Horoscope July 12, 2025: Aries: Be social, you're more popular than you think, despite contradictory planetary influences. Taurus: Break from past habits, expect dramatic emotional shifts to end soon. Gemini: Strong opinions, but caution advised. Long-distance travel or dreams stimulate. Cancer: Mix business and pleasure; spend freely and make grand declarations of love. Leo: Past actions bring rewards, face minor criticism confidently. Virgo: Optimism reigns for the next year; excellent prospects ahead. Libra: Enjoy social life and romance, but become serious about money. Scorpio: Family harmony, but a strong desire for personal freedom. Handle carefully. Sagittarius: Balance fun with work or indecision; choose relaxation. Capricorn: Extravagant trends continue, but you control your choices. Travel plans may shift. Aquarius: Use your power wisely, restore relationships, solve lingering problems. Pisces: Enjoy solitude for personal ventures; partners should practice patience. ARIES HOROSCOPE: matter of gaining on the swings The contradictory shuffle of planets through your chart looks very much like a matter of gaining on the swings and losing on the roundabouts. Still, social influences are good, so do get out and about as much as you can: you may be more popular than you imagine. TAURUS HOROSCOPE: dubious habits of the past Hopefully you will now be able to make a once-and-for-all break with the somewhat dubious habits of the past. I say that now because you are almost at the very end of a series of emotional planetary patterns that can be traced back over recent months. GEMINI HOROSCOPE: try and persuade You've got some pretty strong opinions, but you've got to think very carefully before you try and persuade other people that you're right. You'll be stimulated by long-distance travel, but even if you're forced to stay where you are, you'll still have your dreams. CANCER HOROSCOPE: crack open the piggy-bank Business and pleasure come together in unusual ways. It's time to crack open the piggy-bank and squander your ill-gotten gains. If you're socialising tonight, be prepared to pick up the tab. If you have declarations of love to make, go over the top. LEO HOROSCOPE: prove their independence The chickens should now be coming home to roost, in the nicest possible way, of course. In fact, some of your past actions will shortly return like so many boomerangs, hopefully in the form of pleasant rewards. You may face a little criticism, but nothing you can't handle. VIRGO HOROSCOPE: snappy financial move Several planets are now settling into comfortable regions of your solar chart. In fact, the auspices, as you will shortly find out, are in many ways looking excellent for the next twelve months. Optimism and faith in the future will be your greatest qualities. LIBRA HOROSCOPE: do move ahead rapidly Push the boat out and enjoy the fact that the Moon aligns with your house of lovers as Venus and Mercury lift your spirits and send messages to your house of friends. However, when it comes to cash questions, your mood will change, becoming rather more serious. SCORPIO HOROSCOPE: no time for faint hearts There are pleasant indications of a helpful family period. However, you may also be seized by a desire to get away entirely and pursue a personal ambition free from all restraints. With a bit of careful handling you'll get your way and upset nobody. SAGITTARIUS HOROSCOPE: primarily responsible for shaping your day-to-day mood A rough count of your planets shows that they are split between those which favour fun and others which either urge more work or are undecided. That looks to me like a recipe for relaxation. Even serious choices and issues may be safely put to one side while everyone digests the latest information. CAPRICORN HOROSCOPE: spare a little thought for professional ambitions Extravagant stars continue. The question is, then, are you going to buck the trend or follow it and surge into the red? The choice is yours: nothing is set in stone. Plus, travel plans may have changed, but it honestly doesn't look as if the end result will be any different. AQUARIUS HOROSCOPE: check up on pensions and investments With the Moon aligned with your sign, you have no excuse if anything goes wrong. In point of fact, there are many ways to deal with lingering problems, some of which have not yet occurred to you. Use your power wisely and include the restoration of frayed relationships amongst your goals. PISCES HOROSCOPE: friction seems to revolve around friends and acquaintances Allow yourself the pleasure of spending a little time alone. This is very much a period to concentrate on your own personal ventures, even if that means other people having to wait for your attentions! Patience is a virtue that partners would do well to develop.
