  Daily stars for today 24 July 2008

Success is a blend of a small portion of inspiration and a considerably larger amount of persistence. Keep this in mind when others reject certain ideas. If you're confident that what you're proposing is worthwhile, do everything you can to express those feelings to the individuals in question. If you can manage that, your struggles are over.

  Your stars for the week beginning 20 July 2008

You’re facing constant, and unsettling, changes and others are complaining nonstop. Still, each day invest a certain amount of time in reflecting on your life, relationships, practical matters and goals – both those you’ve achieved and as yet unrealised objectives. This isn’t mere daydreaming. It’s preparing you for the changes in both circumstances and, as important, in your perspective triggered by the eclipsed Leo New Moon late next week. This also triggers dramatic changes in the world around you. This prepares you for those events that make it clear what must go and begin the cycle life-changing and, often entirely unexpected, developments.

  Your monthly stars for July

Tempting as it is to battle seemingly unfair burdens or find a clever way around practical or financial obligations, you’re better off tackling these head on. Face even difficult facts first, and make whatever decisions you must. This results in exciting discussions with both those you already know and leads to intriguing encounters. Explore everything but make no decisions. That ensures you’re free to make dramatic changes in response of the Leo New Moon, on August 1st, which constitutes your own personal new year.

  Your year to come 2008

After a demanding period, the tide has turned – and more spectacularly than you’d have imagined possible. Some benefits involve work or money and are the result of your efforts over the past years. Others are just sheer luck. The trick in each of these is to move quickly in response to both practical offers and golden opportunities then, later, check the facts carefully. This is a swift-paced year, so you’ve little time to wonder whether changes are wise. Relations with loved ones have their ups and downs. While unsettling, this, too, encourages badly needed discussion. With change in the air, you’re deciding which direction suits you and others.

Love and Relationships: Ordinarily you avoid lengthy discussions, mostly because they only seem to complicate matters. But during 2008 you’ve a backlog of misunderstandings to clear up. Tackle them as issues arise and you’ll put most to rest with surprising ease.

Finances and Work: The year’s theme is “what’s worth my time?” a question that’s more complicated than it at first appears. But whether it’s your finances, ideas or your efforts, it’s vital that you think carefully about what you’re getting for what you’re giving. What you learn could reshape your life.

Health and Well Being: There’s a difference between looking good, which you undoubtedly do, and being in good shape. Stress, excesses of various kinds and lack of the right food could take their toll, in the form of peculiar ailments. If so, it’s time to for an overhaul of your diet and exercise habits.
