Costa Rican Times Horoscope – Jul 5th to Aug 11th


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 Taking ideas from the drawing board into the real world is your challenge this week especially in the career/life path realm. You have abundant mental and physical energy and the key is to direct them productively and not get seduced by being controversial just for controversy’s sake. You may have to travel (spiritually and physically) from where you are to find the path. Grab a compass and begin the quest!!!
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 Bringing about real change in terms of your place in the physical world is your focus this week. From the outset of the week your energies will be focused as much on defining who you want to be as actually working towards that goal. This is not unlike creating a work of art-equal parts inspiration and perspiration. Additionally, resolving a major karmic issue results in an unexpected reward by week’s end.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 This is a good week to return to the task of making your dreams into reality. Friendships can be both supportive and useful. The challenge, though, is not to spend so much time socializing that you get distracted from the bigger picture. Asserting your own views can help make you stand out. Although you may encounter an energy drain near week’s end don’t try and cut corners. Here the longer road is the better path.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 Right at the start, you find yourself feeling a kind of spiritual constipation that is keeping you from letting your feelings show-even to your romantic partner(s). This, in turn, makes you both anxious and impatient. What is called for is acting with caution especially where you don’t have all the facts at hand. Being aware that you are emotionally fragile at this time will help reduce the chance of upsets and arguments.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 Taking foolhardy risks in the realm of love and romance could lead to some unintended consequences this week. In order to move things forward, you will need to change-as hard as that seems. Mid-week finds you feeling discomfort in your relationship. The key is to be emotionally flexible and willing to experiment with new approaches. This can be an exciting time for both of you so make the most of it.
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 The focus is on finances this week. You find yourself being able to take the initiative in a financial venture that could reap immediate results by the end of the week. This is also a good time to make permanent ties that could be beneficial for yourself and others. With this positive energy flowing freely, make sure that you share some romantic and passionate moments with a special someone. You both deserve it.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 Keeping a balance between intuition and external information is important this week, particularly where career matters are involved. Communications will play a big role in decision making mid-week but need to be measured against what you are picking up intuitively. Caution needs to be taken to avoid trying to find shortcuts as there truly aren’t any that will work at this time. Finishing what you start should be your focus now.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 There is a lot of restlessness, particularly where domestic issues are involved, that seems to be coming to the surface this week. What is required is to take an objective (hard as it may be) look the past, let go of that which is no longer necessary, and retain those elements that can provide a foundation for the future. The stress at the beginning of the week will resolve by week’s end so hang in there.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 Looking for that passionate relationship/encounter that you hope will “rock your world” pushes you to take some emotional and, perhaps, physical risks throughout the week. Keep in mind, however, that you can lose as well as win in the game of love. Enjoy joy the “thrill of the chase” but don’t expect more than what the fates provide at this time. And remember, pride does go before a fall.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20 This week the focus is on the practical side of life. With the emphasis on work/school it is important to remember that not everyone around you has (or wants) the same focus to complete the tasks at hand. Mid-week, you may run into some conflicts with associates who feel you are pushing yourself (and them) too hard. This may be a good time for a “kiss-and-makeup” night out to soothe everyone’s nerves.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 Using your intuitive hunches can help you resolve potential conflicts between what you feel is right and what you think is the right course of action. While this seems to apply more in the work/school realm, issues in close personal relationships could also be impacted. Keeping some emotional distance between yourself and others can be beneficial for all concerned as the potential for stress at this time is reduced.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 This is an unsettled week financially and emotionally. Extreme mood swings at the beginning of the week could result in some drastic and unforeseen changes in your relationships and money supply by week’s end. The challenge is to keep from going off the proverbial deep end in attempting to bring about specific (but unrealistic) outcomes. The potential for careless accidents is high so use some discretion in your actions.
