Your daily horoscope: July 16

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Your mind will be running at full speed next year and with so many ideas coming and going, you need to be disciplined and focus on what’s most important. It’s time to rise from a very good amateur to a top class professional.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Don’t waste time trying to explain to other people what you plan to do this weekend. They’re unlikely to understand and even less likely to approve, so if you feel it’s right, just go with it. They will “get it” eventually.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Someone will enter your life this weekend who will shake things up a bit and bring a new sense of fun to your social activities. Make the most of their friendship while they’re with you, because they may soon be on their way again.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Changes on the work front might be a bit confusing right now as it’s hard to understand what’s happening and why, but that doesn’t mean you need to worry. In the long run, you will be one of the few who will benefit from the current upheaval.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You may not have accomplished as much as you wanted to in the last six months, but your goals aren’t that far off, so stay focused and stick to the plan you made at the start of the year—it’s still an extremely good one.

LEO (July 24 – August 23):

As one of the “fixed” signs of the zodiac, you’re not one to give up just because the going gets tough, and if you redouble your efforts over the next 48 hours, you’ll soon overcome whatever has been holding you back. You are a winner!

VIRGO (August 24 – September 23):

There may be a number of changes happening in your world right now, but the good news is that you will look back on them later in the year and realize that they were all for your benefit. The universe knows what you need.

LIBRA (September 24 – October 23):

It is extremely important to protect yourself if a colleague gives you a hard time this weekend. You may not care what they think of you, but if you don’t fight back, it can encourage others to give you a hard time as well.

SCORPIO (October 24 – November 22):

Someone joining your social group in the next 48 hours will make your heart beat faster and, yes, there may be a new love in your life. But don’t get so caught up in them that you neglect your commitments to existing friends.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 – December 21):

At some stage this weekend it will dawn on you that it is time to let go of something that is no longer worth the time, energy and money you have put into it. Cut your losses and end this once and for all.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 20):

Cosmic activity in your opposite sign can test relationships, but the good news is that the friendships and emotional attachments that survive this difficult time will bring you joy for the rest of your life. This is a necessary process.

AQUARIUS (January 21 – February 19):

It can be difficult to approach what you’re expected to do with energy and enthusiasm, but if you put in the effort, it can actually be a lot of fun. You may even find that you have a talent for activities that important people will pay handsomely for.

PISCES (February 20 – March 20):

It’s time to get serious about something of a creative or artistic nature that you’ve only been playing around with. The planets indicate that it is part of your destiny to develop your talent in this area and thereby bring joy to the world.
