Aries Mar21-Apr20

Surely you don’t have time to sit around reading your horoscope? With Mars, your ruler, in your sign for the entire month of July, you’re under pressure to get ahead, go faster, try harder and take less time to relax. No. Rather than allowing yourself to be wound up into a frenzy, you can galvanise the gift of energy you’re being given and direct it calmly and confidentl­y into the areas of your life that need change. Don’t be driven by deadlines. The more time you take, the more success will follow. What’s the best way to ensure your success this month?

Taurus Apr21- May21

Many of the people who look into the future believe in reincarnat­ion. Personally, I’m not sure; it might happen, it might not. If the concept that there will be something better happening in the next life leads us to put up with second-best in this one, it doesn’t seem like a healthy way to approach this lifetime. Conversely, thinking that things are tricky because of what we’ve done in the past isn’t particular­ly helpful either. When July brings a once-in-a-lifetime opportunit­y your way, don’t hesitate. How can you stay focused and happy in this crazy world?

Gemini May22-Jun22

When life is like a bowl of cherries, full of sweetness, we can cope with any problems that crop up. Yet appearance­s can be deceiving. Just because someone is surrounded by success and wealth doesn’t mean they’re content with their lives. Being happy takes more than power or money, and is much more valuable. Plus, when we experience happiness, we somehow attract what we need into our world. This month, with Venus in your sign, prioritise your wellbeing and everything else will follow.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

The world is filled with mysteries we’re unlikely ever to solve, and questions that are impossible to answer. Since we’re aware of this, we manage to find ways to overlook complex paradoxes and accept things the way they are without questionin­g them. This sometimes manifests into turning a blind eye to what’s going on in our own lives. This month, when a key person in your world stirs up uncertaint­y and confusion, simply step back. Hypothetic­al questions don’t have to become real. Your month-ahead forecast contains inspiring news.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

There’s no point wasting time engaging in a futile debate this month. There are more important things to focus on. Even if you’re drawn into an argument that feels important, there’s a strong chance that you’ll be wasting your time and energy getting wrapped up in an avoidable drama. July brings opportunit­ies for constructi­ve change. In order to maximise the chances that come your way your discrimina­tory powers are being called for. Focus on what seems simple, clear and worthy of your time.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

Finding yourself at the edge of a metaphoric­al cliff can be exhilarati­ng. A sense of false confidence can make us venture close to the edge. Conversely, making important life decisions often induces anxiety. Recent events are making you wonder where you stand vis-à-vis an important situation or relationsh­ip. But just because the ground under your feet feels less secure doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong. Trust what inspires you this month. And take your time when you feel uncertain.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

Rules and magic don’t sit well together. In order for magical things to occur there needs to be space for creativity and impulsivit­y; spontaneou­s laughter and a willingnes­s to embrace uncertaint­y. This month, if you allow yourself to relax, and step back from trying to control challengin­g situations, magic can happen in your world. If you find a way to be grateful for what feels impermanen­t, hard to understand, even troublesom­e and problemati­c, it’s in these areas that transforma­tion can be found.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

Can one new idea make a real difference? Well, it depends on what it is, who has it and how much it’s needed. Throughout July, you’ll be presented with situations that enable you to build on recent past challenges, turning them into cornerston­es that support you in a positive way. Things aren’t how they used to be, and they won’t be the same again. As long as you have confidence in your ideas about your future direction, you’re being blessed with the impetus to take you to a new and brighter place. There’s hope on the horizon.

Sagittariu­s Nov23- Dec21

“Success”, it’s said, often comes down to “who you know rather than what you know”. Of course, there’s an element of truth in this; good connection­s are always helpful. This month, as you begin to appreciate how well connected you are, the positivity you’re beginning to feel about a new venture will enable you to change a situation for the better. You just need to speak quietly into the right ear. As long as you ensure that you’ve carefully considered your needs and make a fair request, you’ll get the help you need.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

Sometimes, being “smart” involves using your powers to discrimina­te and draw on past experience to influence situations that need to be smoothed out. There are other times when it’s better to simply accept what’s unfolding. There will be times in July when standing back, and allowing other people to call the shots will be to your advantage. Reducing the levels of stress you’re under will not only allow you to recuperate, it will enable you to do things the way you want to do them in the very near future.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

Arguments are much harder to get out of than they are to get into; and when solutions first appear, they’re often an uncomforta­ble fit. Like new shoes, they need stretching and squeezing into before we feel at home in them. Just because something is challengin­g doesn’t mean that it’s “wrong”. Neither is there any point getting into a dispute just because someone holds the opposite position to you. Mars enables you to find constructi­ve ways to move ahead in July. You just need to look for them. The planets bring inspiring energy your way in July.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

Your ability to adapt and flow with situations gives you a natural resilience and a remarkable way of dealing with pressure. It enables you to push forwards and accomplish things that other people would not be able to complete. Yet the turmoil you’ve recently been through has left you feeling exhausted. No wonder you’re tired and ready for a rest. The good news is that the cosmos brings you a reason to feel jubilant this month. As the reasons for worry are resolved, things are about to get much easier.
