Your Daily MomScope for July 24, 2025
Aries
Some wonderful news is coming to you today, so get ready to celebrate. If your baby or partner gets wind of it, they should keep it under their hats. It will be much more fun for you to hear it directly.
Taurus
You have an exceptional work ethic, and today is a good day to demonstrate that. If you dig in and clear your desk, you might earn a little time off, and use it to take the young'un on a trip to a favorite boutique or other treat.
Gemini
You should put ideas into action today. There is only so long you can spend planning that birthday or after-soccer get-together or tea party. It's time to issue those invites and shop for those goodies. Get going.
Cancer
It's on to bigger and better today. The kiddo is growing like a weed, and it's time to get them some new duds. Better doesn't necessarily mean new, either. Arrange a clothing swap with other moms and get them some trendy hand-me-downs.
Leo
Pride is the downfall of many a Lion, but not you today. You're glad when others notice your accomplishments, but you don't let it get out of hand. You just bask in a little glory, and then get on with what you were doing. Receive a personalized guide to the next year of your life with a 12 Months Personal Transits Report.
Virgo
Hooray for your little one! They've mastered a milestone, be it walk or crawl, or finesse a field goal or a double pirouette. Although you've certainly earned bragging rights, keep your praise under the embarrassing level.
Libra
Don't sweat the small stuff, as details matter far less than you fear today. Focus instead on your larger goals, or take a break and focus on nothing. You can also inspire a close friend to take life as it comes as well.
Scorpio
You're one tough cookie, but sometimes the pressure can get to you. You may be feeling rather stressed these days, given all you must do. Your kiddo deserves a relaxed mom, so try to take it easy for a while today.
Sagittarius
You're dreaming of faraway shores today. Enlist the kiddo's help in pinpoint exactly where you should spend your summer vacation. Time's a wastin' as the sooner you book your dream trip the easier it will be to find a bargain.
Capricorn
Your baby may miss out on something today because another child felt more deserving. First determine if they really are in greater need of it. If so, help your little one give in gracefully -- if not, help them stand up for themselves.
Aquarius
Experimentation is going to be the key today. Just because your baby didn't like carrots on the first three tries, doesn't mean you shouldn't try again. You might try cutting them into funny animal shapes. That might pique their interest.
Pisces
Can't find time for fitness? There's always stroller aerobics, toy pickup curls, baby lift squats. It's really quite a workout when you think of it. See what else you can add to your routine today. Find your cosmic purpose. Receive personalized astrological guidance with Astrology+.

Daily Horoscope for August 02, 2025
General Daily Insight for August 02, 2025 Competing cravings could create conflict today. When relational Venus in sensitive Cancer tangles with big-picture Pluto in compulsively logical Aquarius at 1:46 am EDT, it may bother us that the things we're drawn to don't quite make rational sense. Pushing hard for the most efficient course of action might backfire as motivated Mars misreads touchy Chiron. However, the soul-searching Scorpio Moon then gives Mars some help. Mustering the patience to sort out our complicated feelings should bring us results we'll find satisfying! Aries March 21 – April 19 Your desire to prove yourself could be much stronger than usual. While physical Mars in your materialistic 6th house agitates angsty Chiron in your sign, you may feel like you need to point to concrete achievements in order to justify your existence. As you work through this, strive to avoid taking your insecurities out on your peers — they might not be equipped to give the validation you crave. Thankfully, confiding in a trusted loved one should be an accessible way to find perspective. Taurus April 20 – May 20 Approaching life as a competition may not serve you well at this time. If you secretly hope to control or dominate others, that's likely to be apparent in your communications, no matter how sweetly you try to word things. You're not wrong for wanting to protect your own interests, but there are probably ways to do this that don't involve tearing people down. Try talking directly to someone who's in a position to help you — at minimum, you might receive some welcome sympathy! Gemini May 21 – June 20 Keeping up with your peers could seem key to your emotional security. As abundant Venus in your finance sector looks toward pushy Pluto in your expansive 9th house, you may feel pressured to spend money on a trip or other cultural experience that everyone else is apparently pursuing. Hold on — perhaps you were saving up for a more personal goal! You can probably find a way to make the splurge work if you truly want to, but don't force anything that isn't working. Cancer June 21 – July 22 Asking for what you want has the potential to disrupt a power dynamic today. Unfortunately, you're at risk of feeling guilty after you assert yourself. Wanting to be liked is perhaps part of your dilemma, but you may also miss the basic security of knowing where you stand with the other person while appeasing Venus in your sign conflicts with turbulent Pluto in your collaboration zone. Even if rocking the boat was absolutely imperative, you're not required to be happy about it yet! Leo July 23 – August 22 Prioritizing your material security might challenge some of your cherished assumptions. As driven Mars in your finance zone provokes frustrated Chiron in your dogmatic 9th house, it's likely to become apparent that a belief you hold just isn't working out in the real world. The critical voices in your life may be all too happy to point out your apparent hypocrisy. There's more to the story than they see, though. You can ignore the hecklers and honor the complexity of the situation in private. Virgo August 23 – September 22 Doing what's best for you could threaten a close alliance of yours. As approval-craving Venus in your social sector gossips with manipulative Pluto in your detail-oriented 6th house, you're equipped to spin a version of the story that ensures almost everyone will take your side of the conflict. Before speaking, ask yourself about the purpose of such a tale. Keeping your head down and staying on task is also an option. Whoever is upset may not feel that way forever, so don't escalate things unnecessarily. Libra September 23 – October 22 Stewing in silence over something a significant person in your life did could be tempting today. You may believe expressing your feelings openly would cause more problems than it solved, but the bad vibes are probably less hidden than you think — particularly once seething Mars in your secretive 12th house pokes cranky Chiron in your relationship zone. What would you ask for if you weren't worried about looking good? Managing how others see you isn't always possible, but other desires might be attainable. Scorpio October 23 – November 21 A culture or belief system that's very different from your background may grab your attention without warning. As you determine what you'll do with all the information you're taking in, it'll be dangerously easy to get sucked into arguing about specific details in a way that isn't productive as defensive Mars in your community zone conflicts with anxious Chiron in your picky 6th house. You're currently better off just letting your encounter flow naturally. Gather data now, and make sense of it later. Sagittarius November 22 – December 21 The prospect of receiving public recognition could currently be enticing. However, as determined Mars in your 10th House of Reputation clashes with awkward Chiron in your self-expression sector, you may be aware that putting yourself out there would require you to share an uncomfortable amount of personal information. Perhaps you'd be happy enough to receive validation on a more intimate scale, like from the people you're already close with. Consider shifting your focus toward that goal if it's an option. Capricorn December 22 – January 19 A companion might not see eye to eye with you about money at this time. As bombastic Mars in your philosophical 9th house triggers wounded Chiron in your 4th House of Roots, keep in mind whether you and the other individual come from very different backgrounds. If so, that could mean you two learned different things regarding what it means to have a secure foundation. This gulf isn't necessarily insurmountable, but it needs to be acknowledged honestly. Recognize each person's path to the present moment. Aquarius January 20 – February 18 Coming down too hard on a sensitive subject in conversation is possible now. As probing Mars in your 8th House of Intimacy misreads guarded Chiron in your communication sector, maybe you're not really sure whether you want surface-level pleasantness or penetrating depth in your encounters with others. Just be careful to avoid giving mixed messages to the people you're chatting with throughout the day. If you're not ready to open up about a particular topic yourself, don't push anyone else to go there! Pisces February 19 – March 20 Someone else could be about to trigger insecurities concerning your finances. While reckless Mars in your relationship zone sets off sensitive Chiron in your resource sector, whatever this person says or does might not even seem that significant to them. They may not be aware of this sore spot of yours if you typically don't talk about it. That doesn't erase your pain, but it can guide your next steps. Focus on the real issues instead of lashing out at the most visible target.

Mom Accumulates More Than 30 Tattoos. Now She Says She Regrets Every Single One (Exclusive)
Alexa Locke got her first tattoo at 18 years oldNEED TO KNOW Alexa Locke first began admiring tattoos when she was around 16 So when she turned 18, getting her first tattoo felt like a natural next step Now, 20 years later, the Chico, Calif., resident estimates she has between 25 and 30 tattoos — not including a full sleeve on her left armAlexa Locke first began admiring tattoos at around 16, often noticing them on others and imagining what she might get one day. So when she turned 18, getting her first tattoo felt like a natural next step. Now, 20 years later, the Chico, Calif., resident estimates she has between 25 and 30 tattoos — not including a full sleeve on her left arm. Her ink primarily reflects two classic styles: traditional American and Japanese. But at 37, and now a mother, Locke says her perspective on her tattoos has changed dramatically. "I got the majority of my tattoos very quickly and far too young," Locke tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I started regretting them once I became a mother. The judgment and stereotypes around tattoos are still very strong, which is disheartening — but it's also reality. I hate how everyone's first impression of me is just that I'm a tattooed woman. I'm so much more than that." "Who I was 20 years ago is nowhere near the woman I am today. And when people look at me, they see her — not the person I am now," she continues. "The woman I am today is far more educated, mature and secure in herself. Yes, I hate my tattoos, but I've accepted them because they came from choices I made when I was younger. I understand that I did this to myself, and I understand why I'm judged for it. I don't see myself as a victim, this is simply one of the consequences of my actions." Locke says the social stigma surrounding tattoos has taken a toll. For instance, she's been overlooked for jobs and rejected on the spot simply because of her ink. "That's been a tough pill to swallow, especially knowing it's my own doing," she says. "I hate that everyone's first impression of me is that I'm a tattooed woman. I'm so much more than that. You'll never know how funny I am. You'll never know how kind I am. You'll never know that I'm probably the most nonjudgmental person you'll ever meet." "People always say, 'Why do you care what others think? Just be confident in who you are!' And it's not about confidence — I am confident," she adds. "What's painful is not being given the chance to show people who I really am because my tattoos are all they see." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. A licensed esthetician, Locke enjoys using social media to share her passion for skincare and makeup, along with honest reflections about her life and experiences. Recently, she recorded a video on her balcony candidly sharing her tattoo regrets — never expecting the impact it would have. The video quickly went viral, garnering nearly 7.4 million views and over 20,000 comments. Many viewers, like Locke, expressed regret over their own tattoos. "I've received a lot of love and, surprisingly, a lot of hate," she says. "Millions of people related to me and felt so alone in their regret. I've received so many private messages from people thanking me for speaking out. It's embarrassing. It's humbling. That's why no one talks about this, because no one wants to admit they made a permanent mistake on their body." "Regret is a normal feeling, especially when you've grown and matured into a better version of yourself," she adds. "Most of the hate I've received has come from within the tattoo community. I'll never understand how people can take my story and my feelings about my body as a personal attack on them or their tattoos." Despite the backlash, the positive responses have outweighed the negativity. "I've had a lot of parents and teachers reach out to tell me they plan to show my video to their kids, and that makes me incredibly happy." She adds, "[My friends and family] are all so proud of me! It's a big conversation and hard topic to discuss, especially in front of millions of people to watch and then criticize me for, and they are just so excited and proud of me." Looking back, Locke says that if she could go back in time, she wouldn't get a single tattoo. "I mentioned in my video that I wish someone had told me to wait, and honestly, I'm sure someone did. I probably just didn't listen," she says. "At 18, things go in one ear and out the other. But I wish more people had told me to slow down and really think about it. When you're young, you tend to ignore advice, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't keep trying to educate people about the long-term consequences." She adds, "A lot of kids and young adults — myself included — grow up thinking tattoos make you cool. But the truth is, you make yourself cool. Your uniqueness. Your sense of style. Your beautiful red curly hair! Your freckles! The gap between your teeth! Your sense of humor. Tattoos are cool, but they don't make someone cool. If a tattoo is something you truly want, just take the time to think long and hard about it." When it comes to what's next for her tattoos, Locke says she has no plans to cover them up. "For me, it's not about thinking the tattoos are ugly; I actually still think many of them are beautiful. I just don't want them on my body anymore," she says. "I've considered removal. In fact, I've done two sessions on my fingers. It was excruciatingly painful, and it's a very slow process. I've realized that removing these tattoos will take years and be incredibly expensive." "I am in no way shaming the tattoo community or anyone with tattoos, and I never will," she adds. "I am the most nonjudgmental person you will ever meet. I have so many friends and family members with tattoos and they are all amazing human beings. This is also not a message telling people not to get tattoos. Please just think it through and wait until you are older, once you have found yourself and your identity." Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

Trap Yoga brings inclusive wellness to downtown Detroit every Wednesday
A midweek yoga class in Detroit is doing more than stretching muscles. It's building community. Each Wednesday during the summer, Spirit Plaza fills with yoga mats and people from all walks of life, all drawn to a free outdoor Yin Yoga event, playfully referred to as "Yinsday." It's part of one man's mission to make wellness more inclusive. "It's fun for me. I look forward to it because it's a different challenge," said Jamel Randall, owner of The Trap Yoga & Massage Studio in Detroit's Riverfront District. The evening session, billed as a sunset yogic experience, happens just as the sun starts to set over the city. "It just made sense to me," Randall said. Randall started Trap Yoga because he wanted a class he could relate to. That foundation of inclusivity has helped his community and his studio grow. He turned to yoga after a back injury, and now, through his studio and this weekly outdoor class, he's sharing that transformation with others. "I think it just shows that more and more people are interested in self-care, as long as they're included," he said. "Trap Yoga started, honestly, from me just wanting a class that I could kind of relate to." Each week's Yinsday experience is intentionally shaped by music and movement. Randall's blend of trap, chill, and softer sounds is by design. When the city of Detroit invited him four years ago to host free classes downtown, he expanded his playlist and his approach. "I think the music all alone softens the stance of people. It's like, well, if he's playing this type of music, how serious can a class be?" Randall said. "I want to show that people can come out without the music being the bait, and I wanted to have something a little bit softer for them to practice." When asked what makes him "Detroit Proud," Randall said, "We here for better or for worse. So, when everyone says Detroit is back, we looking like we never left."
