July forecast for Dragon
30th June 2009, 21:01 GMT
It feels like a windy day and you want to head to the beach to fly your kite. Sounds simple enough, maybe grab a Rat or Monkey friend as a companion for your outing. In Goat month, you feel like you can get your kite in the air, yet somehow one thing or another keeps getting in the way. You need to find the kite and the string. You need to wait for your friend. You need to get on your way. The wind drops by the time you get there or you manage to tangle the string into a knotty mess that is not easily undone. Goat month can show all the signs of life boding well, you have a kite and friends to have fun with. Yet there are still little niggles that mean you might have to be patient and wait a while before you can relax and watch your kite flutter in the wind. Focus on the positives and trust that the minor inconveniences can be resolved, just like you can unravel the tangled string in order to fly your kite when a windy day comes along. The 16th could prove to be a chaotic day, so slow down if you can.
Love
Could it be the sunshine or could it be the heady scent of the flowers? Goat month brings out the best in your romantic side and why contain yourself when you can show the world just how wonderful you feel. Whether newly in love or happily settled, enjoy being romantic.
Career
You can get an assignment off the ground and off to a flying start despite there being a small setback. Keep up the enthusiasm by motivating yourself and the rest of the team. It can be all too easy to slacken off and lose focus when you see empty chairs around and wish you were the one who was on holiday.
Money
If you want to rush out and buy something for your summer holidays, by all means pick up what you need. Avoid getting carried away and buying far more than you actually need. Keep a keen eye out for a bargain and your budget can stretch to you having a lot more fun.
