Astro-Graph for July 26, 2013

Some of the grateful recipients of your past favors will find a number of ways to repay you in the year ahead. They will go out of their way to help you achieve your social and material goals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Substantial returns are in the offing from all the effort you’ve expended on something that has yet to yield fruit. That big payoff you’re looking for is just around the corner.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — One of your most valuable assets will be the ability to motivate others to get off their duffs. You will inspire people to get something done. Go ahead and lead, they’ll follow.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Your material aspects continue to look quite encouraging. Follow the same formula that you’ve been using and you should be able to get a profit through both direct and indirect action.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Although a friend of long standing might come to you for help, ironically, you could be the party who’ll derive the greatest benefits from it. Be open-handed in all that you do.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — To get others to be more effective, let them think your good ideas are theirs. By doing so, you’ll be the one who will end up with the greatest success.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Go out of your way to touch base with some old friends. Owing to something new that’s stirring, it’s to your advantage to maintain as many strong relationships as you can.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — You’re still in a very fortunate cycle where benefits can be derived from handling tasks and assignments as effectively as possible. Do the best you can and focus, focus, focus.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — This is an excellent day to enter into serious negotiations, provided each party is as concerned about protecting the rights of others as they are their own privileges.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You have a natural ability to take something that’s old and transform it into something far more useful. You’ll get a chance to use this in both your work and social life today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Something good is likely to happen that should strengthen the bonds between you and your special someone. It’ll be up to you to take full advantage of this excellent opportunity for growth.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — You’re on a productive roll when it comes to wrapping up deals, but it’ll be up to you to take full advantage of favorable circumstances. Put your priorities in order and handle what’s most important first.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) — If at all possible, do not delegate any important assignments to a subordinate. Even if it puts you under some pressure, you’re the one best equipped to handle the matter.
