What’s in store for today? Your horoscope for July 20, 2023
Aries
March 21 to April 20
Determined to forge ahead with a personal goal? As much as you want it, another side of you might find it hard to summon the motivation. Perhaps you’re keen to start a diet or exercise routine or let go of a bad habit, Aries. It can take some battling to get a new routine underway, but once you’ve stuck with it for around three weeks, it will soon become second nature.

Taurus
April 21 to May 21
Have your mind set on accomplishing something? Without help, it might not be easy to make a start. Yet the people you usually rely on may be reluctant to get involved. The flow of events could snarl up, meaning everything takes longer than planned. Take a step back and don’t fret, as it will slowly come together. Just do what you can, when you can, and let it be enough, Taurus.

Gemini
May 22 to June 21
With stoic Saturn in Pisces, this is not a time for wishful thinking as much as being realistic about your chances. If you’ve set your sights on an opportunity, it might not arrive as quickly as you’d hoped, but this doesn’t mean that it won’t. And with Mars in a private zone also involved, family issues could delay matters too. Sort these out and you’ll have a better chance, Gemini.

Cancer
June 22 to July 23
If straight talking won’t encourage someone to change their mind, there may be another way that involves some lateral thinking. The situation you’re facing may be quite serious, but it could shift if you alter your perspective. A spiritual or philosophical approach that allows for more leeway might ease tensions, Cancer. It could also inspire a heart-to-heart chat that resolves this.

Leo
July 24 to August 23
Mars in your money zone opposes prudent Saturn in Pisces, so you may feel stuck where finances are concerned. If you’ve been waiting for news about a loan or other agreement, it can be delayed. It’s also possible you could face a cash flow shortage for a day or so, so having something in reserve will tide you over. Whatever the reason for your frustration, it will pass within a week.

Virgo
August 24 to September 23
You can hope for the best, but if someone is being unnecessarily stubborn, then it won’t do you much good. And getting annoyed with them might mean they become even worse. One way to resolve this is not to let this person get to you, which can be hard if it’s someone familiar. Bothered by their reaction? This can give them a hold over you. Try to remain detached, Virgo.

Libra
September 24 to October 23
A part of you may wish that you didn’t have to deal with an issue that’s taking up a lot of time and is a real nuisance. Still, sidestepping it likely won’t help either. If there’s nothing you can say or do that will bring a result, then a calm approach may be your best option. Although tensions might linger on, patience can keep things on an even keel over coming days, Libra.

Scorpio
October 24 to November 22
This isn’t the best time to arrange an event or get-together, or even a first date, as things may not go as planned. With Mars opposing Saturn, it might seem that everything that can go wrong does. Perhaps it will need to be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. If so, this could be a blessing in disguise, as next time there will be a better atmosphere. It’s worth waiting for!

Sagittarius
November 23 to December 21
No matter how much your world and another’s intertwine, the current Mars/Saturn face off suggests that it’s best to take the path that’s right for you rather than take your cue from them. Mind, this may be easier said than done, as someone can be determined to persuade you otherwise. If you resist, they could ramp-up their opposition. Show them you mean business.

Capricorn
December 22 to January 21
Need something to happen fast? An event could occur that stops it in its tracks. This is where you might find yourself today, so you’ll need to be patient. If the thing you want is urgent, then the opposition between Mars and Saturn across your communication axis can certainly get in the way. But if you use this time to refine your strategy, you could well make a sterling job of it.

Aquarius
January 22 to February 19
Feelings of annoyance and frustration could go through the roof if something is delayed for too long, especially if you were promised it yesterday. Things can reach a peak over the next day or so, and you might either get stressed trying to make it happen or relax and go with the flow. This “stuck” phase will begin to ease over the weekend, and soon enough you’ll get there, Aquarius.

Pisces
February 20 to March 20
You may feel the current Mars/Saturn opposition in a very personal way, especially with Saturn now in your sign. Rather than getting along with someone, it might appear that you’re on a collision course as your thoughts and feelings are so different, you’ll never get anywhere with them. Don’t fight it. Instead, relax and let it go, within days things will begin to turn around.
