Thursday’s horoscope is here, with the Sun in Cancer and the Moon leaving Virgo to enter Libra. The planet of love, Venus, also enters a new zodiac sign. Venus enters Leo this afternoon, inviting us to be more expressive.
Madonna, Dua Lipa, and Solange Knowles are all Venus in Leo muses. With their personal style and ability to express their personality through their creativity, we can definitely take away some tips on how to incorporate that into our own lives during this time.
Daily horoscope for your zodiac sign for Thursday, July 11, 2024.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Your relationships can take a more exciting turn. Reject the idea that they have to be perfect and introduce some fun into them. Suggest a spontaneous meet-up or surprise a friend at work; these things help you remember why you chose the people in your life and how they brighten your day. Craving more passion and healthy levels of intimacy is more than okay, as long as you dedicate yourself to learning the dance to ignite those fires.
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
If you feel like your needs and desires have been a little too neglected lately, ask yourself what Venus, the muse of pleasure and beauty, is up to. But first, you need to look within and consider what you’re lacking or what’s making you feel more drained than usual. Once you know that, you can communicate what you want more effectively, so your messy emotions don’t get lost in translation.
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
What you invest your time and money in is deeply felt. You can no longer make decisions on the spur of the moment because you feel like it, simply because it drains you more than it grows you. Set aside time to ask yourself how much this commitment will cost you in another currency. The kind of resources I’m talking about are your freedom and creative agency. Weigh the pros and cons more slowly over the next few weeks so that it doesn’t feel like a chore when the time comes to sit down at your desk.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Raise your prices, ask for a promotion, and explain what romance looks like to you. If you feel like you’re putting your needs on the back burner to please everyone but yourself or to avoid overwhelming people with your demands, a change in attitude is needed. Write a script in which you confidently assert your worth and explain your needs. What feelings come out of this?
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
You’re in the spotlight, so don’t shy away when people want to show you admiration. What do you want to emphasize now that you’re in the spotlight? Your leadership, your ideas, your creative expression? This is your moment, and you’ll probably feel much more comfortable taking up space than usual. Think about the messages you received growing up about taking up space. Were you encouraged to be assertive and visible, or were you taught to be more reserved and accommodating?
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Your relationships can be a mirror in which you don’t reveal your true self, your soul. Sometimes we hide in subtle ways, not telling our loved ones our true interests or the random things we explore in our free time. Prioritize sharing your vulnerability so you can feel more comfortable with yourself and those around you.
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Now that Venus is in your zone of vision and community, this is your time to take responsibility for your responsibilities within your community and network. You can work together toward a common goal, which can benefit everyone involved. The most aligned connections honor our well-being and, over time, become a mutual space where honesty, trust, and vulnerability thrive.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
What do you really enjoy about your job? How does it help you further develop your gifts? This is where you can see what new skills you want to develop that could support your long-term vision. Maybe you’ll think about a new course to enroll in to hone your natural talents. Either way, this is not the time to be a wallflower. Show your colleagues that your contribution is invaluable: the rewards could be tenfold.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
You may meet people who come from completely different backgrounds than you, but who will leave a lasting and enriching impression on you. Be open to the people you meet, as they may show you new ways of looking at life, which could help you see the opportunities around you. Often, we think we have to travel far and wide to have a chance at “making it,” and today could show you a change in perspective and open up a new world to you.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Creative transformations await you when you step out of your comfort zone. What if this new thing you want to experience is the best thing that ever happened to you? Don’t let doubt cloud your vision of what’s possible and move forward with conviction and faith. Look to the people who have created new zeitgeists the world never expected; the next person to do it might just be you.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
This is a great time to reflect on the wisdom you’ve gained throughout your relationship journeys to remind yourself that you are worthy of love and that your heart needs to be fully heard and seen. What valuable lessons have you learned about love, connection, and self-worth? How have these experiences shaped your understanding of what it means to be worthy of love?
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
Your work projects could be lauded in the coming weeks. Venus lights up your work talent zone and your daily routine. So if you’ve been secretly running things without taking full responsibility, it’s time to put your name on the billboard. You deserve to be seen for your contribution and to be recognized for it. Sometimes, success waits until we truly claim it.
