Horoscope for July 16

This year, focus on the quality of your most important relationships and what is really important to you. Don’t get caught up in the trivial. Work with a partner or trusted friend who supports you in realizing this goal. If you are single, you will miss being coupled up, though you are likely to meet a very special person. Aquarius comes through for you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
