July 2016 – Astrological Forecasts

Your feelings give you direction in your life.

It’s a matter of trust – Our life choices are rooted in trust. It’s a matter of how much we trust the people around us. It’s also a matter of how much we trust ourselves. The sign of Cancer is our emotional foundation. It is where we are most emotionally vulnerable. It is also where we can be at our most emotionally withdrawn or protective. When you find out where Cancer resides in your personal astrology chart, you gain insight as to exactly which events in your life may have had the most impact. Cancer’s placement in your chart highlights the areas of your life that would likely have the most emotional impact for you, either teaching you to open up and trust your feelings or to close up and protect yourself from them.

New Moon in Cancer
This month we have a New Moon in Cancer on July 4, 2016 at 11.01 GMT.

New Moons are the optimal times to set new intentions. Cancer is the sign of the Great Mother, the feminine archetype par excellence- the primal water sign in charge of the birthing process (including labor pains), the nurturer of family, children, community and country.

The New Moon is always a “seeding “time. What would you like to manifest over the next 2 weeks – emotionally? Psychically? Materially? How can you best nurture your own creativity? Are you truly expressing your heart in your most significant relationships? Are you in a satisfied relationship with yourself? Where do you need to release old programming? These are significant questions!

Capricorn Full Moon
This month we have a Full Moon in Capricorn on July 19, 2016 at 22.57 GMT.

Full Moons expose the shadow sides of both signs involved. The shadow side of Cancer is emotional immaturity and self-indulgence. Until healed, our wounded child lives on sabotaging our happiness. The dark side of Cancer also manifests as martyrdom: sacrificing ourselves in hope that eventually our needs will be seen and met. Either way, emotional denial is at the core. Water must flow and feelings must be fully acknowledged (not necessarily acted out, but felt); otherwise stagnant emotional “ruts”, illnesses, or other negative situations may result. Repressed emotions overflow the banks of our defenses during a Full Moon. Water floods and destroys, but it also cleanses and heals. Harnessed, it generates tremendous power. Water receives, stores, and releases energy. It assumes the shape of is container. What are we pouring ourselves into right now? What do we need to receive? What do we need to release? What do we need to heal in our lives?

This month will be particularly good for allowing the Cancerian “water” to flow through your life, healing, cleansing and balancing, a seriously good time to start any creative project which you have delayed, or have a serious talk with your loved one to clear the air, or indeed a chat with your boss to ask for development, or improvements to your role.

CANCER

A strongly perfectionistic tendency means that you are highly focused and driven. You have a heightened sense of responsibility in both financial affairs and within your work and personal relationships. You have a strong sense of doing the right thing, which will help you to maintain focus despite obstacles. You are committed to being organized, and you want to get the most from yourself and others – you cannot tolerate laziness and apathy in those around you, and that may earn you the tag of taskmaster in July. You are not very patient and will not suffer fools gladly; you are strong-willed and want to see practical accomplishments.

Burdens and emotional responsibility are also a theme in July – older relatives or family members may be very demanding – you can deal with these rather calmly and rationally.

July is a month where your determination and ambition as well as good judgment and diligence, can pay dividends. You will strive to exercise responsibility and will relish leadership roles.

One downside is that you can be unforgiving and can dwell on resentful thoughts; your challenge in July is only to worry about what you have control of and to quickly move on after setbacks or disagreements. You have a strong sense of purpose in July and will show your devotion to the people and causes you support. It is also a time when you will staunchly stand by your allies, values and loved ones, even in the face of criticism.

Cancer Monthly Love Horoscope
You are very critical in July and can be quite acerbic without realizing it – try to be aware of this before you hurt the feelings of your partner without meaning to.

As I said before, forgiving and forgetting is a hard job in July as there is a real difficulty in letting go of some issues. However, if you can move past upsets and hurts without descending into biting sarcasm and insult trading, there is a wonderful opportunity for you to grow within relationships and experience a sexual healing.

Your vulnerabilities may be exposed via circumstances in both life and relationships, and yet it is within the relationship dynamic where you will have to deal with these insecurities. It is these very insecurities which are behind your critical and demanding attitudes. You may look to hide by getting immersed in work, but you must confront these inner feelings head-on, or they will surface within arguments and conflict in relationships. You need to get beyond some emotional blocks that are stopping you achieving a full level of understanding and devotion in love.

There may be arguments about money in July, but money is just the excuse to air feelings, not the real issues at stake – do not skirt around the periphery, be honest and confront the core matters of the heart. It is all about trust and moving away from fear of betrayal. Once this is dealt with, a brilliant month for love on a higher level awaits.

Cancer Career Horoscope July 2016
Financial management in your business is crucial – outgoings must be looked at and perhaps some tasks can be outsourced. Look for new suppliers and concentrate on stream-lining and looking for input and cost savings in July.

Cancer, in July, you may be involved in charity events, and philanthropic activities arranged by your employer, you may also participate in social events with colleagues.

Sustainability and issues which affect your company or business’s relationship with the local community will come under the microscope. The more your business is seen as part of the local community the better; if what you do or the way you do it is causing opposition, this needs to be worked on. Hard work within a structure is the theme at work – July is not the time to be controversial and go against the establishment, work with what you have and with what you know. It is a time to improve rather than innovate and so concentrate on getting something 100% right before moving on to the next thing.

July is an excellent month for those studying the arts be it sculpture, architecture, theatre, design, film or graphics.

AQUARIUS

Keeping promises and being discreet is very important in July. You have to know when the truth is actually not what is needed, and you must respect the deeper issues at stake.

You may have to be rather controlled and disciplined in July, and getting what you want will need some sacrifice and hard work – you may have to forgo something you really would love to buy in order to save money, or perhaps you will need to pass up an opportunity to socialize in order to put in more work at the office. Finances will tend to dictate your life somewhat in July, but you need to stay focused on the goal as you can make some excellent progress workwise.

You are taking obligations and responsibility very seriously right now, in fact, you are in a rather serious and single-minded frame of mind, which is a very good thing as you can achieve and impress others. You may find yourself in control of funds, i.e. a trust fund, estate, as a treasurer or as a purser. You may have to become an expert in some aspect of the law in July in order to resolve an issue at work or a domestic one – your own research and ability to find nuggets of important detail within swathes of rubbish can be critical.

Aquarius Monthly Love Horoscope
In July, events at work will impact on your marriage or relationship – it may be a new position leads to more hours or that your new job involves more travel away from home. Study or coursework to do with a promotion may also eat into your private time.

Adjustments to your personal life will happen due to work or career, but they can be positive as well in the longer terms, and you need to focus on these.

Loyalty and being able to count on the support of your partner is vital to you – the more he/she understands your needs and stresses, the better the relationship will be. However, if your partner is unwilling to be cooperative and understanding, this can lead to frostiness in the bedroom and long periods of silence.

In July is a challenge in terms of how you both communicate and express yourselves emotionally – strong relationships will come through, and you will feel even closer, while shaky relationships with no depth of feeling or mutual compassion will suffer.

July will test your commitment and how much you both care. July will test whether you can work as a team or whether you are both selfish and in it for the good times only.

New relationships that are based on superficial feelings will flounder right now while relationships with potential will become more committed.

Aquarius Career Horoscope
If you work in partnership, you may find the relationship with your partner/s strained and difficult, especially due to creative differences or disagreements on how to allocate resources. It will take both diplomacy and some tongue biting to smooth things over, and you will have to be highly flexible in terms of how you work in July.

You may also find the work ethic of those you work with disappointing, and you may find that you are picking up the pieces and doing extra work due to their indifference. You need to find ways of motivating them without coming across as a taskmaster. Politics within your firm or industry or career can be very annoying and even offensive to your strong principles and sense of equality – it is best not to rock the boat in the short run as you may have more scope to change things later this year.

Corporate finances, tax and insurances are the key areas in which you may experience frustration and some disagreement in July – these issues may hold up progress towards goals you have set, and you may have to hire an expert to help you to understand the facts and rules better. Do not under any circumstances be tempted to exaggerate an insurance claim – be cautious with submission of paperwork.

ARIES

Self-control is an issue in July; you are not very disciplined – well, it is summer, and you have to let your hair down, but do not overdue it. Not a great time for diets: you are inclined to over-indulge and take an “in for a penny in for a pound” approach, which you may regret later. On the upside, this is a very sociable and enjoyable month as long as excesses can be avoided. Don’t run up the credit card either. A certain lack of discrimination with the friends you hang out with or the company you keep in July may cause problems and arguments in your household – perhaps more with family members than with your spouse or partner.

You are trying to be all things to all people, and it is just not working out for you in July 2016 – you are over-stretched at work and things are hectic at home – don’t try and be superman. Prioritise and if people do not like it, they had better get over it.

Aries Monthly Love Horoscope
After feeling rather lonely and detached emotionally last month, you are now totally back to yourself in terms of feeling loving, affectionate and demonstrative. You want to spoil and surprise your loved one – You’ve Got the Love in July.

There is one small snag, and that is a small amount of emotional hypocrisy – in some cases you may be using excess effusiveness and charm to mask feelings and issues you do not feel you can deal with. Are you putting on a brave face? Is it a front? If not, and you are being totally honest with yourself, then go and have a ball in July. However, if there is something deeper nagging, don’t lie to yourself about it, even if you are delaying dealing with it.

July is a great time for single Arians to meet new potential partners – you are filled with confidence and “va va voom” approach whilst being highly sociable and this will certainly attract lovers. You must ask yourself, however, what attracted you to this new person: their love or life, love of fun and generous giving nature or was it their lifestyle and social status? Often under these planetary influences we meet and are attracted to someone with wealth and prestige, but we are not attracted to the real person – it is a superficial attraction. Look deeper into any new relationship and ask if there is a deep connection or just a passing attraction and manage this accordingly.

Aries Career Horoscope
Do not gamble on hunches in July, you may feel lucky, but do not allow that feeling to lull you into a complacency that everything will be OK – it may not be, and you could land up in over your head. Be careful of promising more than you can deliver whether it be to clients or customers. There is a head-heart battle within work in July, and you will find it very hard to keep emotions out of decisions. You may take an instant dislike to a new workmate or client, and it will be very hard for you to conceal that feeling of irritation for them. It is best to distance yourself from this person as much as possible – it is highly likely that your gut instincts about them are correct, but you may not be able to logically justify your feelings if required, so best to keep them to yourself. July is a month when you should not tackle problems head on – skirt round them, avoid them and think long and hard before you finally deal with them. A delaying tactic could work very well.

CAPRICORN

Your energy levels are back in credit in July, and you are feeling like you are in the starting blocks, raring to go. One problem can be directing your energies in a way that is productive, rather than doing a bit of this and a bit of that or starting so many things that you follow through on none of them. You must outline your plans carefully and draw up a plan of action rather than just jumping into things and going with the flow. Expansion within structure is the theme – the structures should not limit or inhibit you, but rather help you to be focused and systematic.

The need to prove yourself is very strong in July, and this can lead you to promise more than you can deliver or bite off more than you can chew – which is why you need to have a clear plan and must not underestimate any task at hand. There is no doubt that you can achieve a lot, but it should be done incrementally as you go, not going in headlong and then losing the plot as things get too chaotic.

July is a month when you will have to be competitive – you will come head to head with others to compete for a job, a promotion, a prize or an award, and competition will be fierce. You are assertive and will not give in; your positive frame of mind should win you the day.

Capricorn Monthly Love Horoscope
Your needs and what satisfies you may be changing in July, and that may lead to you drifting apart from your partner in July, not in a negative way, but it may be you need more space to explore who you are. If we are allowed space in a relationship to be a free spirit occasionally, we can take so much more back to that relationship when we ‘return’.

You need your partner to indulge you in July, and whether you need to read more, see more of your friends, go hiking, cycling, bird watching etc., you should be able to follow your desire. It may even be that your religion calls you, and you feel the need to get closer to the church – whatever it is, you have a calling in July which could temporarily cause you to drift apart; however, it will, if you are allowed that freedom, enrich the relationship long-term.

Single Capricorn could meet lovers with excellent potential via university, an awareness campaign, a seminar to do with health or animal rights movements.

Capricorn Career Horoscope
Working in groups can be rather challenging as you are very adamant about how things should be done and can find it hard to work to timescales and rules set by others. You work best where you have freedom to direct your part of the job as you see fit – if you do not have that freedom, you may just rush the job to get finished as fast as possible.

July is a very good month for projects to do with politics, social matters or the community, where you are able to feel as if the impact of your work has a wider effect on lives and futures. Many Capricorns work in law, law enforcement or in government, and in

July you may be able to create far reaching changes via the work you are putting in. Whatever you do for a living, there is the feeling of wanting to give more back and for it not to be just about the pay check. Teaching new colleagues or trainees at the office can give you some satisfaction, you may take a younger colleague under your wing and help them to develop.

GEMINI

Family relationships, especially those with women are in focus in July. Tolerance and acceptance are the key issues in getting over hurdles in understanding. Bridges must be re-built, and family ties reestablished in July. Your nurturing and loving side is at the forefront as you display emotions and affection. Family matters in July, and spending quality time with your parents and your children is fulfilling and emotionally nourishing. Your extended family may come together to celebrate or to support a family member who needs some help. Motherhood is especially fulfilling and rewarding right now, and you can really appreciate the bond you have with your children. If you do not have children, you may feel very broody and begin to think in that direction.

Eating and catering are very much part of the month as they usually are when family come together; you may be involved in making many of the plans regarding purchasing and organizing of the food. Events will center on your home.

July it is very much a back to your roots month with renewed appreciation of who you are and where you come from. You may get out old photos and albums as your children start to take an interest in how you grew up. You may feel inspired to write about something which happened in your past and which shaped you.

Gemini Monthly Love Horoscope
Your understanding and caring nature will go a long way to ensuring that love relationships are close, warm and happy. You are in a very giving, inclusive and gentle mood and are craving closeness. You will demand attention from your partner, and you need to feel that warmth back right now; if your partner is distant, stressed or emotionally unresponsive you can be very moody and sulky. You are putting a lot of effort in in July in terms of relationships, and if you do not see an equally loving response, your feelings will be hurt. My advice is to not put it all out there; be loving by all means, but as soon as you feel it is not being reciprocated, pull back and protect yourself. Do not keep giving to someone who is not in the mood or the right frame of mind to give back.

In new relationships, the impulse is to be very open and full-on emotionally – this can set you up for a disappointment, especially as since you are rather sensitive right now, you may even take a small insignificant rebuff to heart. When your partner responds, this can be an amazing month for love, warmth and really meaningful sex.

Gemini Career Horoscope July 2016
If you are not employed or are looking to change your employment, in July 2016 is an ideal one to examine the options closely to work from home or even work more hours from home. Think about how you could increase time spent with family and your own flexibility if you spent more hours working from home and less travelling into work. Talk to people online who are already doing this via forums, g+, etc. and see if you can get any tips or advice.

Gemini who write for a living will find this an extremely fruitful month when they will be inspired, especially when writing on romantic and emotional issues as well as those to do with nature, animals and healthy lifestyles.

Geminis, who are in teaching, may find that their pupils come to them for advice and guidance. In all aspects of business, July is a time to invest and save money. In terms of investments, look towards traditional and evergreen stocks rather than start-ups or teckie firms.

In any job or business, do not allow sentimentality over some aspect of your business to cloud your judgment. Sometimes you have to let something go for the better.

LEO

Allocation of time is quite challenging in July: there is a balance to be struck between ongoing tasks and projects and nurturing the new initiative you have going.

The planets indicate new beginnings in July; however, they also indicate that these new beginnings are not exclusively begging for your time – there are still previous responsibilities that must be honored. So the bottom line is not to forget the old when embracing the new.

You may have recently moved home or be moving home in July – it may not be a clean break, and issues to do with the previous property be it those you rented from or with, or maintenance issues will continue to demand your attention.

At times in July, it is like driving with the brake on – you have to be disciplined and patient, and at the same time you cannot just stop, you must keep moving and keep making bold decisions.

Issues to do with your home life may be a burden. It is possible that responsibilities to do with home and family curtail your freedom to live your own life. It may also be true that attitudes and beliefs of your culture are clashing with your desire for freedom and living your life as you want to. You have the power to deal with these if you are patient and go about it sensibly.

Over-indulgence in sweet and fatty foods is a temptation and must be avoided in July.

Leo Monthly Love Horoscope
July is an excellent month for communicating feelings of love. You are in the mood for harmony, love and pleasure. Yes, it’s holiday season for the Northern Hemisphere and cozy fire time in the Southern hemisphere, and you are in the mood for love. Your love life in July will be one of togetherness, relaxation and romantic walks along the beach. Sex is very fulfilling and meaningful – not “wham bam thank-you ma’am” style.

You and your partner are very sociable, and this also aids the general feeling of happiness and wellbeing at this time.

Leo Career Horoscope
You may think that it is out with the old and in with the new, but as mentioned in previous paragraphs, the tried and tested methods and systems should not be thrown out in your haste to embrace change and new techniques. Also, you must not neglect old client bases in favour of a new market.

July is an excellent month for those who make money writing, especially in the romance, poetry genre; this applies to copywriting, novel writing, promotional writing.

This is a financially opportune month for business involving real estate, mining, farming and consumer products to do with the home. Management of property and issues to do with property or warehouses where you store things may be an issue, so do make sure your security and insurance arrangements are well organized.

Issues to do with financing arrangements and tax affairs are important in July – get some good advice early on in the year to see if a new arrangement of debt or an investment opportunity can save you some tax. You are very focused at work in July with an eye for detail and the ability to spot things that others do not. You will not have much patience with co-workers who do not pull their weight, and this may be a flashpoint. The end of the month sees a slowing of the pace with more time to chill out.

LIBRA

July 2016 is a good time for studies, creative and spiritual pursuits – it is a time of a broad and open-minded search for answers. You are looking to expand your understanding of the universe and yourself, and you may choose to do that via science or alternate means.

This is a time when you can expand your contacts and possibly meet influential people who can help advance your career and open doors for you.

There can be opportunities to further your learning, especially in legal fields, where you may specialize in a field in order to help you in both your career and in your political and social endeavors. In July you are seeking to use knowledge as leverage and as a way to advance your aims. Travel internationally is likely, especially if it involves learning about another culture, political system or religion.

Libra Monthly Love Horoscope
You are feeling a little shy and restrained in love in July – you need reassurance right now, and that needs to be verbal and emotional reassurance. You may take a small criticism or rebuff more seriously than usual as you are feeling touchy and a little sensitive. If you do not get the tenderness and understanding you crave, you may become a little withdrawn. It’s best to let your partner know that you need a little TLC, rather than sulking or playing a martyr.

It may be that you are required to make a sacrifice for the one you love in July – it may be giving up something you really want to do or forgoing something you needed yourself, but you will be tested in how you react to having to make this sacrifice. If love is strong it should be easy, but if you resent making this sacrifice then maybe you do not care as much for this person as you thought, or it may reflect buried resentments which are usually hidden from sight. You may feel like, “Why should I forego what I want when she/he would not do that for me?” It could be a good barometer for how the relationship is really going deep down.

July it is a month when what goes on beneath the surface in relationships, i.e. the subtle power plays, the balance of power, and the give and take are unearthed.

Libra Career Horoscope July
Your ambition is stimulated in July, and you will strive to achieve and to excel – it is important for you to be seen to have authority and taking the back seat or working behind the scenes will not be very fulfilling. You may lock horns with your manager or boss as you will have a clear idea about how you think something should be done – use your Libran persuasive skills to bring him/her around to your way of thinking and be patient, do not go ahead and do your own thing as you know how authority figures hate being upstaged.

You have quite a bit of energy and drive to put towards your career goals in July, and so it is worth ramping up the old CV and sending it out or perhaps checking out recruitment agencies for positions which are more in line with your ambitions. Ask yourself: is there a future for me in this company? If no, now is a good time to look elsewhere.

In self-employment, July is a good month to increase your visibility and public profile – look at ways to get your name known, and do not underestimate the power of word of mouth. Reputation management is very important – ask you clients to write reviews online, and make sure you are listed everywhere you can be on the web.

PISCES

You are very busy right now at work, and you are enjoying what you are doing as your work right now seems to have a broader scope: in terms of meeting people and life experience. Travel in connection with work is a very big possibility, and you may also be able to mix a fair amount of pleasure with your work trips.

Further education and study may play a big role in your life. It may be sponsored by your employer, or it may be something you undertake with the aim of getting a new position at work, which will give you more freedom and provide you better prospects.

Health is something which can easily be overlooked in July and excess in all forms can lead to some problems: not only excess of food and alcohol, but even an excess of supplements or too strict an adherence to a dietary plan. Be middle of the road when it comes to health, and do not veer onto the periphery of normality in your pursuit of fitness or slimness.

Take a cautious approach to legal dealings which begin now and do not rush them. Take your time to become totally au fait with the terms and conditions as ignoring something vital now could have quite a disruptive impact on your life later down the line. If you do need to initiate some legal proceedings against someone, now is a very good time as you can probably get the matter resolved by Christmas.

There is much pride taken in what you do right now and offering service to others (i.e. friends, family or even strangers) in need can bring you a sense of personal pride. While it is not good to become obsessed, in July you may spend a vast amount of time on a personal project making sure it is 100% to your satisfaction, and this can be extremely rewarding.

Pisces Monthly Love Horoscope
July is one of those months when relationships need work – you will need to be patient and persevering to make sure your love life runs smoothly and events, especially those to do with in laws and your work will challenge the harmony and force you to make concessions. Small and larger problems can be thrust into focus and must be discussed calmly, not only during arguments.

You may have to make choices in love that are not straightforward and you may end up doing things which you later find hard to defend. It is a tough month to know how to make the best of things and how to keep everyone happy.

It’s important to remember right now that you cannot please all the people all the time and to a large degree others are responsible for their own happiness and wellbeing and it is not up to you to be your partner’s mother. In July, make sure you do not take all the responsibility or blame for how things are going in the relationship – you partner needs to pull themselves together and not rely so much on you to do the bending and adapting.

July is a month when you need a rebalancing within your love relationships – an assessment of the give and take and how much there is of each. It is a very good time to take a step back and say, “OK, what is really going on here?” If you can look at yourselves in perspective and see the good, the bad and the problems, you can make adjustments now which can really improve things in the coming months. In new relationships, Pisces need to be more honest with themselves about where and how the new love interest is going, and if it has potential.

Pisces Career Horoscope
You are enjoying work right now, partly due to enhanced rapport with colleagues and co-workers and the increased amount of more interesting work you are doing. Your workload may well increase, but you are finding the work stimulating, and you are improving your skills at the same time. You may find that you are asked to train up new staff, or you may contribute to a training manual or professional journal.

If you are in a profession or an expert in a field, you may well get noticed in July, and you may be called upon to talk on radio or contribute to a publication. July is a great time to publish a book on a technical subject you know much about.

Those of you in service industries will find that business is going very well. You may begin to offer your services to a new clientele, either geographically or culturally.

July is an excellent month for Pisces, who are seeking to change employment in order to find better working conditions or those who are seeking employment as fortune is with you. It is a time of opportunity within your career. If you are looking for work, look within the legal fields, police work, the courts, printing, tourism or promotions or even the army.

A once in a lifetime opportunity may come to you via work in July.

SAGITTARIUS

What you define as success and achievement is under review in your life – you may have valued money and reputation in the past, however, now it is very important to you what people think and how you can use your profile or position as a role model to influence others. You will seek a platform to let others know what you feel is important – you may use your Twitter or g+ account, or perhaps if you are a lecturer or have a position of authority in your community, you may use that to educate people on issues to do with health, welfare, political, human and animal rights issues. In July it is very important how you manage your reputation, both private and personal – be careful what you put out there in social media as once out there it can come back to haunt you. If you are a role model, you must pay special attention to how you come across, and if the messages you are putting out are consistent – can you be accused of not practicing what you preach?

Sagittarius Monthly Love Horoscope
Sexual desire is enhanced in July, and your libido is high. Your willfulness and desire to have it your own way is also greater than usual, and ego conflicts are possible as you are identifying closely with your ideas and values and wanting to defend them passionately. Passion is the key – you are both passionate in the bedroom and passionate about expressing your feelings; emotions are running high, and this can bring you closer and thrust you apart depending on your mood. It can be a month of drama in the relationship, but that drama can add spice to your love life.

In July there can be conflict in relationships about the joint finances and how to spend and save respectively – you are not likely to take orders from your partner and may just decide to conceal your spending. Secrets are also something in the mix in July – secrets are a good thing in a relationship as they add to mystery, and they can help you maintain boundaries.

The challenge in July is deciding what you should keep secret and what you should talk about. Some secrets are harder to keep and can damage the relationship if they get out no matter how innocent. If you have secrets, you must also allow your partner secrets too, and that is not always easy to handle – can you handle it? Your spouse may be instrumental in helping you with your career.

Sagittarius Career Horoscope
Issues to do with loans and taxes can drain your energy and take up your time in July. Get organized and get your tax paperwork in order – better to do it now and get it out of the way. Improve your filing systems as with tax not everything can be stored electronically, you need original copies – make sure everything is filed away and labelled systematically. If you are in employment, think more about your tax and perhaps get advice to see how you can make tax free savings or reduce your tax bill via pension payments – get more info and organize your money accordingly.

Manage your online profile and encourage clients to leave endorsements or reviews on LinkedIn and online forums. The reputation of you and your company is essential, and you want to ensure that when you are searched or googled people see the best of you – enhance your SEO and make sure you are listed on all the local business directories. Get new business cards and perhaps redo your logo/website to ensure you are giving out the right messages to attract the clients you are seeking. July is a good month to deal with members of the opposite sex, especially if they are in a superior role to you, i.e. your boss. July is a very good month for those taking professional exams; i.e. chartered accountant, surveyor, financial advisor, bar exams, etc.

SCORPIO

Those in the zodiac sign of Scorpio in July won’t feel at ease, especially in their “personal life.” The situation will be out of the ordinary, because the position of Venus, responsible for the “expulsion” of the sign Scorpio, and it will be repeatedly strengthened and drastically reinforced. As a result, you will need to reassess many aspects of your life so that you can honorably find a way out from the potentially negative situations, which, perhaps, can be avoided, but in this case, the stars do not give such advice. However, everything is not all that bad, and although Saturn, your traditional exaltation, will leave you, the Moon, in its normal position responsible for the “fall” of Scorpios, will change the modality of its energy flows and turn into your relatively strong ally. Let’s not forget about the position of Mars, the ruler of the sign Scorpio, which won’t leave you in the lurch. Thus, all in all, we’re talking about a very dynamic and positive stage of life, which only at certain points will demonstrate to you all the cons of your current worldview, or something similar to this. Oddly enough, the stars are now talking only about potential putting all your efforts into your ability to find the answers and solutions without too much help from the starts. In a way they are asking you to trust your own judgement and gut-feeling, and sneakily suggest your ability to come up with productive methods for their solutions. So, despite a small adverse planetary influence this month, as usual, you have the lion’s share of all ability to resolve issues concentrated in your own hands, which gives hope for a positive outcome from any situation. Trust yourself this month!


Scorpio Career Horoscope
July will be a quite spectacular and colorful month, perhaps a little crazy, but definitely positive. The idea is that during the second month of summer the majority of your plans are likely to reach their logical conclusion; the long-awaited finale, to which you have been striving for six months. Success will await you, though it will be unusual and nothing like what you’ve had in mind. Regardless of the element you’re associated with, you will be subject to a plethora of surprises, mostly brought about by the consequences of your own actions. But don’t worry; you’ll be able to achieve the desirable in any case. In fact, the Moon and Uranus will be strong enough to neutralize almost any external negative fluids, so the zodiac signs, for which one of these celestial objects serves as a patron of classical order, will find themselves in a rather advantageous position.

Although, it is worth repeating that the bonuses you’ll receive will be pretty peculiar.
The career area won’t provide Scorpios with total victories, but some financial bonuses will significantly contribute to your family’s income. It’s important here not to let circumstances pull you down. In order to avoid this, evaluate your every step; analyze everything that’s happening around you before making even a small move forward. True, at such a pace you will move forward very slowly, much slower than you intended. On the other hand, you’ll get at least two advantages: you’ll reduce the risk of your own mistake to almost zero and at the same time mix the cards of your opponents, who clearly did not expect such slow development.

Thus, as an outcome you’ll find yourself in a fairly positive situation, which clearly should not be neglected. Another thing, do not hesitate to use your official position. Of course within the boundaries of law and decency! You might be too uptight and too hard on yourself. Remember that honor and dignity are important, but fanaticism in the use of these concepts often negates all the potentially positive effects. In relations with your colleagues, be friendly, but fair. If you hold a high-ranking position, you should not tolerate unpleasant personalities next to you, even if they are excellent professionals. 


Scorpio Love Horoscope

Your “love life” won’t bring you any significant events, even though in July, the Moon, as has been mentioned above, will side with Scorpios; the younger sister of the lord of the vault of heaven, which is traditionally considered the patroness of emotions and secret desires. This hint isn’t ambiguous at all, is it? This is good, because in the coming month you will be required to show all the straightforwardness that you’re capable of!

Under no circumstances allow yourself to get engaged in backroom intrigues and intricacies; all this should always be below your dignity and be dismissed at a very early stage. It is important to retain your original beliefs. Do not let your friends and family change your own views; it’ll be better to go on the offensive and try to plant at least a shred of doubt into their minds. Fight for your ideals, but peacefully and quietly, especially in the family circle, where you surely have no enemies.

TAURUS

You are in no short supply of energy and enthusiasm in July and what’s more is that you are highly determined and willing to work hard. On the downside, you may overdo things.

Moderation is the key in July – do not force anything or anyone.

Physically you may be pushing yourself too hard. It may be that you are training for something in the sporting vein and are pushing your body to the limits – it is very important to recognize limits right now. Perhaps more can be achieved if you ease back on the pressure.

It is vital right now that you respect other people’s limits as well, as part of the pressure you are putting yourself under may be directly impacting on someone you live with or work with, and you need to take their capabilities and feelings into account.

Too far too fast, is the pitfall in July. You have a certain air of invincibility which could lead you to over-extend yourself or miss certain warning signs. You need to be more aware of how what you do affects others; you could be accused of riding roughshod over others or of arrogance.

Ideally, you can achieve much in July and your positive drive attitude, when used to inspire and motivate others, can be very productive for everyone. However, if you act as if you are in a vacuum and are not responsive to the environment both social, political and emotional, you will waste time, energy and resources and not achieve much.

Taurus Monthly Love Horoscope
Are you perhaps being too demanding in July 2016? Is it all about you? A certain over-confidence could become overbearing and even bolshie, and this can really cause problems in relationships. Your opinions, work, ideas and needs may be overwhelming your partner; take a step back.

It may be hard for you to hold back in July 2016 in many respects, but if you can just focus on listening more and be more reactive to your partner, things will be far better.
The best use of the energies in July 2016 is if you and your partner can enjoy sporting or outdoor activities together – something that is energetic and consuming. There must, however, be give and take. Taureans are not in a very compromising mood right now: this month you will be more stubborn than usual and stronger willed, you are not that easy to deal with.

I think that Taureans will totally underestimate how they are coming across – you are just full of energy and go, and this can be an advantage in relationships if you can work towards something meaningful for BOTH of you. July is a passionate time in the bedroom for Taurus, sexually a very good time.

Taurus Career Horoscope
You are in a building phase of a new project now, and the difficulty is that some of the work you are doing feels as if it is at odds with the end goal. It can be hard to hold the vision while the groundwork is still ongoing – you must keep the faith in yourself and your goal. The long hours you put in now will begin to show dividends. Yielding to the needs and wants of colleagues, co-workers or interest groups should not be seen as a sign of weakness, but rather as a secret weapon this month. July is a good month to work on your public profile i.e. on LinkedIn or via business-to-business promotion. Avoid reckless decisions taken in a moment of anger or frustration.You may be headhunted this month – you never know where opportunities can arise.

VIRGO

Diplomacy and the intellectualizing of problems are very important in July. It’s not what you say but how you say it that counts, and you must be both tactful and mindful of other values and issues when you broach subjects.

Seeking compromise and middle ground is as beneficial to you as to others, and so it is the best way forward in July. You can be very indecisive in July, and it is best to take time for some detailed pro and con weighting before you commit to a choice – you may need to explain yourself later, and so the more you can convey how you weighed the options and what you took into account, the better for you. You are highly persuasive in July and your ability to see the other side and play devil’s advocate can really help you to nail a deal or convince someone of something.

Virgo Monthly Love Horoscope
The focus on communication within your relationships returns in July. Being on the same wavelength as your partner is vital to the health of your relationship, and you are looking to revitalize this element. You need more intellectual stimulation; you want the sole attention of your partner, not attention divided between you, the iPad, the iPhone, etc.

If the communication is not of the quality you expect, look to yourself for answers – have you been too critical? Have you been trying to score points rather than actually listening to what your partner has to say? Has your partner given up trying to talk to you as you over-analyze or rationalize away problems. Often Virgos are very analytical when perhaps all your lover wants to hear is “poor thing” or “that’s horrible.” Sometimes when someone pours their heart out they want sympathy and a hug, not analysis or being told why their problem is not really a problem. Learn to give people what they want when they share, rather than what you think they need. Often people just want to talk to get it out, and they don’t find a barrage of advice that helpful.

Love and understanding should be the focus of communication in July rather than detailed analysis.

Virgo Career Horoscope
In July focus on work that delivers concrete and verifiable results. Improve communication between colleagues and also in terms of vertical communication – chase things up, and if you do not hear from someone, get back to them and hurry them on.

You may decide to take a sabbatical, i.e. take time off work to pursue more training or arrange with your employers to sponsor you to study on to improve your prospects.

Many Virgos will be on vacation in July or experiencing a slowdown at work. If you are still at work, use this time to promote yourself and business via social networks – ensure all your profiles are up-to-date and improve SEO for your enterprise. This is an excellent time to highlight your businesses achievements in the local press; you may also want to hook up with other local business to pool funds for promo and advertising.
It is very important that you are in tune with social trends and mores and so immerse yourself in
magazines and the popular press so that you know what is going on – you cannot get away with being out of touch no matter what you do.

You can achieve more via creating synergies with similar business this month.

July is a very productive and enjoyable time at work for accountants, broadcasters, PAs, promoters and those who work in consumer products.
