Family outings are favoured between now and the end of July, so start gathering kith and kin. Hosting a big reunion could be in the cards. If you've been having trouble with certain relatives, now is the time to bury the hatchet. In the event that your nearest and dearest don't support you in the ways that you need, you need to stick close to your friends. Loving bonds will help you withstand job pressure.

Shopping trips, parties, and art excursions could crowd your schedule this month. Go ahead and splurge if you've been longing to see a play, concert, or museum exhibit. You may even have to travel out of town to catch a show. It doesn't matter; summer is vacation season. Some people may complain that you're not spending enough time at home, but the fact is, you need a change of scenery to stay fresh and joyful.

Contrary to popular belief, it's important to listen to your material desires. Pampering yourself with enchanting artwork, sumptuous food, and attractive clothing is a way of building your ego. Of course, you don't want to go broke catering to your desires, but you should buy yourself one or two choice items that speak to your heart. If you can't afford something special now, start a special fund, and add to it each day.

Your charm factor will be at an all-time high between now and the end of the month. Therefore, spend the next few weeks courting favour from authority figures.

If you're already in a relationship, let your partner cater to your needs. It's about time you were nurtured for a change!

A secret admirer could reveal their identity to you sometime this month, so prepare for a lovely surprise. Alternately, you could reveal a crush on someone special. Either way, this July promises to be a lovely month filled with private, intimate moments. If you're already in a relationship, plan a secluded vacation for you and your lover. Don't let your colleagues or boss know where you are off to; this is your special time together.

Your social life takes on a special glow this month, so be sure to spend as much time as you can with pals. Renting a holiday home with friends may be an economical way to get away from the boredom of daily life. Consider heading to a cool spot in the hills or by the sea. Natural surroundings act like a tonic on your soul. July might also find you organising a fund raiser.

Exciting career opportunities may cause you to spend more time than usual at work. Forming an important alliance with a female superior could move you closer to certain professional goals. You've been blessed with considerable creative ability, and should apply your gifts to your job. Don't let anyone tell you you can't make money from artistic endeavours. You can do anything you want, provided you are a team player.

You could go on a trip with a social, educational, or spiritual group this month. Although you might have misgivings about going away with people you know on a superficial level, your fears will be unwarranted. The trip in question promises to expand your horizons. Do your best to make the experience positive for your travel companions. Being flexible is crucial when you're far from the comforts of home.

Your sex appeal is highlighted for the whole month of July, so go out and have some fun. If you don't have a lover, you could find one through a dating service. A little detective work should unearth some exciting love prospects. If you're already with somebody, put more emphasis on the physical side of your relationship. Exploring with new lovemaking techniques can be both thrilling and fulfilling. Have fun!

One-on-one relationships assume a special tenderness this month. This is an excellent time to propose marriage, get engaged, or embark on a romance. Teaming up with a pleasant business partner is also favoured. A loving, affectionate soulmate can bring out the best in you. Sometimes you're so determined to succeed that you forget to take care of yourself. Reverse this trend now, while the planets are beaming tenderness toward you.

Improving your health and diet will have fabulous results this month. If you haven't had good luck with nutrition and exercise programs in the past, don't despair.

Being surrounded by pleasing sights, sounds, and scents will improve your productivity dramatically. Approach your superiors for help with your decorating ideas; they will be well received.

The next four weeks should afford plenty of romantic and social opportunities. Going on a fun vacation, starting a new relationship, or expanding your circle of friends are all possibilities. This period is also favourable for conceiving a child, so keep that in mind. At the very least, you'll have a chance to express yourself creatively. Give yourself time to play with art materials like paints, fabric, and clay. Talk about fun in the sun!
