  Daily stars for today 24 July 2008

Being the Capricorn that you are, you've thought through various plans long into the future. Reassuring as knowing what you intend to do might be, things aren't nearly that simple. In fact by once the first of August's two eclipses have taken place, you'll realise that even the most fundamental of arrangements must be considered tentative.

  Your stars for the week beginning 20 July 2008

The recent Capricorn Full Moon heightened both your emotions and those of others. Tempting as it is to do the minimum, then put these behind you, invest time in talking things through. This proves less demanding than you feared, and more informative than you believed possible. It also puts you in an inquisitive frame of mind, which means you’ll be ready for the amazing offers that arise around Saturday’s stunning alliance between Mars and the expansive Jupiter, which is in your sign all year. These, too, promise to broaden your horizons, but this time it’s study, travel or spiritual goals that are on offer.

  Your monthly stars for July

For ages you’ve been tiptoeing around certain tricky issues and sensitive individuals, fearing the upset that addressing problems directly would cause. Now events force your hand. This isn’t just a relief, dramas around the Capricorn Full Moon on the 18th clear the air, personally and in tension situations involving others. Meanwhile, you’re giving serious thought to activities that would involve study, travel or new ideas, and enable you to break away from restrictive patterns. Here, too, while initially plagued by doubts, you’re soon eagerly broadening your horizons.

  Your year to come 2008

Often gifts come peculiarly wrapped. Remember that and you’ll recognise both situations in which familiar parts of your life suddenly vanish, and unexpected changes as the golden opportunities that they are. In some cases, it soon becomes clear how you’ll benefit from events or who you encounter. But others begin a journey of exploration, study or even of personal transformation. While this could be the realisation of long cherished dreams, what turns out best could just as well be the result of situations beyond your control. Knowing that, when confronted with such developments, instead of struggling for control, you’ll adopt an inquisitive approach.

Love and Relationships: Inevitably your busy schedule will upset others. The remedy? Regular times together, to update them. And keep these dates. Breaking them only undermines your efforts. Similarly, new encounters are important, if not life-changing, which means time for socialising is as important as professional commitments.

Finances and Work: What you do and explore now could provide for years of activity, achievement and income. This could mean juggling current obligations with something new. Demanding as this is, you end the year with more options than before. If you’re overdoing, you can narrow down your activities later, when you know more.

Health and Well Being: Get yourself on a regime that’s realistic, that is not too time-consuming, as the year begins and you’ll stick to it. You’ll need it. Exciting as this year of growth may be, it will also make huge demands on your energy.
