Horoscope for Thursday, July 09, 2026

Moon Alert

There are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The moon is in Taurus.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your desire to relate to others, especially at work, will be stronger in the next four weeks, which is why you might choose to make peace with co-workers or customers. This will be easier to do. In fact, it's an excellent window to extend an olive branch to someone.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Romance is favored in the next four weeks! In addition, your social life will get a boost because opportunities to schmooze with others and enjoy the arts and the entertainment world, as well as visit restaurants and hotels, will be pleasing options for you. (We like!)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Look for ways to improve where you live or make your digs more attractive because this will please you. You might want to entertain at home as well, especially to show off your clever ideas or what you might have done. Real estate opportunities are particularly favored.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

A lovely influence has just begun for your sign, promoting interactions with siblings, relatives and neighbors. You'll find that you'll be more charming when talking to everyone, and this pleasant influence will give you an increased appreciation for the beauty of your daily surroundings.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You will attract money, favors and gifts from others in the next four weeks. Ka-ching! This could make you feel more extravagant, which is why you might buy beautiful clothes, jewelry and art objects to beautify your home. You want to spend money on pleasure and fun!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Lucky you! For the next four weeks, fair Venus will be in your sign, making you more charming and attractive in everyone’s eyes. Communication with everyone will be easier and more gracious. (This is a particularly good time to shop for wardrobe items for yourself.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Some of you will be involved in secret love affairs in the next four weeks — or a saucy flirtation that makes your heart skip a beat. (Who doesn't like to be admired, especially romantically?) You also will be more generous and selfless in your closest relationships.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Friendships will mean more to you in the next four weeks. You might feel closer to a friend or a member of a group. Indeed, some will take a platonic friendship and move it to a romantic relationship. You might be involved in charitable activities more than usual as well.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Others will admire you in the next four weeks. Someone will seek your advice about how to make something look more attractive — a webpage, design, layout work, office redecorating, PR — even gardening. You'll know what to say.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Opportunities to travel for pleasure will increase in the next four weeks. Be aware of this and be ready to act if you can break free of your daily routine and explore more of the world — either close to home or far away. Romance with someone "different" might blossom.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The next four weeks are an excellent time for financial negotiations and discussions about shared property, shared expenses, inheritances or anything that you own jointly with someone else. Whatever happens, you'll be laughing all the way to the bank. Meanwhile, romance will be passionate.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Fair Venus is opposite your sign for the next three weeks, which is one of the best places it can be. All your relationships with others will improve — personal, casual and romantic. Even your relations with your enemies will be better!

If today is your birthday

Actor and filmmaker Tom Hanks (1956) shares your birthday today. You are curious, sensitive, imaginative and realistic. You're enthusiastic about a wide range of subjects. This year, you will reap the benefits of all your hard work. Expect power and leadership. Seize opportunities in business dealings. Acknowledgment from others, promotions, and the spotlight will shine on you.
