General Daily Insight for July 10, 2024
Our perception may start out skewed, but we’ll be brought back down to earth. The emotional Moon squares expansive Jupiter, making our feelings take on a larger importance. This isn’t automatically bad, though it could tempt us to exaggerate or dramatize events if we’re not careful. We should feel sturdier once the confident Sun trines dedicated Saturn at 11:05 pm EDT, improving our self-confidence and personal discipline. We need to take responsibility for how we feel and ensure our reactions align with reality.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
What’s in your head might not be in line with what’s really going on. You could be stressed, frustrated, and telling everybody about everything wrong, but they may not understand what you mean. From their perspective, you likely have it more together than you think you do. Even so, a listening ear should feel really nice. They may also notice sources of support you hadn’t thought to utilize before. Regardless, any ongoing issues are not the end of the world. You will make it through!
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
You may be feeling stubborn about your decisions. Risks that you took in the past might be playing on your mind, spurring you forward to make the decisions that you’re making in the present — no matter how different the situations are. Other people may be wondering why you’re taking the steps that you’re taking. If someone mentions this to you, take it to heart. When you’re acting as if you were in that part of your history, remember: that was then, this is now.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
This is the time to put your goals before your immediate desires. Everyone gets distracted sometimes, but it’s vital that you see past any recent shiny distractions. What have you been waiting to do for a long time? Consider writing it down and taking a picture of it, then setting that picture as your phone or computer background, so it’s always with you. A consistent reminder of your plans will stabilize your mind, making it that much easier to avoid life’s pitfalls.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Pessimism might be looming larger than it should. You may notice that you’re feeling more on edge out of nowhere, or you could be spiraling with anxiety regarding the outcome of a situation that’s showing no signs of going wrong. When you’re able to step into your power and say no to whatever fears are playing on your mind, you’ll be better able to be kind to yourself. Remember, what-if scenarios don’t always have to be negative — they can be positive, too!
Leo
July 23 – August 22
You might be on the receiving end of someone else’s emotional tidal wave. They might be going through some intense ebbs and flows that have them looking for a shoulder to cry on — or someone to blame. It may be that you’re acting as the voice of reason, but simply stating the facts isn’t the best path forward. Make an effort to be sensitive to what they’re going through. Neither of you has to be right or wrong for them to let healing in.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
An authority figure may overreact, making it hard to respond. You might be unable to tell them outright that they’re overblowing the situation. On the other hand, you might not want to wait around and watch them make an emotional decision that they will regret. Consider trying to distract them or to cheer them up, because this could help them to take their focus away from their stress and improve their perspective in the process. Sometimes, it’s about what they’re not paying attention to.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Information that you come across could be inflammatory, but it may not be completely true. Someone may tell you a particularly shocking piece of gossip or you could read a news article that has an incendiary headline. Keep in mind that the pieces of the story you see need more context before you consider analyzing the whole story. Make sure that you’re not letting your imagination fill in the gaps, because you might then spread misinformation to others. Research before you repeat.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
You don’t have to isolate yourself, Scorpio. A group of acquaintances or coworkers may have led you to feel like an outsider. While continuing your efforts to get to know them could feel awkward, it’s likely to get you further than avoiding them will. Your issues with them may actually stem from the fact that they don’t know you well enough yet, and you might be robbing them of the chance to get to know you if you run off quickly. Stay a while!
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
There’s a fine line between leading and controlling. It’s easy to see your way as the only right way at this time, no matter how right or wrong you are in the real world. This can embolden you to steamroll other people, when their collaboration could help you instead of derailing your plans. Heartfelt and intentional communication, with listening as well as talking, should allow you to understand each other’s point of view, rather than fighting for your way or the highway.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Concealed enemies might be teaching you the wrong way to go. These shadowy antagonists may be intentionally thwarting you, or they could think they’re giving you good advice, but in reality, they’re projecting their desires onto you in an effort to see you live out their dreams or follow in their footsteps. No matter what their motivation is, it’s important to remember that those who know you best should encourage you to do what you love, not what they’d love you to do.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
You might be taking less of a risk than you think you are. Even if you are genuinely going on a limb socially, professionally, or personally, take a look beneath you — there’s probably a safety net in one form or another. Of course, it’s okay to be intimidated by doing something unfamiliar, but you shouldn’t let that stop you from trying. You’ve got more to offer than you know! Take a deep breath and own your unique energy as you chase your ambitions.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Emotional tension can make it challenging to know how to feel. You might be going through a lot of complex feelings, possibly due to your connection with someone else, but remember — this storm won’t last forever. Whether this connection is with a family member, a friend, or a love interest, know that you are capable of resolving whatever struggles you’re going through at the moment. Take a minute to breathe and let the emotions pass through you instead of getting stuck within them.
