HOROSCOPE

JUNE 21–JULY 22

It’s your birthday month, dear Cancer, and you are empowered. With Venus in your sign, you are charming and attractive to everyone in your patch. Please note: This is the perfect month to go shopping and buy some investment pieces (have fun!), even if cheques in the mail are late. By August, you’ll have

the green light in financial matters—all is well.

Scorpio OCT. 23–NOV. 21

Grab a jet to explore the world or jump in the car and watch those views go by because you want to go places in July. Travel and talk to people from other countries; be a tourist in your own city, at least. In August, with the Sun at the top of your chart, you’ll find that everyone admires you. Use this power for the

good of others as well as yourself.

Pisces FEB. 19–MARCH 20

July is “play city” for Pisces. Book a vacation because you want to have fun but also because job-related issues will suffer from Mercury retrograde (in the form of delays, mistakes, goofy errors and mixed-up communications). Yes, this is the perfect month to blow town. By August, you’ll be back in the saddle:

Efficiency is your middle name.

Sagittarius NOV. 22–DEC. 21

July might challenge your travel plans. Mercury retrograde will cause delays and silly errors, so double-check details

to minimize mistakes and protect yourself. On the plus side, it’s a good month to deal with banks. In August, go ahead and travel for pleasure and work. In fact, a romance with someone from another country might blossom.

Aries MARCH 21–APRIL 19

You want to cocoon at home in July. Old flames are back in the picture, so when you do go out, make sure you look fabulous. (Living well is the best revenge.) By August, you’ll be in the clear. This is a fabulous month for romance, vacations and socializing. Grab every chance to see a play, a movie, whatever—just get out there.

Capricorn DEC. 22–JAN. 19

Relationships are more important in July, perhaps because discussions about old business regarding shared property and inheritances are back on the table. This is your chance for a second kick at the can. By August, financial matters will be in your best interests. This is a great month to go for a mortgage, because people will be generous.

Taurus APRIL 20–MAY 20

In July, the tempo of your days is fastpaced and you’re busy busy. Even events at home require more effort, because relatives might be camped on your doorstep. (Stock the fridge.) Small wonder you’ll need to chill at home in August after the dust settles. Enjoy redecorating your digs and entertaining. Keep an eye out for real-estate deals.

Leo JULY 23–AUG. 22

There are conflicting messages in July: You want to hide and keep things low-key, yet fiery Mars in your sign is boosting your energy and making you proactive. Perhaps this is because issues with ex-loves are back on your plate? Fortunately, by August, the Sun and Venus join Mars in your

sign and make you shine.

Virgo AUG. 23–SEPT. 22

In July, you love the company of friends.

Group settings (including business conferences) will be favourable. Even romance will be mellow. Say yes if you are asked to head a committee or be on the board of a club. (They want your organizational skills.) A flirtation will make you pull in your reins in August; you’ll want to be on the down-low.

Libra SEPT. 23–OCT. 22

This is a powerful summer for Libra. In July, bosses, parents and VIPs admire you. Whatever the case, go after what you want because doors will open for you, even if you don’t do anything special. By August, your popularity will increase even more. (How is that even possible?) Everyone loves you!

Just don’t let it go to your head.

Aquarius JAN. 20–FEB. 18

Be patient with others, especially ex-partners who are back in your life. Consider this an opportunity for closure or a chance to do it right. Fortunately, your priorities in July are to work more efficiently and be productive. You want to get organized! If you succeed, you’ll be super-confident in your

relationships in August.

Gemini MAY 21–JUNE 20

In July, you’re focused on money and cash flow; Mercury retrograde could trip you up (ugh), so be sure to doublecheck important details. Travel delays

and car problems are also likely. The good news? By August, you’ll be out there talking to everyone. Enjoy the beauty of your surroundings and

the affection of others.
