10 – 16 July 2012

ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
While emotions are reaching a peak, you have to remember to put things into a long-term context. Things are going your way but you know there’s some emotional baggage that needs to be shed, it may cause drama but will be better out in the open.

TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
There are always lessons about love to be learned. Is love by its very nature amoral? You will get many different opportunities to answer that over the coming week. Step up that fitness regime now as energetic Mars gives you added drive to get yourself looking sleek.

GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
Trips or conversations that take you out of your everyday surroundings could turn out to have a romantic undertone. It helps that you’re looking good and feeling positive. Stop putting off that course of study that you’re contemplating and sign up.

CANCER {June 22–July 22}
It’s no good being emotional about it, you’ve got to get the right boundaries in place to get a sense of equilibrium, not just in your personal life, but professionally as well. A secret that you learn in love helps you play a long game.

LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
Loyalty bubbles under the surface of every relationship as far as you’re concerned, but now you can afford to be a bit more generous about another’s foolish verbal indiscretions. Take it as a compliment, not the betrayal of your confidence.

VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
It’s all a question of taste; try to be a bit more experimental with your romantic choice or even about décor. There’s far more on offer than you would usually allow yourself. A dramatic change of diet could really change your mood and perk up your system.

LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
Sometimes it’s rather charming the way you beat around the bush, but you need to let someone know what your romantic agenda is. You can be slightly more assertive about expressing your desire without losing your elegance. Truth is better than fantasy.

SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
You could feel things are slipping through your fingertips, which is not a comfortable place to be for someone who likes to keep everything under control. When it comes to a professional issue or romantic desire, maybe you just have
to loosen up a little?

SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
Group activities or any kind of forum is a great place for you to take centre stage. Get that idea across now! Partners are looking particularly attractive and their long term plans (while being overly-optimistic) might still be going in the right direction.

CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
Change is on the cards as you’re getting things into context and a radical long-term plan is evolving. It’s your relationship to your own emotions, which will now be called into question, don’t let unfortunate outcomes from the past undermine or taint the present.

AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
It’s a great month to talk to your partner as an extra buzz in your romantic life can help you reach new highs previously undreamed. However unusual the demands of a partner are, they’re really asking you to take the long term into account.

PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
This is a very creative period if you can stop moping about an old situation which has long since past. There is a whole new future before you, romantically, domestically, professionally. By accepting change you can feel re-empowered.
