Rise and Shine on July 24 (good news from an unexpected quarter brightens your day – if not your year!), July 27 (your good-natured handling of a contentious matter gets others to show off their better natures too), and July 30 (every creative whim is a potential thumbnail sketch for a brilliant design)

Duck and Cover on July 25 (a settlement goes in your favor, but don’t relax your guard. There’s bound to be some appeal, challenge, or technicality in the next 5 weeks ), July 26 (a demanding partner or associate really goes off the deep end today. Toss a lifeline. S/he will need it), July 28 (just because the wording in a contract or agreement favors you doesn’t mean there won’t be hell to pay), July 29 (every fiber of your being wants to break ties, but don’t. You’re better off together than not), and July 31 (that person you’re trying to straighten out is very confused and all the explaining in the world won’t help. Leave things be for now)
