Your daily horoscopes for Wednesday July 31, 2024
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Watch what you say out loud today, Aries. With the moon in Gemini and your chatty third house, you’ve got a lot of thoughts, and you’re eager to share them. But restrictive Saturn in your foggy twelfth house could put you in the penalty box for revealing too much. In a moment of weakness or distraction, you could spill confidential intel or blurt out something that leaves people questioning your motives. Under today’s challenging moon-Saturn square, err on the side of saying less and observing more. If someone’s confided in you, respect that sacred “cone of silence” as if your life depended on it.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Not every acquaintance is a friend, Taurus. Heed this reminder today, especially when it comes to professional colleagues. A challenging square between the moon in your money house and boundary hound Saturn in your group sector advises you to ease from formal to casual a step at a time—if at all. If you’re getting to know a prospective client, pick up the tab for coffee or lunch. Yes, your wallet might feel a little strain today. But think of it as a long-term investment in a business relationship. If this is a valuable connection, your savvy moves could pay dividends.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Self-sabotage alert! Today’s Gemini moon squares off with stalwart Saturn in your career zone, possibly churning up insecurities—which could turn you into your own worst enemy. You’ve poured your soul into a supersized goal, and you’re finally achieving results. But now that you’ve got new responsibilities or a seat at the VIP table, you could second-guess yourself and get cold feet. Feeling nervous when navigating new terrain is natural, so stop being so hard on yourself. Just keep giving 100 percent and trust that what you don’t know, you’ll learn along the way.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Sit your inner Pollyanna in the timeout chair today, Crab. While you don’t want to judge people unfairly, naively putting your blind faith in others is bound to bring problems. Your top priority for the day is discovering whether people are really operating on the same plane as you. There’s no need to interrogate, and assumptions will only get you into more trouble. Craft a few thoughtful, open-ended questions, and you’ll eventually unearth all the information you need.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Don’t take anything at face value today, Leo. A square between the moon and tough Saturn could reveal a team member or someone else who has ulterior motives. A particular person could only be concerned with their own agenda, with little or no regard for yours. While the truth might sting, consider it a wakeup call to stay on your toes. Make sure you do the necessary background checks, and don’t offer your trust unless you’ve spent sufficient time learning more about each other.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Keep your cool today, Virgo. A disruptor could throw a wrench into your plans, perhaps with a manipulative stunt or an obnoxious power trip. Avoid locking horns with this frustrating egomaniac. Step aside and let the showboaters play their games; people will eventually see their true colors. By the same token, keep your own pride in check—don’t do the “fake it til you make it” routine. Keep giving your all, and your outstanding skills will speak for themselves.
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Today’s tense moon-Saturn square could agitate a difficult situation to the point where you can no longer ignore it. Getting the real deal may surprise you, but it might also quell your worries. Take the most mature path possible, Libra. True dialogue includes listening to the other person, not just having something profound to say. Process the information presented before responding. More importantly, own your part in the conflict. Assume full responsibility for your mistakes and poor choices in the name of gaining resolution—and clearing your conscience.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Reveal your plans in stages, Scorpio. While you see no problem with being transparent, some people could have trouble processing it all at once. Give them a few updates at a time rather than overwhelming them with your elaborate 10-year scheme for winning the game of life. On the love front, don’t be quick to accept your date or S.O.’s suggestion for the evening. If you’ve got something special in mind, make it known. And don’t drop everything the minute your love interest calls. A little bit of mystery, coupled with genuine confidence, goes a long way in romance.
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Conflict could rear its head under today’s moon-Saturn square, which will rattle your interpersonal house. While you might not see eye-to-eye on a certain subject, there’s no reason to make this person your nemesis. It’s an emotionally charged day, one that isn’t conducive to reaching resolution. Pause the negotiations process and don’t resume until you’ve both had a chance to cool off. Jealousy or hurt feelings may be what’s really driving this tension, so do a little self-reflection first.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Feel like you’re in over your head, Cap? While the task at hand feels daunting as the moon squares off against your ruler Saturn, you’ve got what it takes to pull it off. Don’t lapse into panic mode. Worrying about every possible “what if” will only exacerbate your fears and stall productivity. Make a list of everything that needs to happen, then prioritize each action. Keep an eye on your teammates too. If a few of them are dragging their feet, you might need to deliver a pep talk—or a not-so subtle alert to get on the ball. Do what it takes to get the job done.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
No shortchanging yourself, Aquarius! Today, a galvanizing square between the moon and discerning Saturn warns against accepting the first offer that comes along—especially if it’s below your pay grade (and self-assessed value). Know your bottom line before going into any negotiations. If you cave and agree to a mediocre deal, you’ll be sure to regret it. Use the same thinking with your relationships. You should get back what you put in, but if people aren’t willing to reciprocate, shift your attention to those who will.
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday July 31
Don’t lose sight of the summit, Pisces, even when the haters start squawking with unsolicited opinions and advice. Alas, under today’s moon-Saturn square, a few of the loudest critics might actually be folks from your inner circle. Unless they’ve got good reason to be worried, don’t let their disparaging comments derail your plans. While their concern (probably) comes from a loving place, they need to accept that YOU know which path is best for you. Move forward with confidence, and show ’em how it’s done.
