Horoscope for Thursday, July 23, 2026 - Chicago Sun-Times

What the report says

The Chicago Sun-Times published its daily horoscope for Thursday, July 23, 2026, by syndicated astrologer Georgia Nicols. The column’s main advisory is a “Moon Alert” covering the day until 8:30 p.m., during which readers are told to avoid major purchases, aside from food and gas, and to put off significant decisions. After that time, the column says the moon shifts from Scorpio to Sagittarius.

A central theme across the sign-by-sign forecasts is that Mercury retrograde ends on Thursday. Nicols frames that as a positive turn for several signs, including Taurus, Cancer, Libra, Sagittarius, Capricorn and Aquarius, with expected relief from delays, miscommunication, transportation issues, workplace confusion or unresolved matters involving other people. The column repeatedly pairs that upbeat note with caution about the Moon Alert, especially around spending, commitments and volunteering for new obligations.

The individual entries describe Aries, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius as having “positive” days, while Gemini, Libra, Sagittarius and Pisces are described as more average. Leo is said to be in a strong position because of the sun and Jupiter, while Gemini is described as energetic because of Mars. Virgo is advised to avoid taking on commitments despite a socially favorable period.

For readers with a July 23 birthday, the column notes that actor Daniel Radcliffe, born in 1989, shares the date. Nicols describes the year ahead as one focused on work, construction and building foundations, with an emphasis on simplicity, health and staying grounded.
