CR Times Horoscope – July 16th to July 22nd


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 Taking responsibility for the results of your actions is a big part of what is going on this week. You may discover that the current career path you are on really isn’t the fit that you thought it would be. Be careful not to just impulsively leave where you are without an exit plan. It is always best to move from a position of internal strength rather than merely reacting to a situation. Keep focus and you can prevail.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 Doubting your own abilities could actually end up to self-deception this week. Not all courses of action are practical and it will be necessary to recognize what you realistically can and cannot do. Accepting a different point of view-particularly in romantic matters-could actually lay a foundation for something more permanent than just a summer fling. Ultimately, the choice rests in your heart, mind and hands.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 Something (or someone) from the past is going to reawaken something within you that you had thought lost or hidden. The intensity of this may be something that you want to pull away from although embracing it could provide rejuvenation and a freedom from some of the self-doubts you have been wrestling with. This new awareness of things could provide those answers you’ve been seeking.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 A flash of intuition early in the week could provide a glimpse into the future-particularly in career or long-term matters. Your ability to communicate your ideas and plans plays an important part of making the concept into reality. The key is to try and keep your emotions in balance (as much as possible) so that you don’t get swept up in a impulsive response to a trivial matter.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 Your personal value system could be tested this week. The question to be answered is whether sacrificing certain standards that you live by in exchange for a large potential financial reward is something you can live with. Although you have felt recently that your options are limited you still have to be able to face the person in the mirror. Look within to find the resolution to this quandary. .
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 You find yourself in a kind of paradox this week. On one hand, you want to break out of the rut you feel you are in-both in terms of personal relationships and in the life path you are on; on the other, you fear what happens if you choose wrongly. Take some time and have a heart-to-heart talk with yourself to integrate these two opposing forces. This communication can help illuminate your way forward.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 This week will find you dealing with a great deal of restlessness-particularly in romantic situations. The challenge is to decide whether you are truly ready to set down roots. The fear of letting down your guard to another person is truly the major hurdle in making that commitment. While there are no absolutes in the realm of spirit, this may well be time to trust the Universe and take that empty-handed leap into the void.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 It is said that timing is everything and this week that could present a real challenge for you. Everything-particularly in matters involving romance-seems a bit “off”. You need to remember that this is a kind of cosmic test that requires you to develop self-control and avoid becoming obsessed with outcomes. The journey is often more important than the destination especially when you are being encouraged to grow.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 You need to take a close look within this week. The insecurities about your current situation (personal and work) need to be faced head on. Once you acknowledge their existence, you may find that these issues aren’t as dire as you thought. That, in turn, can bring about a spiritual release allowing you to truly embrace the positives and actually see the whole forest and not just a single tree.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20This week finds you being cautious about a new relationship that you have recently entered into-most likely on the personal level but, possibly, in the realm of work. The key here is to make certain that any matters involving decision making are shared between the two of you. The Yin (receiving) and Yang (giving) need to be balanced for things to grow into something enduring that you both can commit to.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 Extreme conditions and radical change are the themes this week. Your carefully made romantic plans are going to be altered abruptly in ways that are going to both surprise and confound you. This is not necessarily a bad thing but one which will test your tolerance for being out of control. There is a sense of a kind of internal “housecleaning” that will lead to a whole new approach. Embrace it!!
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 Even though things seem to be going smoothly on many fronts the key this week is not to become complacent or apathetic about the current situation. The Universe gives and the Universe takes away-so be mindful of events around you. This is a good time to expand your world view-spiritually and mentally, if not physically. Late in the week a vision or quest may reveal itself to you that could impact the long term.
