Horoscope 7-5-2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



By no means are you narrow minded. Yet once you’ve made a decision about a certain place, activity or arrangement, you see little point in reviewing that. However, now that your ruler Mars is in the inquisitive Gemini, it’s not only time to broaden your horizons, the process could be remarkably rewarding.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



The term ‘final decision’ means different things to different people. To you, as a Taurus and an earth sign, it signifies you’ve ended a lengthy period of discussion and have made a plan. However, somebody you’re currently dealing with regards this as but one point in a series of conversations.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Unlikely as it seems, based on the past week’s events, you’re in the midst of an exciting period of growth. It’s just you’ve had to shed a few arrangements that have become increasingly burdensome. Yet you’ve a strong sentimental attachment to them. Let go. It will make a huge difference.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



It’s time to be bold. Possibly in a way you’ve been avoiding recently, mostly because the actual circumstances in question have been in such disarray you had no idea where to begin. Now that the tide’s turning, events are making those decisions for you, and in an unexpectedly clever way.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



While you’re an independent spirit, you adore the company of friends, colleagues and family and so try to involve them in your activities, personal and otherwise. At the moment, however, one particular matter requires your attention, and yours alone. The sooner you tackle it, the more swiftly it will be dealt with.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



The phrase ‘final plan’ has an appealing ring to it, mostly because you’ve invested so much time getting things organised and fine tuning the details. Still, put off any celebrations because the foundation on which those plans are based will shift, dramatically but wonderfully, before the end of the month.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



It’s rare that anybody irritates you so much you snap back at their remarks. Yet certain individuals have a talent for that. Usually, you’re able to restrain yourself, and avoid saying things you’d regret. Now, however, a few frank words, spoken in a straightforward manner, may be exactly what’s needed.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



As a canny Scorpio, you’re able to sense that good news is coming or that soon there’ll be opportunities in the air, even if there’s no concrete evidence of them. The only problem is this makes it difficult to discuss matters with others. Be patient. The outcome will more than justify the wait.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



Although Mercury’s retrograde cycle concluded last Wednesday, you’re still experiencing the fallout in terms of errors and misunderstandings. It’s true, these take time to clear up. Obviously, you’d rather move on to other things. However, you’ll discover that what you learn in the process is so informative it’s worth a little disruption.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Planning ahead may be a virtue. During the month of May, however, if you’re too organised you could complicate your life. While you can’t avoid making plans, during unsettled periods such as this is, you can ensure what you arrange is flexible enough to adapt to those changes as they arise.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



As a logical air sign, it’s natural to think through ideas and future plans yourself, seek the views of others and merge them together. Only after that will you pay much attention to your intuition, which can be powerful and perceptive. For the moment, give those feelings equal time and attention.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Few situations are more worrying than ones in which you’ve no choice but to disappoint those you care about. Certain individuals are beyond excited about ideas or ventures they believe will be profitable, thrilling or both. You know different and must stop them before damage is done. It’s not easy but it’s vital.
