Here is your astrological forecast for Thursday, July 9, courtesy of your resident scopetress Jen Bem.

Cancer 06.22-07.21
Neptune is making you pretty irritable this afternoon. Try not to bite off the heads of your co-workers when at all possible.

Leo 07.22-08.22
The fun-loving moon thinks you should head out early this evening. This way you can have one more drink and extra time with your friends — a definite stress reliever.

Virgo 08.23-09.22
You’ll be struggling to keep your head above water today, but you’re sinking under the weight of the work that’s piling up on you. The only way you’ll get out from under this is to keep working harder.

Libra 09.23-10.22
Venus thinks that showing off your best asset today will get you the attention you’ve been craving. Just keep your goodies under wraps until you get off from at work.

Scorpio 10.23-11.21
Confidence is not something that eludes you, but today you’re feeling a bit shaky. Uranus suggests a nice evening where you can watch movies and not be concerned with your body’s flaws.

Sagittarius 11.22-12.21
Your heart of gold will shine through today. If you’re tempted to animals or go out on a date with that nerdy kid, just because it’s the right thing to do, blame the sun.

Capricorn 12.22-01.19
Fiery Mars is doling out erotic energy today that could prove to be really fun or really frustrating, depending on your relationship status. If you’re single, call up a former flame to put this energy to good use.

Aquarius 01.20-02.18
The more complicated your life gets, the more you retreat into a protective shell. Jupiter warns this will result with more bad things to come, so confront your problems now.

Pisces 02.19-03.20
You are, indeed, amazing, but you should snap out of this narcissistic streak soon. That is, if you don’t want your friends to find another person to hang out with.

Aries 03.21-04.19
Not backing down from a challenge is something you’re known for, but today you’ll be in a situation where you should throw up the white flag. You’re not chickening out — you’re being smart.

Taurus 04.20-05.20
Ignoring calls from family and close friends will cause problems today. You don’t need to keep your phone attached to your hip, but don’t screen your calls in case of an emergency.

Gemini 05.21-06.21
Play nice today. Mercury may convince you to throw a co-worker under the bus to get ahead, but it’s not worth it. The payback on that could be catastrophic
