Astrologer Claire Petulengro presents the horoscope for Wednesday, July 8, 2026, offering guidance for each zodiac sign. The stars encourage courage, truth, and forward-thinking actions.
Aries (March 21st - April 20th)
Have courage to really think things through today. It is key to feeling as if you are living life and not just existing in it. Mars allows you to see through anyone's lies with ease. You work out who you need to see less of and who you still can, and should, make a priority.
Taurus (April 21st - May 21st)
Instead of spending so much time thinking about what went wrong in the past, focus on what can go right in the future. Forms you fill in, and interviews you agree to at this time, form the basis for a future you are going to love to live.
Gemini (May 22nd - June 21st)
You did not want such an abrupt and dramatic ending to a certain relationship, but others seem to be intent on playing to the crowd. Finances you need to come in are best given a nudge. Do not make apologies either. This is your right to get back your money, is it not?
Cancer (June 22nd - July 23rd)
Stop letting others walk through your mind with their dirty feet. Things you sign over the coming weeks help you feel more in charge of the kind of life you are going to live. Capricorns link to a lie in the family which is not to be believed.
Leo (July 24th - August 23rd)
Positive actions give you strength and inspire good action from others. Those who want to involve you in a family matter, which will not directly involve you, could see you losing those you have only just made up with, so beware.
Virgo (August 24th - September 23rd)
Good intentions are no substitute for action. You need to follow up on what you want and as soon as possible. News of a major change for younger faces helps cut ties with someone you shared in common.
Libra (September 24th - October 23rd)
You can afford to act quickly if you think slowly. Do not let anyone tell you who you want to be. That is a choice only you can make. Do not rule out going back to an area of work which offers more money by means of quickening your journey to get to where you really want to be.
Scorpio (October 24th - November 22nd)
Do not apologise for telling the truth, Scorpio. Those who decide to make this journey of life by your side really need to learn to accept you as you are. News of an ex helps you move on quicker than you thought you would.
Sagittarius (November 23rd - December 21st)
Do not be afraid to look closely at the path ahead. The need to work out what you can and cannot afford to put into property, and where you live or will live, are relevant now.
Capricorn (December 22nd - January 20th)
The need to see someone who others will not approve of is making it hard for you to tell the truth to those asking. You do not need to explain your actions, but you would be better to decline to comment than to promote a fairytale.
Aquarius (January 21st - February 19th)
The past is on your mind more than usual and I want you to make sure that you are remembering a certain person as they were, and not as you wanted them to be. You see with ease what is not possible professionally and in turn you find your people.
Pisces (February 20th - March 20th)
To be at your best, you must be you, all you. Those who know you well can see that you are struggling to find peace with how things have turned out. I see that you are ready for much bigger changes than you thought. You realise this with contact others make to you today.
