Horoscope: July 14, 2016
Your stars today
With so much in transition, and so rapidly, opportunities are appearing in many forms. Some are predictable but a few will be so unexpected that, unless you’re alert, they could easily pass you by. Knowing that, both examine what’s coming your way and review recent events with an eye to spotting these.
Taurus | April 20 – May 20
Now that both Mercury and your ruler Venus have moved to accent the structure of your life, the focus shifts to your domestic or working setup. This means discussing and, in fact, seriously considering changes that, only recently, you wouldn’t even acknowledge as a possibility. They’re now timely, if not urgent.
Gemini | May 21 – June 20
At the moment you’re not even considering the ideas or offers that have aroused such enthusiasm in others. This is mostly because you’ve dealt with similar situations in the past and were badly burnt by the people or ideas concerned. Get involved and you’ll soon realise these are not at all the same.
Cancer | June 21 – July 22
Try not to take the seemingly dismissive or even difficult attitude of others too much to heart. This is more about them than you. For
now, do and say nothing. The less attention you pay to it, the better. Unlikely as it feels now, in time, you may forget it entirely.
Leo | July 23 – August 22
Unsettling as sudden changes in plans are, at the moment, there’s no avoiding them. On the contrary, the more frequently you rearrange things, the better chance you have of riding out this particularly unsettling period. As you proceed, you’ll learn to recognise the promise these changes bring with them.
Virgo | August 23 – September 22
Don’t be surprised if those you’ve trusted suddenly make changes in arrangements you struggled to organise. It’s true, these would benefit from a rethink. But also, where you’ll work hard to plan things perfectly, so there’s no need for alterations, others regard even a series of changes as normal.
Libra | September 23 – October 22
There is no way around certain contentious issues. There may be several or, equally, it could be there’s only one matter in question. The real problem is everybody who’s involved views it as theirs to discuss and deal with. Listen politely but then quietly do what you think is best.
Scorpio | October 23 – November 21
Judging by the current exciting but unsettled planetary setup, both existing plans and new arrangements are unlikely to last. Knowing that, do something out of character and keep things loose. That is, forget about the details and concentrate on the big picture. It will make your life a lot easier.
Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21
Even the closest of alliances has its ups and downs. You first experienced that long ago and have been reminded of that truth often since then. Still, recent events and the attitude of certain individuals has strained your relations to the breaking point. For now, back off. It’s the best option.
Capricorn | December 22 – January 19
Time with loved ones is always precious. This is especially the case now, with so much that’s unsettling overshadowing even stable elements of your life. The fact is, these would benefit from change. The first step is recognising those seemingly worrying developments as introducing worthwhile ideas and promise for the future.
Aquarius | January 20 – February 17
Early this year the dynamic but impatient Mars moved to accent the structure of your life, and especially your activities out in the world. Since then you’ve discussed and, possibly already made, exciting changes. Yet you’re still questioning others. Make your move soon, ideally before early August, when Mars moves on.
Pisces | February 18 – March 19
It’s easy to be hurt by others’ thoughtlessness. The irony is, it’s rare anybody actually intends to cause upset. Often these feelings are the result of them being inattentive. Just as much, the issue could be your mistaken expectations. Whatever the case, the most powerful decision is to put those feelings behind you.
