General Daily Insight for July 13, 2024

To be polite or honest? With the gentle Moon supporting the communicative Mercury, we’re able to talk about our feelings and extend empathy to the people around us. Still, once the Moon snaps at the proud Sun at 6:49 pm EDT, our egos struggle against our hearts and make it hard to keep being true to ourselves. The Moon then faces off with sore Chiron, pushing us to avoid healing, because it may force us to stand alone. Try to balance safety with growth.

Aries

March 21 – April 19

You might want to talk about the fun side of life rather than the serious side. Maybe when other people bring up a topic that isn’t as positive or upbeat as you’d like the conversation to be, you’ll jump in to steer the conversation back to more uplifting subjects. This may not be where the other person or group of people are emotionally! It could be insensitive to encourage them to smile, so make an effort to listen before cutting anyone off.

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

Your empathy may hinder your ability to do what’s right for you. When a loved one asks you to drop everything to be there for them, saying no can be difficult. Remind yourself that it would be more difficult to handle their struggles and your own, especially if they aren’t showing up for you the way they’re asking you to do for them. You might come across as selfish, but you deserve to focus on yourself when necessary. Be honest about your current capacity.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

Talking about what you’re feeling may come across as less serious to others because of your delivery. You might feel the need to wrap your emotions in jokes to have them accepted by the people you’re expressing them to. Think twice — it could be having the opposite effect, potentially leading people to think that you don’t feel very intensely about what you’re going through because you’re able to laugh about it. It’s okay to talk about your feelings with some gravitas.

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

What you say could start a chain reaction without warning. If you’re talking about what you want to happen, what you want to see appear in your life, or people that you want to impress, then you’re on the right track. On the other hand, if your mind is on your fears and worries, then you’re at risk of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy for these problems you’d rather avoid. Put the focus on what you want to manifest, not what you don’t.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

People will respond to you the way you respond to them. While you might feel that you must express yourself emphatically to tell your side of the story, it’s a good idea to hold back somewhat. Your perspective could be too narrow, as you may have forgotten to account for an alternate point of view. As reasonable as your ideas are in a vacuum, they could still accidentally dismiss someone’s real-life struggles. Make an effort to avoid placing specific blame, and build a bridge instead.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

Negative mindsets may trap you in a stagnant situation. Self-sabotage could be an ongoing obstacle at present. You’re standing at the door of a situation that you know you want to be a part of, but anxiety contends that you should reject it in order to protect yourself. Perhaps you’re tempted to reject the opportunity before it potentially rejects you. Don’t end your journey before it even begins! If you don’t try, you’ll never know how awesome the results could have been.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Not everyone is going to like you, Libra — and that’s okay! You likely have a group of friends that support you and know the real you, but take a look at your wider social sphere. There may be something about your reputation or your public persona that’s rubbing you the wrong way, especially if some acquaintances have developed the wrong idea about your philosophies. Avoid going along with their misconceptions to keep the peace. In the long run, it’ll be healthier to be genuine.

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Uncertainty may trap you in endless preparation. You might want to travel or further your education. While those are valuable, your motivations for doing so matter. It’s possible that you’re concerned about your readiness to enter the next phase of your career or life in general, so you put it off with other things that seem productive. You’re probably much readier than you’d think! Your worries about experience or intelligence may melt away with time and experience. Learning by doing will show you irreplicable insights.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

Anything worth doing is worth failing. There might be several options available at this time. Even when you’re certain that any of these openings could lead to your dreams, the fear of embarrassment might be holding you back from really going for it. Some aspects of your ambitions may require you to put a lot on the line. Worrying about losing valuable resources is understandable, but missing out might be a bigger loss in the end. You may fall, but you also might fly!

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

A mentor might confide in you. Someone who always looked strong and on top of their game may seem as if they are lowering their defenses to show you their true self, which can be surprising if you’ve typically seen them as practically infallible. Remember — there is strength in their honesty about their inner emotions, not weakness. Pay attention to the example that they’re setting at this time, and know that acknowledging and sharing your feelings is the first step to healing.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

You’re learning more about the inner lives of others. This could be connected to multiple people in your life, as one peer may open up to you about their appreciation of your friendship, while another person might confront you or make you aware of hurt feelings that they have regarding a conversation that you had in the recent past. Positive or negative, it will probably be a vulnerable conversation. Do your best to navigate these chats with sensitivity, even if they feel like emotional whiplash.

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Routine can construct a space for healing past hurts. You may be struggling with chaos in your life due to a recent frustration, making it even harder to find the motivation to get your life back on track. The more that you allow beneficial habits and your sense of stability to unconsciously drift away from you, the more that you’re accidentally allowing the world’s ruckus to take over your home, your health, and even your mindset. Stop the snowballing in its tracks.
