General Bulletin of July 14, 2024
Dramatic emotions come to the surface. With the intuitive Moon entering secretive Scorpio at 10:53 a.m. EDT, we’re more motivated to keep our feelings a mystery, but it can also invite obsessive or controlling mindsets. The Moon also rumbles against transformative Pluto, bringing chaotic energy that makes it hard to hide anything. It also aggravates Venus’s balance, so we may struggle to express ourselves in a polished way as balance and good manners fall by the wayside. Channel the chaos into catharsis.
Ram
March 21 – April 19
Keeping a secret can be difficult. You may feel like you’re out of breath to tell people how you feel, especially if you have some juicy rumors that you’re sure others don’t know. Or you may be afraid that someone else will reveal a secret of yours. People can probably tell you that something is on the tip of your tongue, even if they don’t know the details. Try writing down your feelings or talking about them with someone you trust instead of just saying them randomly.
Bull
April 20 – May 20
Control issues become evident. Someone in your life may be obsessed with what you do, whether you agree with it or not. This can make a relationship or friendship feel claustrophobic. No one wants to feel like their free will is being taken away, but at the same time, sometimes we make commitments to others that need to be honored. Find a balance so that you don’t feel trapped, but still follow through on the promises you’ve made.
Gemini
May 21 – June 20
Your routine may be stifling you. You may wonder if you’ll ever have the chance to be spontaneous, since every day is filled with the same, exhausting activities. Yet, this stability isn’t all bad. It’s okay to be bored, but you should also appreciate the reliable progress you can make in times like these. Following an impulse to abandon your routine could put you back where you started! Look for ways to add fun to your day without losing sight of your goals.
Cancer
June 21 – July 22
You’re on a tightrope right now. The temptation to hint at something you shouldn’t reveal or to say something a little scandalous can seem almost impossible to resist. Don’t give in! You’re unlikely to be the one to spill the beans, as you’re quite capable of keeping what you know a secret. However, it’s good to be careful not to take too many risks in general. Words could slip out in the least expected way!
Leo
July 23 – August 22
There’s no point in criticizing your soul for feeling certain things. Whether it’s anger, sadness, or fear, you may be thinking that these emotions wouldn’t affect you if you were a stronger person, and that’s simply not true. Even trained professionals feel nervous or frustrated in intense moments! Emotions aren’t something to be ashamed of: they’re meant to be seen and respected, and then released. It’s not about avoiding emotions altogether, but about how you deal with them.
Virgin
August 23 – September 22
You might be obsessing over something you can’t control. It’s probably nothing wrong, maybe you just want to make things better for yourself and the people around you. That said, a person’s emotional wounds may need more than a band-aid from a friend. No matter how well-intentioned you are, you might end up giving that person the impression that you want them to hurry up and get over it. Let them feel what they need to feel.
Balance
September 23 – October 22
The past may be holding you back. Someone who has been a vital part of your life for a long time may have started to take a different path from yours, so that you are no longer as close as you once were. You may have thought about this a lot, you may have exhausted yourself thinking of ways to get him back into your life. It may be time to let him go his own way. Focus on your path for now.
Scorpio
October 23 – November 21
Personal independence can inspire you to move forward in silence. It may be something that many people talk about—maybe you’ve taken action to achieve a major goal without telling everyone around you. However, this time, it’s more about you and what you feel you need to do for your head and heart. Outside opinions can confuse your inner compass. Those who try to control the direction your life takes probably mean well, but they don’t understand your journey.
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
It can be hard to explain to others how you feel. You may be changing in unexpected ways, and people may misunderstand your new way of expressing yourself. If someone doesn’t like what they see, they’ll make it painfully clear. Well-meaning critics may declare that you’re not who you used to be. If you want to confront them, be gentle but firm. Fortunately, you’re also free to ignore these critics. They’re not living your life, so they don’t have to like your choices.
Capricorn
December 22 – January 19
You may have your eyes set on your goal, but you need more stability to get there. Even if you know exactly what you want to do with your life or where you are going, there is always a certain sense of uncertainty about how you are going to get there or how you are going to find your resources. Others may doubt you because they do not see the vision you have in mind, so your faith will have to be the fuel for your inner engine. Don’t give up!
Aquarius
January 20 – February 18
A sense of accomplishment can lead you to give unhelpful advice. You might think that because you’ve reached a high point in your journey, you should tell others how you got there. What worked for you won’t necessarily work for everyone. This unsolicited advice could actually turn people off to your methods! If you offer help, see what you can do to help them on their journey by asking what they need. Don’t give instructions without being asked.
Pisces
February 19 – March 20
You learn to learn the lessons you need. You may have looked at the world in a more negative light in the past, taking criticism as a personal attack or perceiving rejection as an indicator that you should give up on your dreams. This is a one-way ticket to never getting the outcome you want to see in your life, and it will cut your journey short by miles. Don’t let the first no stop you from finding a yes one day!
