July steams as seven retrograde planets run amok. That means that we may be surprised at how our harmless antics can get us into deep trouble. But hey, isn’t Troublemaker our middle name?

Cancer (June 22-July 23

Your sex life can get completely out of control this July, Cancer. The combination of your voracious appetite and increasing charisma mixes into a strong love potion. But try to dab it on carefully. You attract lover girls like moths to your flame. How many of them can you possible balance in your overcrowded schedule? Oh, anticipation builds…!

Leo (July 24-Aug 23)

Leos usually love a challenge, which explains why they are tempted to upset the careful balance in some of their closest relationships right now. Are you just bored? If so, prepare for a much more exciting July as your social life heats up and places you in some of the most interesting situations with influential women. Talk less and listen more. You never know when a secret will be revealed.

Virgo (Aug 24-Sept 23)

Virgos might be more interested in health and wellness this July but take baby steps to your physical perfection. You are anxious for results but may sprain a muscle on the exercise machine in the process. Slow and steady not only gets you in top form, but it also helps you move and groove with a certain secret admirer who likes what she sees from afar… and even more so as she gets closer.

Libra (Sept 24-Oct 23).

Girlfriends want your full attention but you may be too busy partying around town to spare a moment. Life is festive and fun this July. But try to find time in your busy schedule for those who have been with you and will continue to be with you for the long haul. Libras may also want to tap into and expand their artistic side. Does nude body painting qualify?

Scorpio (Oct 24-Nov 22)

While your desires focus on your worldly success, your attention will be demanded at home because of more routine issues. Things have a way of going boom when you least expect it (and possibly through your own reckless actions, sorry to say). But there is cause for future hope as your public and private lives soon align. Show them who you really are, Scorpio, corporate mastermind and all.

Sagittarius (Nov 23-Dec 22)

You may say things that you later regret or do things that you might think twice about later. But that is all part of the life learning process that is in store for Sagittarians this July. Oh goody. Thank goodness you have a few new tricks up your sleeve that can make any uncomfortable situation a cause for laughter and forgiveness. How far will that take you? Hopefully to Paris with you-know-who.

Capricorn (Dec 23-Jan 20).

Money drips in and gushes out this July. Capricorns who thought that they had early retirement in the bag may find a gaping hole in it. But at least you will fully enjoy yourself as a bevy of sexy party girls gravitates to your door. By the end of the summer, your practical nature returns and you can invest and recoup from your torrid times. You expected to return to work on Monday anyway….

Aquarius (Jan 21-Feb 19)

Aquarians burst onto the social scene like a supernova. Or is it a tabloid celebrity? Walk into the centre stage without tripping and all will go well. You are a dynamo with great ideas and powerful future plans. Meet and greet and sweep ‘em off their feet. You might even rub elbows with a potential new partner. Will it turn to business or pleasure? Let’s just see….

Pisces (Feb 20-March 20).

You may not realize it but there is a great deal of chaos going on behind the scenes in your life now. Guppies who seek quiet meditation may not get that close to nirvana in July. But on the other hand, life will be interesting and exciting. There might be extra intrigue at work as a certain colleague has her eye on you. What else will she eventually place on you? Whoo-hoo!

Aries (March 21-April 20)

Gal pals may infer that you are on board with their plans but they might be mistaken. In fact, Aries, you know exactly what you want to do and that may or may not jibe with the groupthink. Your idea of fun may be too radical for the movement. Your interests may focus on the unorthodox. So dance your dance and see who follows this July. Dancing in a cellophane suit may get you even more followers.

Taurus (April 21-May 21

Taureans may run like the rampaging bull in a china shop now but any breakage may be all for the good. You didn’t need those dust collectors anyway. So let’s get out with the old this July, baby! Turn a new page, go in a new direction and reconfigure your domestic agenda to include more sweets and savouries in your pantry. Get cooking while your temperature is hot, hot, hot.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Any far-fetched adventure may lead you astray this July, but isn’t that the point, Gemini? Take to the streets and give your personal voice free range. In fact, take your best ideas to a global level and see how the earth can tilt in your eventual favour. The road may be long and hard, but the destination will be worth it. A ladies-only island? I guess we can dream.
