General Daily Insight for July 11, 2023

We can express ourselves with enthusiasm! Today we see communicative Mercury running into bold Leo at 12:11 am EDT, encouraging us to say what’s on our hearts and forget about any limitations we put on ourselves. As the sensitive Moon harmonizes with dedicated Saturn, they ground our decision-making and solidify how we feel. Later on, the Moon conjoins expansive Jupiter to give us a double dose of optimistic luck — that said, this could verge on overconfidence. Enjoy the freedom, but don’t go too far!

Aries

March 21 – April 19

You’re ready to do what you really want. It’s possible that you’re already doing what you want to in many ways, but you still might hold back on wearing that one item of clothing because you think it’s too loud or avoid trying something in public for fear of being laughed at. Your confidence in your self-expression is heightened now, taking away some of the sting of what other people think and making it easier to be yourself. Don’t hold back!

Taurus

April 20 – May 20

You can be honest with yourself, Taurus. Your heart might have been telling you something that you’ve been repressing for some time, and as you take a more objective look at your emotions, you’re able to see what that really means for your life. Instead of pretending that you have to be a person that you’re really not, even to yourself, you can be more self-assured and relax into your genuine identity. You don’t have to be perfect — you just have to be you.

Gemini

May 21 – June 20

The unknown is calling to you, Gemini! You may have previously held back from submitting your resume or auditioning for a project or career that intrigues you, possibly from concerns that you didn’t have the skills or experience to measure up to other competitors. While it’s true that someone will almost always have more knowledge than you, you don’t get experience by sitting at home and not rising to the occasion. Whether you succeed or not, at least you’ll know you tried!

Cancer

June 21 – July 22

You might feel more like a part of the team than usual. Even if you’d typically avoid taking on team roles, the people that you’re with can strengthen your sense of positivity and belonging. Your energy is more likely to be in sync with theirs, and it should feel like you have a real state of flow going once you allow yourselves to brainstorm together. As long as you have the good of the group in mind, it will be hard to go wrong.

Leo

July 23 – August 22

Leadership might be thrust upon you at any moment. You could be used to standing out from the crowd, but being the leader of the crowd is different. Commanding others and guiding them in a healthy way, managing chaotic situations, centering disarrayed groups — none of these things are simple for anyone to do. However, you might be just the person to lead everyone out of their confusion! The best leaders work alongside their team, so don’t forget to pitch in yourself.

Virgo

August 23 – September 22

You might be expanding your mind now. You possibly have an artistic or spiritual pursuit that you’re trying to develop, and at last, you’re truly able to get somewhere with it. Perhaps meditation was too hard to focus on, or a creative pursuit was too time-consuming or precise, but with some mentorship and practice, you can turn anything into a daily activity for yourself. You can even find instructional videos online to watch alongside while you hone your skills. Don’t let today go to waste.

Libra

September 23 – October 22

Someone might be encouraging you to follow your dreams. You could be looking at the long, hard road of work that it will take to get you to your ideal lifestyle — it can be disheartening to feel like you’re so far away, with so much more effort to be put in. A friend may arrive to lift the curtain and show you the light at the end of the tunnel — especially if they’ve already gotten there before you. Follow the light to triumph!

Scorpio

October 23 – November 21

Satisfaction is possible through checking things off of your list. You may have a list of projects that you’re working on completing, or just a bucket list of places to visit, but either way, you’re able to make progress at this time. The way forward might have been blocked the last time you tried to finish these particular items, but the road has finally been cleared, and you’re ready to start down it. Every step taken is a step toward your victory.

Sagittarius

November 22 – December 21

An escape is just around the corner. Your life might be chaotic or burdensome right now in a way that’s confining, and you could be looking for a way to let the pressure off of yourself for a while. Opportunities to travel may pop up left and right for you, even if they’re just to the next city over. Take a chance and say yes to a trip outside of your normal routine! Everyone needs to get away from the grind sometimes.

Capricorn

December 22 – January 19

Deep feelings might be shared throughout the day. You may open up to someone who you were previously closed off to, possibly after they share with you first. Sharing troubles or concerns going on in your separate lives should allow you both to understand each other better in the long run. Even if you didn’t know each other well originally, your friendship can grow stronger and flourish after you have a conversation and share your inner thoughts. Be open to connection.

Aquarius

January 20 – February 18

You’re allowed to be very honest with someone else. They might not have realized how they affected you with something that they said or did in the past, good or bad. Take this moment, if you’re ready, to share your feelings with them. Whether their words made you feel more secure with their support or more determined to succeed and prove them wrong, they likely had a lasting effect on you that shaped who you became. Say what’s in your heart!

Pisces

February 19 – March 20

Uncertainty doesn’t have to be a bad thing today. You may be unsure of how your routine is contributing to your success, while it seems like everyone around you has it together. Consider asking a friend for their viewpoint — perhaps you’re missing openings by focusing too hard on something else or avoiding an unfortunately necessary practice that could elevate your lifestyle by improving your organizational skills. It’s okay if it takes a second pair of eyes to see what you’re missing.
