Horoscope today: Your daily guide for Friday, July 26, 2024

Aries (March 20 – April 19)

The time has come to say farewell to certain longstanding plans. While you’re reluctant to say goodbye to these, with so much else in transition, you have begun considering options that, only recently, wouldn’t have occurred to you. If ever there was a time to be bold, it’s now. The more you explore, the better.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20)

Few things are as reassuring to you than coming to the end of an exciting but unsettling cycle of change. While you realised even unsettling developments were in your best interests, you were still on edge. Now, looking back on these, you realise you ignored turning points as positive as they were unexpected.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20)

As a Gemini, you’re eager to learn more about who you meet and what you encounter simply because you enjoy the process of discovery. The problem? Certain individuals regard this as suspicious. Let them. Eventually, they, too, will learn the joy of discovery that is such an important part of your life.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

While, as an intuitive water sign, you have a knack for sensing when an issue needs attention, and before problems turn into something major, at the moment others insist they can handle everything themselves. Although you’ll back off, your instincts are telling you to keep a close eye on events. Those feelings are right.

Leo (July 23 – August 22)

As a fire sign, you think and act swiftly. But, equally, you have a knack for delving into even very complicated situations, and tackling them in detail, as well. The problem? Certain individuals are, quite simply, unable to move as swiftly. Explain, politely but firmly, that this once, you’ll deal with those on their behalf.

Virgo (August 23 – September 22)

Long ago you realised that, as fond as you may be of some people, your differences aren’t just powerful, at times you clash over the matters in question. Acknowledge that. You may feel that, in a way, you’re giving up. But no, you’re simply accepting the person for what they are.

Libra (September 23 – October 22)

Others often comment on your ability to be patient with people who they regard as difficult or impossible. However, the time has come to draw the line. Make it clear what you can and will do, and even more what you regard as unacceptable. Once you have got things organised, it will be a huge relief.

Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)

Most of those born under the sign of Scorpio have a powerful, and inborn, sense of when it’s wise to discuss matters frankly and, equally, those moments when saying the least possible is the best option. Now, it’s a bit of each. Take each conversation and each day as it comes, and let your instincts guide you.

Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)

As a quick-thinking Sagittarius, if and when things don’t move as swiftly as you expect, you are prone to becoming impatient, so much that you ignore other exciting but unexpected ideas or offers. Make no mistake, these are coming your way. Explore them now, you’ll be glad you did.

Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)

Over the past week or so, a combination of swiftly changing circumstances in the world around you and the questions these raised about once-solid plans have made you wonder if a top-to-bottom rethink would be wise. Do so, but focus on those events you can change. The others? For now, wait and watch.

Aquarius (January 20 – February 17)

The time has come to rethink certain longstanding arrangements. While, initially these were new and, in many ways, evidence of timely breakthroughs, you’re beginning to feel that they’re holding you back. In a way, that’s true. For now, focus on exploration. Decisions? They can, and should, wait until you know more.

Pisces (February 18 – March 19)

While most of those around you are puzzled by the current idealistic atmosphere, especially with so much being unsettled at the moment, as an intuitive Pisces, it’s clear to you where this is going. And it’s about beginning to create a more sensitive world. Yes, that’s idealistic. Yet for you, it’s second nature.

If it's your birthday on...

Saturday

Gathering facts and organising your plans was challenging enough. Now it’s about winning certain cautious individuals over to your vision. The real challenge? Being patient while, at the same time, you subtly guide others into making the “right” decision.

Sunday

Obviously you’d rather get things settled, then move on. But, as you’re about to discover, with the foundation on which those plans are based shifting, and often, the more flexible those arrangements and your own thinking are, the better. Adopt that approach and you’ll actually enjoy those twists and turns.

Monday

Recent, hastily-made plans were unreliable. Tempting as it is to hope that was a single, irritating, situation, you and the world around you are in transition, which means that even simple decisions may need to be rethought more than once. Ensure your plans, and your approach, are flexible and the rest will go surprisingly smoothly.
