Daily Horoscope for Friday, July 30, 2004

Moon Alert

Caution: avoid shopping or making important decisions from 7:15 a.m. until midnight EDT today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

About 14 --15 years ago, you felt pretty confident about what you were doing. In the next few years, you'll discover another path that generates this same kind of confidence within you. (Or maybe you won't. Maybe you'll just watch a lot of TV. There's always that.)

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

If 1999 was a turning point in generating a new identity for yourself, you'll find that the next two years are also a turning point in establishing a secure base for yourself in the world (in terms of home, family and real estate.) You gotta do it. It's staring you in the face.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is just a reminder to let you know that any real estate deal you pull off this year, will not only bring you future joy and profits, it will pleasantly expand your world in some way. This window of opportunity comes only once every 12 years. Act now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might feel increasing anxiety or tension about money or shared possessions today. That's because these issues come to a peak by tomorrow's Full Moon. (Which, incidentally, is going to be a Blue Moon, because it's the second Full Moon in the month of July.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You can't avoid feeling a bit tense dealing with partners and close friends today. Tomorrow's Full Moon opposes your sign. Problems always intensify just before a Full Moon. Fortunately, they tend to diminish after the Full Moon peaks.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Coworkers might be a bit touchy today. Perhaps you are too. If so, chalk it up to a buildup of tension before tomorrow's Full Moon. It's going to be a Blue Moon i.e. the second Full Moon in the month of July. This could herald some unusual breakthrough connected with your job.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Parents should be extra vigilant with children. Tomorrow's Full Moon brings added stress to this area of your life. Slow down and take it easy. Don't push the river. Children feel a buildup of excitement before the Full Moon as well. Try to create more time with them.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Tomorrow's Full Moon is in a fixed sign. (Sun in Leo, Moon in Aquarius.) The other fixed signs are Scorpio and Taurus. This means that this entire dynamic takes place at 90-degree angles to you, which in turn means it's a more stressful Full Moon than usual. Go gently.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Unlike Scorpio, you'll find this Full Moon quite easy. Nevertheless, you might feel restless and bit tense today as the Full Moon starts to peak by tomorrow. Take extra precautions driving and walking. Think twice before you speak out about religious and political matters.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might feel increasingly concerned about money or about buying something. That's because a tension that builds up before tomorrow's Full Moon seems to focus on financial matters for your sign. The good news is this tension is simply temporary. It lessens as the Moon wanes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with partners and close friends might be difficult today. That's because people feel tense before tomorrow's Full Moon. But the icing on the cake is this: the Full Moon tomorrow is in your sign! And it's a Blue Moon -- the second Full Moon in the same month.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You're trying to get so much done now, you're driving yourself to meet a certain schedule or deadline. Why not lighten up a bit? People feel tense today because the Full Moon is almost upon us. It's good to know when to work, and when to relax.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Lisa Kudrow (1963) shares your birthday. You're very physical in your approach to life. People sense your presence. You're solid, earthy and very sensuous. You're aware of your physical needs; and you're very concerned with the here and now. The year ahead is full of surprising new beginnings and that teach you on a completely new path.
