<p>As the calendar turns to July, the zodiac shifts into the sign of the nurturing and intuitive Cancer. This water sign season encourages emotional expression and a focus on domestic comforts. While Cancer crabs retreat into their shells, the other signs find unique ways to shine during this introspective time of year.</p>

<p>While it may be flattering to see so many people set on celebrating your birthday, it’s worth working out how many are keen to commemorate your passing of another year and how many just fancy being wined and dined at your expense. </p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>While you might enjoy this particular lesson in arithmetic, it will help you revaluate just who has slipped into your entourage of late, with some arriving uninvited and some you have had to grudgingly admit out of consideration for the feelings of others. </p>



<div style="height:15px" aria-hidden="true" class="wp-block-spacer"></div>



<p>Take this as an opportunity to whittle down your inner circle, gradually easing out those that are neither valued nor ornamental. It may seem difficult initially to separate the wheat from the chaff, but this strategic paring down will serve you well in the months to come, focusing your attention on those who merit and dispensing with those too inclined to share your secrets.</p>

<p>A loved one may confide a surprising secret to you this month, a problem of their own creation and of long gestation. Withhold any judgment, though, and listen sympathetically and with as open a perspective as you can possibly muster, and you may find the solution hiding in plain sight. <em>(Gemini of the month: Xi Jinping, Chinese president; 15 Jun 1953)</em></p>

<p>With the stars aligning in your favour, you may experience an unusual surge of boldness and self-belief.

<p>After a rather uneventful summer, it may seem like you’re suddenly being bombarded with unanticipated challenges and unwanted opportunities. The danger is you will feel obliged to pursue them out of a misguided sense of etiquette, while in your heart of hearts you can see them for what they are – every bit as lame as they are unlucrative. <em>(Aries of the month: Amancio Ortega, Spanish businessman; 28 Mar 1936)</em></p>
