Horoscope for the week beginning July 22
By Michael O’Connor
Tip of the week
The Sun enters Leo today, adding fuel to Mercury and Venus already there and in close alignment. We can generally expect a playful, creative and imaginative cycle. However, August especially is destined to be a dramatic month this year.
The emphasis leans towards spiritual perspectives, interests and concerns. How one defines spirituality is a feature of this creativity. In simple terms, the final definition remains open ended. Creative purpose or purposeful creativity, the possibilities are endless.
Yet, the core themes in this chart reveal the ideal and virtue of generating a deep and genuine sense of service. Beyond ethical considerations, the rewards of this mode of thinking and approach is a sense of purpose and therefore of meaningfulness. This week’s Horoscope will bring attention to these themes from the perspective of each sign of the Zodiac, the circle of life.

July 22 – 28
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 20)
Engaging in artistic activity of some kind as an end in itself will prove especially rewarding now. Considering that the purpose of life is to learn to be a conscious and responsible co-creator, any activity with this intention will qualify as valuable. Yet, the quality of your intention is the magical ingredient in the sauce.
Taurus (Apr 20 – May 21)
Directing your creative energies to home and family is likely now and will prove especially rewarding. Intentions to produce an atmosphere of beauty and inspiration can be the means as well as the consequence of your actions. Romance and passion are also featured so tune-in and embrace the mood with someone special.
Gemini (May 21 – June 21)
As one of the most artistic signs of the Zodiac, this current cycle is an invitation to actualize some of that potential. In fact, the results may be prolific. You can also expect to direct your focus to a variety of fronts, in alignment with your nature. Original design will prove especially inspiring and give you a boost of confidence.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
What are your gifts and talents? Do you have all the tools and resources you need at this time to engage them? A review of your inventory is the other side of making key investments. Taking stock of your skills for the sake of practical application and perhaps even new employment is also highlighted.
Leo (July 22 – Aug 23)
Your enthusiasm levels restored, the time is right to take new leads. This theme has actually been brewing all year, at least. But now it will feel especially strong. Discontent with existing conditions and their results may be the source of frustration and perhaps depression. Patience is important and so too is a deepening determination to break free.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22)
Entering the cave, classroom, lab or studio to engage in creative work will prove satisfying now. Work is the keyword and includes confronting fears. To do so, you must know what they are and that is your first task. Imagine that you must confront the monster in order to own your courage and strength and claim your power.
Libra (Sep 22 – Oct 22)
With each new day you are feeling happier, more empowered and more fully who you are as an individual. It may feel as though you have suddenly awakened from a dream or a trance. Inspired, you want to share your success with others, at least to socialize, relax and rejuvenate. Be open to new knowledge and disciplined to learn new skills.
Scorpio (Oct 22 – Nov 21)
Your ambitions and passions are at a peak. Getting the attention you want and feel you deserve is clearly on your mind. If you do not receive it you could become despondent, or angry. Your energy levels are probably running pretty high and can be harnessed to support your ambitions. Yet, a key to your success now is to serve a higher purpose.
Sagittarius (Nov 21 – Dec 21)
Your enthusiasm levels are on a steady rise. This is inspiring you to embark upon or at least dream about new adventures. Travel to foreign and exotic lands is highlighted. However you do it, breaking free from your usual routine feels extra strong now. Take hold of this restless spirit so it does not take a hold of you.
Capricorn (Dec 21 – Jan 19)
Your passions are deepening, steadily. Needs aside, what do you want and desire, or who? It is likely that you want a variety of things. Yet, it is extra important now that you direct your focus in order to actualize your ambitions. Missed opportunities are common in life; don’t let this be one of those times.
Aquarius (Jan 19 – Feb 19)
It is time to play, to engage with others and socialize more. The spirit of this cycle is somewhat rare so focus to make the most of it. Yet to do so may require extra effort and discipline. An attitude of gratitude, choosing to be happy and a spirit of adventure represent the formula of this success strategy.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20)
The time has come to expand your horizons, and you have work to do. Fortunately, the labors implied are of the creative kind. It is important that you take the initiative now and make extra efforts to break through inertia and activate a new momentum. Hesitation could prove quite costly in the shorter and the longer term too.
