Here’s today’s horoscope from the Canary – helping guide you through life, with a daily dose of lifestyle musings for our readers.

Your horoscope for Thursday 17 July 2025

Aries ♈

Mars trines the Moon in your horoscope, and your natural boldness is spiced with just enough emotional instinct to spark some beautifully timed defiance. Today, challenge a bad policy, decline a soul-sucking task, or offer cover for someone who’s already had enough. Lead by acting — not charging ahead. You’re not the only one burning with purpose, so pass the matchstick.

Taurus ♉

Venus sits sweetly in your sign, but today’s cosmic forecast reminds you that being grounded doesn’t mean being silent. Name what’s unfair, especially when it’s being dressed up as “just how we do things here”. Ask why the budget never stretches to proper tea but somehow funds another “engagement strategy”. Resistance is a pot of builder’s and a well-timed eye roll.

Gemini ♊

Mercury squares the Moon in your horoscope, and your mental chatter is loud enough to drown out consensus. Pause. Listen. Let others fill in the blanks. Today’s radical move? Creating space. Ask what’s missing. Build a shared doc and actually read it. Your brilliance is needed — but so is your curiosity about other people’s truths.

Cancer ♋

The Moon in Virgo nudges your inner caretaker toward “helpful martyrdom” territory. Be careful. Today, offer structure, not self-sacrifice. Create systems that prevent burnout, don’t just patch it. Suggest a shared emotional debrief session. Make “how are you really?” part of the agenda. You’re not the office mum. You’re the emotional architect of the revolution.

Leo ♌

The Sun forms a square with Uranus in your horoscope, and your usual shine might get blocked by someone else’s erratic behaviour (read: middle management chaos). Don’t dim — redirect. Uplift someone less visible. Refuse to perform excellence for broken systems. Remember: solidarity > spotlight. True leadership shines by making others feel seen.

Virgo ♍

Mercury in Leo is loosening your tongue just enough to say what’s long been on your list — and today is the day to draft the policy proposal, call out the rot in the rota, or slide a quiet manifesto across someone’s desk. Detail is still your power, but don’t get lost in formatting. Say it simply. Say it with purpose.

What’s in store with your horoscope today?

Libra ♎

Venus squares Pluto and it’s giving you serious “I don’t want to pick sides, but also this is absolutely unjust” energy. Spoiler: it’s okay to be the one who breaks the façade of neutrality. Today, speak from your values, not your fear of disrupting the vibe. True balance doesn’t mean stillness — it means movement shared fairly.

Scorpio ♏

Pluto retrograde in your horoscope has you reflecting deeply on who controls the room — and why. Today, you’re not just sensing power — you’re ready to redistribute it. Do it quietly. Suggest a rotating facilitator. Forward that document to the right comrade. You don’t need fireworks to transform a dynamic. Just your spine and one well-timed pause.

Sagittarius ♐

Jupiter trines Mercury, and your ideas are popping like popcorn — but your comrades might not be ready for all of them today. Scale down your revolutionary proposal to something immediate and actionable: a shared resource list, a drop-in discussion, a very informal teach-in. Momentum is built in cups of tea, not manifestos (well, not only manifestos).

Capricorn ♑

Saturn retrograde in your horoscope invites you to reflect on what (or who) you’ve been holding up with sheer willpower. Is it time to let go? Just because you can doesn’t mean you should. Propose a workload audit. Ask what tasks are essential — and whose definition of “essential” we’re using. You’re not here to hold it all. You’re here to build something worth holding.

Aquarius ♒

Uranus in Taurus is challenging your ideals with the gritty reality of “how do we fund this mutual aid project with £3.27 and a broken printer?”. Today, don’t let frustration lead to detachment. Use it to push for creative, communal solutions. Ask the group what you can do together. It’s not about fixing — it’s about forging.

Pisces ♓

Neptune conjuncts the Moon in your horoscope, and your dreamy sense of justice is feeling especially poetic. Lovely. But don’t let your vision stay in the ether. Bring it down to Earth. Ask what healing looks like today, in the group, in the inbox, in the body. Design a care rota. Create a nap schedule. You’re not escaping — you’re dreaming forward.
