Daily horoscope for July 24, 2023

The urge to act might arrive too early. First, the emotional Moon grumbles at expansive Jupiter, encouraging us to jump into situations with both feet while heightening our emotions to the point that we mistake our desires for reality. The Moon then opposes struggling Chiron at 5:30 pm EDT, bringing a lack of spiritual guidance or empathy. Finally, the Moon misreads unpredictable Uranus, filling us with anxiety and impatience instead of peace and wisdom. Let’s not rush what needs more time.

March 21-April 19

A new connection may need extra time to develop. You could have clicked really well with someone, but the introduction was so recent that you might not know enough about this person to call them your close friend or recommend them to your boss as a new employee. They could try to demand you make a leap in a similar vein, acting like you’re closer than you really are. This is not a good way to maneuver! Keep them at arm’s length for now.

April 20-May 20

You might not be in the home stretch that you think you are. It could seem like you’ve been working towards that health or study goal for so long that you must be nearly done, but you’re probably not quite as close as you’d like to be. Your impatience is potentially distorting your perception of how much you’ve done — consider looking more closely and checking for missed details or more work to be done. Don’t celebrate what you haven’t totally accomplished yet.

May 21-June 20

Finding new friendships can be a risky undertaking at the moment. You might be making new friends quickly or connecting with them through a friend you’re already close to, but they may not be what they seem on the surface. It’s possible that they have underhanded intentions for you, or that they’re a little more off-the-rails than you are when it comes to partying or pushing their bodies. Just because they’re taking certain risks doesn’t mean that you have to do the same.

June 21-July 22

You might be disappointed by your expectations today. You might have felt that you deserve a promotion, a raise, or an award that someone else receives instead of you, inciting some friction or resentment. While it’s understandable and perfectly okay to be disappointed in not being chosen, it’s not okay to lash out at those who did the choosing or at the person who was chosen over you. You can vent privately, but avoid pointing fingers at people who don’t deserve it.

July 23-August 22

Your desire to expand your horizons might get grounded. You could have plans to study a new subject or to travel to a distant destination, but delays and obstacles may crop up when you least expect them. It’s possible that you’ll have to put your dreams on hold for a day to take care of pressing family matters or wait out a storm that you have no control over. Trust that tomorrow will come and these pauses on your progress will end.

August 23-September 22

You may feel unsteady on your feet in a place you once were stable. Places where you once trusted yourself may now fill you with doubt, and activities that you once loved could be making you feel unworthy. Your emotions regarding many things in your life will change as you learn and grow, but you could have more control over this than you’d think. Places that hold sad or stressful memories for you can be filled with better ones, but you have to make them.

September 23-October 22

Peer pressure is a present concern! You could have expressed to a friend that you’re uninterested in a certain activity or that you have a negative history with a mutual acquaintance and choose to avoid that person. Unfortunately, this pal may cross boundaries and insist that you have to do something or spend time with someone you can’t stand if you want to be their friend. If they’re knowingly and regularly crossing your lines, it might be time to end that connection.

October 23-November 21

You could be trying to implement a new habit too quickly. Throwing away all the junk food in your house and replacing it with healthy snacks, or starting a long gym routine when you haven’t exercised in a while, can be intense! It puts you at risk of giving up on these habits before they even get off the ground. Starting everything at once and trying to tackle it like a one-person army isn’t likely to succeed. Allow yourself time to work in increments.

November 22-December 21

Your passion might embolden you to look before you leap. You might want something so badly that you’re willing to take any chance to get it, and while this is a romantic way to think about your ambitions, it can end up hurting you in the long run if you don’t plan your risks reasonably. Taking shortcuts or overworking yourself in an effort to reach your end goal faster puts you in danger of never getting there at all, so be patient.

December 22-January 19

Your ideas of proper order may not line up with reality. Even when your intentions are pure, you can still be naive about what it would take to get to wherever you want to go. You might trust that people in positions higher than yours will give you a hand, but they could shock you by working to keep you down and make sure you don’t surpass them. Keep your ideals high, but be wary of free help from powerful authorities today.

January 20-February 18

Your support system may not be supporting you in the way you need. They could be surrounding you and offering you their help, advice, and presence, but you might prefer to get a break to be alone with your thoughts. It doesn’t make them bad friends for trying to assist in the best ways that they know how, but you have to tell them if their efforts are actually setting you back. Be honest with them about what would genuinely help you out.

February 19-March 20

Financial woes can weigh you down today. You might receive an unexpected bill that destabilizes your budget, or you may struggle with theft or people who would take advantage of your kindness. It can be overwhelming to try and come back from money struggles, but you can do it with focus and dedication. If you need to lean on a friend for support, don’t be too proud to receive their kindness. Trust that you’ll be able to return the favor for them someday.
