Horoscope: Monday, Jul 13

The people you have to deal with today, both at home and at work, will be rather demanding and there may be times when you come close to losing your temper. Maybe you should. Maybe that’s what is needed to make them see sense.

Most people will look kindly on you today and you are advised to make the most of it. Even when you are out of order you will most likely be forgiven, thanks to the influence of Jupiter in your chart. That’s not an invitation to go mad though!

You will be in a fun-loving mood today and will simply ignore people who try to make you feel depressed. Yes, your money situation could be better but when all is said and done it’s only bits of colored paper. Love and laughter cost nothing.

Group activities will assume greater importance this weekend and it is quite likely that you will link up with people who reflect your outlook on life. Together you can accomplish things that might not have been possible to do on your own.

If you sense that someone is not being entirely honest with you then you must pursue the matter and find out what is really going on. If you ignore the issue and hope it goes away you could leave yourself open to further betrayal.

You won’t have to try too hard to get what you need today – with Venus, planet of harmony, moving into your sign others will go out of their way to assist you at home and at work. Do you take advantage of the situation? Of course you do!

Some unexpected but very welcome visitors could arrive today, Cancer. They might bring some people you don't know but should connect with right away. Expect interesting news, fascinating information, and a lot of laughs. Even though you don't know for sure that these people are coming, have a supply of drinks and snacks on hand. You'll want them to settle in and stay a while.

Don’t waste your time and energy trying to blame other people for what has gone wrong in your life. No matter what excuses you make, and no matter how valid they may be, in the end it always comes back to what you choose to do. So choose.

Don’t be too hard on yourself if the gap between your dreams and reality is wider than you would like it to be. There is still time to get your act together and if you join with people who share your vision this weekend the gap will narrow quickly.

You have plenty of plans and you honestly believe they will work out in your favor but don’t start counting your chickens before they are hatched. You should know by now that few things in life go by the numbers, not even for those who can count.

Bizarre, unexpected developments might turn your life upside down today, Libra. Money could be involved. New people could arrive who open doors that eventually lead to a new life. You could even fall in love at first sight. It isn't easy to make predictions for a strange day like this. Rest assured that when you go to bed you won't be the same person you were when you woke up.

Today could be filled with unexpected twists, turns, and bends in the road that you may not be prepared for, Scorpio. Apparently someone forgot to install the sign that warns of sharp curves ahead. Be on the lookout for unexpected forks in the road. When you get to them, take them, to coin a phrase. Your brain could receive a jolt from an outside source that reminds you to keep things real.

As values planet Venus moves into the wealth area of your chart today you would be wise to turn your attention to your financial situation and whether or not it is living up to your expectations. If it isn’t then maybe you should start making changes.

You may feel as if you are under divine protection, and maybe you are, but that is not an invitation to act recklessly. That voice inside your head encouraging you to take chances is more likely to be your inner devil than your inner angel.

Sometimes the utterly stupid things that some people say make you want to scream. By all means do so if it makes you feel better but don’t expect them to change their ways. The sad fact is they are so dim that they won’t ever learn.

It might be smart to stay out of the limelight today, not because you have something to hide but because you have lots to think about and bright lights and loud people won’t help with your contemplation. For best results, stay in the shadows.

You know you are special but the overly modest side of your nature is keeping you from making a big deal of it. You don’t have to shout about who you are and what you can do – just do it and let your fans make a noise for you.
