This is your daily horoscope for Thursday, July 23rd, 2026. All times are Pacific Standard Time. The action starts out around 8:30 a.m. when the Sun and Leo forms a square with Chiron and Taurus. This is taking place at zero degrees. If you have any planets or placements around zero degrees of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, or Aquarius, you're going to feel the effects of this the most intensely. Chiron is the wounded healer. It has to do with our personal and collective deepest woundings, the wounds that never fully heal, but the ones where we are able to evolve, transform, alchemize, and revisit and learn lessons from. And with those lessons, we're able to help heal others. And in that process, we heal a little bit of ourselves as well. Now, the sun, of course, is our identity, our ego, our vitality. And when there's a harsh aspect to Chiron, there is a core wounding there. It can feel like a personal attack. It might be harder to not take things personally. You know, we had Jupiter form a square with Chiron at the end of June, or maybe it was I think it was July 1st. And I'll give you an example. Jupiter and Leo forms Chiron in Taurus. I got a comment on one of my YouTube videos. I make these little tarot videos on TikTok and YouTube. And they all start out with, I don't know who needs to hear this today. And someone left a comment on my YouTube video that said, I don't know who needs to hear this today, but bringing attention to your nostrils is not a good idea because I have a septum piercing. And I was like, ouch. If Stephanie of three, four, five years ago heard that, she'd be crying. She'd be devastated. They'd be upset, right? But I used to want a nose job. I have a deviated septum. And maybe that's why I sound the way I do on my podcast sometimes. Um, just kidding, I was plugging my nose there. But truly, it might be why my voice sounds the way it does and why I'm such a mouth breather. Um, because it's hard to breathe through my nose. Okay. Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is someone might say something personal that really could strike a chord or a nerve or something that you thought you healed and maybe you haven't fully healed, or maybe you are feeling fearful of taking up space and being authentic, or pursuing your passion or what you desire. Or this can be an opportunity to choose differently, to re-engage with your healing journey, to embrace yourself and all pieces of yourself, to forgive yourself for the past, but also hold yourself accountable and take any necessary actions in that process of forgiveness. So it's a little sensitive. People are gonna be a little more easily triggered, your yourself included, okay? But on the same day, later on, around 4 p.m., Mercury stations direct in cancer at 16 degrees. If you have any planets or placements around 16 degrees of Aries, cancer, Libra, or Capricorn, you're going to feel this extra intensely and like a little exclamation point. It's bringing us back to when Mercury first went retrograde, which was don't you tell me, Mercury went retrograde on June 29th. So similar themes and topics might re-emerge that came up on that day. And then we also had the Jupiter kazimi that took place yesterday on at my time of recording, this is July 12th. So other themes and topics from that time period might also resurface. This is not a moment where all of your retrograde issues suddenly disappear and vanish. This is a turning point, a reversal. You're moving in a new direction, you're feeling decisive about the conversations you need to have, the decisions that you need to make. You're feeling more confident about that. There is something that you've learned, revisited, reintegrated from and during the retrograde period that is allowing you to move in this new direction with more confidence. Okay? We still have to travel through the post-retrograde shadow period, which is gonna take us for through like another two weeks or so. So we're still kind of I think of this as like the sweeping up of the final little hairballs and dust that remain in the living room. And sweeping up the final, you know, any inconveniences, putting some band-aids on, fixing some issues, fixing your water heater, whatever went wrong. Things are finally coming to a solution. All right, around 6 p.m. the moon enters Sagittarius, and around 9 p.m., the moon and Sagittarius forms a trine with the sun in Leo. This is bright, this is vibrant, this is passionate and creative and flirty and adventurous. It's great for socializing, connection, for being bold and taking risks, and simply just having some fun.
