As the first sign of the zodiac, Aries tend to be trailblazers. The Sun sign represents will and purpose. Aries is the Cardinal Fire and rules the head. Your ruling planet is Mars. Aries tend to be headstrong, energetic, forceful, and outgoing. You are more likely to rush into things before proper planning and exhibit little patience when sitting back and letting events happen or mature without intervention. You have a strong will and can come across as self-centered when achieving your goals, big or small.
The Sun in the first house represents a collective of energy to be, act, and initiate. You are more likely to be enterprising and ambitious. Courageous, independent, and a natural leader, you forge ahead with your head held high and a determined look in your eye. Others may perceive you as egocentric or overbearing when you don’t take other views into account. You are at your best when you demonstrate your independence, which does not hinder the independence of others.
Daily Horoscope
The Sun represents ego and will in astrology, as it is the most visible and important star. While the Sun is in the house of Cancer, you may find yourself more focused on family. Creating and storing memories of time spent with those you love and cherish will feel like a top priority. There is a softness or comfort factor in the air during this time.
The Moon represents hidden or emotional needs, it reflects your instincts. While the Waning Moon is in Gemini, you and those around you may thirst for intellectual conversation. You may notice the collective mood today is light and bright. It may be easier to become scatterbrained and not as receptive as usual. Practice active listening while conversing with others to help keep your head in the conversation. It is a good day to attack the emotionally volatile issues that you have been procrastinating about. Your mood and attitude will help dampen the situation so progress may be made without issue.
Love and Relationships
Planetary energies are polarized as Pluto is Square Jupiter. Be aware, Aries, as outside influences stimulate your choices and perspective. Transforming your philosophy or feelings on spirituality may feel like a top priority. Aries, you are likely to delve into a new research project, whether for work or study, and you may be fully immersed. Travel and educational plans are a valid possibility. Integration shall prove to be your only great challenge during this transit.
Family and Home
Go with the flow and work with others while the Sun is in the Seventh House. Aries, your relationships will feel more emphasized, meaning you will want to socialize rather than spend time alone. This is a good time to strengthen bonds or partnerships. It is also possible for legal entanglements to arise from the result of conflicts. Learn from your mistakes and accept the hard truths, and you will prosper.
Career and Finances
Your outlook on finances or money may take a more creative approach, Aries. While Venus is in the Fifth House, the world may feel a bit more dramatic and intense. You may feel a positive boost in your confidence and assertiveness. This transition lasts three weeks, so allow yourself to follow the flow. Share feelings and bond over mutual interests, whether professional or recreational.
Conclusion
As the New Moon in Cancer approaches, it is a time to let go of the old and negative energies you may have been holding on to. Make no plans or concrete promises today, astrologers advise against it. The Moon is in a void of course between the houses of Gemini and Cancer. During this time, reflect and meditate on your situation, formulate ideas, and write them down. Come back to them tomorrow for more inspiration.

Oregon suspends former five-star WR recruit indefinitely
Oregon wide receiver Jurrion Dickey has struggled to live up to expectations in his first two seasons with the Ducks, and he is now in a terrible position heading into 2025 as well. Dickey has been suspended indefinitely by Oregon, head coach Dan Lanning announced on Tuesday. Lanning also suggested that Dickey may not play for the Ducks again. "We have two team rules; that’s respectful, be on time,” Lanning said, via James Crepea of The Oregonian. “There’s some pieces of that where I felt like he needed a break from us and we needed a break from that so we could focus on what’s in front of us right now. "Wishing him nothing but the best, as far as success and want to see him get back to where he can be a contributor somewhere; that might be here that might be somewhere else.” Dickey was a five-star recruit and rated as one of the top wide receivers in the country when he came out of Menlo-Atherton High School in Atherton, California, in 2023. He suffered an injury in his senior year in high school and redshirted as a freshman at Oregon. Dickey has two catches for 14 years during his time with the Ducks. Oregon went 13-1 in Lanning's third season with the program last season. The Ducks lost to eventual national champion Ohio State in the College Football Playoff quarterfinals.
Brewers' dominance is a reality check for Cubs' World Series ambitions
The Chicago Cubs held the top spot in the NL Central for nearly five months. Having sent a prized haul to the Houston Astros for one year of Kyle Tucker, Chicago became a win-now team with the imperative task of reaching the World Series. It seemed the Cubs were well on their way to achieving their lofty aspirations; however, on July 28, they walked into a three-game series with the Milwaukee Brewers, both tied for first place. In a battle for the lead, the Brewers prevailed, taking two of three. Since then, the Cubs’ competitiveness has evaporated. After cruising to their 12th consecutive win on Wednesday, the Brewers hold an eight-game lead over their once-fierce division rival. The top spot in the NL Central now appears out of Chicago’s reach. Nonetheless, with a 3.5-game lead in the wild-card race, the Cubs still have a viable route to the postseason. But the overarching question isn’t about whether the Cubs can make it to the postseason, but whether they can topple the Brewers when they get there. Regardless of their 1-2 series loss to the Brewers, the Cubs have been on a downward spiral. Since the trade deadline (and just after their bout with the Brewers), the Cubs have lost six of their last 10 games. Both Tucker and fellow All-Star Pete Crow-Armstrong have been slumping heavily at the plate, weighing on the Cubs’ potent offense. And making their future even more gloomy is that they did not pick up a starter at the trade deadline, instead opting to rely on Javier Assad upon his return from the IL (four earned runs in four innings against the Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday, his season debut). The Brewers, on the other hand, recently came off a 10-game win streak and have now embarked on a 12-game (and counting) win streak. Their pitching staff owns the third-best ERA in the game at 3.59, and this comes with only a marginal contribution from rookie fireballer Jacob Misiorowski, who owns a 2.70 ERA in seven starts (33.1 innings). Misiorowski made his debut on June 12 and fell on the IL (left tibia contusion) after boosting Milwaukee over the Cubs on July 28. The Brewers offense, while not astounding, has compiled the second-highest cumulative batting average and on-base percentage in MLB (.259, 332). Their power numbers are far from impressive, but it’s worth mentioning that they scored 103 runs over their 12-game win streak. This includes tagging Paul Skenes for four earned runs in four innings for the second time this year. Right now, the Brewers are looking invincible. If they can maintain this momentum into the postseason, or at least perform similarly, the World Series is theirs to lose. If the Cubs have one thing on their side, it’s history. The Brewers have won the division three times in the past four years without claiming a single postseason series victory. Milwaukee made it to the postseason in five of the last six years, but never advanced past its opening round. The last time the Brewers won a postseason series was in 2018, sweeping the Colorado Rockies in the NLDS. The Brewers' awful postseason luck aside, should the two teams face off in October, the Cubs will need to play much better than they are now if they are going to win.
Raiders rookie receiver opens up on stunning position change
The Las Vegas Raiders’ training camp has featured several intriguing roster developments, but one of the most unique stories belongs to rookie wide receiver Tommy Mellott. The former Montana State football standout, drafted in the sixth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, is making the rare transition from college quarterback to NFL pass catcher. Heavy Sports’ Ethan Inman reported that Mellott discussed the move in a recent sit-down with Raiders team reporter Levi Edwards. The 23-year-old said he always suspected that his skill set might be used differently at the professional level. “I’ve had that perception that if I was going to go to the next level, I was going to be used in a unique way,” Mellott said. “I wasn’t going to be a clear-cut quarterback, but I didn’t know if I was going to be a receiver, I had no idea what it was going to be.” Mellott’s resume with the Montana State Bobcats was nothing short of prolific. A dual-threat leader nicknamed “Touchdown Tommy,” he piled up over 5,800 passing yards, 53 passing touchdowns, more than 3,500 rushing yards, and 43 rushing scores during his college career. He also led the Bobcats to the FCS championship game and collected numerous awards, including the Walter Payton Award and Big Sky Offensive MVP honors. His athletic testing at the NFL Combine — a 4.39-second 40-yard dash and a 41-inch vertical jump — showcased the explosiveness the Raiders hope to tap into. Head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Chip Kelly value versatility, and the former FCS quarterback could find his role as a rookie that contributes on offense and special teams. Currently listed as the third-string slot receiver and fourth-string return option, he has also been spotted taking gadget snaps in camp, a nod to his quarterback background. The position change has not shaken Mellott’s confidence. Instead, he views it as an opportunity to help the team in any way possible. “I just had an open mind and an open heart. It’s just whatever the will is of God and whatever I can do to help this team out.” The transition from Montana State football star to NFL receiver remains a work in progress, but Mellott’s adaptability and athleticism make him one of the more intriguing players in camp. If he can carve out a role, the Raiders may have uncovered a late-round gem who can inject energy into the roster and provide Carroll with another versatile building block for the team’s rebuild.
Bryson DeChambeau divulges Scottie Scheffler's biggest advantage
We all know Scottie Scheffler is the best golfer on the planet by a fairly large margin, but what makes him so much more consistent than other stars in professional golf? Bryson DeChambeau, one of Scheffler's biggest rivals in major championships, thinks he knows the answer. In Tuesday's appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show," DeChambeau detailed how Scheffler dominates the PGA Tour weekly. "He's got the best spin and distance control I've ever seen," DeChambeau said. "He controls the golf ball from a spin perspective so much better than everybody else. Like, if you're 175 yards out, and it's 10 miles [an hour] into the wind, he knows how to control the flight and spin to get that ball to land right next to the hole every time. Probably since Tiger [Woods], he's the best that we've seen." The stats confirm DeChambeau's breakdown. Scheffler has ranked first on the PGA Tour in strokes gained on approach in three straight seasons. He also ranks first in proximity to the hole and greens in regulation percentage over the last four years. Iron play is Scheffler's superpower, but it wasn't always that way. "I played with him in college a bunch, and I've said it before, but he's definitely improved since college for sure," DeChambeau said with a chuckle. "It's impressive to see what he's done, and we're all aspiring to do that. That's something I've gotta get better at. I can hit it farther than him. I can hit it probably straighter than him. I can make just as many putts as him, but, really, it's about my iron play right now and wedges to get a little more consistent." Iron play is the biggest indicator of success in professional golf. If you're giving yourself more birdie chances from close range than anyone in the field, you're going to have the best chance to win by Sunday afternoon. No one is better at hitting specific distances more consistently than Scheffler. Just look at how accurate he is. DeChambeau has the best chance to catch Scheffler as the best player in the world because he's elite off the tee and on the greens, but that won't happen unless he makes a major improvement to his iron game.
