HOROSCOPES
By Shelley Von Strucknel
FOR JULY
CAPRICORN
December 21 – January 19
Ordinarily you’d respond to the pivotal
events of July’s first ten days swiftly
and decisively, your objective being to
get things dealt with and move on to
whatever is next. Take that approach and
you’ll regret it. Between the heightened
feelings and insights triggered by
the Capricorn Full Moon on the 12th,
your perspective will shift – in some
situations, radically. And with the
circumstances of others in transition
during the month’s second half, you’ll
be rethinking elements of your life you’ve
regarded as unchanging.
AQUARIUS
January 20 – February 17
For months, you’ve been dealing with
upheaval in several areas of your life.
While some has been a nuisance,
looking back, you now recognise
even very disruptive developments as
breakthroughs, personally, in close
relationships and activities out in the
world. So when similar events arise
in early July, you’ll realise these, too,
could be profitable. True, much of
what’s happening isn’t your choice and,
so, is worrying. Yet it’s soon clear even
unsettling changes are taking you into
new, and intriguing, territory.
PISCES
February 18 – March 19
After the chaos of June, you’re hoping
for calm. It will come. But you’ve lots
of decisions to make about past
arrangements, changes, what you want
to continue with and, more important,
who and what to say farewell to. The last-
mentioned isn’t easy, because in some
cases you fear you’ll be abandoning
the individual or situation in question.
You won’t be, as you’ll soon discover.
What’s more, life’s offering you exciting
new passions and you’ll want to be free
to pursue them.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
July’s big question is what, and who, is
worth your time? As a Gemini, you’re
always up to date on the latest and are
a magnet for those who’re intriguing. Yet
these interests canmean you sometimes
ignore pivotal but dull practicalities. Now
they’re not just important; unexpected
developments could mean they’re also
unexpectedly rewarding. Explore every
idea or offer that comes your way, ask
tough questions, then be prepared to
make swift decisions. Within weeks,
you’ll be benefitting from what you do.
ARIES
March 20 – April 19
The year’s first half has been about
relationships in all forms, with family,
friends and loved ones, and those
who’re a regular part of your life. This
began in late 2013, when your ruler
Mars moved to accent all such links. It
departs on 26 July; before then, focus on
anything that’s undone or unspoken –
issues, but also wonderful thoughts and
feelings you want to share with others
but never have time for. Do it now. The
results will be spectacular.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Quality, in the little things as much as
in finances or possessions, is crucial
to your happiness and wellbeing.
And with your ruler Venus accenting
such matters from late June until mid-
July, you’ve been reviewing what, and
who, is worthwhile and what needs
improvement or, perhaps, should go.
This is good timing, because soon you’ll
be juggling offers that would alter your
lifestyle or activities out in the world.
Unsettling as these might be, you’ll
recognise the promise they hold.
