Horoscope: July 15, 2016

Your stars today

Aries | March 20 – April 19



There’s no arguing the fact that certain arrangements or, possibly, alliances with individuals have been a persistent source of aggravation. Your efforts to untangle these have come to little. Tempting as it is to cut all ties and move on, you’d regret it. The solution? Adopt an uncharacteristically patient approach.

Taurus | April 20 – May 20



Forget about shoring up plans that only recently seemed solid and stable. They were. But with a series of aspects involving Uranus, planet of the unexpected, spanning the period from last week until the end of the month, twists and turns are inevitable. While they’re unsettling, they’re introducing timely breakthroughs.

Gemini | May 21 – June 20



While nobody could possibly have anticipated the events currently shaking up existing arrangements and future plans, these ideas have been in the air for ages. It’s just neither you nor those around you have taken them seriously. Still, you’ve probably picked up enough information that you’ll know what to do next.

Cancer | June 21 – July 22



Don’t be surprised if you must rethink, if not substantially alter, a variety of plans, some longstanding, others more recent. These changes are all down to the series of aspects that involve the planet of both the unexpected and innovation, Uranus. Knowing that, rather than battling those changes, embrace them.

Leo | July 23 – August 22



Obviously, making rapid and worthwhile progress appeals. However, you’re beginning to realise that before you can concentrate on the new ideas and plans you have in mind, you must let go of some from the past. A few are outdated. But others are devouring your time yet giving little in return.

Virgo | August 23 – September 22



Between now and the end of the month, when your ruler Mercury moves into Virgo, triggering a decisive cycle, you’ve some thinking to do. This is good timing, as the current planetary emphasis is on the variety of deep inner questioning and addressing anxieties that you usually ignore in hope they’ll vanish.

Libra | September 23 – October 22



Don’t be surprised if you discover that, in certain situations, your intentions have been completely misunderstood. Waste no time apologising or trying to figure out where things went wrong. That will only confuse matters. Instead, focus on what your plans are and what you’ll do to ensure they happen.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



Did somebody you care about say or do something hurtful, so much you feel you can’t mention it? Do exactly that. The odds are good you’ll realise there’s been a colossal misunderstanding. Had you said nothing, it would only have got worse. Talking things through will resolve problems within minutes.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 21



For ages you’ve put off dealing with tricky business or financial matters, now mostly because of that, they’re as puzzling as they are complex. However, Tuesday’s Full Moon brings these to a head. Gather your facts and those heed whose guidance you value, and you’ll be ready for whatever comes your way.

Capricorn | December 22 – January 19



Many Capricorns find the process of organising their day, and often the weeks and months ahead, reassuring. It’s as if, in putting those plans in place, you’re overcoming doubts or fears about the unexpected. Yet at the moment, sudden changes aren’t just inevitable, they could prove to be in your best interests.

Aquarius | January 20 – February 17



You adore a lively exchange of ideas, but quickly tire of those who’re all talk and no action. Yet now, with the actual circumstances you’re dealing with shifting, and undermining plans, you’ve no choice but to adopt that philosophy. Move too swiftly and you’ll need to undo what you’ve just done.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



There are many ways to say the single word ‘no’. At the moment you’re dealing with a range of situations that require a very different approach to making it clear how you feel. While often that ‘no’ is about a delay, where you mean that exactly, ensure others know it.
