A Day of Contrasts and Opportunities
Today is a day filled with contrasts. The Moon in Aquarius aligns beautifully with Venus, fostering warmth in friendships and making it easier to connect with others. This social openness encourages kind exchanges, creative flirtation, and pleasant moments of collaboration. However, Mercury is in opposition, which can lead to mental friction or a tendency to talk past each other. Miscommunication is more likely when you assume you’re being clear. Therefore, take time to listen and clarify, especially with those you care about. The right words might be harder to find, but the intention behind them still matters.
As Maya Angelou once said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Leading with kindness is essential, and don’t get hung up on being perfectly understood.
Moon Alert
Avoid shopping or making important decisions after 3:30 p.m. EDT today (12:30 p.m. PDT) for the rest of the day, as well as tomorrow. The Moon is in Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
There is a strong likelihood that a friend or a member of a group will catch you off guard today and test your ability to be diplomatic and cool. Be aware of this. Don’t take the bait! Meanwhile, expect some resistance when talking to your kids or a romantic partner. Tonight: Private life.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today has a double-edged sword. Financial negotiations will go well. In fact, you might impress a boss or someone in authority with your financial expertise. Nevertheless, discussions with parents or family members might be challenging. Tonight: Talk to others.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Travel plans look favorable. This is also a great day to study or learn something new. Meanwhile, romance with someone different might blossom! Discussions about politics, religion, or racial issues could trigger a difference of opinion. To keep the peace, you might have to agree to disagree. Tonight: Check your money.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Financial squabbles or misunderstandings might take place today. These could relate to your earnings and cash flow, or they might relate to shared responsibilities and shared property. Fortunately, something going on behind the scenes will favor you. (Is that a cavalry bugle I hear?) Tonight: You’re blessed.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be patient with a partner or close friend today. The Moon is opposite Mercury in your sign, and this can trigger petty squabbles. Fortunately, relations with friends, as well as groups, are warm, friendly, and mutually rewarding. You win some, you lose some. Tonight: Enjoy privacy.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You make a great impression on others today, especially authority figures — parents, bosses, and even the police. Nevertheless, you might have some differences at work with someone younger, perhaps someone in an organization or even a friend. You can handle this. Tonight: Enjoy friendships.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is an excellent day to make travel plans or explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine, and the law. Doors will open for you. Romance with someone different might blossom. Be patient with a younger friend who needs your understanding. Tonight: You’re admired.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Discussions with parents and authority figures might be challenging today. However, it’s an excellent day to ask for a loan or a mortgage, or to ask for help from someone, because assistance will be forthcoming. You’ll come out smelling like a rose. Tonight: Travel plans?
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Steer clear of controversial subjects related to politics, religion, or racial issues today. They will trigger arguments. Fortunately, relations with those who are close to you are warm and rewarding today. You feel genuine affection for someone. Tonight: Define boundaries.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Minor squabbles about possessions, shared responsibilities, or shared property don’t have to ruin your day today. This is a favorable day to discuss money related to your job or any work that you do. Likewise, relations with co-workers are happy and supportive. Tonight: Rest.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You’re in the driver’s seat today because the Moon is in your sign, which gives you a slight advantage over all the other signs. This is a great day to socialize and schmooze! Enjoy sports events, activities with kids, and fun outings. (However, you have to be patient with a partner or close friend.) Tonight: Work.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Family relations are smooth today. This is why this is an excellent day to entertain at home, especially because you feel eager to socialize and enjoy the arts, as well as the company of children. If some minor differences related to your job occur today, don’t let this get in the way of happy times with others. Tonight: Socialize!
If Your Birthday Is July 12, 2025
You are intellectual, analytical, and sensitive. You can inspire and direct the actions of others. This is the beginning of a new nine-year cycle. Expect adventure and major changes. Keep your eyes open for new opportunities. Be ready to take action and define your goals.
