Daily Horoscopes — 25 July 2018

Leave a comment

Late in the night, the Moon sought a helping hand from staid and steady Saturn in Capricorn, who was inclined to hear her out. Meanwhile, the Sun looks back at Uranus to shine some harsh light and harsher perspective on the effects of Uranus’ ingress into Taurus, asking us all to survey the the initial damage generated by a new adaptive crisis.

Aries

Your foundation and your destination come together today to surrender to you a holy boon that illuminates the debt of growth you owe to those who have come before you—”it’s dangerous to go alone; take this!” What could be a better way to repay those who have shaped your life and livelihood than to make manifest the deep magic of a creative tension that has become a rich vein in these recent weeks?

Taurus

You find yourself craving a little of that “old time religion” today, but that is not to undo the journey of deconstruction and reconstruction that has seen hopes and thought forms die and be reborn. Sometimes a little folk religion will keep you honest about the way that your ability to evolve spiritually was forged in the very environment out of which you burst.

Gemini

No, nobody really likes paying bills, but should you choose to go fight the beast of negotiating with creditors today, you’ll meet with more of a listening ear than you anticipated. Attending to such responsibilities brings a certain joy of its own that might be foreign to you because it lives far below the surface and is only freed at a cost that proves to be worthwhile.

Cancer

Reconciliation is a curious thing; it is the very ground where exclusion yields to embrace, and death gives way to life. Today’s unfolding tale draws you into the uncomfortable embrace of an anti-hero, where tension emits sparks of grace and ease that you hadn’t expected as you find in a new friend in the person of an old enemy. Welcome it and guard it dearly.

Leo

Today tests your commitment to the wild ideas that have been rocket fuel propelling your career in recent weeks (and that propulsion isn’t necessarily upward). What’s working and what’s not? And how does your commitment to upward growth serve to root you more solidly in the life that you are constructing as a creative matrix for yourself in which to grow and flourish?

Virgo

The sacrament of the ordinary lies hidden in plain sight and today’s tale tests your ability to perceive it, as despite your very best efforts the worlds within worlds hiding among the details remain lost to you. A friend comes to your aid with to shake the scales from your eyes which have been preventing you from seeing the divine joy of small and precious things.

Libra

Work must yield to home today as a tension emerges that illuminates your responsibility to the ties that bind. Yet not all need be burdensome, for in attending to the needs of the microcosm in orbit around you, you’ll find a great treasure that lies in the deep mystery of the local community in which you live and move and have your being.

Scorpio

Keep watch for the dust storm that kicks up when a prominent superior is challenged by an adaptive crisis that emerges from your most recent collaborative undertaking. A little bit of office drama goes a long way, and the ensuing fallout presents you with an opportunity to succor the wounds even of your very enemies, for their debt to you triggers a sudden spray of magnanimity.

Sagittarius

Your big-heartedness comes to the fore once again today as you grant the request of someone who comes to you for aid. Teaching someone to fish may be important in the end game, but one can’t fish if they’re too enfeebled to cast the net in the first place, and not everyone has bootstraps with which to pull themselves up. Give ear to the ascetic wisdom that this exchange brings forward.

Capricorn

A partner in life or work makes an humble demand of you which you feel uncommonly happy to countenance, for their words will be precisely tuned to your refined and subtle tastes in the sounds of supplication. Granting this request might give you deeper insight into how much of a sucker you are for suck-ups, and this uncomfortable realization may help turn a handicap into a superpower.

Aquarius

What is it about martyrdom that is so attractive—does it make for a better story? Does diminishing yourself to build up others truly enrich your life together? Falling on your own sword is hardly necessary to prove your dedication to those around you since your commitment to working for the common good is already visible. A piercing and prominent friend who has been in your corner the whole time points this out to you all too readily.

Pisces

Joy is as real as sorrow is, and today, a staid companion turns out to be a benefactor who assists you in bringing to bear a moment of joy amid otherwise unsettling circumstances which would easily slip past in a dissociative fog. You resist being brought down to earth, but today, being grounded is the very thing that frees you from the confinement of your own desire to melt into the universe.

Peacemaking Venus in Virgo faces off against numbing Neptune in Pisces, and the odds are stacked in Neptune’s favor, meaning we all might end up a little more jaded than we bargained for today. Meanwhile, a waxing Capricorn Moon does her level best to create a nurturing container to add some structure to whatever earthy chaos Uranus is fomenting.

Aries

A distant relative becomes an unexpected hero as they offer advice for a situation that’s erupted with a neighbor’s kids—and most likely, it has something to do with “make sure you’re picking fights that are yours to pick.” Meanwhile, you’ve been doing without and tightening the belt, but pay attention to the way the work you’re called to do in this world puts a fence for the chaos to roam around in safely.

Taurus

A neighbor or sibling comes to collect today, but fortunately, you’ve been planning for it all along. Don’t neglect to pay them precisely what you owe, even if you don’t especially like them, because you’ll receive a blessed infusion of structuring energy later on today that reins in the chaos. Right now, you can take all the grounded relief you can get.

Gemini

Your wallet is in your partner’s pocket today, but they are utilizing the bounty that you have generated in order to construct a fantastic container around the life that you have built with them, beautifying and ordering it in ways that it may take you some time to appreciate. Accept the way that their optimistic presence succors the chaos of your inner hurricane.

Cancer

Today you may need to reach out to ask a neighbor or sibling for help, but they help only begrudgingly and with plenty of invective about you having gotten yourself into this situation in the first place. Consider instead the way that you can help them first and be ready to lean on shared goals as a means of inviting them to see eye to eye with you.

Leo

If you thought your temptation to indulge in a little bit of prodigality was bad yesterday, today it gets even worse as ample opportunities to bankroll your public image present themselves. Why not instead adorn yourself with the gift of the company you keep, which is available to you more than you can imagine, who are better ornaments than anything you can impulse buy on Amazon?

Virgo

Tough love from a friend hits home today, and every good intention you’ve had to get your house in order seems to be called into question.
This prompts you to reconsider the ways in which you have been complacent with things as they are—and your insistence on changing them. But their words are not so much about your true self as about the way they perceive you, and the wisdom here is to know the difference.

Libra

Your words today toward a trusted soul-friend are full of bombast and boldness. Don’t be alarmed when such dynamism puts them off, but instead, listen to how their response is calling you to be a more compassionate communicator during this season of disillusionment. Whatever sediment is stirred up will fertilize their growth as much as yours.

Scorpio

Listen carefully to whatever it is that a relative has to say about your proclivity towards dynamic partnerships, because their wizened perspective might contribute an important element to assist you in handling the vagrant energies that are even now shaking up your very concept of what a “partnership” is to begin with—and to which you’ve been oblivious.

Sagittarius

The wild new underlings who have found their way to your care have big dreams and a big impact on your career. Pay attention to the way that your superiors and collaborators offer feedback on your own leadership style, because applying their insight will prove to give those who work for you the structure they need in order to minimize damage and maximize growth.

Capricorn

As good as you are as building containers for the unpredictable wildernesses of life to grow and flourish in, you’ll need a little extra help to make it happen this time around—and fortunately, you have it, as a friendly collaborator joins forces with you to put stakes in the garden for your vines to grow upward instead of everywhere.

Aquarius

Today you’re reminded that laughter truly is the best medicine for some ailments as you reach out for help bearing a load that may not have been yours to bear in the first place. Whatever the case, allow this sudden moment of joy to salve the pain of disillusionment as you continue in this present season of having old beliefs, values, and burdens dissolved.

Pisces

Whatever new work is coming to being meets with more than a little constructive criticism as you present it to a collaborator, whose present concern for presentation shunts the expansiveness of the vision driving the project at hand. As much as you might like to excuse yourself and needlessly apologize for what you’ve done, you’ll find the unexpected strength to say precisely what needs to be said in order to defend your work.

Daily Horoscopes – 21 July 2018

Leave a comment

My friend Jo Gleason put out a challenge on twitter for astrologers to write a daily horoscope column for 30 days, so I took her up on it—and I actually decided to start it a day before Leo season starts! I’m pumped to share these with you, and I hope that, whether they’re accurate or not, they prove to be useful food for your journey.

NB: Remember to read from your rising sign.

ARIES

The ever-present demands of your roots stymie a duty to put forth some new work into the world with a peculiar demand on your energy that you hadn’t quite anticipated. Allow yourself the grace to orient your outflow of energy in such a way that it contributes to going deeper with your existing creative commitments rather than insisting on always leading the charge. Such obstacles can’t be avoided, but they might prove to be the richest grist for the mill should you choose to embrace them.

TAURUS

Synergistic work with a treasured Other becomes the ground for mundane tensions as creative ecstasy dissipates into the very un-sexy questions about “well, who’s going to pay for it?” Indeed, you’re asked: who is the executive producer behind the Great Work you’ve set out to manifest today? And who’s writing the checks? As expansive and beautiful as your idea may be, the challenge arises from the fact that, at the end of the day, you have to eat.

GEMINI

For as much as you desire to enervate social circuitry with your effervescent presence, today demands that you attend to the amount you have to give. Your own ability to spark connection flags as your emotional—or financial—powers get caught up in the deep demands and deathly drudgery of the situations and structures you create for yourself, including the social ones. The challenge is not to be boxed in by the limitations of your own intentions but rather to leverage what already exists to strengthen existing connections to others and to yourself.

CANCER

Maintaining your shell becomes the point where the gears grind as a desire to dive deeper into your experience of joy brings you face-to-face with the awkward agreements that you’ve gotten yourself into through words spoken hastily. You’ve made a big promise, but have you written a check that you can’t cash? Lest you be exposed, consider carefully what it is that you have the ability to follow through on; that said, your heart was in the right place.

LEO

A friend has their eye on you and are your biggest asset, despite your insistence to the contrary. Meanwhile, your desire to set your own course may well hamstring you from accepting the gift they have to offer. Not every friend is a gift-bearing Greek, and you are asked today to consider deeply just how much those in orbit around you have contributed to the outrageous life you’ve lived so far, for your legacy is just as much their doing as it is your own.

VIRGO

The faithful ally is the one who sees you heading towards a cliff and grabs you by the scruff of your neck to stop you from plummeting into the abyss of your own making. Count yourself lucky when words come your way that might make you bristle: they are for your own good. You’ll let the voice of reason get a word in edgewise as you consider escape routes from situations that have been long in your own making, for it’s never been like you to charge headlong into unknown territory without all the facts. Do this and shine.

LIBRA

How do people see you? Whatever the answer, that answer is the handiest tool on your belt today as the question of public perception and where you’re headed in this one wild life pings off of your sometimes too-idealistic desire to see a world restored to beauty. It is, after all, your reputation that precedes you, and today is the day to whet the blade of peace for the great work that lies ahead, even when that great work becomes the source of your greatest disappointment. Peace is ever a process.

SCORPIO

There is always something to be learned in the vicissitudes that jolt us out of the deep-soul diving that has become as comfortable to you as an old recliner, and today that lesson might just be that you can’t do this alone. Pay attention to the way that your own desire to expand your heart by plunging your own depths butts up against the scintillating challenges posed by the people orbiting you and their various needs, for in meeting others in the space of tension you may find yourself with newfound cause to molt and grow.

SAGITTARIUS

Grief is the price we pay for love, and the invoice comes in today in deep and subtle ways as you realize how the demands of the people who count on you have shaped your behaviors and choices in ways not always authentic to who you are. Yet there is a deep joy in the griefs that love demands from us, and paying those debts can only make your heart grow larger, like the nights that now grow imperceptibly longer, opening the frontier for your dreams to carry you into new ways of loving.

CAPRICORN

For some holy and maddening reason, duty is your ideal, and today your very treasured Other might very well come up against the responsibilities you have to them. This tension might prove electric if you allow it to become the ground for duty to link arms with ideal once again in supporting your treasured Other in getting to wherever it is they dream of going but do be cautious of how much of their dream is yours to manage (lest you appropriate that dream for yourself at the expense of your own).

AQUARIUS

Do you allow your treasured Other to be part of raising whatever holy mischief you have generated for yourself, whether kids or otherwise? Your sense of diligence and obligation comes to bear in your career as the task in front of you requires a deep dive, leaving you unable to attend to other responsibilities, which can feel quite deathly to you. You’ve let nothing slide; duty has called you in a different direction. That being the case, help your Other help you; they’ve been wanting an opportunity to shine, so let them!

PISCES

A nascent dream to escape into some kind of creative fugue state will never come to be so long as you have your duty to home and to your extant partnerships pinning you down, and neither will an impulse to cross into parts unknown and adopt internationally—whether habits, customs, languages, or children—make you more comfortable with where you are. What resplendent grace does the gritty sacrament of the present moment have to offer you?
