Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Wednesday 14 July 2010


Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Friends have been overly demanding, and you're a little tired of it. The next time somebody asks for a loan or forgets to return your property, issue an ultimatum. You simply can't continue to part with your valuables for the sake of making everyone else happy. Fortunately, people can tell when you mean business, and will stop coming to you for help at the first time of distress. Your attitude may seem callous, but it's the result of trying circumstances.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Lots of secrecy surrounds your workplace, and you can't seem to crack the code. Beware of a rival who may be trying to steal your thunder. If a promotion becomes available, be ready to try for it. You may want to ask a career counsellor about putting together a portfolio of work samples and improving your interviewing skills. You may think you have an accurate idea of your strengths and weaknesses, but an objective opinion is critical during such times.

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Getting the training or experience you need may be elusive. You'll have to take some remedial classes or reapply to a program before getting the green light. In the meantime, don't be discouraged. Apply for scholarships and government grants, and ask influential friends to write letters of recommendation. Family is very supportive right now. Let your nearest and dearest pamper you with home cooked meals, kind words, and evenings out on the town. These welcome distractions will keep pessimism at bay.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Identity theft is a huge problem and you could become a victim if you don't take basic precautions. Update your passwords so they won't be easily guessed. Keep your credit cards in a safe place, and don't reveal personal information to inquisitive acquaintances. You might also want to install a firewall on your computer. Your best friend, business contact or romantic partner is urging you to improve your financial situation. Take their career advice and work on your negotiating skills.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Somebody is sending mixed signals, and you don't appreciate it. You're the type who needs to know where you stand in order to be happy. A good way to force your tormentor's hand is to plunge yourself into work. Sinking your teeth into a challenging project will take your mind off your troubles and give you a welcome outlet for your creative skills. If you play your cards right, you can even sell the fruits of your labour and have some extra cash for luxuries.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) It's possible some medication is having some negative side effects. If you don't feel up to par, talk to a medical professional about adjusting the levels. Give a thorough list of everything you take, as well as your dietary and sleep habits. All these things can combine to compromise your sense of wellbeing. It's become impossible to deny your feelings towards someone special any longer. You'll either have to act on your feelings or put some distance between you and the object of your affection.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) Being in love with love is all well and good, but it can get you in trouble when it comes to real relationships. Fairy tales are imaginary. If you're going to join hearts with someone, you have to accept the bad with the good. Part of the problem is the way you were raised. You may not have had healthy examples to follow. Counselling can help. Be willing to challenge your attitudes towards romance. Learning to enjoy solitude will make you happier, too.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You want to distance yourself from your emotions for fear of getting hurt. Until you're able to admit the depth of your feelings, your relationships will suffer. If you're getting over a toxic romance, think about taking a short trip. Getting a change of scenery will give you a new lease on life. It might also prompt you to take a class after you read a local magazine or newspaper. Architecture, archaeology and ancient history are among the subjects that appeal to you now.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Check your calendar before heading out, or you could miss an important appointment. Also be careful about sending hasty text messages or emails that might be misunderstood, especially if you're communicating with your boss or an important client. By conducting yourself with grace and dignity, you could put yourself in line for a promotion. If you make a success of this endeavour, be ready to ask for a raise or share of the profits. It's only fair, considering how well you performed.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Beware of donating money to a charity you've never heard of before. The person running this operation may be lining their own pockets instead of helping those in real need. If you think you've been fleeced, notify the authorities immediately. Someone from a foreign country is sending out flirtatious signals. Let your admirer introduce you to films, music, and food from their native land. Variety is the spice of life. Don't underestimate your sex appeal; it is formidable today!

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) You're living in a fantasy world, which gets you in trouble with love. If you continue putting your amour on a pedestal, he or she will ultimately disappoint you. Take a more realistic view of their strengths and weaknesses, and don't get too upset when they fall short of your expectations. Having a more open minded attitude will definitely benefit your love life; be ready to try something new. Trust your body's instincts; they'll lead you in a thrilling direction.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Unfortunately, you can't escape the harsh realities of work. You'll have to face off with a hostile client or colleague. In the past, you've avoided confrontation like the plague. Now you have to draw a line in the sand, or this bully will continue to take advantage of your soft heart. Learn from an intimidating friend. The louder your adversary becomes, the softer you should modulate your voice. Maintain eye contact and don't be the first to blink.

Auto-update

Is it time for the dollar index to rally?

The dollar index, which put in a strong performance in the
first six months of the year, pulled back from its recent
highs and appears to be in defensive mode.

If you are not familiar with the US dollar index (USDX), it
is an index, or measure, of the value of the United States
dollar relative to a basket of foreign currencies.

http://www.ino.com/info/584/CD16/&dp=0&l=0&campaignid=3

Its weighted geometric mean of the dollar's value is compared
with these currencies in the following percentages:

* Euro (EUR), 57.6% weight
* Japanese yen (JPY), 13.6% weight
* Pound sterling (GBP), 11.9% weight
* Canadian dollar (CAD), 9.1% weight
* Swedish krona (SEK), 4.2% weight
* Swiss franc (CHF) 3.6% weight

In this short educational video, I point out what we see in the
dollar index and the reason why we think a potential rally may
be in the foreseeable future.

As always our videos are free to watch and there is no need for
registration.

If you'd like to make a comment on this or any of our videos,
we enjoy hearing your thoughts.

Russell Grant's Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday 13 July 2010


.

Aries (Mar21/Apr20) Creating a pleasant routine will cause others to look on you with renewed respect. Don't make the mistake of putting all of your effort into your career. By developing some hobbies, you'll become a well rounded, fascinating person that everyone wants to know. Your boss will take note of this change and may offer you more creative jobs. You're especially good at finding small ways to make clients feel comfortable and valued. This makes all the difference in a tough economy.

.

Taurus (Apr21/May21) Making your home a beautiful showplace is something of an obsession for you. You long to be surrounded by a variety of rich textures, vibrant colours, and inviting fragrances. Don't bother hiring an interior decorator; trust your instincts instead. Once people see the results of your work, they will ask you to help with their own decorating efforts. If you play your cards right, this could become a profitable sideline for you. Stranger things have happened!

.

Gemini (May22/Jun21) Surrender to your sentimental side. Usually, you're planning for the future. Today you're looking back at the past with a feeling of tenderness. Putting together a photo album, music compilation, or scrapbook for a friend's birthday is strongly advised. If you feel stressed, treat yourself to a massage or spa treatment. Too often, you ignore your body's needs, preferring to overcome aches and pains through sheer willpower. Stop trying to be tough and cut yourself a little slack.

.

Cancer (Jun22/Jul23) Getting out of a rut should be your first order of business. Lately, you've been thinking about taking a writing class. Sign up now, while you're in a daring kind of mood. Your teacher will have a profound effect on the way you see the world. It's even possible the two of you will fall in love. Even if you don't, you may decide to form a professional partnership. Your leadership ability will get your instructor the acclaim they deserve.

.

Leo (Jul24/Aug23) Normally, you're quite self centred; today you're intent on waiting hand and foot on your amour. Attending to their every need brings you closer together. It will also emit some sexual sparks in the bedroom. Draw on your acting talent to fulfil a fantasy for your partner. If you're single, you could meet someone special at work. You're especially drawn to somebody who has a dry wit and an air of authority.

.

Virgo (Aug24/Sep23) Someone has turned their full powers of seduction on you. It's hard to resist such temptation. Giving into your sensual side will be liberating. Too often, you listen to your head over your heart. Now you have a chance to embark on romance, you can afford to throw caution to the wind. If you're already in a relationship, this would be a great time to buy a house or start a family. Broach the subject over a candlelit dinner.

.

Libra (Sep24/Oct23) You're very sensitive to your surroundings, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it will help you make several improvements to your household. There's no reason to follow your parents' example if it doesn't work for your lifestyle. Rearrange the rooms, reassign the chores, and get rid of the clutter. Money from a refund or inheritance allows you to buy some luxurious furnishings. Go ahead and indulge your love of the finer things in life.

.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22) You're unique and a little provocative; no wonder why you cause a commotion wherever you go! Friends are inspired by your anything goes attitude, and may ask you to take charge of a group project. Take this on with the understanding you have ultimate veto power. Making decisions by committee has never been your style. Good news regarding a business deal makes you more relaxed about your financial future. At long last, you can turn down some odious jobs you were forced to take in the past.

.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21) Your easygoing manner attracts lots of clients from outside your employer's normal customer base. Somehow, you manage to make everyone feel welcome. Take this opportunity to ask for a raise or promotion. Even your boss can't deny you've been an integral part of the business's success. If you work for yourself, find a way to expand your clientele with new services, products, and locations. Now is the time to think big; worriers will be left by the wayside.

.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20) Your powers of salesmanship are at an all time high. Use them to convince someone to try a new service, invest in a business, or grant you a loan. If you need a scholarship, this is a great time to apply. Your persuasive essay will set you apart from all the other applicants. These days, it's refreshing to meet someone who refuses to fall prey to cynicism. An employer who is impressed by your positive attitude may reward you with a raise, promotion, or both.

.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19) Normally, you're pretty removed when it comes to romance. Today you can't get a certain someone out of your mind. Something about their voice, eyes, and smile makes you want to spend your whole life together. Go ahead and take the plunge. The two of you will make a very happy couple. If you've already made a commitment, head off to a romantic hideaway with your amour. Be sure to hire a babysitter to stay with the children; this should be an adults only holiday.

.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20) Your love life sizzles with excitement, so if you're looking for love, you could find it with a friend you've known for years. Although things have always been platonic between you in the past, you're starting to sense some chemistry between you. If you're already in a relationship take this chance to make a cherished wish come true for your amour. Your kindness and generosity will reap big rewards in the bedroom. Prepare for an evening of indoor fireworks!
