LEO
23 July – 22 August
It looks like you have a rival—someone just as powerful and charismatic as you are. Should you be worried? No. If you avoid direct confrontation and give yourself time to get used to each other, you will see that your preferred territories don’t overlap. Eventually, you will grow to respect each other, and may even become good friends. Play it gently and see what happens.

VIRGO
23 August - 22 September
At the end of June, you tried to do several things at once and keep everybody happy. Early July puts you under even more pressure, but only for a day, and then life becomes much quieter. Don’t be tempted to go back and make changes to the things you’ve done. They’re over, so let them go. Give yourself some time to recover.

LIBRA
23 September - 22 October
Your good nature could work against you this month. In the spirit of being helpful, you volunteer for a job that nobody wants—but it is a dead end which may hold back your career prospects. You need to get out of this situation as soon as you can and think more about yourself than about others. Mid-July offers you a way to escape. Take it, quickly.
SCORPIO
23 October - 22 November
As the outer planets lose momentum this month, you may find yourself starting to drift a little. It’s okay to put aside long-term ambitions while you deal with more immediate concerns, but don’t forget about them completely. Even if you can only advance them by a bit, it’s still worth doing. Planetary alignments on the 22nd will help.
SAGITTARIUS
23 November - 21 December
Fantasies always seem better than real life. If you get the chance to make one come true, it is never as you had hoped. Neptune, the planet of inspiration and illusion, is active right now—but it’s trying to show you that what you have is better than what you imagined—if only you saw its value. Don’t be led by others; stick with what you know.
CAPRICORN
22 December - 20 January
A few months ago, you were very keen on a closer collaboration, but now you are pulling back. Perhaps you were carried away by the mood of the moment, and now you’ve had time to think about it, you’re less sure. The other person isn’t asking much but any relationship needs two people. So if you’re set on no, it isn’t going to happen.
AQUARIUS
21 January - 19 February
We all want to improve our lives, but we rarely do it unless pushed by external events, which may be what happens now. Dealing with the crisis, whatever it is, won’t take long, but the incident will put your life into perspective: You have less time than you thought. Within a week, you will have made far-reaching decisions. A new life awaits.
PISCES
20 February - 20 March
At the bottom of your to-do list are one or two items that never get removed, but also never get done. They have no practical value, which is why you don’t prioritise them; but they do have a personal meaning. That’s also why you need to do them—to experience them, enjoy them, and remember them later.
ARIES
21 March - 20 April
You are being overly cautious, weighing the likely cost and consequences of your every move, which is holding you back. Thinking ahead is good, but now you expect problems rather than successes. Luckily, mid-July brings new ideas and helps restore your old confidence. Ignore an upset on the 20th and carry on.
TAURUS
21 April – 21 May
Go to the same restaurant and order the same thing, and you’ll always know what you’re going to get. If you go somewhere new, you might like it better. Even if you don’t, it’ll still have been a worthwhile experience. This month makes you two offers. One is very familiar, the other all new. Go for the one you haven’t tried before.
GEMINI
22 May – 21 June
When you first started in your present role, it was wonderful—but not as much now. Just as you think it’s time to go, you are told that you could stay until next year, if you wanted. Nothing is fixed after discussions— and that should tell you something. Your original instincts were right.
CANCER
22 June – 22 July
Do you end your relationship if someone you care for does something unacceptable? Or do you ask yourself whether your boundaries need to be more flexible? As the outer planets slip back a little over the next few weeks, you will find that you have more tolerance. Rewrite your own rules and standards: Softer is better.
