July 2008
Aries
You’ve been dreaming about travel recently and this month an opportunity will come for you that you should take up. Your dreams will take you somewhere completely unexpected because when I say “travel” I don’t mean a new way of getting to work. I’m talking Botswana. Unless you live in Botswana, in which case I’m talking Bognor Regis. Romance Travel brings with it possibilities. A new and exotic place will bring a new and exotic interest into your life.
Taurus
You have been struggling at work, perhaps wondering, “Is this all there is?” Unfortunately, yes, that’s all there is. So if you’re not happy there, you need to do something about that sooner rather than later. It’s time to take that pottery class, or buy a herd of goats and weave angora sweaters. Whatever blows your hair back. Romance Your partner may be a bit startled by the goats in the living room but they will love the effect freedom is having on you.
Gemini
A financial setback may have you needlessly worried. You will come good again, you just have to budget a bit more carefully. Possibly there are certain expenses you do not really need – did you really need another pair of cork sandals/boat cover, delete whichever is not appropriate? Quite. Money is never gone for long though. Romance Umm, is this one of the areas you’ve been splashing out? You may be using money as a substitute for real communication.
Cancer
Love the new hair and the day-glo colour. Your friends may look askance but ignore them, I say. Life is short and only comes around once. What better way to celebrate it than experimenting with your hair? And while you’re here on Earth you might just as well experiment with everything. Don’t let anything hold you back this month. Romance. Sorry, I got nothin’ from the other side. What is going on? Search me. The stars are silent. Cross your fingers and take every opportunity that comes your way.
Leo
A Thursday of this month will prove interesting. A member of the opposite sex will show a sudden interest in you. This might be someone you’ve had your eye on, or a blast from the past. It’s someone familiar, anyway. Romance. What, you want more? Your romantic news seems all good this month. You must have been praying heavily to the god of love, or at least the god of sex, who is going to come across in no uncertain terms. An enjoyable month lies ahead.
Virgo
A visit from a difficult relative will leave you feeling morose and sick of this life. Try to let the feeling pass. You are an adult now and you have control over your own destiny. Difficult relatives tend to make one feel as one did when a helpless child. Let this feeling wash over you, then remember that it is only a feeling and not your destiny. Romance Your partner needs some more care and attention. You have been ignoring them a bit lately. Flowers would be nice.
Libra
You will feel that everything has been sent to try you this month at work. It will seem as though there is an obstacle in your way no matter which way you turn. Your manager’s fatuous suggestion that there are no problems, only challenges and that you should work smarter, not harder, will take you to the brink of a postal worker incident. Smother the urge to violence. AK-47s are generally frowned on in the workplace, unless you’re a jihadist. Romance. Of course, if you are a jihadist, 99 virgins probably await you this month.
Scorpio
You will come upon a memento this month that will have you reflecting on another part of your life, now long gone. While our past experiences shape us, remember that you are no longer that person. Every day changes you, like reading a book, one page a day. By now you are many chapters ahead and the story has changed dramatically. Deep, huh? I just thought of that then. Romance. Well, quite. You have the present to concentrate on, so don’t get caught up in the past.
Sagittarius
A turbulent energy in Pluto this month will bring up all sorts of uncomfortable feelings from way deep down inside of you. This will be alarming, of course, but best to feel them in all their strength rather than run away from them or pretend they’re not there. It’s always worth some self-examination. Romance Your partner, strangely, is not the cause of your strong feelings. Nevertheless your relationship will be affected by your emotions. Best to take as much care as you can.
Capricorn
A lucky break is in store for you this month. Good for you! It’s about time some luck came your way. You will be almost overwhelmed by it. Sometimes success can be even more alarming than failure. Crack open the champagne and enjoy it. Romance I hope you have a partner to drink that champagne with. If not, start making moves on the person you’ve had your eye on. Luck in one area often translates to luck in others and this is the month when everything’s going right for you.
Aquarius
You have everything under control this month, or so it seems. An unlikely turn of events may throw your best laid plans out the window, but you will be more than equal to adjusting to the new conditions. Romance Oh Lordy, what do you want me to say? You seem not to know your own mind. A sense of power comes from pulling close and pushing away. But if you’re actually interested, and want to get closer, gentleness and not power is the road you should travel. Still, what do the stars know?
Pisces
A favourable aspect to the Sun means your ego is undergoing some much needed renovations. You have had a bit of a rough trot lately but you handled it well and your restraint and maturity are paying off in new respect both at work and in your family life. This month will be considerably calmer than previous months. Romance You can reach a new level in your relationship if you pay attention to what your partner has been telling you for some time. They need you to listen and respond.
