Aries
All things domestic excite you this month. Have a crack at some home improvements, organise family gatherings - although don't expect everyone to share your enthusiasm. The final quarter segment of the month sees you able to fully engage the creative side of your brain. Cutting yourself off may not bring you the contentment you imagine, however.

Taurus
Mars ramps up your luck and switches on that knack you have for driving a hard bargain. Bright ideas hit you from all angles too, making this the perfect commercial combination. You might want to consider that input from other people may just refine what you've come up with - and maximise moneymaking potential.

Gemini
Your entrepreneurial ability leaves others in the shade. Mars in your sign for most of the month helps you look critically at finances, and how best to make any investments work harder for you in the long-term. You have your ruler Mercury on your side, so your quicksilver mind will soon cultivate some grand designs.

Cancer
July belongs to you. The combined energy of the sun in your sign together with a new moon imbues you with charm and persuasion. Single? Venus also pitches up, to ensure that you're radiating magnetism and turning a few heads. But don't let it go to yours. Add a hefty dollop of good old- fashioned Cancerian humility to the mix for maximum potential.

Leo
The cosmos is paving the way for you to take stock of how you earn your crust. It may very well hinge on your own perception of what you think you deserve. The sun is your ruling planet, and it arrives back in your sign in the third week of the month, helping you obliterate any lingering self-doubt.

Virgo
A month of reckoning at work, as Mars at the top of your chart gives you an adrenalin shot. Venus, meanwhile, gifts you with a magnetism that appeals to all-comers, and the sun is shining in your friendship zone. So all in all you may encounter an above average number of invites coming at you from all angles.

Libra
There has been little let-up for you recently with strict Saturn resident in your sign. This is the month, however, when you will begin to see the results of all that hard work. Although there may well be some more tiny obstacles still to clear away. At the end of the month, the sun lights a fire underneath your ambition.

Scorpio
Even loved ones don't stand much of a chance of making even a small dent in your thinking once you've made up your mind. This month is a different story, as something you're told could prompt you to shift your stance. Will you adopt a belief or solution to a problem that's really quite uncharacteristic - and radical?

Sagittarius
Boredom brings on your notorious restlessness. If any such sense creeps up on you this month, all you'll have to do is look a little harder to discover a new challenge or two. Tune in to the positive cosmic energy by using that canny Sagittarian intuition - and be prepared to satisfy your wanderlust once the sun hits Leo.

Capricorn
Someone may persuade you to reconsider your point of view. This is a good thing. With good humoured Jupiter in Taurus and the sun in your partnership zone, there will be an unmistakable sense of fun in your closest relationships as the month progresses. There could even be a sense of abandon to you!

Aquarius
July's an ideal month to revisit financial planning and apply some reworking if necessary. But please trust in your own thinking and don't go asking all and sundry for advice. The final week of the month increases your already powerful personal magnetism, and your good natured banter will be in severe demand.

Pisces
The new moon in Cancer will enhance your creativity, no question, and its development holds the key to the riches this month holds. Your ruler Neptune is making its powerful energy felt in your sign on top of all this. This planet excites your sense of spirituality and ensures that your wisdom will be sought out by many in your circle.

Aries

There's a sense of abandon about you this month. Jupiter and Mars amplify prospects ay work, and you'll get first crack of the whip when it comes to a promotion or uplift of some sort. Close relationships may be tested, but don't resort to drastic measures.

Taurus

With the sun in your sign you can look forward to a positive birthday revelation or two. You will also be itching to spring clean your life, which may require the jettisoning of dead wood. Your words carry power and others are more susceptible to your bidding.

Gemini

Is a relationship beginning to peter out? Are you sure? Perhaps all that is needed is a break from the humdrum in order that you reconnect again. The sun in your sign later on in May makes you sassy, sophisticated and even chattier than normal. Is that possible?

Cancer

Fortune smiles on you this month and I'm sure you will use this to your advantage. The sun in Taurus illuminates your hopes, dreams and aspirations, and by the time it moves into Gemini, you will want to start making things happen

Leo

The sun is at the top of your chart, placing you on show this month. Your natural habitat. Tempted to do something radical? Why not trial that new look you have been toying with. If fellow Leo Madonna can carry off reinvention, then so can you!

Virgo

Love planet Venus in Taurus opens many doors for you, and money luck will flourish, as long as you keep a level head. Once the sun moves into Gemini, it provides you with your chance for recognition and you will shine and, moreover, reap your just rewards.

Libra

Home and family issues loom into view, and you may be tempted to shy away from the glare of the outside world. Once the sun hits Gemini, however, you see the world from a new standpoint as you return to your charming, sociable self.

Scorpio

Don't run yourself ragged being a people pleaser. Find a balance. Work and health matters are of high importance, and as the sun is in your partnership house, with Venus and Mars, you can get ready for passion. This is the month to get projects off the ground.

Sagittarius

Love may be more volatile than usual, and the sun in your work zone means that there could be some movement on the job front. Pluto's connection to your monetary area stimulates the need to make long lasting commitments. Emotions may come into play, however much you try to play dodge.

Capricorn

It's nothing short of a hive of activity this month. The sun gives you some answers, although this may require a leap of faith from you, but with the combined force of Mars and Venus in the equation, you won't be short on passion.

Aquarius

It's a month to knock plans you've been mulling over for a while into shape. Things just seem to fall into place for you. The sun in Gemini brings fun times, and also encourages you to be a little more emotionally revealing.

Pisces

You're on the ball with finances, and luck has a part to play here. In fact you feel that you really have the world at your feet. But try not to get too wrapped up in yourself, or carried away, as loved ones could be feeling a little out in the cold.
