Daily Horoscope for Monday, July 13, 2009

Moon Alert

avoid shopping or making important decisions from 4 a.m. until 11 a.m. EDT today. After that the Moon moves from Pisces into Aries.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Family discussions are lively because you're putting a lot of yourself into what you have to say today. (At least, the top half of your body.) This makes you highly persuasive! Allow room for others to have their input, and then convince them to follow your plan.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You can sell snow to the Eskimos today. You're extremely convincing because both Mercury and the Sun are lined up in your area of communications with others. Discussions with relatives and siblings will be dynamic and lively! You want to enlighten somebody about something today.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You're full of moneymaking ideas! Don't hesitate to make your suggestions at work. All your dealings with business and commerce will likely be positive and successful. Similarly, if you're shopping or buying something, you'll know how to swing a deal.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Both Mercury and the Sun are in your sign today, and they're totally lined up. This means your inner energy is easily expressed in whatever you have to say. Furthermore, because others can sense this, they'll think twice before they ignore you or dismiss your wishes.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a marvelous day for research of any kind. You have the energy to dig deep and find the answers you're looking for. It's easy to work alone or work behind the scenes if you choose to do so. Investigative work will be successful. (Great for the gumshoe crowd.) "Do Hush Puppies count?"

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Get out and schmooze with others today. Talk to friends, or people you know in groups, clubs and organizations. In particular, talk to them about your dreams and hopes for the future. You'll be surprised how helpful their feedback might be. (Or not.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Great day to talk to bosses and authority figures in your life (parents, teachers, VIPs and the police.) People are impressed with what you say; and you yourself will be impressed with what comes out of your mouth! You really sound like you know what you're talking about. You're clear, direct and forceful.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You'll enjoy any opportunity to travel or learn something new and different today. Discussions about religion, philosophy, metaphysics and other cultures will intrigue you. You might meet people from other lands or distant places. You're open to new ideas and fresh thinking!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Now is the time to settle disputes about shared property, insurance matters, inheritances, debt and anything you hold jointly with someone. You'll be surprised at how easily things seem to go your way. (That's because you are successful in getting what you want today.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Conversations with partners and close friends are pretty dead on today. You mean what you say and you say what you mean, and so will they! Nevertheless, the vibes are positive, forceful and direct. There is nothing wishy-washy here. Each party knows what the other one wants.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

This is a task oriented day. Expect to get a lot done. It's also a good day to delegate to others, and most certainly, a good day to talk to coworkers and employees. People know what you want (doesn't mean you'll get it) but at least, you'll be heard.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel playful and prankish today! Flirtations are exciting, and invitations to social events or theatrical occasions, or even just a quick lunch will perk up your day. Romance is fun. Playful activities with children will delight. Sports, vacations and the arts can flourish.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Patrick Stewart (1940) shares your birthday today. Despite your casual, unassuming manner, you're courageous, bold and daring. (This catches others off guard.) You know how to make the most of the opportunities that are presented to you. You're willing to work your way from the bottom up. You're extremely goal oriented and focused on your future. This year you will work hard to build or construct something important to you.
