General Daily Insight for July 18, 2021
Our emotional needs could be intense today as the Moon moves through the powerful Water sign of Scorpio. When it trines articulate Mercury at 9:13 am EDT, we might be able to put this depth into words. Both the Moon and Mercury, however, run into trouble with grumpy Saturn, and others may not seem to care how we feel. Meanwhile, distant Pluto and Neptune nudge passionate Venus and Mars, reminding us that we matter as individuals even when it is inconvenient.

Aries
March 21-April 19
You may have your finger on the emotional pulse of your loved ones today. What you detect might be that your familial relationships look a little different from how people picture the average family. There’s no need to worry that anyone else thinks you’re strange — after all, everyone’s family is at least a little different from the norm. Don’t invite judgment by asking others for their opinions. If you follow your heart, you’re unlikely to go wrong.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
Conversation has a lot of productive potential for you at this time, especially one-on-one. You can listen to the other person so that they feel heard, and this in turn makes them more willing to consider your side of the story. Trying to act on your findings may be more frustrating, as they might not be what a relevant authority figure wants to hear. If this person won’t listen right away, focus on strengthening your own foundation so you can try again another day.
Gemini
May 21-June 20
Money may flow easily to you as a result of your work at this time. The hard part might be that the job itself doesn’t live up to your ideal of what you should be doing with your life. Even if you appreciate your current level of financial security, you could feel like you deserve a career with more meaning or a higher social status. Talking out your concerns with someone else can help you get perspective. Whatever you conclude, being heard feels good!
Cancer
June 21-July 22
Though you might be able to put into words what really brings you joy, actually making it happen could be another story. You could feel tied down by a situation where you share money or property with someone else, as whatever you have in mind might be seen as too risky for the collective purse. Your best bet might be to focus on building up your own resources; doing that will allow you more freedom to do what you want with your assets.
Leo
July 23-August 22
Rest may be calling you, but someone else is likely making a competing demand for your attention. If you feel like you just aren’t up for dealing with them, you might need to insist on focusing on yourself. You could lash out if you don’t get the downtime you need, which would ultimately cause more drama than disappointing the other person in the moment. When you honor your own needs, you’ll have more to give back to others whenever you’re ready.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
Communicating with your friends and acquaintances can go smoothly for you today, in terms of spreading useful information and making people feel heard. If you have responsibilities hanging over your head, however, you might feel so guilty about socializing that you don’t fully enjoy it. Though you may think that this is the last thing you have time to do, turning inward to reflect on your priorities could be very helpful for you. It’s okay for joy to be one of those priorities.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Financial security could feel more attainable than ever as your career grows to new heights. On the other hand, you might realize by now that this success comes at the cost of your personal expression being curtailed in some way. Expecting to get all of your emotional needs met by your work is probably not realistic for you, so don’t forget about your friends as you ride the escalator of ambition. They can still bring you joy and freedom off the clock.
Scorpio
October 23-November 21
Your philosophical understanding of the world may be deepened today as you finally find the words to describe some of the emotional background noise you have long taken for granted. Though this discovery might initially be an exciting one, it could turn depressing if the result is a sudden, unavoidable understanding that there’s a lack of nurturing in your life. Still, identifying the problem is the first step to solving it, and experiencing even difficult feelings could be the key to unlocking your passion.
Sagittarius
November 22-December 21
Deep insights can come to you today as you contemplate the mysteries of existence. Don’t be too disappointed if you try to communicate your findings to the people around you, yet they don’t seem to understand what is so clear in your own mind or why it is important. You may be better off thinking over your big ideas alone for now. Work to incorporate them into your larger view of the world, and as you do so, the details could become more solid.
Capricorn
December 22-January 19
You might take pride in your ability to build relationships within your community, but you could start to get the impression that people only want to be around you for what you can give them financially. Before you open your wallet to anyone else in the group, make sure that they currently have skin in the game too. You can see the value in a commitment that is truly shared, but feeling like everything is all on you will likely breed resentment.
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
Immersing yourself in the day-to-day details of your work may help you give voice to your larger ambitions, as you gain clarity on what you really have a talent for. The answer could surprise you, and it might even challenge how you see yourself. Asking someone you trust for their perspective may be helpful. Your surprise might turn out to be something that you were the last to know, as sometimes the things you take for granted stand out as remarkable to others.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
Loose dreams of fitting more exploration and adventure into your life could get more detailed today. You may be more able than usual to express what would really make your heart sing — even if the thought of actually doing anything is still overwhelming. While it could be hard to pin down exactly what’s holding you back, try taking the first practical steps toward whatever you are considering. That could at least show you what you need to resolve to move further.
