Horoscope for Friday, July 24, 2020

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or important decisions from 6 to 9 p.m. Chicago time. After that the moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Until the moon alert, this is an effective, productive day. Hustle thy buns to get as much done as possible before this. You will be effective at work or perhaps training a pet. (My silverfish never come out in the day. I am firm about this.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You will be productive with creative activities, especially related to the entertainment world or anything to do with the hospitality industry. This is also a great day to get results dealing with children (training or teaching) and working in sports activities.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

A family discussion will be powerful but effective. It will likely take place with a female relative, perhaps Mom. In this discussion, you or someone else will want to get to the bottom of things and find out what’s happening and who is running the show.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today you will take an investigative approach to things because you have the mind of a sleuth. “Elementary, dear Watson.” If need be, you will persuade others to agree with you because you are persuasive and able to cut to the point. “Ah ha!”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You are insightful, which is why you can see new ways of making money or generating money from something you already own. “It’s a bargain! It’s less than half what I paid for it!” You will be persuasive in your financial negotiations.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Today you are insightful and have the ability to see what is at the bottom of things. If people are talking or negotiating, you will see the subtext behind whatever they say. This gives you an advantage. It’s as if you have X-ray vision. “I see dead people.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your ability to research something or seek answers to old questions is excellent today. You’ll be like a dog with a bone because you won’t leave any stone unturned. Whatever you learn will be something that you can use to your advantage either now or in the future.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

A conversation with a friend or a member of a group will be productive because you will achieve your objectives. (The important thing is to remember what your main objective is.) Your arguments will be passionate and this is why you will be convincing. People will agree with you. (They have no choice.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

An interaction with a parent, boss, teacher or police person could be intense. Be aware that you are noticed by others — you’re high visibility. The thing is people seem to know personal details about your private life. Like, what’s with that? You have to deal with this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you are involved in discussions about politics, religion or racial issues, you will be persuasive and convincing. Nevertheless, you cannot “reason” people out of a prejudiced position because prejudiced people never got that way using reason.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You will have no trouble defending your own rights regarding shared property, taxes, debt or disputes about insurance or inheritances, in large measure, because you have strong feelings about these issues today. You must defend your interests.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Because the moon today is opposite your sign, you will have to go more than halfway when dealing with others. This is no big deal. It simply requires diplomacy, courtesy and cooperation, all qualities that you have an abundance.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer, actress Jennifer Lopez (1969) shares your birthday. You are practical and responsible. You are also often the peacemaker in the family. Looking good! It’s your time of harvest, which means you are starting to reap the benefits of the efforts you made in the last decade. You deserve this time of success! As a result, you might enjoy increased influence and leadership in all your relationships.
