What do your July stars have in store? Astrologer Jessica Adams charts your month ahead
ARIES
Spend the first two weeks on your town, country, house, apartment, family or household. Two weeks of total focus will reward you for six months.
The final fortnight is about a lover who can bring the world of children or teenagers closer – or the younger generation as a whole. Big new beginning!
Use all the solutions and opportunities coming your way and your lifestyle will be upgraded sensationally within weeks. Snap up advantages.
For real career power, summon up all your self-control and be the boss of your own success. Unless you do this, old patterns will keep you stuck.
You are in a fantastic position to address your number one body issue, this month. It may be medical, or just superficial, but reach for answers.
TAURUS
The internet, multimedia, publishing or other mediums for your voice, words or ideas will take up huge amounts of time and energy. It’s worth it.
The beautiful patterns in Leo will bring an amazing new chapter for your family, house, country, town, apartment or household with a fresh start in August.
The world of children, young adults or the lovers who may introduce you to it, one day, should be your priority as lucky Jupiter lights up your chart.
At last, you will close a chapter that never ended, involving your former, current or potential partner. You will see movement in the closing days of July.
If you took on a rival, enemy or opponent you could not match, you may have wasted time or energy, yet near July 27th you can liberate yourself. Move on.
GEMINI
It’s all about your money, house, apartment, charity, possessions or business in July. Milestone decisions are coming and will alter your life.
A glittering stellium in your internet, multimedia and communication zone highlights a remarkable project or piece of technology with rewards coming rapidly.
Your lifestyle, housework and paid (or unpaid) work has remained unresolved for months as it has been impossible to finalise things – yet progress is close.
Make your house, home town, homeland, apartment, family or household the absolute priority as you will gain enormously if you pursue one huge goal.
Smart Gemini people will use astrology to their advantage and fly the flag for Britain, or their home county, with lucky Jupiter in this zone of their chart.
CANCER
The final half of July is all about your money, property, business, possessions or charity so prepare for some serious number-crunching.
Target your internet, multimedia, publishing or academic goals and wrap it up before Mercury Retrograde Shadow begins on 10th August.
You will relaunch yourself on the New Moon with a new look, publicity or self-promotion. It won’t change your life but it will influence your month.
