General Daily Insight for July 30, 2025
Scabs must be left alone to heal. The wounded healer Chiron enters its retrograde period in fiery Aries today, tempting us to reopen old wounds and potentially create deeper ones after a period of healing. As loving Venus enters protective Cancer at 11:57 pm EDT, we're reminded that people can't ruin what they don't know about. Only the most trusted and understanding people in our lives should be given the privilege of knowing our innermost selves. Don't risk going backward by oversharing.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Your nearest and dearest have an amazing capacity to help you heal. You may have things you don't like about yourself that you're trying to change, but look around you and ask who already loves you, despite your flaws? No one is perfect! Learning how to accept yourself as you are is crucial, as you must heal before attempting to 'upgrade' yourself. There's always going to be room to grow, but for your own mental health, let others love you as you are.
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Fear could be keeping you in the dark. Due to hypothetical bad reactions from others, you may be avoiding doing what's truly on your mind. This only keeps you from realizing your truth. Instead of requesting others' approval before you move forward, let them react however they choose to react after you've already taken action. Waiting for everyone to be onboard with your dreams may end up ensuring that they never come to fruition, so make your dreams happen for yourself.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Someone else could trigger memories of the past. They may not notice your sensitivity to the subject when they bring it up, while you might feel as though you're being emotionally transported into the past as they speak. It's important that you remain grounded and let them know when you're not comfortable discussing something. If they push the matter further, it's okay to move on — with or without them. The right person should understand and let it go without much effort.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Your past reputation may rear its head at any moment. You might have moved on from the past, whatever that means for you and your actions. Perhaps negative behavior meant that apologies were given and accepted on all sides. Regardless, someone may mention old issues, either out of ignorance, curiosity, or potentially malice. You're not that person anymore, even though you might have been once. You're allowed to acknowledge the past without having to embody it. Be who you are now.
Leo
July 23 – August 22
The grass is always greener on the road less traveled. When you don't seize an opportunity, it may linger in your mind for some time. Today, in particular, you're potentially pondering all the ideas whose time has already come and gone. Instead of picturing them as windows that will never open again, look into what you can do to bring similar energies into your current life. Wonderful chances are everywhere, even if they're not exactly the same. Don't miss them by focusing on the past.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Trusting the wrong person can leave emotional scars. You may be regretting letting the wrong person in, spiraling about the naivety in your history. The truth is, it's not on you for being trusting, it's on them for taking advantage of your faith. Continuing to have a kind heart and an open mind in the face of old wounds is the bravest thing you can do at this time. Remember, it's about who you want to be, not how other people react to you.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
Stepping into the spotlight on your own can be daunting. You may have thought that you were going to be taking this journey with someone else, but at some point, you'll probably have to step into your own power. Your companion might not be out of your life for good, but you could have to stand tall in their absence — something that you're completely capable of. Be strong now, so you can look back on this and remind yourself of what you're capable of.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Not everyone is going to treat you like that one person in your past. You may be looking for flaws in the people in your life, especially newcomers, in order to prevent another heartbreak. This doesn't have to have been a romantic relationship — friendships and professional connections can also cause grief. Trusting another person after being burned can be terrifying, but you'll never forge your true connections without continuing to try with an open heart. The right person will be worth the wait.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Taking risks isn't usually something your sign is known for, Sag, but even you might be nervous around unfamiliar ideas at the moment. You might be so afraid of repeating past mistakes that you're refusing to step outside of the lines again. Instead of forcing yourself to live the same day over and over again, branch out and see what's beyond your comfort zone. Life is there to be lived! Good and bad things will impact your days either way. Take a chance.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
You might be healing childhood wounds. When you carry baggage for years, it may seem impossible to set down — that's just not true. You deserve a chance to move unburdened. This could mean that you're telling your story to someone else who can relate to you or support your healing journey. You don't have to traverse this path alone, even if you've tried to in the past. The more that you focus on healing your inner child and regaining your spark, the better.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
Don't be your own worst enemy. Be wary of focusing on features that you hate about yourself, when, in reality, they may not even exist. Carrying a distorted view of yourself may lead others to share this view or even feel as though you are judging them, especially if they share the 'flaws' that you continually describe seeing in yourself. Speak with positive intentions and pay attention to how it affects you and others. It just might be the glow-up you crave!
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Security doesn't always equal happiness. You might have made the safe choice recently, but it may not turn out to be exactly what you wanted. Take some time to ponder the difference between feeling protected and feeling trapped, because it can be a difficult balance at times. Don't heed the temptation to throw it all away because you're starting to feel claustrophobic! Look into how you can inject some fun and freedom into your life without going overboard. You can stay safe without stagnating.
