Your daily horoscopes for Thursday July 31, 2025
Aries (March 21-April 19) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
You can only deny your renegade spirit for so long, Aries. Today’s intense moon-Pluto square leaves you questioning a few choices, especially those pertaining to your closest relationships. Going along with others’ ideas to placate them only works for so long. You’ll eventually have to confront your own unhappiness if your needs aren’t being met. Start by admitting to yourself that you’re ready for things to change. But first, figure out what you’d like to have happen. A clear vision will help you work toward a compromise.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
It’s a well-known fact that you don’t like to be controlled, Taurus, but today’s tough moon-Pluto square could take your headstrong ways to a whole new level. Are your issues with authority creeping into a romantic relationship? If you don’t release your grip a little and let the proverbial chips fall where they may, you could do some serious damage to your closest bonds. There’s a good chance you’re projecting your issues onto others, so pause before you point any fingers.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
Much to your chagrin, you might have to be “the organized one” today, Gemini. Thank or blame a tough square between moon in your organized sixth house and depth-plumbing Pluto. This could create a cosmic tug of war between your practical nature and your desire to let loose. Your perfectionism could be a front for a deeper fear of taking risks. Release any rigidness so you can relax. And if it’s you who’s gotten a bit out of control, today could serve as a wake-up call to get back on the wagon.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
You’re no stranger to being tugged around by your heartstrings, Cancer, but today’s complex moon-Pluto square could leave you feeling knotted up and bound. With the Scorpio moon in your passionate fifth house makes you want to dive headfirst into a new romance or creative project, but controlling Pluto is slamming on the brakes. Some quiet self-reflection could help you realize what’s holding you back. Is it fear of being exposed—or is there a deeper concern that you haven’t yet identified? If it’s the latter, resolve this before moving ahead.
Leo (July 23-August 22) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
Family drama alert: A casual conversation could get heated today, especially if you feel like you’re being pushed into something. But don’t send your mom’s call to voicemail or ignore an invitation to an event that you really do need to attend. A tricky square between the moon and plumb-the-depths Pluto can help you dig below the surface and uncover the real issue. You may be projecting your control issues onto your fam, or old wounds from your childhood might be clouding your judgment. Take a step back and get your emotions back in balance. Dealing with the real source of conflict instead of avoiding it will help you move forward maturely.

Virgo (August 23-September 22) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
Let loose or hold back? Today’s tough square between emotional moon and paranoid Pluto creates a mental tug of war. You may be fired up to take a courageous leap of faith, but you also feel freaked out about change. You can’t imagine how you’ll handle deadlines, responsibilities and such—yet you don’t want these mundane matters to block your dreams. Look deeper, Virgo: Do you have the right support team? If you’ve been delegating to inexperienced or unreliable people, pivot ASAP. Or, you need to have a serious sit-down with the slackers, issuing an ultimatum. Get everything right behind the scenes, then you’ll be ready to soar!
Libra (September 23-October 22) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
Decisions can be hard for a Libra, but once you set your mind to something, nothing can stop you from achieving it—and you don’t mind putting in the effort to get there. But today’s jarring moon-Pluto square could cause some impatience if you don’t see results fast enough. You may be tempted to cut corners, especially if people around you are taking the easy way out. But that’s not who you are, Libra, and rushing the process might signal an underlying issue, like fear of failure. Stay focused and take things one step at a time. Be strategic, not desperate.
Scorpio (October 23-November 21) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
Are your opinions genuinely your own, or are they too informed by the past? Today’s square between the Scorpio moon and your ruler, penetrating Pluto, reveals the need to think for yourself, even if it means uncomfortably standing apart from your loved ones. You may even need to confront a family member about unresolved conflict. Rehashing old hurts might sting at first, but once you’ve cleared the air, you’ll create true acceptance for each other. Today’s stars could also prompt you to move things around in your home or workspace or part with a sentimental object that keeps you stuck in the past. Get that stagnant energy flowing—out with the old!
Sagittarius (November 22-December 21) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
Today’s obsessive moon-Pluto square could find you fixating on heavy emotions or a painful old grudge. Dwelling on the past or dredging up wounds will only benefit you if there are still unresolved issues around this. Otherwise, you’re torturing yourself needlessly. Speak up if there’s truly something that can be constructively aired. Otherwise, remind yourself that forgiveness is an inside job. Talk it out with a therapist or confidante if need be, and focus on creating a new chapter. It’s time to move on already, Sagittarius.

Capricorn (December 22-January 19) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
There’s no “I” in “team,” Capricorn, so why are you making this all about you? With the moon in your group-activity house, you’re ready to lead the pack today. But your strong opinions could make you come off domineering, especially as a harsh beam from Pluto intensifies your need for control. Put your inner dictator on ice, Cap. Take other people’s opinions into consideration and don’t be afraid to admit when another idea is better than yours. An ego boost feels great for a minute, but a sweet shared victory will reverberate for months.

Aquarius (January 20-February 18) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
It’s lonely at the top sometimes—and that’s something your team-spirited sign knows well. But today, a cutthroat Moon-Pluto square finds you focused on your goals at all costs. Pause for a beat if you notice that you’re obsessively talking or thinking about your career or only one topic. Don’t allow yourself to get tunnel vision, Aquarius. If you’re stuck in perfectionist mode, take a breather and figure out the underlying reason for that (e.g., fear of failure). Reach out to your free-spirited friends if you need help lightening up (hint: you do).
Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Thursday July 31
A wicked case of wanderlust is brewing today, thanks to a restless Moon-Pluto square. Dreams that had seemed remote, like selling your possessions and moving abroad, may feel especially tempting right now. But huge changes take time and proper planning, PISCES—and usually when someone wants to make a sudden move, there’s an underlying reason. What in your present life are you trying to avoid? Deal with that first before you decide to pursue anything else.
