Your Horoscope for Monday, July 22

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★★ You might feel as if your efforts will bring their just rewards. A matter you have been subtly trying to work out might come to a conclusion earlier in the day.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Trust your instincts and make important calls to touch base with key people in your life early on. The results could be better than you thought possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ You have been painfully aware of a monetary situation but have also made a decision not to head in a certain direction. You might rethink your decision today.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You might be feeling much more centered emotionally, but do not be surprised if a possessive facet of your personality emerges in the next 24 hours.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Of late, you might have felt a little down. You will enjoy witnessing an innate upswing of mood and energy today or in the near future. You will feel able to take on a new project you have been eyeing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ You can be remarkably restrained and selfdisciplined. Nevertheless, you cannot always stay disciplined. If a dear friend or loved one teases you into a somewhat more lavish few moments, do not worry.
