Georgia Nicols horoscopes for July 26, 2016

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or big decisions from 1 a.m. until 11 a.m. Chicago time. After that, the Moon moves from Aries into Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It’s easy to identify with what you own today. The upside is you will be motivated to take care of your stuff, while the downside is you won’t want to lend anything. Don’t let it bother you if you suddenly feel you have to defend yourself about something ridiculous.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today the Moon moves into your sign to stay for the next two days. This makes you feel more subjective about everything. Your emotions will run strong, and you could be demanding. The upside is that when the Moon is in your sign you are a little bit luckier than everyone else. Yay me!

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

By nature you are curious and chatty. Today, however, as the day wears on you will feel an increasing desire to withdraw somewhere to be by yourself. Get good finger food to snack on, all the better. You just need to cocoon a little.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you might feel protective about a friend. You are willing to help someone, especially a female friend. (You want to bond with someone.) This is also a good day to think about your long-term goals. Do you have any?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might like to know that for some reason, especially this afternoon and this evening, details about your personal life might be public. (Weird.) This could be within your work area or your neighbourhood. It could be anything. Prepare for your “public” moment!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Do something different today! Break free from your usual routine so that you can satisfy your urge for something stimulating and unusual. If you can travel or even take a short trip, do so. Visit ethnic restaurants. Talk to people from different backgrounds. Shake things up a little.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re working hard to earn money and spend it. You’re also enjoying the company of younger, creative people lately. Today and tomorrow, however, make an effort to stay on top of financial matters — banking, debt, taxes, inheritances and shared property. Know what’s happening.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon will move into Taurus, which is 180 degrees opposite from your sign. (And yes, opposites do attract according to astrology.) When the Moon is opposite you, you have to be conciliatory. You have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. No biggie.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Sometimes as the day wears, your energy wanes. But as this day progresses, you will become more work-oriented and fussier about your standards. You will want to tidy up your act and be precise about things so that you feel better organized. Hut! 2, 3, 4!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a lovely, playful day. But it’s also a creative day for you. Therefore, if you work in the arts, the hospitality industry, the entertainment world, show business or perhaps with children, then you will be full of original, creative ideas. Well done!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today, and especially later today, you will enjoy an opportunity to cocoon at home. You have been ambitious, and you have also been involved with partners and friends. Today you need to take a breather so that you can get grounded.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a loosey-goosey day in some respects. But whatever happens, you will want to be on the go, talking to others, taking short trips, plus dispensing and gathering information. Enjoy time sharing your ideas with siblings, neighbors and relatives.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Sandra Bullock (1964) shares your birthday today. You have a pleasant nature and high morals. Others admire your sense of humor, zest for life and money savvy. In the next three years, you will experience a time of culmination, success and financial accumulation. That’s why it is wise to pay down your debt this year. This is also a social year that deals with the results of last year’s change.
