Horoscopes: 16 – 22 July 2013

ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
Avoiding emotional manipulations can be tricky, although some genuine feelings may have been audible amongst the white noise of inflated sentiments. Thankfully Mercury goes direct this week, clearing up misunderstandings.

TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
Communications will be plentiful, exciting and motivating with boisterous Mars hot on Jupiter’s tail. The feelings you share with others will play a big part in the success of important talks, negotiations or meetings. Practise sympathy not anger.

GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
Your ruler begins his direct motion after a peculiar stint of financial uncertainty and trepidation. You’re well equipped to show adequate competence in the resolution and execution of your purpose, nothing can stop you.

CANCER {June 22–July 22}
It won’t be at all surprising if promises made to you or you to others get dropped now that you’re starting to see a little clearer than you were during the Mercury retrograde period. You can put right anything that was wrong with ease.

LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
The Full Moon in your opposite sign of Aquarius at the very end of this week is your yearly chance to look into the heart of a relationship matter and strive to readdress the balance. This week is the start of a new phase of enhanced vitality and it’s only the beginning.

VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
You can really learn a lot about the true nature of relationships as Neptune helps you see that there are many realities which can be perceived as real. Compromise is not the same as giving in. You’re destined to meet a new set of friends.

LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
With Mercury now in direct motion and a cluster of heavenly hosts gathering at the top of your chart, it’s full steam ahead on the professional front. Do say yes to new opportunities and be ready to take a risk in that regard.

SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
With concentrated Saturn teaming up with go-getting Mars, the combination is good for achieving strenuous tasks which require a great deal of sustained gusto to get done. Maintaining stability in daily life can be a challenge.

SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
When you want something to get done, who are going to call? Taking the initiative leads to great success, while it may be happening in secret, you can be sure it is happening. Love that starts this week is going to have a dramatic impact on you.

CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
Partners may take centre stage and be all kinds of crazy, but hopefully in a good way! Capricorn needs to surround himself with excitable people so to ensure his success at getting motivated to start things. If a partner is more on the aggressive side of assertive, that’s a short term influence.

AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
The Full Moon at the end of the week is in your sign. Ta Da!! Aquarians born in the latter part of January will be most affected. Emotional undercurrents subtly make their way to the surface, remember, if you’re with someone who makes you feel rotten, you can always leave.

PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
Love is getting interesting, there’s a nice cocktail of passion, excitement and comfort all kind of rolling about the place and making the temperature rise. Emotional drama could play out if someone’s not been playing fair. If you have children, they too may be testing the boundaries.
