Horoscope: Sunday, Jul 12

Speak your mind fearlessly today. Stir things up both at home and at work and don’t worry in the slightest how many people get upset by it. You cannot keep your mouth shut when there are so many injustices going on in the world around you.

Someone will make you the kind of offer you find hard to refuse today, but refuse it you must. Almost certainly their motive is to make you think they are on your side, when in fact their aim is to relieve you of your hard-earned cash.

Today you could be hit with some exciting news, Taurus. This could involve new people or equipment coming onto the scene or an entirely new project or course of action that you'd never have dreamed of. This is likely to be a lucky break for you, as it probably suits your skills and talents nearly perfectly. Make the most of this opportunity. It could make a big difference to you.

While you may not have been feeling quite your usual self over the past day or two, Gemini, today you're likely to be feeling mentally and physically stronger and more focused. You could discuss new ideas for future projects, either personal or business, and formulate plans of action. Your financial future could be on your mind. This is the day to look into ways to ensure it. Enjoy your day.

If someone needs your help you will rush to their assistance with no questions asked. But first make sure that they really do need a helping hand. If you do something for them that they wanted to do for themselves you may not be popular.

This may be a challenging time for you but it is also one of the best times of the year, especially if you are socially and professionally ambitious. Don’t listen to those who say you should not aim too high – the fact is you can’t aim high enough.

You seem to believe, on no evidence at all, that some kind of doom is about to fall on you. On the contrary, your outlook has rarely looked better and if you can’t get your head around that idea now it won’t be long before events prove it.

Someone will praise you to the skies for the efforts you made on their behalf, and it’s nice to be appreciated. On the other hand, the time you spent on them was time you denied yourself, so try being a bit more selfish today. But only a bit.

You may need to get tough over the next few days, especially on the work front where people who have not made anywhere near the same efforts as you will happily take the applause and rewards if you let them. So don’t let them!

You've been a social butterfly lately, Libra! The sociable phase you're currently in demands a great deal of energy. You're attracted to some of your new acquaintances but irritated by others. One in particular causes you real anxiety today. You have two choices. Either abandon your new group of friends entirely, or expel the person who's causing you trouble.

Today might be a good day to take a second shot at something that didn't work out the first time, Scorpio. Falling flat on your face can damage your self-esteem and confidence, but such things are part of life, and they really do add character. By going back into the ring, you ensure that you build courage and perseverance.

You may not be thinking too clearly this week as your mind is overpowered by your emotions, so resist the temptation to say or do things that others might see as provocative. Your finances could suffer if you turn people against you.

A good deed you did for someone in the dim and distant past will come back to you in a delightful way over the next 24 hours. You may have forgotten about it but the universe has not – what goes around always comes round again in the end.

The day's energy is erratic and you're apt to jump all over the place, Capricorn. Don't worry about trying to firm up any plans at this time. You may feel like you're trying to grab a slippery fish with butter on your hands. If this is the case, don't worry about it. Let the fish swim away for now and relax. You can always catch another one later if need be.

You could have a “eureka!” moment today, Aquarius, as events from your past unexpectedly bubble to the surface of your mind and crystallize in a surprising new way. Suddenly, you have a clear understanding of how these past events affect your present behavior. You can use this new knowledge to bring about change. There is clearly a situation at work or at home that is in need of transformation.

Romantic relationships may not exactly be going as well as you'd like, Pisces, but don't get discouraged. Hang in there and you will find that things eventually come around your way. You may need to strengthen your internal sense of confidence, since it's doubtful that you will get much support from interactions with the people around you.
