General Daily Insight for July 19, 2024
Caution, roadblocks ahead! As the intuitive Moon struggles to work with fiery Mars, frustration with our passions may cause us to feel stuck. The Moon then squares confusing Neptune at 3:58 am EDT, making it hard to know what is really happening, potentially preventing positive plans from forming. Later, the Moon will slide into serious Capricorn, heightening our focus to figure things out. Still, the next struggle between the Moon and Venus may add more unexpected setbacks. Dig deep for patience and grace.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Past choices could have snared you in current issues. Your place of work (or wherever you put in the most effort) might be draining you, or you could have responsibilities that go beyond your capacity. Some things aren’t meant for one person to do! You need rest, especially when you’re putting in a lot of work. The more that you are able to understand this and live your truth, the more that you should be able to break free from being overworked.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
You might be feeling stuck within your own head. You’re likely trying to learn or teach something right now, and the information just isn’t getting in or out. Getting stuck on a concept or stumbling over words on the tip of your tongue would both be frustrating. Don’t give up! The results should be worth the effort that you’re putting in to achieve them. If you don’t figure everything out today, that’s more than okay — it’s normal. Simply try again tomorrow.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Feeling someone else’s frustrations may be setting you back. Whether it’s their stressed emotions creating havoc for you, or their actions frustrating your plans in other ways, it’s important to remember that this is only a temporary situation. There are likely to be many stressors in your current life, especially coming from other people — intentionally or accidentally. Do your best not to let them get to you, as snapping at them risks damaging your cause more than theirs. Block out the chaos.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
The words of others could throw you off balance. Someone may not be telling you the whole truth — or they might not even be telling themselves the truth, choosing to live in a fantasy world while you’re trying to live in reality. It’s potentially impossible for you to go with what they’re saying. While they could be unhappy if you choose to ignore them, you can’t live in their fantasy world with them. Let them follow their path as you follow yours.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Issues with authority figures may force you to come to a standstill. You may be trying to convince your boss to help you with something, or maybe you’re attempting to explain something to your parents, but they’re just not understanding. Whether this is because they’ve completely closed off to communication and refuse to hear you, or they just can’t see past their own perspective despite trying to let you say your piece, you will probably struggle to get anywhere. Be prepared for opposition.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You’ve got big plans, but the risks that you take can create issues for you. You might understand the complexities of traveling with certain people in your life, but you choose to go on the vacation with them anyway for the destination. On the other hand, a dilemma may arise when you want to spend time with certain people, but aren’t very interested in the place that you’d have to meet them in. Only you can decide if the pros outweigh the cons.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You might feel stuck where you are. Whether your mode of transportation is not quite up to par, your work is forcing you to stay late, or you’ve been roped into a social situation that you can’t get out of, it’s likely that you’re going to be somewhere that you don’t totally want to be for the time being. Some emotional discomfort is likely, but you should be able to find a silver lining in one way or another. This too shall pass!
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Someone may call in a favor. You may have been expecting a chill and relaxing day, but then a friend (or friend-of-a-friend) calls you up with a problem that you can plausibly fix. They are likely not to blame for why they’re in this predicament. Even though it probably wasn’t on your calendar, at least consider pitching in. This is what being a good friend is all about — and you might just need to call and ask them for help someday!
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Struck by distraction or rerouted by the universe? It’ll be tricky to get things done today, whether you’re unusually prone to losing focus or your routine keeps throwing curveballs at you. For instance, you may run out of detergent when you need to do laundry, or maybe an irreplaceable ingredient for your dinner will be out of stock. It could be as simple as your least favorite song getting stuck in your head! Build extra wiggle room into your schedule to compensate for such issues.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
The need to express yourself could strike at an inopportune time. You may be trying to make things work with someone that you care about, but then blurt out something that causes them to feel judged or stressed. If you’re working on a group project, be aware of your attitude — even a small mistake might frustrate you to the point of genuine anger. It’s important to keep a cool head, otherwise you risk your words and actions creating extra havoc for you.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Hold on, or let go? This question can be arduous to answer in reality. The past might feel comfortable, but it could be what’s holding you back from achieving what you really want in life. Whether this is old clutter that’s collecting in your house or ideas that have since been disproven by updated knowledge, let go. You don’t have to throw away everything you’ve ever learned, but make sure that the place it takes in your life is a reasonably sized one.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
You might feel like you can’t say what you really want to say. Your mind is on your dreams — whatever you want to be a part of. Still, the people around you might not be receptive to your aspirations. Asserting your dreams in a world where everyone is telling you no can be difficult, but there are people on your side! Your loved ones may not be immediately around you, but they should still support you. Focus on yourself and those in your corner.
