Horoscope: Tuesday, Jul 15

You may be eager to get started on your next big project but if you are smart you will go over your plans carefully and make sure they are foolproof. Not because you’re a fool – far from it – but you do sometimes move too fast and make mistakes.

You can cut through to the truth quite easily today, Taurus, so don't hesitate to do so. If you come to an intersection and no one seems to know who should go next, take the initiative and go. It might not be a bad idea to signal your intentions to the other drivers before you make your move. Being aggressive with your actions doesn't mean you have to be reckless.

Certain individuals seem to be rather needy at the moment, which suggests they are feeling emotionally neglected. It might be wise to stop what you are doing and devote the day entirely to them. Hopefully they won’t be quite so demanding tomorrow.

Certain habits and routines have outlived their usefulness and must now be junked so you can move on to something better. On this occasion you will have to be ruthless with yourself: get rid of everything – yes everything – that feels old and outdated.

Today you should feel especially warm and loving toward everyone close to you, Cancer, particularly a love partner. You may want to spend some time with friends or family or schedule a romantic evening with your significant other - or both. If you have paperwork to take care of, this is the day to do it. You're particularly practical and feeling good, so the drudgery won't get you down.

Yes, of course, you have strong opinions about certain subjects and, yes, of course, you are entitled to give voice to them. Just be careful that in your rush to assert the truth as you see it you don’t make powerful enemies. Or do you not care?

You will be put to the test in some way or other between now and the weekend, so stay alert and be ready to move fast both physically and mentally. Don’t back down if a rival is bigger than you – you’ve got what it takes to compete.

If you get the chance to cheer up a friend or relative who has been feeling a bit down of late you must not let it pass. Your input could make the difference between them giving up altogether and being inspired to give it another go.

Anything to do with money should go well for you today. A new moon in the main financial area of your chart indicates that if you make any kind of effort – physical, mental or emotional – the rewards will be considerable.

What happens today will bring a smile to your face and help you believe that happiness and success are yours for the asking. For truly awesome results don’t stick with tried and trusted ways of doing things – do something new and exciting.

You may look calm on the outside but on the inside you are a tempest of doubts and anxieties. Be that as it may you have an image to live up to and must keep your fears to yourself. If others see you panic they will most likely panic too!

If you have something to say now is the time to make yourself heard. Not everyone will appreciate your honesty but that won’t worry you in the slightest – on the contrary, your number one aim is to stir things up a little, or maybe a lot!

Chores that need to be done around the house could be at the top of your priority list today, Sagittarius. A female visitor, perhaps your mother, could come by and making your place look great will preoccupy you. Don't do any more work than you absolutely have to. You won't want to be too tired when she arrives.

What’s right for you may be wrong for someone else and you need to recognize that fact. As an Earth sign you have a tendency to see issues, both big and small, in terms of black and white, but the real world exists mainly in shades of gray.

The more you try to control a situation the more likely it is to move in directions you don’t want it to go, so relax and let life come to you. Also, don’t worry if you have to pay out more than you expected today. Think of it as an investment.

Although the forecast is stormy, the day ahead may give you an opportunity to free yourself from your family, literally or figuratively. Be wary even if the course seems clear to you. You could be in danger of being swayed by a powerful person. The resolutions you make today could have a major impact on your future.

Today you'll question yourself about your private life, Pisces. Indeed, you have to change your behavior. You're used to making decisions just for yourself. Now you'll realize that you need to think not only about yourself but also about your partner. This phase in your relationship is difficult and will lead to drastic measures. You now have to assume your responsibilities.
