Your horoscope from July 9 to 15, 2015

    1 of 1 2 of 1

      Enjoy the food, the people, the games, the romance; let the music move you. Thursday through Saturday afternoon, the transiting Taurus moon feels mighty fine. Saturday evening through Monday, the transiting Gemini moon perks up the interest, the sports action, and the conversation.

      For the most part, the stars are dialled down rather than up through next Wednesday. Still, there are notable transits to report. Sunday evening, sun/Uranus offers an energy pickup. Shifting the action or attention, it’s appropriate for the weekend’s event tear-down and pack-up. Sun/Uranus can also provide a jump-start to the week ahead.

      Monday’s Mercury/Neptune is relaxed, romantic, and easygoing. Just before midnight, Venus turns a corner with Saturn. This transit has been building for a few days. It is one that has exerted background tension, worry, waiting, or holdup. With Venus/Saturn out of the way, Tuesday should prove pleasant and smooth-rolling.

      Wednesday’s emotional new moon in Cancer provides the happening of the week. Usually, a new moon is a quiet influence, but this one has a lot of kick to it. That’s because it involves Mars/Mercury in a passion play opposite Pluto; the moon also activates Uranus. The fight, work, or agenda is already set out for us—the day calls for hitting it hard. It should be a notable one for sports, competitions, and sparring. There’s no choice but to go at it full-tilt and give it your best shot.

      Aries
      March 20 - April 20

      Venus and Jupiter continue to make this a special time for soaking it up, loving them up, and treating yourself to more of the good stuff. Sunday’s sun/Uranus could light a spark; spontaneity does it best. Whether push comes to shove overtakes you or it simply feels like the right time, Wednesday’s new moon compels you to speak up and take an important official step.

      Taurus
      April 20 - May 21

      The Taurus moon makes for a feels-good, falls-right-into-place Friday. Just as it’s time to settle down on Sunday evening, sun/Uranus perks it up again. The flow is also good Monday/Tuesday, but these days are built for comfort rather than accomplishment. Wednesday’s new moon is the action peak of the week. Whether you want to or not, you can get talked, pulled, or pushed into it.

      Gemini
      May 21 - June 21

      Now through Saturday, it’s time to slip into something more comfortable. Thursday, Friday, and next Tuesday are your best nights for romance or for getting your pleasure fill the way it suits you best. Sunday evening may be on a wind-down, but you’ll hit a wind-it-up. Even though you may face resistance or a limitation, Wednesday’s work-through-it new moon thrusts you into full steam ahead.

      Cancer
      June 21 - July 22

      Enjoy the local action or head out of town; either way, it’s a great time to take a vacation. Sunday’s sun/Uranus and Monday’s Mercury/Neptune can feel like someone opened a window and let you out. These transits can also give you a new perspective or put something opportune in your path. There’s no holding back once Wednesday’s new moon flicks the switch.

      Leo
      July 22 - August 23

      Are you feelin’ it? Gifting Venus and Jupiter in Leo keep the good buzz going strong through the end of next week. For the most part, the stars are built for ease, not for speed. Sunday’s stars pump more into the end of the day than the beginning. Monday/Tuesday can simply evaporate, but Wednesday’s new moon hits all systems go.

      Virgo
      August 23 - September 23

      Outside of the heat wave, there’s no reason to sweat it through most of the coming week. Get up to something or get up to nothing; take your time; savour each step of the way. Sunday evening, sun/Uranus pushes the refresh button. By Wednesday’s emotional new moon, Mercury, Mars, and Pluto aim for shake, not stir. You can’t help but dive into it.

      Libra
      September 23 - October 23

      Less effort adds up to more pleasure. If it isn’t on the must-do list, why exert yourself? Pay the extra for the convenience or reward—it’s worth it. Take a break Sunday night through Monday night; switch tracks or channels. Wednesday’s new moon in Cancer won’t waste any time jumping into the thick of it. It’s sure to be an emotional day.

      Scorpio
      October 23 - November 22

      The thermometer might hit high, but the stars are cooking it up just right. Put ambition on the back burner; let the mood of the moment dictate the play, or let someone else do the driving. It might be the middle of the week, but Wednesday’s new moon is great for a vacation start or launching full-tilt into something new.

      Sagittarius
      November 22 - December 21

      Friday brings the week to a feel’s-good end. Socialize or putter around for the weekend. Saturday/Sunday, short spurts or visits will entertain you best. Monday/Tuesday, it’s easy to lose track of time. Wednesday’s new moon is unblocking, unleashing, or freeing. Someone could push a sale or an agenda on you. Passion and emotion are on quick brew. Sex is hot; anger is not.

      Capricorn
      December 21 - January 20

      TGIF. Enjoy! Ready or not, something fresh can pop up or at you on new-moon Wednesday. You could feel pushed into more than you planned to do, say, or spend. What transpires can seem premature or too rushed, but see it as an opportunity. You are wise to take advantage of the timing.

      Aquarius
      January 20 - February 18

      Enjoy it with family or friends, or on your own—through Saturday afternoon, home is the best place to park it. Sunday can be easy-rolling, but by evening you’ll crave something more. Thanks to Mercury, Mars, and Pluto, you’ll see plenty of action on new-moon Wednesday. Work-, expense-, or health-wise, you could face an onslaught.

      Pisces
      February 18 - March 20

      While you enjoy the summer’s best, something may be weighing on your mind. Sunday’s sun/Uranus can spark a fresh insight or something more. Tuesday’s confidence-building Venus/Saturn marks the time as ripe. Let Wednesday’s primed-for-action new moon be your springboard. Make money, make love, start a vacation, start anything—put passion into play. Win.
