SUN 12 JULY 09

Good word about you comes from places you don't expect and may not even notice, but it's there nevertheless. Small compliments amass to build your position, and the more gracious you are about it, the more often they will come. What begins nearby spreads afar in time, and your reputation will proceed you.

This is a good time to speak up and clear the air of any grievances you have been holding on to for some time in your personal relationships. By dealing with any issues you've been holding onto and allowing your partner to do the same leaves you the space to move forward and find some new understandings in area's you may have thought were never going to change.

Your partner may have some 'family troubles' today, and you can best help by staying non-judgmental and open-minded. Be a good listener. Don't try to jump right in and solve everything at once. You may raise more resistance than might otherwise be the case.

You don't much feel like going out today. It is a day when you are strongly drawn to prayer, meditation or simple rest, but you may find that erratic energies make this impossible. You'll get a lot of phone calls from friends and companions who are seeking attention or time to gossip.

The more you step outside your current mindset, the better off you will be. This is especially true with matters of the heart. Put your preconceptions aside and open yourself up to new ideas.

Resist the impulse to jump headfirst into a new romantic situation today. You may be getting excited over your prospects, but not everything is as it seems. Try going on a fact-finding mission.

You'll be seized by a strong desire for change in your career; this will be due to the fact that you'll have more difficulty bearing authority and tend to clash with it frontally; try to be patient.

Harmony will reign in couples, and those who recently clashed will patch things up and find a good terrain of understanding; single people will have all chances to make a happy encounter.
