Costa Rican Times Horoscope – July 15th to 21st


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 This week is marked by your determination and ambition on all fronts. You want what you want and you want it now. At the same time, impatience can cause unnecessary conflicts around the middle of the week. Trying to force things-either in love or work matters could lead to rejection and failure. Maintaining an awareness of others’ feelings is crucial in turning conflict into cooperation.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 Your focus this week is on resolving some basic material issues of everyday living. In a real sense this involves getting your “house” in order-both financially and emotionally. Friends can be helpful late in the week but, ultimately, the responsibility for achieving the goals you’ve set forth belong to you. Understanding when to associate and when to stand apart even from those of like mind can provide the clarity you seek.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 Looking beyond the superficial-particularly in matters of the heart- is important this week. There is more going on than you might imagine. Your energy level seems to change from day to day making interactions difficult. With this in mind, know that snap decisions may not bring the results you seek. Yet as unbalanced as it may feel what is happening now is timely in your process and supported by your karmic path.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 Wants clash with needs in the realm of love and romance this week. So much emotional energy is being expended now that you might overlook some basic matters between you and your partner/lover that should be addressed. Mood swings near the end of the week could have some unpredictable results. Learning to control and guide your emotions can give you a powerful tool to mending any fractures in the relationship.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 This is an important week to take stock of exactly what contributes to you self-esteem. Look beyond the purely material elements (i.e. money, possessions etc.) and examine the spiritual and emotional aspects of your world. The beginning of the week could provide a kind of “wake-up” call as to the areas that you should be directing your energies to. The capability is there so don’t hold yourself back from using it fully.
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 Runaway emotions are going to make this a difficult week for you. Focusing on trivial things could turn them into something much larger and more difficult to deal with. Relationships will be strained mid-week and require you to make a conscious effort to keep your cool. Listen more and speak less. There are lessons from the past that can illuminate the future. Belief in yourself leads to others believing in you as well.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 A disconnect between your emotions and your logic could make this a challenging week. Right at the outset, you find yourself caught in a tug-of-war between external responsibilities (school, work) and internal needs (family, romance). Rather than giving into the tension, take a step back and allow yourself to rebalance the scales. Accepting yourself first will make dealing with the external chaos much easier long term.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 A secret romantic affair or financial matter could go off the rails mid-week as a result of your intense emotional responses. While the risks are certainly worth taking, you also have to be prepared for the possibility that things may not turn out as you plan. Remember that there are things (and people) that you can’t change and trying to do so could only make things worse. Is this a need or want? That is truly the question.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 There is a lot of mental tension brought on by boredom with routine this week that leaves you feeling impatient and stressed. Rather than over-indulging as a way to forget, use this time to examine whether you truly still believe in the path you are on. This may require some quiet time-perhaps in a natural setting. You may discover that you have more answers than you thought. Use the knowledge wisely.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20 There is a strong potential for conflict this week-particularly where work/career is involved. An issue of responsibility for a project or assignment puts you at odds with someone close to you. How you resolve this matter could have a long-term impact as your actions and reactions are being noticed. Things will clarify by week’s end. Try not to take this into your personal life as it will only add stress there as well.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 Dramatic events in the realm of romance are on tap this week. From the outset, you find yourself almost obsessing about an intimate relationship-either one you are in or one that you desire. Use your intuition and be receptive to the conscious and unconscious “clues” you are receiving. As hard as it might seem, you have to accept reality for what it is rather than what you want it to be. Don’t be afraid to share feelings.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 A sudden flash of inspiration or insight could lead you to making some surprising decisions this week. A change in career or focus may not be understood or received well by those close to you. Mid-week you will need to concentrate on getting tasks that you have committed to competed. Communications may be affected so be prepared to go forward on faith. The status quo is changing-go with the tide.
