Horoscopes (July 9-15)

There is no point in getting too excited this week about something that may never happen. Today’s full moon in Capricorn, followed by tomorrow’s Sun-Pluto opposition, is liable to make partners and loved ones overemotional and overexcitable. Stay calm and the moment will pass.

However tempting it may be to digress from your normal routine, your chart indicates you’d be well advised to stick with it for the moment. There are no short cuts to what you want to achieve and the more organised you are about pursuing it, the sooner it will be yours.

This should be an eventful week, hopefully for all the right reasons. A full moon in sympathetic Capricorn bodes well for creative and artistic projects and you won’t want to take no for an answer where affairs of the heart are concerned. Make the most of your opportunities.

If others are constantly trying to enlist your aid or approval, you should be flattered even if it means taking a raincheck on something you’re hoping to do for yourself. You can be sure time spent helping others will not be wasted and may well be reciprocated a hundredfold.

However unusual or outrageous the ideas you have this week, don’t dismiss them out of hand because there’s sure to be something that will make life more rewarding. Even if it’s not the most practical idea you’ve ever had, it can still be made to work if you really want it to.

You may be feeling rather more emotional than usual but it’s certainly nothing to worry about. In fact, today’s full moon signifies the end of a chapter you will not be sorry to see closed. Now it’s up to you to write a script for the future. Do so with confidence – tomorrow is another day.

A full moon in your birth sign may make you feel strongly about a certain undertaking or issue and there is much you can do to put those feelings into effect. Don’t worry if others seem less than supportive. This is one bandwagon you can climb on all by yourself.

Doubt who you will, but never doubt yourself – especially now that you have got so much working in your favour. A full moon in the most impressionable area of your chart may make you particularly sensitive but that is no reason to undermine your talents and skills.

It is sometimes better not to try too hard – especially when certain people are watching your every move. In fact, what you try to accomplish this week can be achieved with the minimum of effort. Relax – and you will find you reach your destination in record time.

A full moon at the sensitive midheaven point of your solar chart means that as one door closes, another opens. You are now in a position to reinvent yourself in whatever way you choose. Since you are the most important person in your life, don’t skimp on the trimmings.

Although today’s full moon in your fellow Earth sign of Capricorn is sure to cause tension you’ll at least be able to handle it. And the best way to handle people who try to make life complicated is to leave them to it while you go somewhere more interesting.

Although you are tempted to make a commitment of some kind, this is not the best time to do so. A full moon in Capricorn means you will not be thinking things through as deeply as you should. Wait until later in the week and you will be much more likely to make the right decision.
