Daily Horoscopes: July 19, 2019

Download the Astro Guide app by VICE on an iOS device to read daily horoscopes personalized for your sun, moon, and rising signs, and learn how to apply cosmic events to self care, your friendships, and relationships.

Energetic shifts arrive today as the moon enters water sign Pisces at 5:19 PM and communication planet Mercury re-enters water sign Cancer on its retrograde journey at 3:07 AM. The water element is all about intuition, creativity, and emotion, so make space to tap into these sides of yourself today. Call a friend to talk about your feelings, do some painting, create music, or break out your tarot cards for a little practice. The moon in Pisces asks us to approach the world with empathy, but Mercury retrograde in Cancer finds us having a tough shell, especially when it comes to communication. It's OK to be soft yet firm about what you're willing to discuss right now. Do your best to be a good listener; information you previously missed is resurfacing.

All times ET.
