Horoscopes: 8 July 2014
ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
This week begins with the potentially stark realisation that in order to move forwards, some ties to the past must be allowed to sever. The place that you previously identified with may now seem alien to this new you, which is emerging regenerated.
TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
You have the stamina and the self assertion to break the back of work projects, ideally without the looming, watchful eye of authority figures. You may be working better on your own now, but when you need others, you’re going to wish you nurtured those relationships.
GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
Venus, the goddess of erotic passions, makes a positive alliance with the zodiac’s answer to Hasselhoff: Mars. Not only can romance bloom, but all positive relations are given an extra boost. A change of feeling has knock on effects to your perspective after the 13th.
CANCER {June 22–July 22}
Illumination and a sudden change in pace may prompt you to branch out or keep a low profile. Both would be reactionary, when what is called for is a mere change in attitude. If you can change that, you’ll change the game.
LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
No amount of keeping a low profile will enable you to escape the clash of wills that is bound to surface this week. Any ego attachment to idealistic causes may come up against opposition from the cold hard facts of day; the real world may be trying to teach you a lesson.
VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
Your ruler changes sign on the 13th from the hardwired mercurial agility of Gemini into the subtle (and deeply concerned with personal feelings) sign of Cancer. Personal relations, especially with friends and like-minded people, take on a special significance.
LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
Some good news can arrive from further afield as your ruler Venus is primed to help you see the bigger picture. Thinking beyond your usual limitations may serve to propel you to further activities, enabling you to make a big impression.
SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
Self doubt has its place if the inquiring mind seeks to uncover the truth behind a personal sense of failure. However, sometimes taking a step back without allowing negativity to creep in can be the launch pad for a huge step forward, so prepare to think long term. Keep being positive.
SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
As you’re going to be more aware of the undercurrents and other peoples feelings, this could be a good time to dig deeper on your quest to unearth a mystery surrounding a financial issue, or an intimate relationship.
CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
You’ve come full cycle where one relationship is concerned. The full Moon in your sign is your time to better understand your inner world of longings, dreams and feelings. Being that you tend to keep those things private, it may be helpful to let them out, as others will be more receptive.
AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
Your ruler is squared by the eminent Sun. Thinking in a new way helps you to redefine more than a personal sense of identity, but your job role may change as a consequence. You may be on the receiving end of some upsetting news, disrupting your routine.
PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
It’s hard to rely on the financial weather forecast, as it seems that the minute you think you have found your footing, the rug gets pulled out from under you. It makes sense to be cautious when faced with commitments to recreation that may lean on your resources.
