Horoscope for July 26, 2018

Moon Alert

Caution: Avoid shopping or important decisions all day after 8:15 a.m. Chicago time. The Moon is in Capricorn.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Parents need to be patient with their kids today. Likewise, romantic partners need to be patient with each other. That’s because fiery Mars is opposite the Sun today. Keep in mind that everybody feels this influence, therefore, chill out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Do what you can to keep the peace at home and within your family today. Be patient with parents and anyone in a position of authority. Guard against knee-jerk reactions. Don’t say anything you will regret later.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. You might feel on edge or aggressive in your dealings with others. You might reply too harsh. Instead, count to three before you respond. Be aware of what you say and what you do. If you’re calm, others will be calm.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Avoid quarrels about money and possessions. Anger serves no purpose other than to make everyone miserable. Who wants to be miserable? Take a moment to figure out what happened and how it can be fixed. Don’t be part of the problem, be part of the solution.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Today fiery Mars is opposite your sign, which could mean something important has come to a culmination. However, it can also mean there’s friction between you and a close friend, partner or spouse. Patience is the antidote to anger. Patience is a wonderful thing to cultivate.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might feel vaguely distressed about something today. You might know why you feel this way or you might not. Either way, don’t be impatient with those who are around you. This is not a winning style. Think of what your long-term objective is and go for that.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your interaction with groups and friends is lively today! However, it’s possible that things could get out of hand. You might be angry with the leader of the group or vice versa. Everyone wants their way. This is the time to pass the talking stick. Ya think?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Don’t be at loggerheads with parents, bosses and authority figures today. This is not how to deal with what annoys you. Instead look for a win/win solution. Get a feel for how someone else is reacting to your words. Whether you’re the boss or not, take the high road. If you do, you can’t lose.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and race today because people are hot under the collar. They will be too quick to argue. Likewise, issues related to publishing, the media, medicine and the law could be flashpoints for disputes. Keep the peace and chill out.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Arguments about shared property, inheritances and anything you own jointly with someone else might arise today. This is a poor day to have these discussions because people are too quick to fight today. If you can postpone important financial discussions, do so. However, you might also complete something important.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Fiery Mars is in your sign today opposing the Sun. This can encourage aggression on your part when dealing with partners and close friends. Obviously, this won’t be a happy day if this aggression arises. Solution: patience and smiles all round.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You have a lot of energy to be productive at work today. Nevertheless, you might also be pushy and too aggressive with others. People hate this. You hate this. Therefore, why even go there? Stay mellow to encourage cooperation with everyone.
