Horoscope: July 27, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18

Being a fire sign, and somebody who’ll stand up for what you believe in, conflicts rarely bother you. However, certain increasingly complex issues are brewing, and you can’t help but worry about the dramas they’ll trigger, especially in already tense situations. Ironically, these could lead to timely, and necessary, breakthroughs.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19

You may be glossing over differences you fear could become real problems, in the hope it will all pass. But that’s highly unlikely. Rather, judging by next week’s clash between Jupiter and the underhand Pluto, there’s only one way they’ll be resolved, and that’s by addressing them in the most forthright manner possible.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20

Many Geminis live a life in which they’re constantly out and about. Still, there are few things you enjoy more than relaxing comfortably settled at home. It’s a setting where you’re not only able to review what you’ve done and who you’ve met, it’s also a place where you can reconnect with yourself.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21

Be wary of those who have sob stories to tell you. While, ordinarily, you’ve a sound instinct for when these are true versus more about rousing sympathy, with so much in transition, your instincts aren’t as sound as usual. The trick is to show interest but put off any decisions, at least or the moment.

Leo | July 22 – August 21

It’s the rare Leo who’ll do something just because they’re told to. You need an explanation or good reason to tackle the matters that, previously, were of little interest or importance to you. What you learn over the coming days won’t just be informative, those facts could revolutionise your thinking.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21

Sometimes you can get even very stubborn individuals to go along with your ideas by making suggestions, listening as they disagree, but saying nothing. Soon they’ll begin to adopt the ideas you mentioned, convinced these are their own. And, soon after that, they’ll be quoting you but, of course, won’t realise it.

Libra | September 22 – October 22

While you, as a Libra, have a strong admiration for those who’re able to be tough yet gracious at the same time, you also find them intimidating. Yet judging by the current planetary setup, this is exactly how you’ll need to approach a range of very tricky situations. This won’t be easy but it is definitely do-able.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21

Watching arrangements you worked hard to organise slipping away isn’t easy. Yet your instincts are correctly telling you that these will no longer be as significant as they once were, at least in your life. Unsettling as the thought is, you’ve long sensed that a change of this nature was inevitable.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20

When you first discussed your ideas about plans and those of others, there was a big gap. Now that you’ve talked things over, that gap has closed but still, certain details remain a source of conflict. Bizarrely, it’s worth delving into these, with an eye to discovering how best to sidestep them.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18

Only days ago, you’d have refused even to think of making certain fundamental changes in your way of living or working. Yet now that you’ve learnt more about what’s behind the situation and those changes being suggested, you’re beginning to recognise how much you’d learn in the process of tackling these.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17

When you first formed your views about several increasingly contentious situations, it was a long time ago. So long that, initially, you won’t understand why things seem so out of kilter. The simple fact is, it’s time that you updated your opinions and, therefore, your way of approaching the matters in question.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Once again, the best method for outwitting one particularly challenging individual isn’t by confronting them. Instead, point out the problems their plans would lead to. True, this will take longer, at least at the moment. But in the future, you’ll manage to sidestep battles as time consuming as they are tedious.
