Today's Horoscope for Saturday July 19th
You may not manage to get everything your own way but will have to negotiate to get fairer agreements. You may be tempted to stamp your foot and issue ultimatums but that won't work well. Much better to play it softly behind the scenes and pull strings effectively. The roundabout route may well be the best one at the moment so do not think of yourself as timid, just sensible. Stand steady until you reach a sensible compromise, then let go.
The Weekly Outlook from 14th July
You Will need to push hard to keep your concentration steady with Mercury going retrograde for three weeks. You will get easily distracted and be bored with having to listen to feedback. You may say things that startle those close to amuse yourself. Out and about in the swing of things you will be popular with friends and in group activities. Later you may be slow to make up your mind about a tricky dilemma but once a decision is reached you will not budge.
Your Monthly Horoscope for July
A lively, adventurous social life will put a sparkle in your eye as you mix with a fun crowd and explore new activities. Though your main motivation will be to push ambitious projects ahead to gain prominence and attention in the days ahead. This is your peak for the year so there's no sense in being a shrinking violet and hiding your talents and achievements out of sight. A definite shift in direction and atmosphere comes from the 7th onwards as Uranus moves into a new sign which only happens every seven years or thereabouts. Its recent stay in Taurus has been unpredictable financially and emotionally which should now start to ease. Moving into Gemini ahead, an Air sign like your own, you will be opening your mind to new ideas and beliefs, keen to spread your views as widely as possible. Take time out around the 10th to tackle a few family and domestic matters. Into the final ten days you will be surrounded by friends offering support and advice. There may be tensions with a loved one which you will handle better by staying light hearted and detached.
and Next Month's Horoscope for August
Having been held back recently you'll be raring to go and revving up your engine. A fun and supportive circle of friends will be on hand to keep you company and offer advice. Any group activities will go with a swing. After the 6th you'll be full speed ahead, pushing obstacles and slow coaches to one side. You won't always be tactful since cutting through confusion and indecision will require a direct approach. But you will make progress and have an impact. Close relationships will be up and down, since responsibilities and duties may get in the way of relaxation and misunderstandings may crop up since you won't always be clear about your commitments. You'll still put on a sparkling performance at social functions and will be invited to the best places where you will turn on the charm to good effect. Into the final week you'll slow down and step back, keen to let others do the running around while you take a breather.
Year Ahead 2025
Finding balance is your ideal but the way to achieve your goal often means you swing from extreme to the opposite in an effort to get a foothold on that treasured middle ground. Continuing changes from last year mean you will be keen to make your mark socially and focusing attention on close relationships to ensure loved ones stay close at hand. Try not to come on too strong or be overly possessive. Certain relationships will move through a cool phase where loyalty will mean more than passionate affection. At times duty will interfere with pleasure as heavier responsibilities land on you. At other times you may find those close evasive or uncertain, not willing to commit to your plans and wishes. Be sympathetic since they may be in a different place in their lives with their own concerns. The good bonds will strengthen through challenging times. You?ll be opening your mind to alternative beliefs and opinions as you start a longish process of adjusting your outlook and attitudes to fit in with the new circumstances of your life. The adventurous ideas and hopes you have in the first half year can be put into practice after June and success should crown your efforts with almost everything you tackle bringing good results. Taking time out for private reflection will also be essential as part of your balancing act. The September Eclipse will prompt you to be inward looking and gain perspective on the past as a way of finding the best route forward.
