Horoscopes: Wednesday, 8 July

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Change revitalises you and helps restore lost confidence. Now is the time to renew your push for personal freedom and greater variety or recognition. When practical help is needed, turn to your colleagues.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
You are astute and manage to outsmart someone. Business-like lunar energy renders you a natural in the area of commerce and problem-solving. Life balance is not as important as perfect outcomes.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You look on alarming situations as personal challenges. Your expansion zone is featured and the days of playing spectator not participant are drawing to a close. Practice taking a few cautious risks.
CANCER: (June 22 to July 23) Your word is watertight today. Credible energy generates trust and others take you at face value rather than seeking your signature. Promises made and kept add further weight to your already solid reputation.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You fly under the radar and become a quiet achiever. Mars, the self-starting planet, courses through the honesty sector and instead of boasting about your natural aptitude, you choose to lead by example.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
As you wake from self-induced hibernation, fresh light is thrown on situations. You become re attuned to your environment and the people in it, yet continue on a steep learning curve.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Not only are your intentions pure but timing is spot-on. Whether you are brokering a peace deal, seeking a favour or presenting a proposal, associates are receptive and results fall your way.
SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
You are at your talkative best. Others engage you in conversations covering a wide range of topics and not a moment of chat bores you. The energy is left fertile for interaction and information gathering.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
The chemistry you feel with someone is unique but not necessarily lasting. Opposites attract although a spark may be instant, it can burn out just as quickly. Live for the moment.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You are on a roll and reluctant to take a break. Fortunately planetary patterns are working in your favour and you garner support from close associates. Capricorns are currently the zodiac master communicators.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Good news filters through and you regain someone's trust. Appropriate words spring to mind when needed and you have a happy knack of communicating messages perfectly. An upbeat approach also works to advantage.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
You are agreeable and can capture attention easily. Compatible lunar energy puts you in the box seat, so ply your charms in the company of others. Positive interaction brings a boost to relationships.

YOUR DAY
A flurry of activity helps bring situations to swift conclusions. The fine details are not lost in the rush nor are overall results affected. Concentration combined with quick thinking is the key.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You are inwardly strong and outwardly sensitive. In upcoming months building blocks for the future must be put into place but working partnerships should only be formed with like-minded people.
