~ HOROSCOPE JULY 16 2012 ~

[MysteRy]

You may decide that now is a good day to help the new person in your department. This person seemed to be struggling and you think you might be able to help. Today you can see a new opportunity to make a few changes in your own life. Status and security goals need rethinking. Your career is a focus for this, but your home and family situation are also involved. Finances--purchases, investments and credit in particular--could stand some clear thinking. You and your family will prosper from new skills in financial planning. Planning and communicating about a budget system may be in everyone's best interest. There is unexpected help or support from those around you, especially someone younger. You may be able to pay off some bills soon.

[MysteRy]

You will find that this day holds numerous opportunities; at work, or outside of work hours! Your enthusiasm to get a lot accomplished, whether alone or as the leader of a group, is contagious. If you have your own business, you may find this is the best time to increase your inventory, hire new people or work on a new ad campaign. If you are an employee, you may find that your superiors are watching your progress. You can expect or ask for a new responsibility, which may lead to a raise or promotion. You know what you want and what you can do. Now show them! You have the ability to put ideas into words and give others a feeling for what things mean--communicating with words. Your mind is sharp, quick, clever and entertaining.

[MysteRy]

You will find your interest in business is on the uphill run. A new person, a new project, something has peaked your interest. Your decision-making abilities are in high form. Intellectual creativity is highlighted and your social connections have a flair of drama to them. Winning the admiration of others for what you say or write and the way you do it, takes on more importance in your life just now. An important relationship, perhaps with an older person or someone in authority, may come into focus this afternoon. An opportunity for understanding and even growth is available. Independence, as well as anything unusual or different, is valued. New ideas, writing, researching and other sciences are what draw you to a bookstore this evening.

[MysteRy]

Decisive action is called for today. How you respond to change and maintain your independence is a major focus for you now. You are not interested in the superficial; instead, you want to get right to the root of things. A change of residence could be in order so as to take advantage of new career opportunities. This could come about quite suddenly. Family ties may be in a state of flux: someone wants to be more independent in a very radical way. Fate sends opportunity your way if you listen to your instincts and give your natural sense of curiosity a free rein. Education in some form may help uncover some of the answers that will give you the advantage you seek. This could mean lectures, continued education or even community interest classes.

[MysteRy]

There are scattered energies today. From time to time you may find yourself puzzling over people and situations; however, this is a day to walk away. You may feel like retaliating some behavior of a friend, co-worker or family member but given time, the energies will calm and questions will form to wonder what instigated all the confusion. You will not establish anything permanent at this time, so this might be a good time to complete tasks and chores. It would also be best to concentrate on routine matters for now. This afternoon there will be a little time to prop your feet up and snooze a bit--take advantage of that time. Close bonds and interactions with loved ones are where most people will be able to find you this evening.

[MysteRy]

If ever there was a day to work with groups, this is it. Your acute sensitivity to other people's moods could enable you to fine-tune those moods as you would a violin. You could obtain or sell most anything at this time--you understand a good transaction. Others will think you have done them a favor! You will love being around people this afternoon, particularly those with whom you are emotionally attached. Better yet, old friends and familiar places may bring about much laughter from old memories. Fondness and appreciation for the past and for your roots in life take on greater importance for you now. Making your home situation more pleasant and attractive plays a part in this and the sale or purchase of real estate could bring you much gain.

[MysteRy]

The urge is strong to indulge yourself today. You may be thinking that you just cannot do without that new expensive electronic toy you saw the other day. Perhaps the desire is for food . . . that tempting chocolate cake at an office birthday party. Of course, these things can be very enjoyable if you do not overdo it. Check with the budget and check those calories--moderation. Later today, you could be in situations that would cause you to listen to complaints of the public or co-workers. You are willing to listen to others, take cues and then reflect and build upon that information. Others find you gentle and, for the most part, kind. You have a ready ear. A planned gathering with friends later this evening makes your day zoom by quickly.

[MysteRy]

You will find that today is a high achievement day. This is a time of decision--small changes can have big effects later on down the road. Make the right choice and it rebounds to your benefit; the wrong choice does you no favors. Thinking before action is a good thing. You are very communicative today and talking, writing, broadcasting . . . even by car, may interest you. Careful, a news story or piece of gossip may need holding back for a while. You are happiest today when you are absorbed in the variety and complexities of life. You naturally are a giving person, sacrificing your own interests for the sake of an inner vision--what you feel is right. You will certainly be pleased by the personal and professional opportunities this day brings forth.

[MysteRy]

This may be a day to make lists and check off the most important tasks. There is danger of your being misled or becoming too carried away with some plan or idea. This is a day to honor your responsibilities and concentrate on the things it takes to get you ahead in life. Be sure to take your regular breaks, walk and climb stairs. This is the time to pursue your obligations with much enthusiasm. Seek to find the balance that is between extravagance and frugal--in all your affairs. Talking things over with a professional counselor may help you create and plan for new and better professional goals. Perhaps a new financial portfolio is in order. A domestic or charity project turns into a fun adventure later this afternoon. Familiar faces keep appearing.

[MysteRy]

You and your workmates or partners are in for a successful day. Projects get off to a good start. Break time may be full of a variety of people that seem to want to involve themselves in competition--any competition. One person does a little shuffle dance and another person shows off with a Riverdance routine. Making your mark on the world has special significance for you but other than having a bit of fun occasionally, you may want to leave the competition to those looking for a job on stage. True enough, achievement, ambition and authority take on greater importance. This afternoon's work will give you plenty of opportunities to show your talents. You or a mate has a chance to travel soon--good things happen.

[MysteRy]

You could be stressed this morning. You may think that whatever does not contribute to security and other long-term goals is trivial--but everything matters--we just may not know all the answers from moment to moment. You may come to realize that part of your life work is to provoke others, perhaps even yourself, into thought, creativeness, reassessments or change. You could be a bit compulsive in the way you react to people with whom you are emotionally involved. You will not be going to a fire and problems do not have to be solved instantly--slow down, smell the flowers and have faith in your own good abilities. There is an opportunity to relax and enjoy the company of a friend this evening--fun times ahead.

[MysteRy]

The exchange of ideas and information is likely to be a special challenge now. Because of extra time away from the workplace last week, today could be a catch up type of day. Everyone also seems to be in a hurry--on the road and in the office. In order to successfully achieve some meaningful end result here, you must allow yourself time to think through decisions and ask questions when necessary--perhaps by confirming instructions. Avoid acting on rumors or unverified reports. You may feel emotionally frustrated. Your feelings are going against much of what you value, so make way for possible difficulty. Kick your feet up this evening and enjoy a light dinner and some quiet time. Perform random acts of kindness this evening.
