CR Times Horoscope – July 30th to Aug 5th


	ARIES March 21 – April 20 Mood swings and emotional tension could make this a really challenging week. Allowing your temper to get the better of you-particularly in romantic situations could cause things to unravel very quickly. This might be a good time to plan a trip to get away from things allowing you to take a fresh look at the situation, your role in it and, most importantly, how the impasse can be resolved.
	TAURUS April 21 – May 21 This week is about recognizing and accepting limitations-particularly with regards to career matters. Rather than attempting to force a losing position, use the time to determine what skills or tools you need in order to move in a different direction. Trying too hard can be just as limiting as not trying at all. Rather, strive to keep your impatience in check and allow the flow of the future to carry you along.
	GEMINI May 22 – June 21 With your social calendar being quite full this week, remember to keep in mind that some of that energy also needs to go to more serious matters such as career or school. There is an opportunity for advancement that may be disguised as something more casual and it will require you to keep your eyes and mind open in order to maximize the potential within. Your judgment is sound so use it to your benefit.
	CANCER June 22 – July 23 Communication issues abound this week. Reading between the lines is great as long as you don’t ignore the lines themselves. Take care not to get so caught up pin planning the future that you miss out on the potential of the present. Be honest with what you can and cannot do-both to others and yourself. Remember life is what happens while we’re making other plans.
	LEO July 24 – August 23 This week is about focusing on those details and chores of the daily grind that you’d like to ignore (and have been for a while now). Even though none of these tasks is particularly exciting, it is necessary that you complete them so that they don’t become a true hindrance in the long term. You understand the big picture but if you allow your ego and pride to get in the way, the path could be more difficult than necessary. .
	VIRGO August 24 – September 23 Balancing material worth with self-worth is the task facing you this week. There is a challenge to avoid measuring your value solely in terms of how much you make or how many “goodies” you own. Remember that the person who knows the value of everything ultimately fails to appreciate the worth of anything. Seek that which truly resonates with your emotions and you will discover a true “treasure”.
	LIBRA September 24 – October 23 Your words could have more effect that you might imagine this week-both positively and negatively- so take a moment to consider what you want to communicate instead of “shooting from the lip”. Your ability to “sell” yourself could lead to the start of a budding romance near the end of the week. Cooperation and compromise on a project will also bear fruit during the next seven days.
	SCORPIO October 24 – November 22 The homefront is going to be the focus of your energies this week. The sense of restlessness that you’ve been feeling needs to be faced. Security, particularly in terms of close relationships may feel threatened in some fashion. Allow yourself to be nurtured (even though you are the one who usually does the nurturing). It is not a sign of weakness but, rather, an acknowledgement of the bonds of family.
	SAGITTARIUS November 23 – December 22 Romantic turmoil is going to make this an emotionally challenging week. Your emotions feel out of control and those inner doubts that you usually keep down are bubbling to the surface. Misjudging the motivations of your partner and being misunderstood in return could be a real test of the strength of the commitment between the two of you. If you can rebalance ego and emotion, the storm will pass.
	CAPRICORN December 23 – January 20Health issues could make this a difficult week. You have been pushing yourself hard recently and, as a result, have failed to count the cost of this on both your physical and mental well-being; truly, this is a case of the ends not really justifying the means. By taking a step back and looking at the “big picture”, you can gain a more realistic perspective on the path you should follow going forward.
	AQUARIUS January 21 – February 19 Seeing people and things the way they truly are (rather than how you want them to be) can go a long way to making this week a happier time for you-especially in the realm of relationships. Wishing doesn’t make it so and trying to balance independence with commitment is not going to be easy. Yet, if both of you can keep things real and communicate, a mutual accord can be reached.
	PISCES February 20 – March 20 This week may find you discovering an ability or talent you were not even aware of-quite possibly an intuitive gift. Mid-week may find you in a situation where passion and compassion both require you to meet some external obligation in order to fulfill a desire. There is also an issue involving a type of “inheritance”-not so much in a material sense, but rather, spiritual. Lift the veil and look within-the answer is there.
