Show yourself to be more mature and stop counting constantly on others. A transient but intense feeling of frustration may make you spend a day of discontentedness. Beware of hasty decisions, ill-thought projects and spreading yourself too thin! If your children cause you trouble, don't scold them this time.WOOD RAT

Wood rats don't care about firecrackers and whiz-bam-boom special effects. Still waters run very deep! Somewhat introverted and shy in social gatherings, Wood Rats nevertheless make a big impact when it comes to career, finance, and entrepreneurial projects. A big ego keeps this one focused on the big picture, talking only when necessary to make the next move. The enterprising Wood Rat knows and lives the rules in human dynamics: compromise, flexibility, "playing it by ear," the Golden Rule, and generosity. In the Love Boat, don't expect the Wood Rat to whisper a lot of sweet nothings; again, still waters run deep. They don't need words, they ACT their love, showering affection, kindness, and respect on their loved ones, who love them in return.

Living as a couple, you'll have the desire to decide jointly with your spouse to review your common way of living -- your residence place, your life tempo, your use of spare time, your centers of interest. If you're single, you may fall madly in love with a person who's not free but whose charm seems irresistible to you. Be careful: Do not sign anything offhandedly, read over again twice rather than once all documents that may commit you in one way or another. -
11 Jul 06
You'll pay attention to your dreams and may give more importance to them than to harsh daily reality. Avoid conflicts of all kinds in order to preserve harmony in your family. In love, couples at odds until now will become reconciled, and even the clumsiest natives of this sign will find the words that touch or the compromises that save. The astral climate will bring good understanding with your children. -

12 Jul 06
Be on your guard against a possible swindle: don't sign anything, and above all don't pay before mature reflection. Love affairs for singles will be a little complicated, sentimental encounters will be numerous but of little avail, married people will be happy with their conjugal lives. You'll bitterly regret having done this or not having done that; well, know that to err is human. As St. Augustine said, you'd better be indulgent with yourself. -
13 Jul 06
You'll be more tenacious, more enduring than ever; however, unexpected problems may delay certain of your important professional projects. The Moon will hone your intuition in a very particular way; it's not impossible that you'll discover the talents of a medium within yourself. This astral ambiance will be very favorable to intellectual activities as well as to encounters of every kind. You can highlight your vivaciousness of mind and your sense of contacts. -
14 Jul 06
For once, you can grant yourself a small folly. This solar climate will heighten your willpower and sharpen your decisions by reinforcing your determination; it will allow you to fight with courage, to react promptly, to control your moods, and to keep your cool. However, your emotional life may be complex and unstable; you'll be fickle, realizing with pleasure that your charm is very useful. In financial matters, the moment will seem opportune to make a rigorous order reign. -
15 Jul 06
Your heart will be agreeably stimulated and will undoubtedly make you believe in great passion and great love; preserve certain of your illusions for your own good, but don't lose touch with reality. You'll know what you have to do, so don't change your line of behavior. You'll enjoy an exceptional factor of chance that will allow you to ease all crisis situations. Your material life will improve thanks to the money coming from an unexpected source. You won't have to worry about your children, be they very young or adolescent. -
16 Jul 06
You'll suddenly feel anguished about your love affairs; if you succeed in controlling your emotions, you'll realize that things can straighten themselves out. Keep a watch on the associations of your children, especially if they're adolescents, for they may be tempted by tobacco or alcohol. Living as a couple, you'll enjoy the intimacy with your spouse. If you're single, flirtation can offer you pleasurable moments but not prospects of a marriage. Take better care of your health by forcing yourself to do exercise every day.
17 Jul 06
You'll have the impression that those around you are constantly spying on you or talking ill of you behind your back; but if you examine the situation more closely, you'll realize that your impression is totally false. Accept to have confidence in those who deserve it and don't wear yourself out criticizing others. Do today whatever you can instead of postponing it until tomorrow. Your love affairs will be favored; however, you should be careful so as not to believe too readily all the promises that will be made to you. -
18 Jul 06
If your heart is free, a rather charming person will enter your life today. You'll succeed in having several things on the go at once -- work, family life, hobbies. The family ambiance will be very merry. It's never too late to do well; dare to question yourself, as this will be beneficial. Don't accept any proposal without having examined it thoroughly. Refrain from all excesses: Virtue stays in the middle, says a Latin proverb. -
19 Jul 06
The stars will incline you to be less conciliatory and kind than usual; if you don't react against this trend, you may create an uncomfortable situation for yourself. At your work, you'll find new solutions to your recurrent problems; also, beware of the jealousy of some of your colleagues. Your relationship with your spouse may become tense if you don't reach an agreement on the use of money; try to be understanding. If your children disappoint you, ask yourself honestly if you're not partly responsible for the situation.
20 Jul 06
The present lunar climate will make you evolve in an euphoric ambiance that is not easily explainable. Give your physical form a boost; no need to absorb vitamins in tablets: rather, eat a balanced diet. Try to prepare a good withdrawal strategy for yourself all the while cultivating the object of your love with fervor and devotion. Even though a romantic adventure presents itself well, don't count your chickens before they are hatched; a reversal of the situation is to be expected, for this astral configuration will be rather capricious. -
21 Jul 06
With this astral environment, you may have to cope with dermatological problems; drink much mineral water, eat carrots. In your career, you could make a serious leap forward; do your job with relentlessness and determination. You may find yourself confronted with a serious family problem; but the understanding from the part of your spouse or children will help you solve it. Resist your desire to lavish your advice if people don't ask for it. -
22 Jul 06
If offense is the best defense, as the Chinese strategist Tzun-Tzu said, you'd better make efforts to acquire new goods instead of settling down to the defense of your acquired advantages. The current positive astral aspects will favor good relationships with foreigners or useful foreign travels. You may have the desire to resume studies; don't hesitate to give in to this. If your heart is free, you'll probably meet your soul mate this time; at the beginning, this could only be an adventure of physical attraction, but sentimental links will be formed very quickly. -
23 Jul 06
Very happy hazards will help you make up effortlessly for serious delays. You'll have tremendous energy, and your problem will be to succeed in channeling it well so that it doesn't transform itself into devastating aggressiveness; indulge in action. Efficient, realistic, active, you'll obtain excellent results in your job. Your material situation will also be on the way to an improvement. But with the persons whom you love, try not to lack tenderness and even attentiveness. -
24 Jul 06
Don't try to achieve titanic projects, those that manifestly exceed your forces; indeed, your exaggerated ambition may prevent you from seeing reality with all necessary objectivity, and then your judgments may be altered. Your relationships with your children may be somewhat tense; you should be less strict so as to ease off the atmosphere and straighten things out between you. Love will this time smile to those who are swift, who don't bother to hesitate. You must try to match your acts with your ideas. -
25 Jul 06
The stars will increase your efficiency at your work and give a better sense of realities. If you have to settle a financial problem, it'd preferable to do it immediately. You'll be quite willing to take professional and sentimental risks, and this will greatly excite you; your tactics are not necessarily bad, but think of protecting yourself, for one cannot be absolutely sure of anything. Many natives of the sign will be able to make a new start in their affective life. -
26 Jul 06
With this astral environment, there might be risks of intoxication; do not abuse drugs, and only take what has been prescribed by your doctor. Good chances to get minor dermatological ills cured. Try to make reason bear on the heart; do not mix love and pity. You'll do very well in your career; you may even succeed in a new job. The current astral climate will grant you a harmonious family life.
27 Jul 06
On the professional plane, the astral influxes will be very favorable to you; you'll take good initiatives. The natives of this sign who suffer from high or low blood pressure will note an improvement of their state. Avoid too mundane gatherings. Heartwise, some annoyances may throw you into disarray; you'll ask yourself if your mate would one day come to understand you; at certain moments, you'll feel very lonely, but, don't dramatize the situation, which is far from being bad. -
28 Jul 06
You'll probably make the acquaintance of a person who inspires in you very profound sentiments that are more platonic than physical; or you may be attracted by someone who cannot respond to your desires because they're already engaged elsewhere. Try to refrain from questionable projects. In love, look for changes if you'd like, but only changes in continuity. Even though you may be confronted with crushing family concerns, you'll react in a positive manner and will succeed in making the right decisions concerning your home life. -
29 Jul 06
Traps will be numerous in your professional life; be vigilant. The support of your friends will prove very precious; you can count on their help. You'll even confide yourself easily in them; think to do them pleasure. On the financial front, don't embark on speculative maneuvers with the idea of winning much, very quickly, and without efforts; the results would be catastrophic. Remain coolheaded and show patience: your hour will come. Excellent love and family relationships. -
30 Jul 06
Your friendships will give you full satisfaction, and you'll have only to take care of them. Your relationships will be very lively, enjoyable, with a couple of projects that you'll carry out together. Nevertheless, try to preserve your individual freedom -- this is very necessary to you. The planetary influences will lead you to daring and even rash actions. You'll tend to ignore the counsels or show skepticism about the warnings others may give you, and you'll rush headlong to possible problems. Try to control your impulsiveness. -
31 Jul 06
Be vigilant on the professional plane, for you may have tough adversaries or ill-willed colleagues. If you can refrain from mingling with the affairs of others, you'll be much better off. You might encounter multiple problems in relation with real estate. Discuss with your spouse, tackle all subjects with them, even if you find it difficult to keep your cool; this will prove a sure way to improve and strengthen your mutual relationships. -
1 Aug 06
Don't commit follies in food matters. In order not to lose your effectiveness, concentrate on a single objective and don't try to do too many things at once. If you must embark on an important project or make decisive moves, this will be the opportune moment. Thrilling encounters with people who are really extraordinary; and this discovery will enrich you by shaking quite a number of your ingrained convictions. -
2 Aug 06
Your love affairs are prosperous, but you'll need to tend them with the utmost care. This is a time of much energy and drive, perfect for launching a project or taking care of business. You could receive unexpected help from someone older. You'll have to exercise some control over your tongue when it comes to relationships with old friends; don't discuss sensitive subjects. Risk of difficult digestion; it's necessary to avoid heavy, fatty dishes, and to drink much water. -
3 Aug 06
This astral climate will tend to render all natives of the sign more available and less centered on their personal or material ambitions; it's liable to bring them new, original ideas and to grant them a better intuition or a more easygoing demeanor, which could be a positive factor in many domains. Chance should smile to you on the financial plane. Even for natives of the sign who are the most wrapped up in their work, love will be highlighted. They won't have difficulty finding the rare bird.
