A Forecast and a Puzzle

- by Davi Rodrigues -

     Instead of writing like an astrologist - which I'm not even willing to be -, I decided to make a horoscope prediction more interesting. Each clue has a hint of the answer in the form of an idiom or colloquial usage of an English word. Have fun, and have a nice July. Those who can, of course, because there are quite some bad predictions here.

1             2             3                               4   5                                     6                                                         7                           8                                                                     9                                                           10

ACROSS1. July is a very important month for this sign, they might get a little CRABBY no near their birthdays. 2. In July, your GLASS will be half empty. 4. Except for your friends and family, this month is going to be a fine kettle of FISH. 6. Except for a few money problems that will be solved by the end of the month, your July is going to be fit for a KING. 8. Love and money will be ok, but this sign will really have a hard time finding BALANCE in their relationships. 9. This guy is going to be a little anti-social in July. Be careful not to look like your evil TWIN. 10. These guys are very likely to hit the BULL's eye in July.

DOWN1. Because July is their opposite birthday, things might be getting their GOAT this month. 2. Regarding money, for this guy, July will come in like a lion, and go out as a LAMB. 3. In all aspects, this sign can spend July SHOOTING for the stars. 5. It's going to be a hard month, but your friends and family will take the STING out of it. 7. In your love life, it's time to stop being a PRUDE and do something unexpected.
