General Daily Insight for July 08, 2025
We can be our own worst enemies. With the vulnerable Moon struggling to understand the confident Sun, it may be difficult to be confident in what we have to offer. The parts of ourselves that we’re normally secure about may also be on shakier ground. We can breathe a sigh of relief once Luna soothes aching Chiron with a harmonious trine at 11:04 pm EDT, making it easier to find our footing and to take charge of our emotions. Seek self-love over validation from others.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Someone close to you may set off some inner doubts. Maybe you’re in the presence of family members who have criticism regarding how you live your life, or you could be stuck in memories of discouragement from a loved one you once deeply trusted. These comments can cause cracks in your emotional armor, but remembering why you do what you do is a wise way to boost your soul’s security. After all, if you’re happy with your life, who else do you need to impress?
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
Trust that you can create happiness. You might notice yourself struggling to look on the bright side, as your mind weaves frightening what-if scenarios that aren’t very likely. The worst case probably won’t happen, and if it does, you can handle it. There aren’t always lights in the darkness, so just remember that it won’t last forever, and in the meantime, your eyes will adjust. Instead of relying on events outside of your control, take action to make your life one you want to live.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your security may feel dependent on someone else. This could be a family member, a partner, or a close friend, but it seems as though you’re tying your self-worth to their dreams rather than trusting in your personal intuition. That inner voice is there for a reason, and the people who support your dreams should be there to rally around you — if you can break free from any individuals pulling you away from your purpose. Seek out your dream, not theirs.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
Feeling trapped in your head is a plausible risk. It can be difficult to break free from criticisms that your brain insists on repeating, and without outside support, you might continue to be stuck in this mental loop. Reaching out to someone that you trust, perhaps an authority figure like a parent or a mentor, can show you tools to remember what you love about yourself or see your talents through their eyes. Don’t be a critic of yourself, be a cheerleader!
Leo
July 23 – August 22
A lack of preparedness can put you on your back foot. You might feel like you’re not ready to move forward with a situation in your life that you feel passionate about. The risks it would require you to take may seem out of your depth. It could be that you ought to stop worrying about the gamble that you would be taking and start thinking about what’s the best that could happen. Envisioning a positive outcome can make all the difference!
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Rome wasn’t built in a day. There may be goals that you feel discouraged about because you haven’t reached them yet, but it’s important to put it all into perspective. While working hard in pursuit of what you want is crucial, it’s also vital to remember that sometimes it’s just not the right time. You can do everything in your power to make something more likely, but when it’s not the right moment, it won’t happen. Be patient — your time will come.
Libra
September 23 – October 22
The fear that you feel might not be yours. You might be concerned about the effects of a potential outcome, but it would be a good idea to trace this idea back to see where it came from. There’s a high chance that an authority figure or mentor in your life gave you this fear based on their experiences, and just because they had a bad experience doesn’t mean that you will. Take their advice into consideration, but don’t let it paralyze you.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Moving on can be difficult when you don’t feel fully healed. You may still be hurt by an emotional wound that took place in the past, but this ache doesn’t mean that you’re healing in the “wrong” way. Healing is not linear! Even though you’re probably having to navigate a long series of bumps in the road to recovery, you can feel proud of how far you’ve come. Any progress is progress, and any regressions should be given grace and understanding.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Trusting others isn’t always easy. You may have been burned in the past, which would make it hard to reach out to other people or rely on them, even if you’re completely comfortable allowing others to depend on you. While you may have the best of intentions, it’s unsustainable to always be the one providing extra hands to others. You have to be able to say what your needs are to have them met. Take a risk and give trust a chance.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
Someone may need reassuring. You might put yourself in a supportive role for someone who is temporarily unable to support themselves. With that in mind, they could be unsure about taking your help or worry that they’re not doing enough to keep your connection equal overall. While it is understandable that they would want to give back, they’ll have a chance to do so in the future, and you have the opportunity to assist right now. Let them lean on you.
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
You may abruptly notice the difference between who is on your side and who isn’t. There might be an event that elevates you, giving you the ability to see who is genuinely happy for you versus who is merely along for the ride while it’s fun for them. When you start to find success, then someone starts spouting excessive critical words about you, then it could be time to take a step back from that person. Surround yourself with real friends.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Not every risk needs to be taken. You might be tempted to do something that’s outside of your comfort zone, and while that has its place, be aware of the chance that you’ll end up in an uncomfortable situation. Miscalculations will have consequences! At this point, it would be a better idea to do what you love and what you feel safe doing, because deviating from the norm could result in an unpleasant surprise. It’s okay to leave something on the table.
