Daily Horoscope for July 15, 2025
The flames of passion are rising. The emotional Moon faces off against fiery Mars at 12:16 am EDT, so we're a little more likely to jump to anger or impulsive action than usual. The upside to this alignment is the support it offers for defending ourselves and others — even when we don't feel so courageous. Plus, Luna later trines the confident Sun, restabilizing us as we patch up any hurt feelings or handle the consequences of acting without thinking. Be passionate, not rash.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Stress that comes from your everyday life might have your mind demanding a rest. The details could presently be getting under your skin, so take the first chance you get to step back and take in the big picture. The closer that you analyze anything, the greater the likelihood that you are going to see flaws. However, you may not realize that you've been staring at your daily life under such a microscope until you step away. Whatever you see, your best IS good enough.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Fighting your impulses will be a true battle today. Normally, your self-control is likely reliable enough to banish most temptations — not so much at the moment. Don't give in! To make the struggle more bearable, look for a pal you can trust to keep you honest. This person could be anyone. All that matters is their willingness to be your accountability partner and work together to reach your respective goals. Who knows, they may need someone to keep them honest as well.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your family, chosen or biological, knows how to push your buttons. A relative may now be driving you crazy, but your inner security is much more valuable than their jabs. If they were secure in themselves, they wouldn't be trying to get a reaction out of you! Knowing this should strengthen you to avoid giving them the satisfaction of getting said reaction. You know you're better than this — and so do they. Simple self-assuredness may shut them down better than anything else.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Words might mean a little extra today. What people say (and the way that they say it) may be more important to you than usual, as you could be painfully reactive to criticism or teasing. If you are feeling abnormally sensitive, it may be a good idea to let others know that you're not feeling like yourself today. They might be more willing than you'd expect to provide you with the support that you need — you just have to speak up for it.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Insecurities could creep out of the shadows. Imposter syndrome may lurk around every corner, even in subjects that you have been practicing for years. Perhaps someone led you to feel as though your contributions were less than theirs. Instead of getting hung up on what you possibly did wrong, remind yourself that it's your first time living. You're going to make mistakes at some point, even if you don't today, and they don't mean that you're a failure. Trust yourself to do your best.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
You could come across as more intense than you realize. Others might react to you in a way that you don't understand at first — that is, if you are unaware of how angry or headstrong you seem at this time. You're allowed to be passionate, of course, as long as you pay attention to your delivery. How you say something is often just as crucial as what you have to say. If they won't hear what you're saying, try saying it another way.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Fear of the unknown could be holding you back. You might be trying to make progress, but keep spinning your wheels, afraid to move forward all on your lonesome. There's a chance that you're actually surpassing your peers or family, leaving them unable to provide you with advice in this specific pursuit. Seeking out an experienced mentor who can guide you through your ideal game plan could be your true next step. This isn't a full retreat — it's a temporary regrouping.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
The people in your life could be coming on strong. Even if you're certain that they want to encourage you, their methods might end up being actively discouraging. Maybe they're trying to throw you in the water and thinking you'll learn how to swim, but in reality, you're struggling to keep your head above water. They could also be offering plenty of tough love when what you need is gentler support. If they don't provide it, you may need to collect your thoughts elsewhere.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Trying to grow up too fast would be the wrong move. You might be trying to get rid of everything in your life that is fun or exciting in order to mature as fast as possible, but you risk sending yourself back to the beginning by abandoning your past self. In particular, if someone in your life is pushing this transition upon you, acknowledge that this is their agenda, not yours. You deserve a life that works for you! Move at your own pace.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Others might see you as dogmatic at present. You might be trying to spread the word about a matter that is close to your heart, but the way that you're talking about it may sound like you're attempting to control the people around you. Even if the matter is urgent to you, take a few moments to consider how someone could feel as you hand out directions. You're probably their peer, not their boss, and you should talk to them as such.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
It's easy to go past your limits right now. Whether this means overspending and stretching the limits of your budget, or overworking yourself and ignoring the limits of your body and mind, make a point of pausing to recognize your limitations and adhere to them as best you can. Having these boundaries helps you stay healthy and safe — they're not there to restrict you or make you feel like you're boring. Be honest with yourself about how you respect your personal boundaries.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Someone close to you may mistakenly think they're in charge. While you might want to tell them that you have no interest in being controlled, it may be wiser to show them through your actions that you will not follow unreasonable commands. It could be hard to talk around their current mindset, so while you can state your intentions aloud, you can also prove that this person is unable to control you by not letting them order you around. It's your life, not theirs!

Your Tarot Card Reading for the Week of July 14
You don't need to know the difference between a three-card and a Celtic cross spread, to get the most out of a tarot card reading. All you need: your Sun sign! Here's what I do: Shuffle my tarot deck and pull out the cards in order from Aries to Pisces plus one general card for everyone so that you can get specific advice around your personality. Let's go! Two retrogrades this week (Saturn and Mercury) which does rather press the "pause" button on life. It's a good time to sit with what you have, rather than chasing what you don't. Review, reflect, reminisce. The Six of Pentacles brings wise advice to the table for dealing with phases that are quiet or a little flat: look around and do good deeds for others. Whose life can you light up, even a little? Who can you treat, compliment, surprise, uplift, help or support? Build up the good karma credit score this week and feel good about yourself in the process. You can choose to be a light for others this week, and it's something they won't forget. Aces are always invitations to something or other, and this one relates to the fundamentals of life: health, wealth, work, and home. This Ace also has steadfast, long-term, far-reaching, consistent energy. This is not an overnight upgrade or overhaul. This is not a flash in the pan project. This is about something that takes months to achieve, is extremely significant to you, and will require daily attention and investment. A new wellbeing practice, a career change and retraining, a change of home or even location, a financial overhaul and new system. You decide. You figure out what will make the biggest and best difference to your life, Aries, and you go for it. Taureans are not typically noted for loving the notion, experience, or outcome of change. You like to be constant, consistent, and in control. Well, sincere apols, but The Wheel of Fortune is heading your way this week anyway to shake things up. The best thing you can do is to push that wheel in an area that you wish were different, lean into the forces of transformation vs working against them. Expect the unexpected. Be flexible. Trust in the process. This IS all for the best. Don't judge the outcome until everything feels okay. It's been tough recently, a lot of challenge, loss, emotional upheaval, and obstacles. And, Gemini, I am going to applaud you because you have quietly, humbly, and gracefully tackled everything single thing thrown at you. This IS strength. The fortitude, courage, and determination to keep pressing on and smiling and making others feel good, even when your heart is breaking. Time to rest up. Time to heal. Time to look back and see the trajectory and the growth, and to let the changes sink in. You can make your own changes now, you're wiser and your outlook has shifted. What would you like to change about your life? The Universe will grant you three wishes! Resting is not indulgent or lazy, it's essential maintenance and requirements of being a human being on planet Earth! The Ten of Wands demands you take a rest week. Otherwise the specters of burn out and fatigue await, and they are not your allies. Step back from the busyness, stay home, eat well, hydrate, go to bed early (stop scrolling!), be mindful about what content you focus on and take in, gravitate to folk who comfort and uplift you. Give yourself and your nervous system a spa-like treatment by taking life slowly and mindfully. You will return firing on all cylinders next week. Your sign's season is inching closer and the prequel to it is revealed by the Four of Cups: express gratitude. You are already so wealthy in all the ways that truly count, Leo. Count your blessings, list them and celebrate them. Thank those who stand with and by you. Treat those you can't do without. Tell folk how you feel. Revel in the advantages, gifts, and privileges you find scattered throughout your realm. And when you do so, the Universe will like the sound of your appreciation and prepare to bring you more goodies, just in time for Leo season. Virgo, The Hermit is your sign's tarot card, as well as being the numerological symbol of this year (2+0+2+5=9 – The Hermit tarot card). I'm going to put all of that together to predict that this is going to be THE week of 2025 for you. Something is afoot! I don't think it's an external event or impact, it's something that actually comes up and out of your own experience, reflection, and research. You invent a new outlook or insight that changes the game and may well lead to an ending, a change of the guard, a renewal. What's no longer serving you will leave and what's ready to serve you well will enter. Let this unfold. You're a super smart Air sign, you're ruled by blissful and kind Venus, and your symbol is the scale representing fairness, balance, and harmony. You are great company, a wise counsellor, and a true source of love and compassion for many folk. The King of Cups has you firmly in this mode this week- offering a shoulder to cry on, an ear to listen, and a helping hand. Do good for those in your circle and feel the love, feel the appreciation, and feel the true value of what you mean to other people. It's priceless. It's what remains when all the other noise has died down. Be the King of Cups this week and use all of your emotional intelligence. Emotions run deep in you, Scorpio, hidden under layers of protection and strategy. Yet they remain, and they also guide you, from deep in your core. Can you feel that? This week, the King of Swords gives you the power, self belief, and courage to travel deep, deep down into your core state and uncover the emotions that are currently directing your behavior. What feelings are in play? How do they translate into motivations? What have these motivations led you to doing? The King of Swords will help you make sense of the maelstrom and bring clarity to the chaos. And, from there, you can direct your life with your head AND your heart. I think Sagittarians are THE most competitive star sign- even more so than Aries or Capricorn or Leo. There, I said it! So, the Seven of Wands is a card that suits this vibe as it invites challenge, targets, rivalry, and competition into your realm. Only stuff that is fun, mind you, nothing overwhelming or defeatist. These are games you can win and, as established, you LOVE winning. Reposition your challenges and difficulties this week as games and goals. See the play in thew strategy to win, set yourself rewards and milestones. Presented as a challenge, you will rise to the occasion and blast everyone out the water! As it should be. Cap, don't be sad. Don't dwell on the things you feel you've lost or been hard done by recently. Chalk them up to experience, extract a lesson, release the anger or grief by expressing it and getting it out into the cold light of day (rather than circling around in your mind). The Five of Pentacles reminds you that you're not alone, this too shall pass, and there's a new dawn ahead. Prepare for it by clearing the decks, physically and mentally, of the old, broken, cluttered, or dysfunctional 'stuff' that weighs you down and reminds you of setbacks and hardships. New space. New outlook. New opportunity. It all lies ahead, the best IS yet to come. The Star is your sign's tarot card and makes you a lucky sign! It represents your truth, purity, and progressive mind, always seeking the next level and making improvements, always working for a greater good. It also grants you wishes on occasion, and THIS WEEK is one of those occasions. Are you ready? Make a wish. Visualize it and breathe life into it. Believe in this dream. Make overt, small steps towards it every day this week. And expect the unexpected. Say this affirmation for added acceleration: 'I was made for miracles. I claim my wish with faith and fire.' I wish you luck and I hope you get everything you wish for! Permission to experiment and try out lots of new things and ideas this week with absolutely ZERO expectation or pressure. Don't aim for outcomes, aim to have an experience and learn something, positive or negative, it all has equal value. The Page of Wands has childlike glee and wonder at everything in the world and simply wants to try, see, taste, feel, explore it all. Be childlike and let your curiosity lead you to new ways and means of doing things. Don't tell anyone about this, just do your own secret tests and experiments, review the results, and then adopt what worked well. No one has to even see or hear about the failures!
