Horoscope for July 1, 2018

Moon Alert

Until 5:15 PM today Chicago time, we have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Aquarius.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is a great day to schmooze with others, especially groups. You can benefit from bouncing your future dreams off someone to get their feedback. Regardless of if they discourage or encourage you, don’t act on any influence after the Moon Alert. (See above.) Just chill.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

People notice you today. In fact, they are probably talking about you, including some of the personal details about your private life. Meanwhile, family discussions are active. Great day to entertain at home! (Heed the warning of the Moon Alert.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Because of the placement of the Sun, you are money conscious, which means you might spend more. Because of this, please be aware of the Moon Alert restrictions today. After the Moon Alert, restrict your spending to food, gas and entertainment.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Discussions about inheritances, shared property, insurance or shared expenses with partners and close friends might come up today. Feel free to explore these and act on them until the Moon Alert. (See above.) After that, make no decisions. Spend money only on gas, food and entertainment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is opposite your sign, which means you have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. Yes, you have to cooperate. You will enjoy interacting with others today because Mercury and Venus are in your sign. This makes you talkative, charming and diplomatic. Kiss, kiss.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today the Sun gives you energy to interact with friends, groups, clubs and organizations. Yes, you’re out there flying your colors! You will also use part of this day to tidy things up and get better organized. And why not?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a creative, fun-filled day for your sign. You will enjoy interacting with others, in part because you make a great impression on parents, bosses and VIPs. This is also a great date day. Fun activities with children, sports and the arts will appeal.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Although you want adventure and a sense of exploring the world more, today you want to cocoon at home. (You can’t be all things to all people all of the time.) Be patient with family members because chaos and tension at home might exist. Just chill.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You’re eager to talk to others today because you have something to say. Be aware of one thing. The placement of the Sun directs much of your attention to shared property, taxes, inheritances and financial discussions. After the Moon Alert today, restrict spending to gas, food and entertainment.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Today the Moon is in one of your Money Houses. However, this afternoon a Moon Alert occurs. When it does, do not make financial decisions. Don’t spend money on anything other than food, gas and entertainment. Be smart. (For your own protection.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today the Moon is in your sign, which makes you more emotional than usual. However, it can also make you a bit luckier than all the other signs. Yeah, we like! Enjoy this day. Respect the restrictions of the Moon Alert later this afternoon.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’re in a playful, prankish, flirtatious mood! This is a great day to socialize with others, especially children. You will also enjoy the arts. If you are throwing your money around, be aware of the restrictions of the Moon Alert this afternoon.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Dan Aykroyd (1952) shares your birthday today. You are warm, loving and close to family. You are imaginative, intuitive and attractive to others. It’s time to simplify your life and build solid foundations. Channel your energy in one direction. Exercise is important. Take up yoga, martial arts or jogging — any physical discipline to help ground you. Hard work and effort will pay off this year!
