For Friday, July 30
What brings our physical bodies pleasure may conflict with how we think the world should work as sensual Venus and structure-focused Saturn tangle in a frustrating quincunx at 1 2 :2 7 p.m. EDT. We might not be able to satisfy everyone, but we can keep moving forward! The caring Moon sets our pace with a fortunate sextile to optimistic Jupiter, before settling into cozy Taurus.
ARIES MARCH 2 1 -APRIL 1 9
Responsibilities may get in the way of hanging out with your friends, but you could be relieved — work might actually be more fun for you right now!
A social dynamic where you aren’t quite sure what is expected of you could be frustrating.
TAURUS APRIL 2 0 -MAY 2 0
You may be in tune with what really makes you feel good today, and feel the desire to bring that joy into your public persona. The hardest part for you could be worrying that you’re somehow going against the pronouncements of an authority figure.
GEMINI MAY 2 1 -JUNE 2 0
Admitting to enjoying your home or family life just the way it is right now could be hard for you, especially if it doesn’t match ideas you got from experts or your peers about what it should look like. Competing with others in this regard is likely to do more harm than good.
CANCER JUNE 2 1 -JULY 2 2
Your ability to communicate may be more powerful than usual at this time, but every power has its limits. Even if you are stating your case as well as anyone possibly could, someone significant still may not want to hear you out, thanks to their own shame.
LEO JULY 2 3 -AUG. 2 2
A know-it-all could be in your life right now, one who’s certain they know exactly what you should be doing with your money. Acknowledging (at least to yourself) that this person is out of line might be the first step to deciding how to handle them.
VIRGO AUG. 2 3 -SEPT. 2 2
What makes you look and feel good may be different from what you think is healthy. This conflict between your lived experience of pleasure and rigid ideas of wellness might be especially difficult for you to deal with if you’ve made those ideals part of your identity.
LIBRA SEPT. 2 3 -OCT. 2 2
No matter how many fun opportunities you have today, be honest about whether or not you want to pursue them. Rest and downtime may be more genuinely appealing to you, and forcing yourself to socialize when your heart isn’t really in it.
SCORPIO OCT. 2 3 -NOV. 2 1
Though you may find connecting with others appealing today, your domestic obligations could interfere with your social calendar. If there is no other way for you to hang out, you might see if your friends are able to help with whatever project is keeping you stuck at home.
SAGITTARIUS NOV. 2 2 -DEC. 2 1
Progress is the natural consequence of putting in your time on routine work, but you may have suddenly reached a point where your movement toward your bigger life goals is no longer possible to ignore. In the moment, this could trigger some discomfort if you feel like you have outgrown your longtime peers.
CAPRICORN DEC. 2 2 -JAN. 1 9
You may be interested in planning a trip or taking a class to broaden your perspective, but money worries could hold you back. While it is important to acknowledge that your resources are not infinite, you might be more capable than you think.
AQUARIUS JAN. 2 0 -FEB. 1 8
While an opportunity to combine resources with someone else could be beneficial to you, you might feel drawn to the security of self-reliance and separateness instead. You have worked hard to articulate who you are, so you probably aren’t eager to give that up.
PISCES FEB. 1 9 -MARCH 2 0
Connecting with others can be exciting and invigorating, but you could be limited by your own body’s need for rest. If you know you can’t keep up with all of the social opportunities that appeal to you, try to focus on those that are most likely to have lasting importance.
