YOUR HOROSCOPE

It’s time to turn your attention from your personal life to more practical concerns. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly find that you can analyse a complex situation so accurately, you not only make sense of it, but you’re able to turn it to your advantage. Rewards coming your way will be well-deserved.

LEO

24 JULY – 23 AUGUST

It’s time to turn your attention from your personal life to more practical concerns. Don’t be surprised if you suddenly find that you can analyse a complex situation so accurately, you not only make sense of it, but you’re able to turn it to your advantage. Rewards coming your way will be well-deserved. 

VIRGO 

24 AUGUST – 23 SEPTEMBER

A series of events that you’ve been secretive about will intrigue people close by. Under the influence of the Solar Eclipse on 11 August, you may decide that it’s time to disclose what you know. Provided you can’t be accused of betrayal, look forward to feeling relieved that a burden has been lifted from your shoulders. 

LIBRA 

24 SEPTEMBER – 23 OCTOBER

Routine family issues may have suffered through your lack of motivation. However, a sudden surge of energy around mid-August will lift your spirits and reassure loved ones who have been worried about your apathetic mood. They, and you, should soon begin to feel a great deal better about the situation. 

SCORPIO 

24 OCTOBER – 22 NOVEMBER 

People steering you towards the spotlight merely want whatever’s best for you. Try not to be too critical of them when they urge you to take on new—and possibly fairly huge—challenges. Perhaps they see something positive in you that you either deny or find threatening. It’s well worth thinking about it. 

SAGITTARIUS 

23 NOVEMBER – 21 DECEMBER

Take care as you decide to reshape aspects of financial or professional dealings that have fallen into a bit of a slump. As retrograde Mars reverses into Capricorn, you’ll be inclined to go in for some root and branch pruning that could do more harm than good. Any impetuosity on your part must be curtailed.

CAPRICORN 

22 DECEMBER - 20 JANUARY 

Mistakes made in the past by yourself or others have no doubt been a disincentive in terms of money- making or business affairs. It should be quite refreshing to find that a number of plans being discussed are virtually guaranteed to be foolproof. Feel free to engage with them wholeheartedly. 

AQUARIUS 

21 JANUARY – 19 FEBRUARY

A journey or venture that captures your imagination could turn out to be quite costly. That needn’t put you off, however, provided you go to whatever lengths necessary to prove that you’ll get more out of it than you put in. Do your sums and get them right. 

PISCES 

20 FEBRUARY – 20 MARCH 

Glitches have hampered your progress in terms of work or other responsibilities. This may even have disrupted your sense of well-being. So it’s important to acknowledge that from 19 August, you can move forward confidently and bring a successful conclusion to whatever has been delayed or derailed. 

ARIES 

21 MARCH – 20 APRIL 

Every now and again, you might enjoy taking a gamble on an arrangement that seems exciting but which could bankrupt you if it goes wrong. Be careful not to become reckless in early August, when you will mistakenly think you can have some fun without paying a huge price in the end. 

TAURUS 

21 APRIL – 21 MAY

Not everyone will agree with your view on somebody you find appealing. However, you mustn’t be put off. A Neptune-Jupiter link is bringing out a fanciful, extremely optimistic streak in you. Let it happen but promise yourself you won’t go into a state of collapse if the eventual outcome is quite different from what you want. 

GEMINI 

22 MAY – 21 JUNE 

By pushing yourself hard, you’ll achieve a tremendous amount within territory that others find daunting. However, you mustn’t get carried away with feelings of victory to the point where you decide you’re invincible. You, like everybody else, have your weak points and they must be acknowledged when they surface. 

CANCER 

22 JUNE – 23 JULY 

Having experienced some disappointment over material matters recently, you might wonder whether you can summon up the courage to speculate on something similar in the near future. So it’s good that you’re being steered towards a deal that could bring out the best in you. It’s one you should confront head-on.
