You may feel like you are in a warm emotional bath, which helps you feel more comfortable and release any feelings you have hidden inside.
Gently letting go of stories from the past can make you feel much lighter and freer. Plus, it’s a wonderful time when our intuition is incredibly powerful, giving us insight into our deepest dreams and desires and giving us an extra boost of faith to believe in lofty possibilities.
Daily horoscope for your zodiac sign for July 16, 2024.
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Sometimes you have to surrender your will to something greater, like your spiritual instinct. If there is something in your life that you are trying to force to happen today, you may find that you have to surrender to whatever it is in order to understand what it is trying to teach you and show you.
Getting out of your own way can be a blessing in disguise. Ask yourself, “What areas of my life do I feel the most need to control?” and “How do I feel about giving up control in these areas? Why?”
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
When you have a goal, you can have powerful tunnel vision, which can work in your favor. However, there are times when you may need to change lanes or pivot. If there are other ways to reach your destination, your inner instinct may push you to consider other options.
Put yourself in feeling mode rather than just considering practical choices to expand your view of opportunities. Close your eyes and visualize the different scenarios or choices you are considering. Pay attention to how each one makes you feel. Do you feel excitement, peace, tension, or uncertainty?
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
It’s time to pause your strategy and dive into the throes of life. Let the winds carry you into uncharted waters and simply open your sails so you can glide. Trust in the path ahead, even if you have no idea where you’re going.
By stepping into the unknown, you can strengthen your intuition and discover more about the secret order of life. Think about the last time you took a step into the unknown. What was the situation and what motivated me to take that step?
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Your sensitivity is your superpower, and today you may be feeling more emotionally open. You may be more open to intimacy, which helps you deepen your level of trust with people and take your relationships to a new level of depth.
If a part of you is afraid to delve deeper into the seas of intimacy, ask yourself where these feelings of resistance are coming from. Identify the root of these stories so you can heal them.
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Your creative visions and dreams have more color and depth, and you may feel inspired again to dream even bigger than you have recently. Let go of excessive thinking and do what you can to open your eyes and heart to channeling these creative visions onto paper.
This is not the time to structure them solidly, but rather to receive the ideas that are expressed through your senses. Give yourself a quiet moment and write down a recent time when an idea or inspiration came to you through a sensory experience (sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell). Describe this moment in detail.
Virgo (August 23 – September 22)
Even if you try to calculate all the possible ways a decision can have a ripple effect in different areas of your life, sometimes you just have to surrender to making the choice and see what happens.
There is no knowing how our choices could have consequences that we simply cannot foresee. So today is about deepening your faith in life itself. Put your ego aside and know that everything in life is a lesson, no matter the outcome. How do you define surrender to life and how is it different from giving up?
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Today could bring a tremendous amount of healing to your relationships; we have all been hurt in some way in our relationships, whether parental, friendship, work or love.
We heal each other when we approach each other with the same level of empathy, compassion and forgiveness. Let the light and love in, and be in good and healthy company today.
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
Today you may feel an incredibly calming experience, as you may feel like you can leave past hurts in the past instead of picking at them and replaying old story tapes that only make the pain worse.
By being honest with yourself about where you feel you have not moved forward, you can allow healing to come in. When we lie to ourselves or ignore it as if it has not affected us on a deep emotional level, we create barriers and close our hearts to healing and love.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
We know how much you love adventure and exploring different lands and studies that enrich your way of seeing the world. However, it is important to know when you are doing it for escapism rather than for pleasure and curiosity.
Give yourself a chance today to sit quietly and surrender to the present. Messages from your soul may emerge in your heart and mind and prompt you to see that even in the daily grind, there can be a sense of mythical adventure.
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
You may have incredible inspirations that could help you move more toward your creative passions, to heal your inner child. We have been creating since the beginning of the earth; it is part of our DNA, our very nature, and it does not need a purpose.
In fact, the moment we set a goal for our creativity, we risk attaching external standards to it, which can diminish the powerful creative charge we initially felt.
Aquarius (January 20 – February 18)
Today, Aquarius, surrender to the power of rest and restoration. Place yourself in a delicate pause and see where your creative spirit wants to take you.
Sometimes when we try to overload our calendars and work schedules, we miss the little synchronicities and miracles that life often shows us in the small moments of time we have between errands and to-do lists.
Pisces (February 19 – March 20)
You are a natural mystic, and even with the demands of life of climbing the career ladder, caring for family, and being the event planner for your friends, you must make time to meditate and attend to your rituals.
You can often feel very impacted by external stimuli like the hustle and bustle of traffic and noisy offices, so use this cosmic opportunity to find your midpoint and take care of what matters most: feeling safe and healthy within yourself.
