CANCER (22 June - 23 July) - Happy Birthday Cancer!

The time for changing things has passed. It’s your turn now to watch from inside and wait until the storm has passed or until a major event has finished. If you’re concerned about something, find a quiet place to contemplate it and you will discover how you can manage your part in it. Relationships may not take off while you’re in this lull, so it may be best to stop pushing for it. The tighter your grip, the harder it will be for you to hold on. Let go, open your mind and sit on the sidelines this month. You may learn more from observing rather than doing.

LEO (24 July - 23 August)

You’ll find happiness and comfort in chatting and socialising this month Leo. Allow yourself to be taken along with the ebb and flow of conversation and general mood of the room. Expand your creative side and adopt an anything goes mentality for the best fun you’ve had all year. Take off someplace different and embrace your surroundings and the locals. It’s a time for raw honesty and transparency in relationships and you may be surprised at how far you can move forward once both sides drop their guard.

VIRGO (24 August - 23 September)

Confidence in yourself and others is what will see you through in July Virgo. You may think you should be relaxing but of course your mind won’t turn off to allow you that pleasure. Nevertheless, you’ll be seeing clearly and buzzing with ideas. Someone may not understand the deal you present to them and choose to ignore it. Instead of thinking it’s a failed deal, you should try it on for yourself to see if the shoe fits. You know it will work because you’ve done the research already so trust yourself and go for it.

LIBRA (24 September - 23 October)

Your patience will be tested in July Libra and you may still be rather agitated from events in June. If you catch yourself snapping at someone who didn’t really deserve it, apologise straight away as it will not only diffuse the situation but force you to take a step back from hysteria and see clearer. Make sure you have a couple of backup plans if there’s something really important, as it will save you some unnecessary stress. If it’s your mind that is cluttered, get out a pen and write everything down on paper including some lists. You will get there, you always do.

SCORPIO (24 October - 22 November)

You will be sharing some goals and activities with others this month Scorpio. You’ll feel relaxed enough to put your faith and trust in some people close to you. You may share investments, travel arrangements, or similar interests in sporting events. Success and freedom coupled with thorough enjoyment is definitely in the air this July and you’ll be having a blast with it. You’ll laugh till you cry and dance till your feet hurt all the while taking leaps and bounds to exactly where you wanted to be in your dreams.

SAGITTARIUS (23 November - 21 December)

Rarely do you get a chance to have your head and heart aligned together and on the same page, but July is such a time for you Sagittarius. To take advantage of this clarity, feel free to speak your mind with as much conviction as you want because it will be received very well. It’s also the perfect time to reinvent yourself and have some honest conversations with people close to you. There’s a large focus on the home and on taking it easy. If you’ve recently been travelling you’ll be craving some alone time at home.

CAPRICORN (22 December - 20 January)

There’ll be some big deals floating around at work and while you’re keen to get started on them, you may also need to take a short break from it all. Involve a team mate from the beginning to ensure they can take over, should you need to step back. July is a busy month for you with travel, workload or other social engagements taking up most of your time. You may encounter some negativity misdirected at you. Tread carefully because the person may just be a little insecure and is simply looking for a bit of reassurance.

AQUARIUS (21 January - 19 February)

Adventure is your middle name this July. You’ll have plenty of new experiences and taste tests, some of which may stay with you for quite awhile into the future. All the new activities will eventually wear you down and even the constant socialising will become a bit of a chore. You might benefit from slowing down a little or saying no occasionally this month or simply putting it off until tomorrow! Someone trying to give you a compliment this month may have it fall on deaf ears. Look out for it and acknowledge it because they will be hurt if you show no response.

PISCES (20 February - 20 March)

Your heart will go out to a close friend in July and they will cherish any help you can give them, whether it’s a phone call, a visit out of the blue or just a short email to say that you are thinking of them. At work, the difference between what someone says and what the truth is could be shocking, so be wary of some hidden agendas at play. You may be thinking of study options, but it’s not the time for rushing into a lengthy commitment without having slept on it first.

ARIES (21 March - 20 April)

Early on in July there will be some emotional turbulence to get through or some surprises that shock you or hit a little too close to home. The only solution may be refusing to respond and simply soaking it all up, ready to digest sometime later when you can deal with it all. It may be a mentally tough month for you Aries, but if you keep your dreams and goals in view at every moment they will help to put you back on track once more. Trust in yourself and believe you will get where you want to be. Time and perseverance together will eventually deliver your dreams to you

TAURUS (21 April - 21 May)

You’ll feel a growing sense of freedom welling in you this month even though when you look realistically at everything you’re into, there’s barely enough room to squirm. You may be on the precipice of starting something that will require consistent and steady input for the future but with huge rewards. By the end of the month you’ll be able to look back on July and smile proudly at what you’ve accomplished. Sure, things won’t always remain exactly the same way forever, but you’ve planted some seeds that will bear fruits for you in years to come.

GEMINI (22 May - 21 June)

You will be wonderfully relaxed in July and some might even comment that you are oddly tranquil, which you have to admit, is a little out of character for you. Because you are so at ease with everything and are also able to find laughter in anything, you will suddenly have the time to socialise and be able to make new friends or even revisit some old ones. Care is needed however, when promising the world this month Gemini, because it will have a boomerang effect if you aren’t able to deliver on it.

Your Monthly Horoscopes for March

PISCES (20 February - 20 March) - Happy Birthday Pisces!

Your patience is finally paying off. Everything in your life is starting to come together, from great relationships to workmates respecting your opinions and being heard. People are beginning to notice that you aren’t just a pretty face, which gives you a huge confidence boost, helping you to continue forging ahead. Now that you have some stable ground to stand on, you’re able to pour your energies into what you really love. Doing this, will make March a very successful time for you, one that just keeps getting better.

ARIES (21 March - 20 April)

You will finally find your feet this month after what seems like a somewhat uncertain time. You may still require a bit of TLC and time by yourself to think, but you will have come out of your shell by the end of the month. You are finally looking forward and may be able to see a clear path for yourself once again. There’s a hint of romance in the air and you may begin to grow a new appreciation for your partner and all that they do. Now’s the time to finalise your plans for the year ahead and to start walking towards your goals.

TAURUS (21 April - 21 May)

You are definitely getting into the swing of things this month. You’re busy again and loving life itself. A short trip may be required that will turn out to be very successful, putting you in good spirits. If you are currently deciding on something relating to your health, fitness or sports, just go for it. You will feel amazing and truly energised from it. Unfortunately your partner may feel like they are being left behind while you are out enjoying yourself, so be sure to include them as much as you can. Your home and family life will need more attention over the next few months.

GEMINI (22 May - 21 June)

This month you will be content and happy in all that you do. At times, you may be sad for loved ones, but it has only made you stronger and helped to shape who you are today. Some friends or family may question whether what you are doing is really suitable but you will find that they don’t exactly have your best interests at heart and are actually very jealous of you. Don’t let it affect you, because you are exactly where you need to be this month. Your infectious laugh will attract an admirer mid-month. It could turn into something great if you pursue it.

CANCER (22 June - 23 July)

Your workload will increase in March and you’ll feel like you are run off your feet trying to keep everything together. Secretly you’ll be enjoying yourself and the challenges it presents. You may even receive a helping hand or a promotion around mid-month. Outside of your career, you’ll have some special moments in your home life that you’ll cherish for some time. All in all, it’s a fantastic month for you Cancer, you’ll be side-stepping complex issues as if they were nothing at all.

LEO (24 July - 23 August)

You will finally feel like you’re heading in the right direction for a change this month Leo. You’ve entertained some of the biggest personal dreams lately and you will finally have the chance to make some headway on them in March. It’s time to jump in feet first, because you know exactly where you’ll be landing, it’s just up to you, whether you can let go of your fears to make the jump in the first place. Romance is strong and there may be a very short weekend trip to go on which will help to give you a laser-like focus for the remainder of the month.

VIRGO (24 August - 23 September)

You’ll be enjoying your time at home either by yourself or with your partner this month. A strong love will be felt by many of you and all the tiresome worries you had, will seem to melt away. You will also be in the mood for fixing things and for putting everything that’s in the wrong spot, back into its rightful place again. While this is somewhat of a ritual for you, doing this, creates a wonderful harmony in your life and you’ll feel at peace with the world and at peace with your current stake in life

LIBRA (24 September - 23 October)

While at first, the recent changes to your work seemed daunting, you’re actually thoroughly enjoying yourself now and have welcomed the changes with open arms. A worrying health issue will turn out to be nothing, which gives you a new lease on life. You’ll try your hardest to keep to any fitness routines or diets that you currently have and will begin to see results before the end of the month. If any friendships have been difficult or odd lately, it will soon become clear, exactly where you stand.

SCORPIO (24 October - 22 November)

Issues with your work or career may be finalised by the end of the month. Good news is coming your way, whether it’s a new job, a pay rise, a new opportunity, or even a promotion. You may be asked to prove you are worthy for the change, so make sure you’re prepared for it. Deep down you know exactly the kind of value you can provide, all you need to do is have the courage to put yourself out there and express it. A visit or call you receive from an old friend, has potential to turn into something more if you pursue it.

SAGITTARIUS (23 November - 21 December)

You’ll be really settling in to your new lifestyle or home this month and are still enjoying it immensely. You’re doing all the things that you enjoy and feel like you have not been happier in a very long time. Your personal charisma is running high this month and as a bonus, you’re beginning to have a little more faith and confidence in love. In some cases, it takes time to let someone new into your life and that’s okay because love takes time and should never be rushed. Turn your face towards the sun and bask in the harmony that is your life.

CAPRICORN (22 December - 20 January)

While important events are happening in your work or career, your heart is just not in it. You’re still going through the motions but you get more sense of enjoyment from spending time at home with loved ones than you do ticking the next item off on your to-do list at work. That’s not to say that you aren’t very productive this month, in fact it’s quite the opposite. As a bonus, your financial situation will improve and you may even receive a financial bonus through avenues not related to your work such as online payments or relating to a house.

AQUARIUS (21 January - 19 February)

Whether you like it or not, this month you’ll be spending money on large items that you’ll need to purchase out of necessity rather than need. You’ll be feeling very creative and looking to either take up a new hobby or go to the next level with a current hobby. You’re in the mood for getting things done and by the end of the month you’ll feel like you’ve accomplished so much in such a short space of time. Relationships or a love interest will pick up full speed towards the end of the month

CAPRICORN (22 December - 20 January) - Happy Birthday Capricorn!

You will find that you may need to reassess what you are doing for a living and look for opportunities of a different nature this month. You may feel the need to change something to improve your lifestyle and want to work out the best way to go about it. Study and learning new skills may be the focus for you this month and while it seems daunting, it may be necessary to move forward. Don’t be afraid of change. Learning new things is always a step forward and it stays with you forever.

AQUARIUS (21 January - 19 February)

Big changes are happening all around you this month Aquarius and while you may be doubting some of them, you’ll see very soon that everything works out perfectly. This causes the beginning of the month to be a bit stressful for you and you’ll feel like you can’t relax. It’s not until the end of January where you will finally be able to let your hair down and shake off all the bad vibes you have. Once that happens, you will be left feeling care-free and very content with where you are at.

PISCES (20 February - 20 March)

January is a busy but fun-filled time for you Pisces and it’s also time to take off and travel a tiny bit. You deserve to take a break even if it is just for a weekend to get away from it all. Money may become a little tight, so just don’t go overboard this month and it will be fine. It’s a great month to spend with friends, family and loved ones and you will really enjoy catching up with people who you haven’t spoken with for awhile. Unknowingly, they will help you to realign yourself and you’ll discover what’s most important to you, for the year ahead

ARIES (21 March - 20 April)

A new year means new beginnings for you Aries. Out with the old and in with the new, especially where your work is concerned. You may still be experiencing some challenges with your career right now which is reducing your confidence a little bit every day. To move forward, you have to believe in yourself. You know in your heart that you can do it, so now all that’s left is for you to trust in yourself and just go for it. Everything causing chaos for you this month, will melt away by the end of January.

TAURUS (21 April - 21 May)

You are definitely getting on top of everything that you have been meaning to do for the last few months and doesn’t it feel great! January 2010 finds you loving life and you can’t seem to get enough of it. After making a few small changes to the way things happen around you last month you are finding that helping yourself just a little bit more than usual can really work out well for you. Family is the focus for you in January. You have the time now to stop and appreciate all the people in your life that love and support you.

GEMINI (22 May - 21 June)

In January, it will feel like you try and try again, with no results and with no end in sight. You may feel despair or believe that nothing will ever change, but that’s simply not true. Hold onto your dreams because whether you can see it or not, change is always happening and it may be that some plans are being made now that will finally bring you what you are after. Stop waiting for something to happen and just take action yourself. The pebbles that you throw into the pond now, will cause waves towards the end of the month.

CANCER (22 June - 23 July)

January 2010 finds you looking to do something different. You’re tired of your current situation and you’re looking to change a few things. You may just need to get out of the house and do something as simple as going on a nature walk. Take your friend or partner and begin a few daily road trips this month just for fun. Afterwards, you will feel energised and ready to take on anything that the new year throws at you. January is the month to focus on yourself, relax and forget about any household or family matters.

LEO (24 July - 23 August)

It’s been a whirlwind of a ride these past few months Leo. The chaos will slowly disappear over January and it will become clear which direction you should go, to achieve your goals. You may find you have a bit of an internal struggle happening because you haven’t arrived at the place you wanted to be yet and you may be wondering if it’s because of something you have done. It’s definitely not you. The worst thing you can do is to doubt yourself at this time. Hang in there because at the end of the month your situation will have improved dramatically.

VIRGO (24 August - 23 September)

January 2010 is your time to relax Virgo. You’ve put in the long hours and worked really hard but now you should slow down and just put your feet up. If there are still things that need to be done, you should definitely delegate it to someone else. Life begins to get busy with work and if you are single, a new love interest will appear towards the end of the month. Don’t you dare think that they are out of your league because they most certainly are not. Gather your courage and ask for a date. They will be flattered and you will be glad you did!

LIBRA (24 September - 23 October)

The year starts off for you with the focus on work and relationships. It may be a troubling time in January and all you can think about is how to get on top of it all. Unfortunately, as much as you try this month, nothing of significance will happen. Instead, you will begin to realise that whatever has been troubling you, is actually not that big of a deal and you will be able to move forward anyway, just in a different direction that you originally thought. You will gain confidence and be feeling quite in control of your life towards the end of the month.

SCORPIO (24 October - 22 November)

The new year starts off with a bang for you Scorpio. Everything seems to be falling into place. You may be presented with a new career opportunity in January that will seem more like having fun than doing work. It’s not what you were expecting but it’s a brilliant opportunity that you should definitely look into. Partners and friends may be a bit edgy this month around you, but it’s only because they wish they were receiving a little bit of the luck that you seem to be having. Be sure to include them in everything you are doing and you’ll have a fantastic time.

SAGITTARIUS (23 November - 21 December)

This month is the perfect time for you to set your goals and get focussed. If you have big dreams you should literally get out a pen and a piece of paper, write it down and then stick it up on your door so you see it every day. You are open to all kinds of motivation this month and can’t wait to kick-start the new year, by rolling up your sleeves and taking some long-awaited action. Towards the end of the month, your partner or close friends will provide you with the strength to keep powering forward, should you lose sight of your dream.
