July 16 Zodiac Birthday Signs – Receptive and intelligent, with common sense and intuitive abilities, you are often a self-assured Cancerian. Since you are able to learn new skills quickly, you are practical and decisive, able to combine your inner wisdom with good judgment. If you feel secure in your own knowledge, you can use your leadership abilities to rise to positions of authority or enjoy taking a leading stand, especially in family affairs.
The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Pisces, implies that you have a strong sixth sense. Since you are receptive and sensitive to sound and vibration, you may find music to be a calming influence. Naturally gifted, you have many talents and can pick and choose the career you like.
Friendly and caring, you like to entertain or socialize. Although you have a warm heart, at times you will not accept interference from others, and your stubborn streak can cause you to act impatiently and appear intolerant.
A need for expansion and the ability to survey the whole suggests that you set high standards for yourself. Success can come through education and higher learning or through social, moral, or religious aspirations. All is possible if you can master self-discipline and overcome emotional insecurities.
After the age of six, when your progressed Sun moves into Leo, you become less shy or security-conscious.

Inside your sensitive heart are both a need for creativity and a strong drive for material success. Since at times you can be generous to a fault, your desire for money includes giving to others as well as protection for both yourself and your loved ones. You may have to be careful of losing energy to emotional worry or indecision, particularly involving close relationships.
With developed social skills and a desire to be of service to others, you may find your drive for material success is best channeled into areas that use your enormous potential. This includes creating positive opportunities to use the wealth of information that you possess. If you keep yourself mentally and creatively occupied, you will not have the time or the opportunity to dwell on events and worry unnecessarily.
Work & Vocation

A caring or humanitarian side of your nature could provide you with the impetus to excel as a teacher, counselor, or social worker, or in a job that requires speaking up for others. This may include involvement in unions or politics. Other careers may include law or occupations of a philosophical or religious nature. However, the more practical side of your nature may also be attracted to business or Banking. Alternatively, your creativity and quick way with words may lead you to writing, music, or drama.
