Horoscope: July 12, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



You know what you want to do, and have a plan to turn those ideas into reality. True, not everybody understands. That’s no problem. However, you do need the support of certain individuals, which means finding a way to explain how those plans will work and, more importantly, benefit them.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



Being generous is wonderful but, in several situations, certain individuals have been doing far more receiving than they’ve been giving. While, often, things of that nature work out, you’re concerned. Discuss this, and frankly. Although others may intend to return these favours, it’s worthwhile asking what they have in mind, and when.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Every Full Moon brings feelings to a peak. However, while the recent one was last Sunday, you’re still wrestling with the unexpected and rather intense emotions it roused. These are worth exploring, even if the process takes time and touches on tricky issues. What you learn will more than justify the patience required.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Few things are more challenging than watching those you care about in the midst of unfair situations and being unable to do anything. Yet, on one hand, you’re short of facts and, on the other, you disagree with the approach they’re taking. That being the case, back off and leave it all to them.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Five weeks ago, the energetic Mars moved into the most reflective and strategic portion of your chart. Since then, you’ve learnt what, or who, is no longer an asset or brings you joy. This has been about decluttering your life, in preparation for dynamic period that begins on the 20th, when Mars enters Leo.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



Although you’ll be forthright when necessary, you’ll also happily take a more diplomatic approach. And judging by your ruler Mercury’s position in the most strategic portion of your chart, at the moment, you’ve no choice. Ideally, in fact, confrontations should wait until the 25th, when Mercury’s move into Virgo places you centre stage.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Over the past month or so, you made a number of pivotal decisions, some of which you’d been putting off for ages. However, a few remain. Aim to tackle these within the next seven days, simply because the actual circumstances involved are about to shift, and with them, the options available to you.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



If life’s been aggravating, especially in situations involving others, it’s no surprise. The issue hasn’t been them or you but, rather, the unspoken tensions triggered by the recent clash between the Sun and your ruler Pluto. Challenging as acknowledging these has been, at least you’re finally discussing potentially troublesome issues.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



As a fire sign, your enthusiasm for who and what you believe in is one of your most admirable characteristics. Yet it can mean that you’ll be blind to certain flaws or even very real problems. This is the case now. Tempting as it is to ignore these, they’ll only become more complicated.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



You’d think that the difference between stating your views firmly and challenging others would be clear. But one particular individual is in such a touchy mood they could misinterpret your intentions. Knowing that, explain what’s behind your words, and your objectives, then ensure what you’re saying is understood as you intended.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



Planning ahead may be a virtue. However, with the potentially life-changing Aquarius eclipsed Full Moon in three weeks’ time ushering in shifts in circumstances and, equally, alliances, what seems your best option will change, and change again. That being the case, the more flexible both your thinking and arrangements are, the better.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



It’s time to be forthright about your feelings. For ages you’ve pretended to be enthusiastic about certain activities or future plans because you knew others cared about them. Now they’re about to take them to the next stage. Say you’re delighted for them but, from now on, want to be less involved.
