The Lesson of Two Lunar Squares

Success is more of a feeling than a destination. To arrive physically, it doesn’t matter if you’re running away from something or running toward something, as long as you’re moving in the direction. To arrive emotionally, you could be going the wrong direction with the right purpose and still somehow arrive. Escape brings relief, but not a sense of winning.

CANCER (June 22-July 22)

Love: The less you expect from relationships, the more they will give you today. It’s the little moments that build bonds with loved ones. Shared laughter, car rides, food and even just shared space will make a difference. Business: Focus on the subtleties of your work environment. Pay attention to the dynamics and the unspoken needs of your colleagues. Finance: Small investments of time or money will yield surprising returns. It’s a day for incremental gains rather than big wins.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Love: Building habits in relationships can feel uncomfortable at first, but once they become routine, they foster a deeper connection. Business: Establishing a good work routine is invaluable. What feels like a struggle now will soon become second nature, making you more efficient. Finance: Consistency in your financial habits will pay off. Stick to your budget and savings plan even if it feels tedious.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Love: You’ll influence without trying to. Your calm presence and thoughtful actions will make a significant impact on your loved ones. Business: Even without direct effort, your work ethic and reliability will sway others. Use this influence to steer projects positively. Finance: Your financial discipline will inspire those around you. Lead by example when it comes to saving and spending wisely.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)

Love: You welcome the opportunity to give, especially when you have a surplus. However, today you might need to set boundaries to ensure balance. Business: Sometimes saying “no” at work opens opportunities for others to contribute, fostering a more collaborative environment. Finance: Be cautious with your generosity. Ensure you’re not overextending yourself financially to help others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21)

Love: You know what it’s like to regret your words, which is why you choose economy, listening, and communication through other means, such as gifts or acts of service. Business: Your ability to listen and act thoughtfully will be your strength today. Show up where you’re needed most. Finance: Consider your financial actions carefully. Small, thoughtful gestures can lead to significant savings.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Love: The sensation known as “cringe” often happens when someone assumes they have greater influence than they do. Avoid this by reading the room and being realistic. Business: Be mindful of how your actions are perceived at work. Adjust your approach based on feedback and observation. Finance: Keep your financial expectations realistic. Avoid overestimating potential gains and stick to practical investments.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Love: Progress seldom happens in a linear way. Be patient with your relationship journey, accepting ups and downs as part of growth. Business: Your path to success will have twists and turns. Embrace them as learning opportunities. Finance: Financial growth is not always linear. Stay committed to your long-term goals despite short-term fluctuations.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Love: You don’t expect your experiences to be particularly poignant, poetic, or lyrical, but they do occur this way today, partly because you’re a keen observer and deeply empathetic. Business: Your keen observation skills will reveal important insights at work today. Use them to navigate complex situations. Finance: Your empathy and understanding will guide you in making thoughtful financial decisions that benefit others as well as yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Love: Nature doesn’t just happen in the wilderness or national parks; it’s everywhere. You’re a part of it, too. Your compassion for what grows is a part of what makes today beautiful. Business: Your nurturing nature will be an asset at work. Help others grow and succeed. Finance: Show compassion in your financial dealings. Ethical investments will bring you satisfaction and rewards.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Love: You’ll be too focused on fulfilling a role and getting a job done to worry about how you’re being perceived. This attention to others brings peace now as you lose yourself in service of an interesting challenge. Business: Immersing yourself in work today will lead to significant achievements. Your dedication won’t go unnoticed. Finance: Focus on your tasks and let financial rewards follow. Your hard work will pay off in the long run.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Love: What people say will be far less revealing than how they seem to feel about what they’re saying. Look for patterns of action to understand your loved ones better. Business: Pay attention to the underlying emotions and motivations of your colleagues to navigate office politics effectively. Finance: Look beyond surface-level information to make informed financial decisions. Historical patterns can guide you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21)

Love: Keeping excellent track of your life is more important than you know. Documenting your experiences helps preserve precious memories and cultural insights. Business: Your attention to detail and record-keeping will be invaluable at work. Keep meticulous notes. Finance: Tracking your financial transactions meticulously will reveal patterns and opportunities for savings.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 14)

Though you’ll make a difference in your advocacy for important things like social justice and equality, it will be the influence of your fun-loving style that will often impact those around you. The lifted vibes lead you to be included on projects and adventures. More highlights: meaningful partnership, cherished new traditions, and bursts of creativity that lead to better pay. Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 1, 2, 22, and 30.

CELEBRITY PROFILES

In the series “Only Murders in the Building,” Jane Lynch’s Sazz Pataki plays the patronizing stunt double for Steve Martin’s character Charles Haden Savage. And though she may seem to be the queen of patronizing characters (as evidenced in “Glee,” “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and many more), Lynch is personally known as a sensitive sweetheart. Sun, Mercury, and Venus in Cancer indicate the highly sensitive nature that many comedians share. Cancer crabs learn to protect themselves with the hard shell and pinchers of humor.
