Horoscope Today: July 7, 2023
See what the stars have in store for your sign.
You don’t have to do it all alone, Aries. You can ask for help, you can receive it from your support system here or across the realms of light. Your angels come in to tell you that you are not alone, and as you course through life, you are as securely held as you could possibly be. There are things that help you grow and these are the things that you must inevitably sail through, but you can always ask your angels to make your life easier and they will in whatever way possible.
Cosmic Wisdom: Do all you do with your heart and soul, and the cosmos will add it’s magical touch along the way.
This is your time to learn to fall in love with yourself, Taurus. Trust the path you are on, and try not to get swept by all the shiny stuff you see around you. If you are looking for something that feels more like ‘you’ then it may just be a sign for you to close your eyes and tune in for a bit to find that piece of home right in your heart. We all are Source in ecstatic motion, if we choose to be, that is.
Cosmic Wisdom: Use your free will choices to shape your life in desirable ways.
If something has been going on full steam, Gemini, it may be time to hit the breaks temporarily. Take a short break and get some fresh air. Eat light, stay as close to natural ingredients as possible today, avoid stimulants and allow this day to unfold naturally. You are getting out of some sticky conditioning, so go where your heart leads you and tap into the cooling reservoirs that the cosmos brings your way.
Cosmic Wisdom: Often, the act of blooming may feel a little painful for the bud, but it invariably leads to it’s most beautiful stage.
Hidden beneath your tough times and sudden breakthroughs are the core members of your soul family, Cancer, whether or not they may have come to the forefront or actively participated in your life yet. You are now realising, more than ever, that you are here on multiple missions that are a beautiful entwinement of your personal, professional, relationship and other goals. A life of ease is what most of you may be working towards, and here is a taster for you today.
Cosmic Wisdom: Channel your inner priestess and bring the mystical to life.
You are plugged in to Source today, Leo. A feeling of overwhelming gratitude and oneness may be the undercurrent so ride the wave and enjoy this seamless day to the fullest. High vibing energy is up for grabs today and your deepest, most heartfelt desires are within reach. Close your eyes, make a wish and hey, do something nice for someone else too.
Cosmic Wisdom: With a new pair of glasses, the world feels more vibrant and engaging.
Virgo, today may be a day where you may need to check in with your existing reality objectively to assess if what is in your head, really watches what you are living. Things may not be as bad as they seem, and you do, in fact, have support in your life if you look closely enough. Yes, it may be from sources that you may not want it from, but they still are there for you from a space of love. Those dealing with a broken heart - your angels are coming in to let you know that you were protected, and that's probably why things didn’t work out. Connect with nature and ground your energy today.
Cosmic Wisdom: Close your eyes and listen to your heart, even if it makes you cry a little.
You are a grinder, Libra, when you hustle, you hustle hard. But that also calls for you to take a break every so much time so that you can come back in full swing and get to work again when the time arrives. Dunk yourself in the tub, go to the beach or at least get yourself a foot soak if nothing else is possible, light some yummy candles and just detox for a bit. Enjoy some alone time today, it will give you insights and an understanding of your present which may or may not be perfect but is definitely evolving.
Cosmic Wisdom: An old version of you is gone, and a new one is here. Take time off to adjust your gears and then get going once again.
Firstly, you are doing a fantastic job, Scorpio. Secondly, just cut yourself loose from anything that you may be holding onto for dear life - pre-conceived ideas, limiting beliefs, old ways of thinking, or even routines that don’t serve you well. Yes, change feels scary and confusing, but it is the only way you can create something new. You are going through a deep transformation so just for some time, detach from what others think and how they live, and focus on how you can build long-term solid foundations. Hold back on the fluff for a bit, if necessary.
Cosmic Wisdom: To soar high, you must cut the chains around your feet.
You may have been a lot in your head lately, Sag and today your star team comes in to tell you that if you just focus on grounding your energy a bit you will be able to find an anchor amidst the sea storm. Source is paving a way for you, and while you may feel like you will be covered in debris, trust that you won't. Stop standing in one place and explore all that lies ahead, you will find the spark that lights you up.
Cosmic Wisdom: Channel your inner Rumi today, and find the extraordinary in the everyday moments.
Pick a glass of water or a detox juice, whatever your preference, Capricorn, and float through the day. You are uplevelling, so today is a good day to allow things to come to you rather than go after what you think should be the way to go. Trust your inner niggles and prompts, and follow through knowing that you are fully protected.
Cosmic Wisdom: The only difference between floating aimlessly and surrendering is your faith and trust in the higher realms.
As we enter the Age of Aquarius, yes, your era, dear Aquarius, we are moving into a lighter time on to a more heart led journey that is backed by the willingness to act to make a difference. Remember if something is so long-term, it is not seasonal, so pace yourself out and add fun to your daily activities. Ask yourself - what if the point of life is to just have fun along the way? Take your time to say yes to things that feel right and be unafraid to say no out of compulsion. You are here for amazing things and it’s okay for you to be selective about what and who you engage with.
Cosmic Wisdom: You are laying foundations for the long term - be it raising a child, or loving yourself or building an empire. Take one day at a time while keeping in mind your bigger goals.
You have a powerful message to share, Pisces. So make it loud and keep it clear. You may feel like something is coming to a close, but look ahead, you have an entire valley of flowers opening up for you. Now before you cry out saying flowers are seasonal, remind yourself that the important thing is that they bloom and they add happiness wherever they are. Now go on, bloom where you are planted. New pastures will find you as you go along.
Cosmic Wisdom: Be the pillar of light knowing that Source supports you fully.
Discover the Shocking Truth: Parenthood's Hidden Relationship Killer Revealed! Learn the Secrets to Strengthen Your Bond and Avoid Disaster.
Parenthood is known to bring immense joy, but it can also introduce conflict and strain into even the most solid relationships. Extensive research indicates that relationship satisfaction often declines after having a baby, and this decline is even more pronounced when couples have multiple children. The challenges arise from various factors, including changes in the division of labor, shifts in personal identity, and a lack of open communication.
Many couples find themselves unprepared for the impact of parenthood on their relationship. The division of labor, which was balanced before, becomes skewed as new parents navigate the demands of childcare. This often leads to feelings of resentment and frustration, as one partner may feel overwhelmed and unsupported in their parenting responsibilities.
Moreover, the identity of both parents undergoes a significant transformation during the transition to parenthood. Hormonal shifts, physical changes, and the new role of being a parent can affect behavior, priorities, and self-perception. These changes can be disorienting for both partners, leading to misunderstandings and a sense of disconnect.
Communication breakdowns further contribute to the strain on relationships. Couples may struggle to find time for open and honest conversations amidst the demands of parenting. Unresolved issues from the pre-baby phase are exacerbated, and minor annoyances can turn into major sources of contention. The lack of communication and understanding can create a breeding ground for conflicts and misunderstandings.
One major challenge is that these issues are rarely openly discussed. Prenatal courses often focus on the practical aspects of childbirth and parenting, neglecting to address the potential impact on the couple's relationship. Social media platforms tend to present an idealized image of happy families, leaving struggling parents feeling isolated and inadequate. Even friends and family may hesitate to share their own experiences, fearing it could strain relationships.
The silence surrounding relationship difficulties in the context of parenthood intensifies the stigma associated with these challenges. Parents may feel ashamed and reluctant to seek help or express their frustrations, exacerbating the strain on their relationship.
However, there is hope for couples facing these challenges. By actively nurturing the protective factors that contribute to a healthy relationship, such as open communication, understanding, and spending quality time together, couples can work towards strengthening their bond. Seeking professional help through couples therapy is also an effective way to address conflicts and improve communication.
It's important for couples to acknowledge that relationship changes are common after becoming parents and that seeking support is not a sign of failure but rather a proactive step towards preserving the relationship and the well-being of the family as a whole.

Teens Reap Benefits with Increased Pay and Job Choices This Summer
Calling all teen readers (or friends and guardians of them)! Even though summer started a few weeks ago, there’s still time to make some extra cash, as the job market is particularly strong for young employees right now. Not only are workers for classic summer jobs, like lifeguarding and ice cream scooping, in high demand this season, but the roles are also generally paying more.
According to Fed’s Wage Growth Tracker, hourly wages for teens and young adults aged 16-24 are up about 12% from summer 2022. “This is probably one of the more advantageous times,” Nick Bunker, a research director at Indeed Hiring Lab, told CBS News. “Strike now while the iron is hot.”
With more opportunities also comes more room to be selective. While positions like lifeguards used to be highly coveted, teens are now opting for jobs at ice cream shops and fast food restaurants, where they can make more than $20 per hour with tips. “Now if you’re a prospective job seeker, you’re looking around and you realize, wait, that job makes how much now?” said Bunker. “And you’re starting to reconsider jobs you hadn’t before.”

Elton's Swan Song
Legendary singer and musician Sir Elton John is scheduled to perform the last concert of his farewell tour tomorrow evening, taking the stage in the Swedish capital of Stockholm. The 76-year-old Brit has said he wants to spend more time with his husband and children.
Dubbed "Farewell Yellow Brick Road"—an homage to his similarly named 1973 album—the global series has become the all-time highest-grossing concert tour, bringing in close to $925M. John, who has grossed just under $2B on tour during his six-decade career, also holds the solo artist record for most tickets sold, at more than 20 million (the current tour has surpassed 5.7 million across more than 330 shows). His swan song began in 2018 but was paused during the pandemic.
Among his personal and professional accolades, John was knighted by Queen Elizabeth, had seven consecutive albums reach No. 1 on music charts, and won five Grammys. See his career in photos here.
Plot Twist in Houston
A 25-year-old Houston man who was found after allegedly having been missing for eight years was, in fact, living at home with his mother, police confirmed yesterday. The case, which remained open as a missing person investigation, initially made national headlines last week when Rudy Farias was found unresponsive outside a local church, reportedly with a number of bruises and cuts.
Farias was initially reported missing in 2015 after walking his dogs. Officials have now confirmed he actually returned home the following day, ultimately assuming fake names and his mother insisting he was her nephew. Reports also suggest the family was not particularly discreet—Farias is said to have often appeared in public using an alternate identity.
Adding to the confusion, police provided no details on motives for the deception, and prosecutors have thus far declined to bring charges against Farias' mother for filing a false police report, saying only more information would be released when possible.
