CR Times Horoscope – July 23rd to July 29th


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 This week focuses on creative visualization of the path you want to follow. Even with the trials of recent weeks, you can see the journey you want to take even if it means “coloring outside of the lines”. After all, if you dream it, you can be it. Keep in mind, however, than when tilting at windmills, the windmills occasionally win. Remember to slow down and enjoy the adventure and don’t throw caution to the winds.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 The focus is on career matters this week. Remember that how you present your ideas is as important as the content of those ideas. Don’t be afraid to take the lead on a project since showing how responsible you are can lead to greater opportunities down the road. In a real sense the curtain is going up on this act of your life, seek the spotlight, say your lines and await the reward of karma fulfilled.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 Personal connections-both romantic and career based-are going to prove very beneficial to you this week. The shared emotions and energy generated will go a long way to making a long-held dream come true. If there is a group function late in the week, be certain to attend it as an opportunity may arise that you hadn’t considered but which could provide just the spiritual “boost” you need at this time.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 Expressing your feelings-particularly those involving deeply personal matters is going to be difficult this week. In a real sense, you are reluctant to face those emotions and, by keeping them hidden, only compound your misery. In denying yourself the expression of those feelings, you are actually becoming the agent of your own self-undoing. Connect to your inner spirit and allow your healing to begin.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 This week focuses on the fact that your word is your bond and what you say is truly what you mean. There is a large amount of intuitive knowledge that you can access during the next seven days which can help you take ideas from the abstract to reality. This is not only in the area of work but also in personal relationships as well. Having learned from the past, you are now ready to take on the future. .
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 Financial matters are in a state of flux this week. Care must be taken to avoid scrimping on necessities only to splurge on some extravagant item that you really don’t need. An unexpected obligation or debt late in the week could leave you feeling a bit stressed. Keep in mind, however, that this is only a temporary situation that can be weathered by maintaining a calm approach and not jumping to extremes.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 This week the only opponent that stands in the way of your dreams is yourself. Your concerns about how you communicate-both verbally and non-verbally can actually become a self-fulfilling prophecy unless you can keep them in check. By keeping the spirit of compromise and cooperation in the forefront, you will find that the reception of your ideas is better than you imagined. Family member can also provide moral support.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 Dealing with a longstanding issue from your past-perhaps involving a family member-is going to be the major focus for you this week. By taking a fresh look at how you arrived at this point-spiritually speaking-you may discover that in order to move ahead you have to be willing to cast off something that you viewed as your “birthright” and see the world with fresh eyes. The future awaits so don’t delay.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 This week finds the fates favoring you in all kinds of speculation-work, finance and, yes, love. There is a spark of creativity that you can tap into mid-week. Make certain that you allow some time for social activities; there may be more there then meets the eye. The chance for a passionate interlude, if only fleeting, could round out this productive time. Will to do thy will.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20Frustration with your 9-5 reality could make this a really challenging week. Trying to force your opinion at this time is like the old adage about the square peg and round hole. Rather than creating more stress and conflict, try to find a way to use that dynamic energy to changing your direction. Sometimes a few eggs need to be broken in order to make an omelet; metaphysically speaking that is.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 Your challenge this week is to balance the constant need for independence with the emotional desire for a romantic commitment. Keep in mind that you many need to compromise-not an easy thing- between your wants and desires and those of your partner. That interaction could be a catalyst for something unique and unforeseen towards the weekend. Pay attention and look for signs-they are there.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 This is a good week to do an internal inventory to see if you are spread too thin emotionally, spiritually and mentally. Tapping into your intuitive side can help sort things out. There is a sense that a change is on the horizon so getting rid of those items and feelings which have outlived their usefulness is important. Allow an intense physical interlude early in the week to remind you of the restorative potential of love.
