Summary
July 23 marks the end of Mercury retrograde, a shift the horoscope says should ease delays, miscommunication, transportation snags and routine mistakes that built up since late June.
An all-day Moon Alert remains in force until 8:30 p.m., with readers advised to avoid major decisions, volunteering or shopping beyond food and gas until the moon enters Sagittarius.
Cancer, Libra, Capricorn and Aquarius are told the change should restore normal momentum in areas hit hardest over the past month, from partnerships and authority ties to work, health and equipment.
Taurus, Gemini and Sagittarius are singled out for expected relief in travel, finances and paperwork, while Leo and Pisces are urged to wait out the caution window before acting.
The column frames the day as a transition point: hold back through the alert, then expect smoother progress after 8:30 p.m. and into tomorrow.
