JULY 2010
BY JACQUELINE BIGAR
The Stars Show the Kind of Month You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive;
3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
Gemini
ARIES (March 21-April 19)
*** Tension builds and builds all month long, no matter how good your intentions are. You experience unusual tension between work, your personal life and partners. You might shake your head if you can detach enough. Note that conflict could come from various areas of your life. Pretend you are on a roller-coaster ride — you are, symbolically. A friend could get wacky on you, or is it you on him or her? There is no way to tell.
Motto of the Month:
You have enough on your plate. Don’t take on anything else!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
*** You might not be as intensely reactive as those in your immediate environment. Clearly, you must stay mellow in circumstances that are not mellow. If you can stay cool, calm and collected, rewards will head your way. Cancel a trip or ease your pace, letting go of anything you can. You will feel better, and so will others. Examine possibilities more openly, though the wise Bull will wait to commit.
Motto of the Month:
You cannot and should not deal with others’ sturm und drang.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
**** You could really benefit from the unexpected. No matter what happens, no matter which direction you turn, life is full of surprises. For you, it could be a lot better than many other signs. What you want could happen, forcing choices you never dreamt were possible. Some of you might try to hold on to what was, and find out you cannot. Don’t even try. Go for something new and exciting. Be careful with your funds.
Motto of the Month:
Go with the flow.
CANCER (June 21-July 22)
*** You are right in the eye of the hurricane. Listen to what you are hearing, then decide the best course of action for you. One statement rings absolutely true this month — do not even try to hold on to what is difficult or what seems to be leaving your life. Clinging to the past or difficult situations increases stress. Change is inevitable. The less you fight it, the happier you will be. Still, you are such a traditional sign, this might be hard.
Motto of the Month:
You can do this!
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
*** You are full of energy and can deal with much more than others. Still, even you, the forever sunny Leo, could be in a funk. We must point out that you are generally off the month before your birthday. Listen to news that might seem difficult or on the edge of what you want. The status quo could be overturned before you know it. The smart members of your sign will go with the flow, even if they can be heard growling here and there.
Motto of the Month:
A new perspective becomes possible by the month’s end.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
**** Friends do flip-flops. Loved ones suddenly seem to be reversing their path. A child could act up. Don’t trust that new lover, even if he or she says it is forever. Hang in there, with an anticipation that life’s vicissitudes strike at any given moment. Remember how nice it was when ... This month the grass is not greener on the other side of the fence. It is the greenest where you are.
Motto of the Month:
Be grateful for what is, not what isn’t.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
*** You are deeply involved this month. You might feel like an oil spill has occurred in your living room, and every which way you turn, you run into more ramifications. The real issue lies in giving up what doesn’t work and rising above the messes life appears to be presenting. Don’t trust a matter that revolves around your personal and home life. Be a cynic; remain a cynic. You might be happier in the long run.
Motto of the Month:
Exercise away as much stress as possible.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
**** Stay in touch with yourself. Others could test your limits, causing some unexpected activity and work in your immediate days. Though you might be on overload, and perhaps sad to see a cycle ending, in its place will come a better one. Scorpio is associated with the legend of the burning phoenix. If you don’t know the legend, do read up on it. This tale defines your resilience.
Motto of the Month:
Let go and trust in yourself.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
**** Your creativity surges in the face of news, others’ unpredictability and life in general. You have solutions, though friends and associates simply cannot hear them. You wonder what gives. Stay upbeat and direct with others. Your communication and expressing exactly what is on your mind to someone could save the day. By the end of the month, the big picture becomes more readily available.
Motto of the Month:
You might feel like you are venturing out on quicksand. You are on solid ground.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
*** You rarely are the epitome of joy and lightness in July. This year, you seem to have much more ailing you. If you look around, you are not the only one. The Goat is one of the signs associated with the tried and true. Letting go and accepting change is nothing less than difficult. Yet you won’t have much of a choice. Enter close discussions toward the end of the month.
Motto of the Month:
You could mope about something ending, or you could look at the horizon with excitement.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
*** You might be running from one fire to the other, putting out the flames. You could have difficulty keeping an even pace, as the unexpected keeps blowing out your plans. You could become exhausted, as you keep accommodating others. Be a wise Water-Bearer, and let go of plans to get away this month. You are needed where you are. The last 10 days of this month could be challenging.
Motto of the Month:
Remember, you can always count on yourself.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
**** You might decide to take an unanticipated risk. Be very sure that you can afford the most unexpected results. Love and/or money could be involved. Your first child could be full of surprises. You might feel the need to clamp down. You and a partner suddenly are speaking different languages. How did that happen? Until the other party loosens up, the two will not meet.
Motto of the Month:
Anxiety comes with this type of excitement.
