Daily Horoscope for July 02, 2025
Our emotions can flare when our egos are tested. With the intuitive Moon clashing against expansive Jupiter, instinctive responses are amplified, and it's harder to be objective. The Moon then works together with communicative Mercury to help us talk through our feelings — making an effort to find common ground is important. Finally, the Moon struggles with the self-focused Sun at 3:30 pm EDT, complicating the process of building peace through hurt pride or inflated self-importance. We ought to make healing and compassion our top priorities.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
You may be more irritable when it comes to your peace being disturbed. You might have plans for today, ones that involve you taking a rest or spending time in a comfortable setting, but sudden invitations or demands could jolt you out of your restful mindset. It can be stressful to try and pivot so suddenly, and it's perfectly acceptable to say that you're too tired or have already made plans for the day. Treat yourself with the kindness you would show to others.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
You might be tempted to make promises that are hard to fulfill. There may be a lot already on your plate, and yet someone asks you to add more! You're someone who wants to make the world a better place, and a lot more time and energy may be available to you theoretically than in reality. It's important to know your limits and to be honest with those who ask for assistance. If you can, call for a rain check on any excess duties.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
It might be difficult to hear what others are saying. You could have so much that you want to say that you struggle to let others express themselves back to you. With countless complexities on your mind, it's important to remind yourself that there are, at minimum, two sides to every conversation. Without hearing someone else's side, you don't really know what's in their head. Show that you care by letting them speak up and actively listening to what they have to say.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Guarding your heart can lead to pushing people away. While you might want to protect yourself with whatever means you have available to you, that can abruptly turn into putting up emotional walls that no one can scale. There are people who want to get to know you and share their lives with you, so it's wise to ensure that it's possible to access you by joining clubs or even having a party. You have to be a friend to make a friend.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
Words may wound your pride. You may feel like you must be moving through life in the 'right' way, which makes you more inclined to be defensive against recent criticism. It can feel more personal when you strive to show up as your best self, only to be met with critique that you weren't seeking out. The more that you're able to see other people's comments as a reflection of themselves rather than a reflection of you, the more success you should have today.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
The successes of others may tempt insecurity relating to your own achievements. Normally, you might not be focused on competition with others, content to mind your business. In contrast, today you may see people summit certain milestones or achievements that are presently out of your reach. Even the most content person can feel a pang of jealousy at times, but don't let the green-eyed monster take over! Allow the feeling to pass through you, then congratulate them as you would hope they'd congratulate you.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
You could be tempted to give up on something personally valuable in pursuit of your aims. You may discover a path stretching ahead, leading toward a goal that you want to fulfill. The catch is that this path asks you to sacrifice something that's important to you in order to move forward. This may be something like compromising your beliefs or climbing over someone else to go up the corporate ladder. Don't sacrifice who you are to fulfill your dreams. There will be another way!
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
You don't know what you have until it's gone. Maybe you realize that there's a skill that you're in the process of losing without practice, a person that you are no longer able to contact, or something else that you didn't realize was gone until you checked for it. These are not necessarily permanent changes, but recognizing that these shifts took place and sitting with what that means for you should help you better understand yourself and the changes around you.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Don't take yourself out of the race before it starts! You might find that you're struggling more with self-doubt and negativity at present, even though others are cheering you on. Perhaps you're even actively preparing to take on a new endeavor throughout your day. This could spur on some impostor syndrome within you, making it difficult to see your worth through all of the internal doubt. Remember who you are and what it took to get here. Don't give up yet!
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
It can be hard to see someone else through their reputation. They may have rubbed you the wrong way in their first impression, or maybe someone told you a rumor about them. You might have already written them off in a sense, having decided that you know enough about them and don't want to go any further. However, they could show a side of themselves today that leads you to reevaluate the way you saw them initially. Don't judge a book by its cover.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Letting your ego do the decision-making might be a mistake. Your pride could lead you to react rashly when irritated or confronted by someone in your midst. This person may not have your best intentions in mind, so avoid taking the bait and giving them the satisfaction of a reaction from you. Being right or wrong is not necessarily the objective that they have when they approach you — they may want you to make a spectacle of yourself. Prove that you're bigger than that!
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
You may be tempted to push your luck. You might feel as though you can do no wrong or that your luck cannot run out today, but it's important to know when to walk away. Struggling to keep going past your limits, or having no limits at all, may lead to regretting your decisions in the near future. Make an effort to ensure that you're not caught up in the heat of the moment before you make a decision that you can't take back.

Woman Refuses to Move into Boyfriend's Apartment Because He Still Has Handwritten Notes From His Ex on the Fridge
A woman on Reddit is wondering if she's overreacting for no longer wanting to move in with her boyfriend because his apartment still has handwritten notes from his ex-girlfriend Though the user suggested they look for a new place together, he claims he can't afford to move and insists she's "reading too much into it" Other Reddit users agree that the personal items from his last relationship are a red flag and she shouldn't move in with himA woman on Reddit is rethinking her decision to move in with her boyfriend after taking a good look at his apartment. In a post on Reddit's r/AmIOverreacting, the user explains that she and her boyfriend, "Leo," have been together for just over a year and are considering taking the next step in their relationship together. "He recently asked me to move in. We've talked about it before, but now that it's real, I'm hesitating and it's mostly because of his place," she explains. According to the user, his apartment is still decorated with remnants of his last relationship, which makes her a bit uncomfortable. "He still lives in the apartment he used to share with his ex. They lived there for over three years, and it shows," she writes. "The furniture, the art on the walls, the tiny post-it notes still on the fridge with her handwriting… it's like she never really left." She's tried to approach the subject with her partner, who brushes off her concerns as her "reading too much into it." He claims he "just hasn't bothered to redecorate and that none of it 'means anything.' " "It feels like I'd be walking into a space that was never made for me, just trying to squeeze myself in," she explains. "I offered to look for a new place together. He says we can't afford it right now, and that I should be more flexible." Though the poster wonders if she's being "sensitive," other users are firmly in agreement with her, noting that it's odd he still has personal items, such as handwritten notes, around the apartment. "Furniture is one thing that s--- is expensive to replace but the art and hand written notes??? it definitely means something to him," one user chimed in. Another user noted that the boyfriend "needs to de-ex" the apartment "so there's nothing personal left from when he was with her." "I get that furniture may not change - a new bed would be nice - but artwork and knick-knacks can definitely be personal to you rather than to her," they wrote. "And there should be absolutely nothing with her handwriting on." Read the original article on People

When my boyfriend and I blended our families and traditions, we realized we needed to form new traditions, too
When my boyfriend and I blended our families we made sure to honor past traditions. We soon realized that it was important for our new family to create our own traditions. New traditions like s'mores nights have helped bring our family together. The morning my boyfriend and I met for our first coffee date, we both knew there was something special between us. We spoke the language of grief, of solo parents, of young widows who'd lost their forever person to cancer. We understood the hurdles inherent in opening your heart after loss and the way heartache and hope coexist in a single breath. We understood the unspoken things, and when we made the choice, last year, to blend our families, we understood the challenge we were undertaking. With the goal of building a family of six out of our respective families of three — two adults and four children, ranging in age from 3 to 15 — we blended the things we can see including furniture, kitchenware, bedtime routines, schedules. We also blended the things we can't see such as rules, values, and most importantly, traditions. Some of the traditions were easy to blend. Our sushi Fridays merged with their pizza Fridays and became an alternating schedule of pizza and sushi. Our weeknights watching dramedies morphed into starting the night with a round of Netflix cartoons before bedtime for the littlest kids. Other traditions — the ones that involve extended family and grief and four children who had to learn resilience too early — were harder. There's no way to be two different places at once on Thanksgiving. There's no way to decorate a Christmas tree with ornaments that belonged to their person while lighting a menorah that belonged to ours without unsettling the grief we've learned to co-exist with. When it comes to those traditions, we've had to accept that there won't be a perfect blend, there won't be a seamless way to shape two traditions into one. We've had to realize that we won't get it right on the first try, or even the second, and we've had to compromise, communicate, and forge a way that works for all of us. It turns out, blending traditions isn't enough to build a family from the ground up. Because the heart and soul of any family lives, often, in their traditions. In the way they celebrate birthdays and special occasions. The way they spend their Saturday mornings and Sunday nights. The way they build a life in the little things that hold the most meaning. To truly build a family that was uniquely ours, we needed to build our own traditions. Ones that were new to all six of us. Our traditions were small to start: s'mores on Friday nights, Saturday afternoons on the basketball court, weeknights dropping onto the couch to watch Wheel of Fortune — and it's hard to tell if we're on the right track. Should we have developed more traditions by now or are we right to hope the traditions will come on their own with time? Are we hitting the right balance of old and new or are we tipping the scales too far in one direction? The truth is I don't know, and for our untraditional family, our crew of six which is so intimately acquainted with grief, the answers to those questions don't matter. For us, the only thing that matters is that whatever tradition we're honoring—old or new, blended or not, on track or way off the deep end—we do it with an open heart and an eye toward building a family. A family that's not mine or theirs, but ours. Read the original article on Business Insider
