Your HOROSCOPE
For Tuesday, July 24
It’s all too easy to confuse our unfulfilled desires with reality today as seductive Venus opposes enchanting Neptune. Thankfully, we can avoid embarrassment or even heartbreak by asking questions to check out other people’s feelings. It’s not safe to assume we know what’s inside someone else’s mind. The problems created by mixing up fact and fiction are minimized with a little help from the Moon’s shift into realistic Capricorn at 5:48 p.m. EDT.
ARIES MARCH 21–APRIL 19
Diplomacy is a gift. It’s clear that you’re well-liked and bring light wherever you go, but not everybody is a cardcarrying member of your fan club. Hidden enemies strike with betrayals that you never see coming. Pay attention to subtle snark in the workplace.
TAURUS APRIL 20–MAY 20
All that glitters isn’t gold. The Leo season launch heralds romance and socialization. Make generous assumptions about acquaintances, but take your time. Receive compliments and flattery with a grain of salt. Thoroughly vet new friends before inviting them in to your circle of trust.
GEMINI MAY 21–JUNE 20
Discern between idealism and naivete. Your generosity helps others feel at home, but watch your giving. Peoplepleasing might initially appear to benefit you at work, but colleagues take mental note of spineless tendencies. Stay humble, extraordinary and vigilant.
CANCER JUNE 21–JULY 22
Permission is granted to rock the boat. Wolves in sheep’s clothing abound; use your inherent emotional intelligence to ask curious questions for more clarity. Pay attention for unnecessary exaggerations or microaggressions. Walk on the edge, but don’t fall off the cliff.
LEO JULY 23–AUG. 22
Money comes and goes. You can spend as quickly as you earn when you take for granted that it will come again, but life can be unpredictable. Enjoy your opulence, and circulate your currency, but also handle your debts with integrity, and stay in honor.
VIRGO AUG. 23–SEPT. 22
Familiarity breeds contempt, but it takes two to tango. Examine your reasons for choosing your partner. Address any dissatisfaction with your significant other. When you place anyone on a pedestal, disappointment arises when others show themselves as fallible and human.
LIBRA SEPT. 23–OCT. 22
There’s a thin line between love and hate. Your expression of love is boundless and unconditional, but you can also get caught up in self-indulgence, fantasies or secrecy. Pay attention to red flags. It’s up to you whether you learn through joy or pain.
SCORPIO OCT. 23–NOV. 21
The people-pleasing stops here. You shine bright in social groups, but some associations may have a detrimental effect on your health. Blind trust can lead to chaotic love affairs or relationships that dissolve for no apparent reason. You owe nobody anything more than respect.
SAGITTARIUS NOV. 22–DEC. 21
Popularity potentially leads to laziness or entitlement. Your pleasurable personality endears others to you, and you may find professional opportunities handed to you on silver platters. Things aren’t always as they appear.
CAPRICORN DEC. 22–JAN. 19
In a world that promotes manifesting all your desires, you may sell yourself short. Often what we think we want sends us right to hell immediately after receiving it. . A powerful prayer is to stand in the nothingness of being an open vessel to be used for the highest good of all involved.
AQUARIUS JAN. 20–FEB. 18
Perfection is a fleeting fantasy. Chasing the carrot for dopamine hits, and constantly doing more under the auspices of feeling better once you “get there” will only keep you spinning your wheels. Avoid risky speculations or get-richquick schemes.
PISCES FEB. 19–MARCH 20
Another person might not be able to give you the good life you imagine. You desire affection, but watch for the tendency to idealize whoever’s in front of you today. True love is to take another exactly as they are, without it being conditional on them acting exactly how you want them to be.
