Today's horoscope for July 29 as Aquarius is told to re-evaluate connections with those they care about
It's Tuesday, July 29, and one star sign has been told to re-evaluate connections with those they care about.
There are 12 zodiac signs - Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and Pisces - and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more.
These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here's what today could bring for your horoscope - and what you can do to be prepared.
Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 20)
It's best to maintain your composure and avoid unnecessary disturbances. With so many people around you and that includes family, colleagues and even your superiors, you might find it hard to manage your emotions. Take a little time to gather yourself and find your balance in the middle of all the chaos.
Taurus (Apr 21 - May 21)
Almost from the start this day will present you with some interesting options. This is your opportunity to turn your long-held dreams into reality. It's a time to forge new friendships and establish valuable business connections. By seeking support from others, you can unlock your full potential.
Gemini (May 22 - June 21)
Nostalgic memories of past loves linger in your mind. A small reminder or an unexpected event may trigger those feelings. In that moment, your heart could erupt with the intensity of old passions. The choice is yours but just think: what if someone you are attracted to is quietly hoping for your affection?
Cancer (June 22 - July 23)
What can you do to nourish your spirit? Do you feel distant from ambitions and aspirations you set for yourself some time ago? Is a goal that once was important, not so exciting now? You don't have to solve this problem immediately. Instead, enjoy life, cherish moments with friends and seize every opportunity to have some fun.
Leo (July 24 - Aug 23)
You've always been good at playing the right part in different circumstances. Today, let go of all your masks and roles and truly be yourself. Give yourself permission to do this as you will be responding to what your soul desires. If there are jobs you aren't in the mood for, remember, they can wait.
Virgo (Aug 24 - Sept 23)
Exercise caution when discussing personal matters, as revealing sensitive information about loved ones can happen unintentionally. While being open in conversations is a commendable trait, be careful so as to avoid accidentally disclosing something private.
Libra (Sept 24 - Oct 23)
Don't overlook the help and support that's available from your colleagues. Right now it might feel like career challenges are overwhelming but why try to face everything on your own when you can seek guidance from those with more expertise?
Scorpio (Oct 24 - Nov 22)
After an incident this morning you will realise the need to reflect on whether you are fully committed to your career and business. You have great potential, yet you are only utilising a fraction of it. Conquer your reluctance to step forward. Take decisive action.
Sagittarius (Nov 23 - Dec 21)
Choices to do with money may be limited or influenced more by aspirations than by actual circumstances. To address this, defer financial decisions and postpone making big expenditures. Exercise prudence. Today is not an ideal time to decide on anything important or to start major projects.
Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 20)
There are a number of options available that could help you raise capital swiftly and effortlessly. Even so, it might be a better idea to leave it to those who have a good understanding of the subject. Don't hesitate to consult with friends and family today, as not every brilliant idea you have may be viable.
Aquarius (Jan 21 - Feb 19)
Re-evaluate your connections with those you care about. Take a little time to observe your surroundings. You might notice there are a few people you have been hesitant to let in for various reasons. Yet on deeper reflection, these are the ones who have turned out to be some of your most trustworthy friends.
Pisces (Feb 20 - Mar 20)
If you experience mild discomfort, take it seriously. Avoid self-medication and consult a doctor for proper guidance. The primary cause of your condition may be prolonged work stress. It is time to consider taking a short break and delegating your responsibilities.

Boy injured in rare octopus incident at Texas aquarium
An octopus at the San Antonio Aquarium left a six-year-old boy with 'hickeys' covering his arm after the child reached into a touch tank, and the sea animal wouldn't let go. The boy's mom, Britney Taryn, has gone viral in a series of TikToks – two of which have garnered over 3 million views – after sharing how a giant Pacific octopus named Cthulhu latched onto her son Leo's arm during their July 14 visit. She said they visit often and had touched the octopus before without incident. Taryn shared glimpses of Leo's arm, decorated with dark purple solution cup bruises from his wrist to his armpit. "He started saying, 'Mom, it's not letting me go,'" Taryn said in one video, adding that it took three adults to remove the animals from the youngster's arm. The San Antonio Aquarium responded indirectly to the incident by posting two videos shortly after Taryn's posts gained popularity. In a TikTok on July 23, an aquarium employee explained that giant Pacific Octopuses have been known to use their suction cups to move objects up to 700 pounds. 'If you look around, this whole tank is open, okay?' the employee said of Cthulhu's larger-than-recommended 1,000-gallon tank. 'A lot of times you will go to an aquarium and it will be completely enclosed, and it's enclosed because these guys are expert problem solvers, and they're known to escape.' 'We have never had an octopus escape,' she claimed. 'We make them very, very happy. They have a lot of toys, enrichment, and problem-solving activities. We also give them a very mixed diet, a nutritious diet, and they realize that this is a great place.' The video ends with Cthulhu giving the employee some 'tough love' by latching onto her arm. The adult was able to remove the 'very strong' animal by herself, but Taryn was less than impressed by the clip. 'Now, imagine that that is a six-year-old,' she said in response. The aquarium posted another TikTok with Cthulhu and the employee last week, where she shares that octopus bruises aren't harmful and typically fade within seven to 14 days. She said giant Pacific Octopuses have around 200 suction cups per arm. 'She loves people, so she gets so excited sometimes, especially if it's food time, and she's trying to pry open my hand to get the shrimp,' the employee said, holding the crustacean. 'She's so intelligent. She has this giant beak. She could bite me if she really wanted to. I'm not her food source, but this is her food source, and she has a great time trying to get a hold of it. 'So with that, all this suction motion sometimes will create hickeys. We call them octopus kisses, but they're bruises, and it's basically where red blood comes up to the surface of your skin. She's not trying to be harmful in any manner.' The employee concluded, 'Suction marks are actually common and normal for strong, inquisitive animals like her. I promise it's not a cosmic cry for help.' Taryn's videos have sparked debate about the safety of kids interacting with animals like octopuses. While she hasn't called the incident an attack and has since revisited the octopus with Leo, she said they were never warned about potential risks. She's using social media to caution others and advocate for better animal care. Taryn has asked the San Antonio Aquarium to document the incident and explain their safety protocols, but says she hasn't received a response.

Teenager who inspired Princess of Wales ‘wouldn't want us to cry' on her 18th birthday
A teenage photographer who inspired the Princess of Wales 'wouldn't want us to sit crying' on what would have been her 18th birthday, her mother has said. Victoria Robayna said her late daughter, Liz Hatton, will be celebrated throughout August with a month-long marathon organised by her younger brother Mateo. Liz, from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, died nine months ago aged 17 after battling desmoplastic small round cell tumour, a rare and aggressive form of cancer with no standard path of treatment. She had been invited to privately meet the Prince and Princess of Wales in October last year after photographing an investiture in Windsor Castle as part of the fulfilment of her bucket list of dreams. The Royals paid tribute to the young photographer after she died, saying in a statement signed off by 'W&C' that it was 'an honour to have met such a brave and humble young woman'. Speaking ahead of what would have been her daughter's milestone birthday on August 31, Ms Robayna said: 'We have two choices on Liz's birthday, one is to sit and cry about what might have been – what should have been. 'The other is to celebrate Liz, her incredible work and everything she stood for. We know which one Liz would have told us to do. And it definitely would not have been to sit crying.' Instead, the family have organised a fundraising mission through their new charity Capture, which was set up to make a difference to the palliative care of others diagnosed with the same cancer Liz suffered from. Titled Marathon Your Way In A Month, the latest fundraising drive will see those who sign up cover 26 miles over the month of August in any way they choose. Mateo, Liz's younger brother, will complete his challenge in a triathlon format, splitting the miles between swimming, cycling and running, while others have chosen to simply walk the distance. Ms Robayna said the idea came about from one of Capture's trustees and that Liz would have approved. 'She always believed in people being able to express their individuality and this seemed like the perfect way to do it,' she explained. It also offers the family, including Liz's stepfather Aaron, a welcome distraction from the milestone that August represents. Ms Robayna added: 'We knew we would find this month leading up to her birthday hard. Having something to focus on that gets us out there living – just as Liz did – will hopefully make it an easier month than it would otherwise have been.' It marks Capture's first international challenge and already 60 people have signed up to take part, including one of Liz's nurses from London and an American who has pledged to complete the miles on both sides of the Atlantic. ' Every single penny raised from the challenge will go towards our latest research project focusing on what young people with cancers that have less than a 15 per cent chance of survival want or need out of palliative care,' Ms Robayna explained. 'Liz's biggest legacy was one of being determined to live her life to the full right until the very end of her life,' she added. 'Raising funds for research into palliative care which will allow others to have the same choices would mean the world to her. 'We are determined to continue to show others that palliative care can be about living not dying.' Liz was a keen photographer and began a photography bucket list appeal in January 2024 after being given between six months and three years to live. In the last months of her life, she fulfilled the majority of her list, including photographing a West End show, hosting a photo shoot of professional models, having her own photography exhibition and meeting leaders in the field, including Rankin. She previously told The Telegraph of the inspiration behind her bucket list journey: 'I want my siblings in particular to know that there's always a bright side, you don't have to sit and be miserable. 'Because I don't want the people I love to sit and be miserable when I'm gone, I want them to look on the bright side and still be able to smile in darkness.'
