Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, July 29, 2003

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear today to shop and make important decisions.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You've had enough frustration and self-denial for a while. Furthermore, why can't you get credit for anything you do lately? This is for the birds. It's probably best to work alone as much as possible. Retrograde Mars is driving you nuts now. (Mars is your ruler.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might want to think about formulating old goals or going back to something. There's nothing wrong with this. If you change your goals a retreat can become an advance. You don't want to be pressured by the group; and yet, physical activity with friends is a good option now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are really hot to achieve stuff now. In fact, you might find that as of today, your energy focuses on past objectives or something you wanted to do a little while ago. Be diplomatic with co-workers. You're so gung ho now -- others could be threatened by your intense energy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You want to do creative, intellectual work. You might go back and finish something connected with higher education, publishing, religion, the law or anything related to travel and foreign countries. Romance with someone from a different culture is also likely. (Hmm.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You've got sex on the brain lately. Not quite literally, but you know what I mean. (And you know you are.) You want something wild, intense and transforming. Stuff that makes exciting diary entries. (You have to plan for what you're going to read when you're pushing 90.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Mars has turned retrograde directly opposite your sign. This mean that you will want to finish old business with a close friend or partner. Naturally, you should try to avoid unnecessary conflicts. Nevertheless, you are ready to air your grievances. (In alphabetical order.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Although you're prepared to work hard now, you might find it hard to get credit for what you do. Or to be able to call your own shots. This is not the time to be a team player. (Far better that you work alone on certain projects.) Although, you probably have to help someone now.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Retrograde Mars can make you bossy and frustrated with children, which in turn, sets up conflict with them. Notice that this source seems to actually be coming from you? (Yes, I know those kids are being impossible.) But anger comes from within -- not without.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Retrograde Mars indicates that there's a lot of activity taking place within your family dynamic or where you live. There might be domestic strife and tension; there might also be major renovations taking place. Whatever happens -- you find it a bit challenging living with others now.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You really have good strong energy now for vigorous mental work. Because your mind is especially sharp and energetic, you can work longer than usual at intellectual tasks. Naturally, you identify strongly with your ideas now as well. (Slowly, slowly.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

It's easy for you to get into disputes with others about abstract values now. This is all about retrograde Mars. Is it really worth it? After all, you value your friendships. You don't have to prove anything. We know that you're born 50 years ahead of your time, and you're the lead dog.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your physical energy is high now with fiery Mars (holding with five more months to go) in your sign. Because of this, you need to get physical exercise to blow off the pent-up energy building up within you. If you don't, it will eke out anyway as frustration and anger. (Not good.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

TV journalist Peter Jennings (b. 1938) shares your birthday. You are intelligent and observant. You easily see the big picture, and this is why you make pungent observations and conclusions about life. You are very loyal to what you believe in. Enormous and exciting changes take place for you this year.
