Horoscope for Monday, July 8, 2019

Moon Alert

We have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This week, Mercury Venus and Mars are all in Leo, your fellow fire sign. This bodes well for you because it boosts your energy and makes you enthusiastic and ready for fun! Admittedly, retrograde Mercury will attract old flames back into your life. Expect some surprises — old or new!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

This is a fast-paced time, but you must focus on home, family and your private life. Something unexpected might occur (hopefully, pleasant). Unexpected company might drop by. A family member might have surprising news. You might also impulsively buy something beautiful for your home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Although you’re focused on money, cash flow and values three planets urge you to get out and do things! Talk to someone, because you will make a strong impression. Admittedly, Mercury retrograde might create delays, mixed-up communications and confusion. Nevertheless, something new and pleasant will make your day!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Issues with money and cash flow are unpredictable. Perhaps you will impulsively buy something? You might also see a way to make money on the side or get a better-paying job. If so, look to places where you worked before or had contact with before because old deals pay off best.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Three planets are now in your sign — Mercury, Venus and Mars. Yes, it’s all about you, even though the sun wants you to be low-key. Contact from ex-partners and old friends is likely. (They might be a tad forceful or intrusive!) Meanwhile, a surprise encounter or invitation might please you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

This continues to be a popular time. However, hidden energy is at play. You can use this to your advantage by relying on research, study and working behind the scenes in a way that suddenly becomes your advantage. Secret love affairs are likely.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Old friends are back in your life again. An encounter with someone, perhaps creative or artistic, will please you (and be hard to ignore!) This might introduce something unexpected or surprising into your world. Meanwhile, bosses, parents and VIPs are impressed.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You might rehash an old subject with a boss or a parent. If so, you will speak your mind. Fortunately, someone in a position of authority will vouch for you or choose you. In fact, this might surprise you. Be happy for everything that comes your way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

A sudden opportunity to travel might fall in your lap. Or perhaps you get a chance to take a course or study something? This is an excellent day for studying and writing because you feel proactive and affirmative. Go get ‘em Tiger!

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You have strong opinions about shared property, inheritances and such. You’re ready to defend your best interests. Look for a surprise gift or favor from another source, which means this is an excellent day to negotiate for yourself. Ka-ching!

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with partners and close friends are unpredictable. Someone might do or say something you least expect. Old friends and ex-partners from the past might catch you off guard. Or perhaps an old issue with a partner? Hopefully, all goes well because Venus will soften things.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

A surprise raise or praise from a boss will please you. You’re keen to work hard despite the fact the retrograde Mercury is introducing delays, goofy mistakes and equipment breakdowns on the job. Work fast and hard because you want time off for good behavior!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Milo Ventimiglia (1977) shares your birthday. You are adaptable and friendly. You are also intuitive when dealing with others. It’s time to leave behind heavy burdens and move to something new and lighter! This is why you are winding up many things you began nine years ago. Start to identify what is no longer relevant in your life. You are lightening your load to get ready for new beginnings.
