Costa Rican Times Horoscope – July 22nd to 28th


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 Being rigid in your outlook could have a negative impact in the career realm this week. An issue involving authority at the beginning of the week makes you go into defensive mode. Although your tendency is to ramp up and fight, you may want to examine whether the current path you are on is really the one that destiny has planned for you. This may be time for a change and this is how it could begin. Don’t fight it.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 Your focus this week is on resolving some basic material issues of everyday living. In a real senseTaking a practical approach in career matters is important this week. How your present yourself will have a pronounced impact mid-week. The challenge is going to allow some flexibility in the decisions that you make rather than holding onto a fixed vision of how things should be. Delegating authority or sharing power could cause conflicts as you want to retain control. Fairness is important so don’t lose sight of it.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 This focus this week is on the external aspect of life. It is time once again to step out into the world and make use of the knowledge your introspection has revealed to you. Career/financial opportunities are present but will only be revealed in the context of social interactions. By week’s end you will have gained a clearer vision of the future. Be careful of what you wish for as there is always a karmic price that must be paid.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 Problems with finances will make this a difficult week. There is some information or knowledge that you are lacking and, as a result, you could end up with a truly bad decision mid-week. The best thing to do at this time is to hold off on any major expenditures to make certain that you have all the facts. Glossing over reality for immediate gratification is problematic so what until the emotional fog lifts.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 This week is about possessions and their role in your world. What needs to be focused on is your attitude about whether material things alone are measure of what makes you feel secure. Take the time at the beginning of the week to look within and explore this concept. Learning to turn your gift for self-expression into a powerful force can go a long way to achieving both your short and longer term objectives.
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 Romance and finances are all tangled up this week. At the beginning you get what you ask for on both fronts only to discover that it isn’t what you truly want. Communication stumbles complicate matters as well. An off the wall encounter has you acting on impulse. What you are seeing (and feeling) may not be the reality of things. With your judgment being cloudy, best not to make promises you don’t mean.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 It’s all about networking this week. Making connections and sharing ideas in the career realm could lead to some benefits mid-week and open some new doors by week’s end. The key is to remember that how you are perceived can be even more important than the actual content of your message. Your “salesmanship” will certain come in handy as well-just take care not to be so “smooth” that you come across as insincere.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 This week your focus is on home base. Lots of responsibilities seem to be weighing you down emotionally and psychically. Near the end of the week it almost seems like too much to handle. Keep in mind that hard tasks need hard ways in order to thrive. The key is not to compare yourself to others but realize and accept your own self-worth. You have the tools and you have the talent-so believe in your process.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 This is a great week to focus on activities that bring you enjoyment. Remember that “recreation” means, literally, the act of recreating yourself and the best way to do this is to embrace the sheer joy of living. Casual romantic encounters are likely at week’s end but come with some emotional risk. If you can accept that passion may be fleeting (although intense), the “risk” is certainly worth the reward.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20 Issues involving schedules and daily routines are going to confound you this week. Your intensity at work/school may not be appreciated by those around you and could cause friction. A more serious concern, especially late in the week, is carrying this approach into the realm of romance. Trying to emotionally dominate your partner will make a difficult week even worse. Remember no one (including you) is perfect.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 A chance meeting at the beginning of the week affects you in an unusual way. This encounter could be a catalyst in providing answers to a situation that you have been wrestling with recently. The key to moving ahead is to retain emotional independence even as you commit to a course of action. Reaching a meeting of the minds is crucial for progress. Remember the best partners are also friends
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 This is a good week to work on money matters. By following your intuition you can avoid a major pitfall early in these seven days and actually turn the situation into a positive gain. The important thing is not to let worry distort the reality. Don’t be afraid to let go of those things or feelings that you have outgrown. All things must pass. Keep in mind that every new beginning comes from the ending of something past.
