HOROSCOPES
🪐 Daily Horoscopes for Friday, July 18th

ARIES (March 21 – April 19)
Your boldness is hot, but Mercury retrograde says slow your roll: especially in texts. That flirty banter might land… weird. Take time to clarify what you want before stirring the pot. This is the moment to practice patience, not test it.

TAURUS (April 20 – May 20)
Old flames or friends-with-benefits could pop up, but are they here for closure or chaos? The Taurus Moon wants stability, not recycled drama. If you’re craving connection, focus on people who’ve earned your loyalty, not just your curiosity.

GEMINI (May 21 – June 20)
Mercury retrograde stirs your DMs, but Venus in your sign makes you magnetic. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Exes, flings, and flirtations resurface, but you need to ask: is this fun or is this familiar? Big difference.

CANCER (June 21 – July 22)
Someone’s not saying what they mean, and you’re feeling it. Mercury retrograde messes with money and security talk, but your intuition is loud and clear. In love, ask yourself: do I feel safe here, or just stuck? Act accordingly.

LEO (July 23 – August 22)
Mercury stations retrograde in your sign so this is personal. Pride, passion, and mixed signals are all in play. What you think you’re expressing might not be what’s landing. Revisit your love language. Is it working, or just loud? Edit, don’t escalate.

VIRGO (August 23 – September 22)
Retrogrades stir your subconscious. Old relationship patterns might creep in through dreams, songs, or random texts. Pay attention. This isn’t about fixing others, it’s about seeing what still needs healing in you. Don’t ghost yourself in the process.

LIBRA (September 23 – October 22)
Friendships blur into flirtation, and Mercury retrograde is here to mix things up. Someone may resurface, but are they consistent or just craving attention? Venus boosts your charm, but choose connections that feed your heart, not just your ego.

SCORPIO (October 23 – November 21)
Exes and power dynamics resurface, especially around career ties or reputation. Mercury’s stirring what’s been unsaid. Careful who you confide in and what stories you tell yourself. Love favors honesty now, but not performance.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 – December 21)
Love might look long-distance, complicated, or overdue. Mercury retrograde brings back old convos about commitment, faith, and what your future together really looks like. Listen more than you preach today. Your truth matters, but so does theirs.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 19)
Intimacy, trust, and money are tangled. Mercury’s stirring deep feelings you thought you’d already sorted. This is less about fighting and more about revising. Speak carefully, listen more, and know when to pause for clarity.

AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 18)
Partnerships are under review. Mercury retrograde wants you to reconsider what’s equal, what’s fair, and what’s been left unsaid. The Moon says stabilize: build something solid, or let go of what won’t hold weight.

PISCES (February 19 – March 20)
Routine ruts impact romance now. Mercury retrograde asks: are you showing up fully, or just going through motions? Little acts of care matter more than big declarations. The right people notice the effort, not the drama. Keep it simple, keep it sweet.
