Free Daily Horoscope - July 18 2016
Aries (3/21 to 4/19)
● Work: You're feeling introverted. That's usually a good way to feel on a day like this one, but today you're just not comfortable with it. You may find yourself lonely in a crowd or wishing for purposeful work.
● Finances: Being too frank would just be hurtful. Unless fortunes are to be made or lost depending on your wording, then being vague is what the situation calls for. You can clear up any misunderstandings in a couple of weeks' time.
● Love: No. Life isn't a road race, but if you had to qualify, you'd be in the top 10. When it comes to achieving those short-term goals, you're moving at warp speed. Pay a little more attention, however, to the personal touches. Don't neglect those who never neglect you.
Taurus (4/20 to 5/20)
● Work: Time on your hands has you dwelling on the negative. Feeling moody or possessive is no fun. Staying busy with friends is the best medicine, so pick up the phone and make some plans.
● Finances: Your subconscious is sending up more signals than you can possibly read. Don't kid yourself that you can pick a winner while you're in this state of mind. You can't tell the real thing from a fake and everything that glitters in the sun is enticing. Resist.
● Love: In the crazy world of dating, learning what works and what doesn't is about trial and error. Take a few minutes to reflect on your successes and failures. It's a great time to incorporate some of these hard-fought lessons into the current configuration of events.
Gemini (5/21 to 6/21)
● Work: If you're tempted to go in to work, think better of it. You need time off, for the sake of your health if for no other reason. Pursue something slower than your usual work pace.
● Finances: How an important financial drama plays itself out is up to you. You're both author and director, and you can play a starring role if you so wish. Stepping aside to let someone else do the job would be a fatal mistake for your finances. Break a leg.
● Love: Whatever 'it' is, you get it. You're the golden child -- it's as if the planets aligned perfectly, just for you. Put one foot in front of the other and move forward -- this zesty energy will carry you forward without consequence. And keep a few extra business cards handy -- you'll need 'em.
Cancer (6/22 to 7/22)
● Work: The last thing you need is upheaval. You can get plenty of that during the workweek. Make sure your day runs smoothly and avoid business or legal matters.
● Finances: Social situations can get in the way of work and that is to be expected. Your bank account won't suffer because of it, so don't let yourself get too anxious. It's not just your private problems. All of your coworkers are dealing with the same issue.
● Love: Life's gonna slow it down for you right now. So pick your partner, move a little closer and hold on, tight. During times like these, it's great to have someone you can cling to, swaying to the music. A little nuzzling won't hurt either.
Leo (7/23 to 8/22)
● Work: Work can wait. Spend the day nurturing your family and friendships. If you must think of work, only acknowledge that a happy home life will help you be more productive during the week.
● Finances: You are all fired up and ready for some travel. Unfortunately, you aren't going anywhere anytime soon. You can use your excitement to change the scenery right in front of you, though, as long as you stick to your budget.
● Love: Routine is like an ugly four-letter word in your dictionary. A little regimentation is actually quite liberating -- it takes the guesswork out of daily life, giving you more time to roam the depths of your mind (and to update your online profile).
Virgo (8/23 to 9/22)
● Work: Feeling restless is a good sign. Store up all that energy so you can put it to good use come Monday morning. In the meantime, make the most of being away from work.
● Finances: You need a yes-man, because you feel like saying no to everything. You want to throw in the towel and forget about it almost as soon as you begin. Force yourself to follow through instead. You'll be happy you did.
● Love: You'd nurse a pimple than deal with your finances right now, so you might as well buck up and crack open that checkbook. Take some time today to balance the numbers. And assess your other bills. Maybe you're paying too much for insurance or a gym membership you no longer use.
Libra (9/23 to 10/23)
● Work: If the work week is about making money, then the weekends are about spending it. Or they used to be, anyway. Adjusting to your new budget is harder than it sounds. Give yourself time to adjust to the changes.
● Finances: You need to balance your account and fast. Your current projects aren't going to do the trick. It's the wrong time of year to drum up anything new, but desperate situations call for desperate measures.
● Love: Your health should be your number one priority. If you haven't been to the dentist in a decade, schedule an appointment today. Or get a physical. Make sure your cholesterol, blood pressure and vital signs are in check. Vitality is the key to a passionate life (in more ways than one).
Scorpio (10/24 to 11/21)
● Work: Today offers the possibility of regeneration, if not rebirth. It doesn't happen each day, though it would be nice if it would. You'll find yourself ready to face a brand new life come tomorrow morning.
● Finances: You're being hit up by the modern day equivalent of the traveling salesman. You know what you're dealing with right away but that won't immunize you against their sales pitch. Remember the old adage: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
● Love: A purpose? You? Definitely. You're on a mission from the stars, and one way or another, you'll conquer your goal. Just don't miss a step along the way. A forgotten detail or a misunderstood text could put you in the doghouse with someone who matters to you.
Sagittarius (11/22 to 12/21)
● Work: After being around colleagues all week, it makes sense that on your days off you want to be alone. If you find yourself surrounded by people anyway, then make the most of things by enjoying it.
● Finances: You're not at the point of sitting back and observing your domain just yet. You're still building the very basics of your kingdom. But even they can be put aside when friendship and goodwill make an appearance. Your kingdom can wait.
● Love: Quality is so hard to come by these days. And all those singles events are so blah. Instead of waiting for the hotties to come your way, why not serve as the beacon of singledom in your community? Host an event, just for the unattached. This is your baby!
Capricorn (12/22 to 01/19)
● Work: Put your restless office skills to good use. Organizing friends is a perfectly legitimate objective. Without your efforts, they would simply be at loose ends anyway.
● Finances: The more discipline you can muster, the more money you'll make. Even the most unlikely of goals can be met with it as your only tool. Stay on course and all things are possible.
● Love: The estheticism of your surroundings matters to you. When the visuals click, you feel content. Add something new to your collection. Invite your latest love interest on a shopping spree. And don't plan anything for later on. Dinner, maybe more, could follow.
Aquarius (1/20 to 2/18)
● Work: Privacy with friends included is the prefect emotional state. Indulge in just this today as you rejuvenate yourself and prepare for your workweek, where you always feel in front of an audience.
● Finances: Your network is growing. You get new members each and every day. That isn't translating into money yet, but it will soon. Until then, keep nurturing new connections.
● Love: You expected a riot, but alas: nothing, not a peep. And that's just how the day goes. So don't anticipate anything. Instead, allow people to do their own thing. Expect a call or email from the most random person. It's so out of left field you're intrigued beyond words.
Pisces (2/19 to 3/20)
● Work: Not everything with your friends is all warm and fuzzy. You have to deal with legal documents today, even in your private life. You have the social skills to handle it with ease.
● Finances: A blabber mouth might give you some shocking news. You can stand there stunned or you can make good use of it. What starts out on a sour note brings with it the chance to redeem both the event and yourself -- if you play your cards right.
● Love: Where others see roadblocks, you find inspiration. That's your ambition kicking into full gear today. The eyes that met yours with a blank stare just last week suddenly light up. And instead of being baffled, you know just what to do -- a dinner and a movie.
