Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
Cancel that marathon meeting, Aries, and forget about a two-hour power lunch. Today is the wrong day for protracted discussions and interminable ideation meetings. The energy is all about quick and easy, down and dirty. It’s going to take superhuman effort to resist knee-jerk reactions, however, so ground yourself with a protein-packed breakfast and your minimum daily requirement of caffeine. Throughout the day, keep your mind engaged by starting and completing doable small tasks and engaging in only brief conversations. Whenever possible, stop and focus on your breath!
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
Your inner wild child is itching to get out and play. Under today’s moon in Virgo and your fun-loving, frisky fifth house, it’s okay to be a little naughty. In fact, if you try to suppress this part of yourself, it’s going to find an even more rebellious mode of expression. Dress up, meet friends for drink, send a spicy text to your love interest. If things gotten a little dull or flat in your social life or relationship, do something totally novel. Having a reenergized sense of adventure in your life might be just the thing you need to get your juices flowing again.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
However busy you are today, Gemini, make time to sit down with a friend and have a heart-to-heart. You’ll deepen your connection and let that person know that they’re more important than some assignment that can wait a couple hours. You’ll benefit as well: Your stress levels will drop, and the bond of friendship will reinforce your highest values, reminding you what really counts. Before the end of the day, call another close friend or relative just to say you’re thinking of them. With the Virgo moon energizing your kinship zone, it’s a great day to explore synergies wherever you go.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
Have you been taking things a little too personally lately? Today’s Virgo moon brings back some levity. Lighten up, Cancer. Laughter is the best medicine, especially if you can develop a sense of humor about yourself. Hey, we all get carried away from time to time. If you made a mountain out of a molehill, level the energy off with some wry humor and a funny card or gift. Blow off steam from the week by meeting a group of friends on the town tonight. Tell them to bring some people—the more, the merrier!
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
Staying focused on a work project and being present in the moment are mutually exclusive today, Leo. Choose one or the other and expect to compromise—a lot. You’ve got the proverbial full plate, and your cup is running over to boot. To preserve your sanity, streamline your to-do list. Get rid of every nonessential items and put your energy on the highest priority items. Ignore the outside conversations, and you will end the week with your mission accomplished.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
Close the opinion polls, Virgo. You’ve gathered enough feedback—any more will lead to an acute case of analysis paralysis. Besides, the moon is in your sign today, giving you the confidence to move forward on a plan whether anyone approves or not.

Reach out to your loved ones and let them know how much they mean to you. Next time you need them, they’ll come running.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
The best things in life aren’t…things. Today is about recalling the power of the human connection. Also remember that people, unlike things, don’t always fit into neat categories, time slots or organizing principles. Make extra room in your schedule for connecting with your entourage. Allow conversations to flow without pressure to accomplish a particular goal. When you relax into the moment, you’re bound to have a more inspired discussion anyway. Looks like you didn’t need to try so hard after all!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
Repeat after us, Sagittarius: I can’t please all the people all the time. If you’ve overcommitted yourself, you’ll feel the pressure today. With hordes asking for a piece of your time, you need to diplomatically bow out of a promise or three, for the sake of your own sanity. Your true friends and supporters will understand. As for the ones who try to guilt-trip you? Remind yourself that their emotions are their issue, and don’t take them on.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
You keep waiting and waiting for “life” to calm down, but guess what, Capricorn? Your fast-paced, overstimulated go-go world isn’t coming from outside of you but from deep within! Your love of excitement creates all the external activity, but even if you need an occasional break from the action. It’s not going to happen without your complicity, so carve out some time to be alone with your thoughts and reconnect with your soul. Sitting quietly is always good, as is yoga, freewriting in your journal or even eating lunch alone where you can “just be” without having to think about anyone else.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
The moon may be in analytical Virgo today, so why do you seem to be the only focused one in sight? Meanwhile everyone else is interrupting you with a thousand questions, comments and “check this out!” pings. Since la luna is lighting up your private eighth house, you’d love nothing more than to disappear into your own zone. Unfortunately, you can’t finish the job without a dozen last answers and details from other people. There’s only so much you can do, so accept that this is going to be a day where you need to practice your juggling skills. Tonight, reward yourself with a little high-end pampering or a sexy evening for two somewhere quiet and exclusive.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Tuesday July 9
Today’s Virgo moon spotlights the power of partnership. Should you find yourself struggling, stop being proud and reach out for help. We’re not talking about the kind of assistance you get from an anonymous forum posting or by reading a random content creator’s advice. Instead, make IRL contact with someone whose skills are complementary to your own. If you have to share some of the profits, so be it. You’ll have a bigger pie to slice from with this powerhouse on your team.
