Horoscopes: Love speaks loudly By Imhotep The less sensitive and understanding might accuse you, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 Jun-22 Jul) are sometimes called, of dabbling in the devious art of political spinning. The second half of July bestows many blessings on people born under the Moon sign of Cancer. Most people around you, my dear Crabs, aren't expecting you to shape things up. But, once you get their attention, make your point in the most dramatic and creative way you can. And, Crabs are indeed the most creative of creatures. Getting up close and personal with someone you just adore will be easy as pie -- and probably unavoidable, my dear Crabs. Don't shy away from exchanging promises. Rest assured they'd be kept. Women Cancerians might have an emotionally turbulent time in the weeks ahead. Pour your hearts out to those who care to listen sympathetically. Cry buckets. Cry and don't hold back those tears. And do take note, a dear friend is inching ever closer towards asking for a commitment. You've been thinking about it more and more, wondering how it will all work out. July, my dear Crabs, is a great month for promises that are to be kept forever. Brief encounters can go a long way towards unlocking powerful emotions. Look for the common thread in all the meetings you have right now. Change happens when you see the commonalties, not the differences. You are putting out fires everywhere, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 Jul-22 Aug) are sometimes called. This looks like a no-win situation only because you chose to see it in terms of winning and losing, my dear Lions. Your thirst to learn anything and everything you possibly can, regardless of the subject matter, will be relentless by late June. Make sure your library card is current, and prepare to spend lots of time sleuthing. Nothing brings applause like responsible behaviour. Do your best to take care of others. If this means burning the candle at both ends, set aside and tend the home fire instead. The future matters more than ever. You're running on empty. Slow down before you have an accident. If you must keep going, fill the next few weeks with simple, unimportant things. In the best of all worlds, you'd step back from the edge and sit down. You simply must accept that you cannot always face the stresses and the strains of your job. Sometimes in life one needs a break. So, take it easy. Maybe it is time to get out of the rat-race and go work on a farm or become a lifeguard on some remote stretch of beach. It's not a long-term solution, but it's well worth a try. Your keen business sense has never been sharper. Closing a deal is a fine art. Keep family and friends out of you business. Tell them to mind their own business. The deal will be struck with a perfect stranger. Staying flexible is the key. Cupid's arrows are flying all over the place, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 Aug-22 Sep) are sometimes called. And, this will probably go on all summer. Love will work wonders for Virgoans in the weeks ahead. It would be one of those endless romantic summers, the most memorable of days. Enjoy. The person who offered you so many options a month or two ago now pressures you for a decision. Take your time, think and re-think before you give an answer. Keep your ears open, my dear Virgoans, for someone who'll express an extremely different point of view than most people you know. They'll fascinate you and maybe intimidate you a little, but you'll definitely learn something in the process. You are, my dear Virgoans, thinking about making dramatic changes to your home. Go ahead. July makes for perfect timing. Treat yourself to something special. Your emotions will be right over the top, so doing something nice for yourself certainly couldn't hurt. That includes spending time with someone you love, of course. Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius
