Your daily horoscope: July 29, 2024

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Your huge self-confidence is impressive but over the coming year you must balance it with equally huge doses of common sense. The targets you set yourself will require more than just blind self-belief, so plan ahead and prepare well for the challenges to come.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

Make use of the sun in the sympathetic sign of Leo to push ahead with your plans both in your personal life and in your work. Creatively, too, this is one of the best times of the year to do something special with your talents.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Don’t worry too much if you find it hard to get into the week as recent events have taken their toll physically and you will need time to recover from your exertions. Make things easier for yourself by not trying to meet unrealistic deadlines.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

There is a spring in your step and hope in your heart and if you act as if you cannot lose then you won’t. Yes, it’s as simple as that. Use that big brain of yours to imagine you are already a huge success – and you will be.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You may be inclined to start the week in a rush but the planets warn you should take life at a more sedate pace, at least for now. You will move ahead in leaps and bounds over the next few weeks, but start off with smaller steps.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

This is your time of year and you must make the most of it. Forget about what happened last week or last month and imagine a future of unlimited success. A positive attitude is a must, because it will inspire you to give of your best.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

What occurs during the early part of the week may seem like a stumbling block but if you stand back from your problems and take a more expansive view of what is going on you will see it is all for the good. Think long-term, not short.

Missed one of your horoscopes? Here are the most recent days’ forecasts:

The message of the stars this week is that you must speak up and say your piece and then just leave it. It’s unlikely that everyone will agree with you but if others are too dumb to listen and learn that’s their problem, not yours.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

The ambitious side of your nature will come to the fore over the next few days and that’s a good thing, but don’t be so ambitious that you lose sight of the reasons you push yourself so hard. Success isn’t just for you but for loved ones too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Don’t make the mistake that so many people do of believing that tomorrow will be just a slightly updated version of today. The planets indicate most strongly that tomorrow is going to be radically different, and in a very good way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

There are a number of openings and opportunities available to you now and it is essential that you don’t choose between them too quickly. Despite what others may say you are not on the clock and can take your time to get it right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

What has gone right in your life and what has gone wrong? Make it your priority today to answer that question as honestly as you can – then set about making changes that will make the weeks and months to come even more memorable.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Like it or not you are going to have to do more things for other people than they do for you, but that’s okay. The less of an issue you make of it the more people in positions of authority will be inclined to applaud and reward you.
