Wednesday July 12

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You may be alternatively contrary and agreeable, depending on the prevailing mood or situation. And while this could leave some of your loved ones or associates confused, others will find your capriciousness attractive and seductive.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Consistency might not be your strong point this week, but there is potential for excitement with regards to environmental changes. Meantime, if you are looking to break the ice with someone, make a controversial move or statement.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Astute in so many ways, you could easily outsmart yourself today. Avoid being too cocky and keep witty remarks to a minimum around people who have little or no sense of humour. Life is all about balance.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
You may be slightly unnerved by a request, but will see it as a challenge. Lively Mercury spurs you into action and your days of being a spectator rather than a participant look like drawing to a close.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Expect your subtlety to be lost on clueless people who do not share your wavelength. In contrast, compatible colleagues and friends will virtually finish your sentences or anticipate your needs. Let your true spirit shine brightly.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
At best you will fly under the radar, at worst you might be utterly unproductive. Your usual work ethic could desert you this week and your greatest desire may be to just blend into the background.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You could be happily travelling down a particular path when out of the blue you are compelled to change direction. And rather than being thrown by circumstances, you will almost certainly enjoy the change of scene or routine.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
While your intentions may be good, your timing could be off. Put plenty of thought into planning and production, avoiding impulsive moves or decisions. The scales will tip back in your favour soon, so bide your time.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Someone may seek your opinion and then ignore your advice. Your role should be seen as that of listener rather than counsellor and you must avoid taking rejection to heart. A sense of humour will sustain you.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You may sense an attraction, but will be reluctant to follow through. Doing the right thing by others is an inherent trait of yours and despite flights of fancy you usually follow strict moral and ethical codes.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Although people often find your impertinence engaging, it would be wise to tone down the sarcasm today. Levity in certain situations may be fine, but in other instances it will be totally inappropriate to talk back.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
Be prepared to experiment if conventional methods are not working. Thinking outside the square could produce some wacky and wonderful ideas, as well as broadening your general outlook on life. A goal comes within your grasp.

YOUR DAY
Idealistic views may not be shared by everyone and should not be thrust down other people's throats. Live and let live is today's mantra and those who ignore that message do so at their own peril. The more opinions and ideas put forward, the better results are likely to be.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
You may drag your feet over a decision, but eventually a difficult choice must be made. To ensure you feel happy about changes and outcomes, research all your options thoroughly and consult with loved ones. Peace of mind is paramount to your wellbeing this year.
