Horoscope for Monday, July 29, 2019

Moon Alert

After 7 a.m. Chicago time, we have the all clear to shop and make important decisions. The moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Aries parents must be alert because Monday often has a funny, intense energy at the best times, but today, it is an accident-prone time for your kids. Therefore, be vigilant. Keep your eyes open and remove any possible hazards. Meanwhile, social engagements will likely change.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your home routine will change because of something unexpected. Grrr. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Arguments at breakfast are likely. Someone you least expect might knock at the door. Aaggh! Get dressed and get ready.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for your sign. This applies to driving, cycling, jogging — the works. Even verbal accidents. Therefore, think before you blurt something out. On the upside, you might have original, genius-like ideas!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions because something unexpected will affect them. You might find money; you might lose money. Something you own might be lost, stolen or damaged. The good news is you might have a clever money-making idea!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The sun is in your sign at odds with wild, wacky Uranus. This makes you restless and impulsive. If you are too restless and too impulsive then you will become accident-prone; therefore, do what you can to become more mindful and aware. For your own good as well as others.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Like Leo, you feel restless but for you, this energy is taking place behind the scenes. You might be the only one feeling it — but you know it’s there. The thing to do is not to let it provoke you into suddenly doing or saying something rash. Keep your cool. (You can do this.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might meet a real character. Or perhaps someone you know will say or do something that amazes you? You might be surprised about an interaction with a group perhaps because they want you to join them or because they want to kick you out. (Little joke.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a tricky day if you’re dealing with bosses, parents, the police or authority figures. For starters, they might catch you off guard and do or say something that surprises you. Or possibly, you feel rebellious? You want to say something that surprises them! Chill out.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Travel plans will be interrupted in some way — tiny or major. If you are traveling, double-check your schedules because something unexpected will happen. The obvious, of course, is cancellations and delays. But it could be other little things that throw you a curve. Be proactive.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be wise and make friends with your bank account and know what’s happening with anything regarding inheritances, insurance disputes or shared property because something unexpected will occur. Be aware of this in case it needs your immediate attention.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Expect a few surprises when dealing with partners and close friends. They might suggest something unusual like more freedom in the relationship or a different arrangement. Or maybe something minor? Things will not unfold as you expect.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your work routine will be interrupted — almost certainly. Staff shortages, computer crashes, equipment breakdowns, canceled meetings are just a few examples. Knowing this ahead of time, hopefully, give yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to cope with surprises. Be smart.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Comic book writer Gail Simone (1974) shares your birthday. You are dependable and make the perfect friend or partner. You are charming and visionary about the future. This is a fun-loving year. Enjoy increased popularity and warm friendships. This year you will be more grateful for your life and will appreciate the happiness and beauty around you in a daily way. You will make an important choice — choose wisely.
