Over the Moon
The moon’s flirtation with Mercury in Leo is a reminder of joy’s role in your life. When you feel joyful, it’s much easier to give your time, heart and warmth, which will matter much more than other things you could give. With money, there’s a pressure to invest well. But with joy, one needn’t worry where it lands. Whatever you feel will radiate and contribute to the lift.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re playing with the wide-focused lenses and pondering your place in the grander scheme. Your actions gain new meaning when you consider even the smallest one has the potential to ripple outward and impact others positively.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Narcissus contemplated his reflection and got stuck there. Whether we blame it on beauty, the mirror or human nature in general, the trap is avoidable if you keep moving, focus on what you’re doing and don’t worry about what you look like doing it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re humble and kind — qualities that pair well with being annoyingly good at what you’re doing. Those who might otherwise find your talent intimidating or threatening will be mollified by your warmth and gentleness.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Ask the jury — passing judgment can be a tedious process. Avoid it by staying focused on people you enjoy. “Morality is simply the attitude we adopt toward people we personally dislike.” — Oscar Wilde
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Strange, but it’s true — people can’t always see their own wants and needs. That’s why wanting well is an art. When you really want what you also really need, you’re already halfway to success.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sure, you’d love it if the day turned out to be an enchanting journey, but you’ll also love it if the enchantment is contained in but one moment of stillness. In fact, the second way is more memorable and, in today’s case, could have a profound impact.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The skills you do every day are so much a part of who you are that you don’t even recognize them as anything special. But someone will point out to you that you have more skills than you think.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Susceptibility to influence is a theme of the day. You’ll use it to the advantage of you and the whole world. You’ll be considerate and mindful, interacting with grace, and it will catch on.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll weigh all of the options out of a sense of fairness to everyone, including you. Justice is only served by the choice that’s unlikely to end up with you feeling you’ve somehow missed out.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ve given plenty thought to a situation, and now it’s time for action. Finding the best entry point to the scene will give you an advantage going forward. Think about who could most use what you do.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’re managing a workload all by yourself. There was a time you wouldn’t have been able to do a tenth of this. Remember it and give yourself credit for how far you’ve come. You are due for another growth spurt.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Quiet longings ride under the surface. You may ignore them for a while, but the volume is turning up in increments. It’s a good time to have a you-to-you talk and find out just what you need.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 18). It’s a year of glowing relationships. You’ll work on big projects, learn from new mentors and strategize wins for your family and teams. You’re an asset to your community, which is fulfilling in itself, and it’s also beautiful how you’re recognized and awarded. More highlights: You’ll contribute and accept big donations, completing circles of generosity. Scorpio and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 20, 44, 31 and 10.
