In this daily horoscope for July 8, Bustle’s resident astrologer Mecca Woods, founder of My Life Created, shares the astrological events happening today that will affect every zodiac sign. Below, here’s a look at how astrology will affect our lives today.

Today calls us to take some time to reflect and check in with ourselves, as the moon moves home to intuitive and tenderhearted Cancer by mid-morning. As we gear up for July’s new moon in Cancer, we’re encouraged to focus on our emotional well-being and the close bonds that we share with others. As hopeful Jupiter in Pisces teams up with the moon by the afternoon, we get a nudge to seek out people and experiences that uplift us.

Although, if we’re feeling moody or tender, we should take it slow and try to avoid anything triggering or upsetting. But this could be difficult to do, as spicy Venus in Leo faces off with shocking Uranus in Taurus by the late afternoon. As a result, people may not be on their best behavior. However, we can expect this Venus-Uranus mashup to highlight the broken relationships that we need to leave behind, as well as any stressful issues that we need to address. Doing so will foster the security and emotional fulfillment that we’re seeking.

Read below to see what the stars mean for your zodiac sign today, and make sure to check out your July 2021 monthly horoscope.

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

If Your Zodiac Sign Is Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
