Horoscopes: Do's and dont's

Horoscopes:
Do's and dont's
By Imhotep
Roadblocks, delays and last minute turnarounds make you crazy, especially when you're already feeling a bit on the vulnerable side, my dear Rams as people born under the Cardinal Fire sign of Aries (21 Mar-21 Apr) are sometimes called. If they happen along now, though, you'll handle them just fine with your secret weapon -- optimism and positive thinking.
Are you seeing a certain unsettling situation as it really is, or are you just seeing it as you are? Remember that there is a bird's eye view and a much larger perspective. Keep both of them in mind to stay balanced. And, remember that while it is important to have appropriate emotional boundaries, make sure you don't force yourself to say behind them for longer than necessary. Rams are born free spirits.
There is a difference between a sense of privacy and simply isolating yourself. Rams crave freedom, they loathe shackles of any kind. They also like to lead the parade, so just be yourself and let go.
Indeed, an inner journey takes precedence over any outward appearance in the weeks ahead. Others may question what you are doing, but you do know your motives, and even more importantly you trust your instincts. This is your path.
Something is overwhelming you right now, my dear Bulls, as people born under the Fixed Earth sign of Taurus (22 Apr-22 May) are sometimes called, but you are not sure what to do about it. Whether it's too many responses to a personal problem or a yearning for a past relationship, let it ride for a while.
Someone is stirring up your emotional pot and it is both unsettling and exciting -- you haven't felt like this in quite some time. Just don't let the bubble of feelings drown out your all-important intuition.
Loved ones and co-workers treat you with respect when you treat yourself with respect. Isn't it funny how that works? So rise to meet this challenge with your ethics and your sense of integrity not only intact, but functioning. It is all part of the wonder of having a heart that is fully engaged with the world around you.
And, my dear Bulls, you can expect some major emotional waves right about now -- luckily you are good at riding them out.
Your creative energy is still going strong in July and you may want to share it with the right person. Watch out for fluctuating emotions throughout July -- though they shouldn't stop cold.
Partnerships, or potential ones, are liable to run into little difficulties at the moment. For, single Bulls, if you are entertaining the idea of becoming duo with a certain someone, think it over more than actively pursuing it. Taureans are practical people, after all.
Now that you're seeing things more clearly, my dear Twins, as people born under the Mutable Air sign of Gemini (23 May-22 Jun) are sometimes called, luck's suddenly on your side -- funny how that works. It is as if by just opening your eyes, you're able to draw experiences and greater people to you. While you probably wouldn't need them, make sure to have a couple of back-up plans in place. Even though it may seem like a waste of time right now, the peace of mind you'll gain will be well worth it.
If you don't stand up for yourself, who will? You shouldn't feel funny about asking for and ultimately getting what you want. Saying "no thanks" to a romantic situation that isn't quite right feels empowering. You need time to think over carefully all aspects of the relationship -- and don't rule anything out.
It is almost like you can read people's minds, my dear Twins -- you know what people are thinking and what they really need. That's why you are able to create something that is simultaneously of-the- moment and timeless.
Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Cancer, Leo and Virgo
