Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, July 8, 2008

Moon Alert

Avoid shopping or making important decisions for a brief time from 12:15 p.m. until 1:45 p.m. EDT today. After that the Moon moves from Virgo into Libra.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's easy to go overboard making plans connected with real estate, home and domestic matters today. Perhaps you will go out on a limb promising too much to a family member? (Think teenager.) That's the downside. The upside is family vibes are happy. Entertain at home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Be careful you don't promise more than you can deliver, especially dealing with siblings, neighbours and relatives today. That aside, you feel enthusiastic, positive, buoyant and happy about everything. Guard against trying to do too much. Be careful you don't overbook.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

This is a wonderful day for financial transactions, business and commerce. Just be careful that you don't put too optimistic an outlook on something. But you certainly are encouraged about your finances in some way. "I'm in the muuneee!" Don't bet the farm.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You might be swaggering a little bit today. You feel confident and cocky. Things are going your way, which makes you unusually cheerful and optimistic. Naturally, people enjoy your company, especially partners, close friends and loved ones. "Seconds on dessert, anyone?"

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

For a variety of reasons, you're more in touch with your spiritual life and your inner, soft heart at this time. Not only are you interested in philosophical notions about how to live right or live better, you're interested in expressing these ideas in a practical way in your everyday life. "I'm going to pick up the clothes in my bedroom."

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

All group activities are favoured today. You're definitely in a hey nonny nonny mood. Classes, conferences, conventions, meetings and casual get-togethers will be positive, upbeat experiences. However, don't commit to something if you think it's a little bit too much. (You'll be tempted to do this.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Things are looking rosy! Because of this you feel confident about the success of things, especially now and in the immediate future. Hopefully, this confidence is justified. However, don't bite off more than you can chew when talking to parents, bosses and VIPs. (Not today.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Higher education, medicine and the law look extremely promising. This same rosy optimism applies to publishing and the media. It looks like that book will be a success. Travel plans are also thrilling. "You mean we're going to Paris?" (So what if you studied Spanish all winter!)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Issues about shared property, jointly held resources, inheritances, debt, insurance matters and all kinds of red-tape stuff could be coming to a head now. Perhaps you can wrap things up? Just don't give away the store.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Don't go out on a limb in discussions with partners and close friends. You might be tempted to overindulge in luxuries or be more wasteful than you care to be. (You always try not to be wasteful.) However, you could get carried away with somebody else's enthusiasm. Nevertheless, this is a fun, happy day.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This can be a positive, successful day at work for you. You feel good physically and mentally. Perhaps you're finally wrapping something up on the job? Don't let others pressure you into agreeing to unreasonable deadlines or taking on more than you can handle.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is a party day! All kinds of fun activities will be a positive experience: sports, playful activities with children, social events, movies, the theatre, artistic excursions, and - wait for it - anything to do with love and romance. (Be still my beating heart.) You rock!

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Kevin Bacon (1958) shares your birthday today. You're a lovely combination of idealism and charm plus practical commonsense. You're hard-working. (Perfect to be stranded on a desert island with.) Not only can you make things happen, you keep them running. In your mid-teens, you become quite flamboyant. Late in life, relationships are vital. Learn something important now because the next year is a power year!
