Wednesday July 26

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
Recent trials and tribulations can be put to rest, thanks in part to the loving support from the people around you. Also, your social life and personal are intertwined, making this an excellent time to network.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
Ruling Venus opens up discussions and puts relationships on a firmer footing. If you have been searching for love, understanding or you desire a change in routine, you can confidently expect things to start flowing your way.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
Left to your own devices you can make money and progress. However, if others are there to monitor your moves and methods some of the initiative might be lost. You are at your creative and crazy best.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
In a prudent mood, you may cut costs or keep company only with a chosen few. But because you want to look and feel your best, denying yourself the creature comforts will not be an option.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
You may feel a surge of sympathy for someone and will be happy to help and advise. Moon in your sign gives you good intentions, but warns against becoming too emotionally involved with other people.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Thoughts will come and go, but some may have to be edited if you want to remain friends with people. Speaking your mind is an inherent trait, but if you have something to say today, keep it positive.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
Good fortune could flow through your contacts and chance encounters might soon be the catalyst for overdue change. Keep all your options open this week and watch out for those subtle signals others are transmitting to you.

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If your self-confidence could do with a boost, endear yourself to others and fish for compliments. There is a spirit of generosity evident and you might as well share in the goodwill currently being generated.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
There are mixed blessings for your sign, with fiery energy propelling you forward and pragmatic forces holding you back. Once you get on a roll, try to keep the momentum going. During the lull, spend time planning.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
You may be tempted to burn your bridges, but should keep one or two options open for potential later use. Put your own interests ahead of noble actions or martyrdom and you will not be sorry.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
The desire to bring harmony into your life and relationships could use up much of your energy. However once you engage people they will be in your corner as an essential part of your support network.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
If a situation seems to have taken on a life of its own, you will have difficulty taking back control. Start by chipping away slowly at essential tasks and follow through with strong-minded decisions or ruthless culling.

YOUR DAY
Many will be fired up and ready for action. Now that the new lunar cycle is underway, energy is building and there could be lively interaction, grandiose gestures or big-picture launches to perk up the day. Self-belief is also stronger at this time and destiny can be created.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Without realising it you may be slowly re-shaping the pattern of your life, career or close relationships. And those itchy feet you sense are a symbol for change at the highest level. Be bold with your choices and go to places you have never been before.
