Horoscope for Saturday, July 12, 2025
Moon alert
Caution: Avoid shopping or important decisions after 2:30 p.m. Chicago time for the rest of the day — as well as tomorrow. The moon is in Aquarius.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
There is a strong likelihood that a friend or a member of a group will catch you off guard today and test your ability to be diplomatic and cool. Be aware of this. Don't take the bait! Meanwhile, expect some resistance talking to your kids or a romantic partner.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today has a double-edged sword. Financial negotiations will go well. In fact, you might impress a boss or someone in authority with your financial expertise. However, discussions with parents or family members might be challenging.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
Travel plans look favorable. This is also a great day to study or learn something new. Meanwhile, romance with someone different might blossom! Nevertheless, discussions about politics, religion or racial issues could trigger a difference of opinion. To keep the peace, you might have to agree to disagree.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
Financial squabbles or misunderstandings might take place today. These could relate to your earnings and cash flow, or they might relate to shared responsibilities and shared property. Fortunately, something going on behind the scenes will favor you. (Is that a cavalry bugle I hear?)
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Be patient with a partner or close friend today because the moon is opposite Mercury in your sign. (This can trigger petty squabbles.) Fortunately, relations with friends and groups are warm, friendly and mutually rewarding. You win some, you lose some.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
You make a great impression on others today, especially authority figures — parents, bosses and even the police. Nevertheless, you might have some differences at work with someone younger, perhaps someone in an organization or even a friend. You can handle this.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
This is an excellent day to make travel plans or explore opportunities in publishing, the media, medicine and the law. Doors will open for you. Romance with someone different might also blossom. Be patient with a younger friend who needs your understanding.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Even though discussions with parents and authority figures might be challenging today, this is still an excellent day to ask for a loan or mortgage or for help because assistance will be forthcoming. You'll come out smelling like a rose.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Steer clear of controversial subjects related to politics, religion or racial issues today because they will trigger arguments. Fortunately, relations with those who are close to you are warm and rewarding. You feel genuine affection for someone.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Minor squabbles about possessions, shared responsibilities or shared property don't have to ruin your day today. In fact, this is a favorable day to discuss money related to your job or any work that you do. Likewise, relations with co-workers are happy and supportive.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You're in the driver's seat today because the moon is in your sign, which gives you a slight advantage over all the other signs. This is a great day to socialize and schmooze! Enjoy sports events, activities with kids and fun outings. (However, you have to be patient with a partner or close friend.)
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Family relations are smooth today. This is why it's an excellent day to entertain at home, especially because you feel eager to socialize and enjoy the arts and the company of children. If some minor differences related to your job occur today, don't let this get in the way of happy times with others.
If today is your birthday
Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai (1997) shares your birthday. You are intellectual, analytical and sensitive. You can inspire and direct the actions of others. This is the beginning of a new nine-year cycle. Expect adventure and major changes. Keep your eyes open for new opportunities. Be ready to take action and define your goals.
