July 16 is a prey to love and nothing seems right with the world unless they are consumed by greedy desire. This is OK when people born on this day are very young, but it can get in the way in middle age. Although in old age the spring in this creature's step is what keeps him and her entrancing, while others are content to wind down.
Because they are clever and very good planners- and because somebody senior fancies them - July 16 may zoom up the career ladder fast. But no amount of golden promises, company cars, expensive lunches and company-funded holidays will divert this individual from dropping everything to follow a gorgeously beckoning opportunity. However unwise.
This is the Lothario at work who every female colleague longs to kiss. He never lacks for coffee and biscuits and just a flash of his even teeth makes women shiver pleasurably. It makes no odds to him if a girl is married, or going out with his best friend. He plays around, always leaving people wanting more - except when the involvement is with the boss's daughter, when the solution is usually to marry her.
The female version suffers from Marilyn Monroe syndrome. Too needy for new pleasures, too intent on provoking, she is only saved from being thought a slut by her moon-radiant beauty.
Never mind. July 16 is a sex-bod and that's the way it is. In any close encounter with this jewel, expect the most expert lovemaking. Cancer has extra sensitive skin, so ever conscious of the pleasures of stroked flesh, this person excells at ‘efrleurage' which is a massaging movement where you glide your palms across the skin, putting body weight behind the movement. And ‘pétrissage', where the balls of fingers and thumbs move in a circular motion to soothe any muscle tension along the spine. (Do not massage the spine itself.)
You’re romantic and caring but emotionally erratic and easily hurt by disinterest or rejection. You don’t take love lightly; you’re looking for an intimate union that is meaningful and profound. Consequently, close relationships can be difficult for you to sustain. Insecurities tend to undermine your confidence, and your ideal partner is the one who makes you feel loved without holding on too tightly. Other people may regard you as a genuine mystery because you require time on your own for private contemplation. Togetherness is fine with you, but you also need periods of solitude in order to recharge your batteries.
The moodiness of your paradoxical personality extends into the bedroom.
You can be intense and serious one moment and carefree and playful the next. More often than not, you try to hide your emotional intensity behind a mask of cheerful joviality. You thrive with a sensual, spontaneous lover.
Your most cherished moments of intimacy often come in the form of small surprises. Tender kisses or caresses while you’re sleeping will wake you and your lusty libido.
June 16s who travel by air and suffer from unglamorous l jet flight leg' might like to try a new remedy put forward by Newcastle skin specialist Dr Sam Shuster. He recommends elastic compression stockings to prevent unpleasant swelling of the legs, ankles and feet during longer flights. Dr Shuster reports in the Lancet that women, especially those who suffer from varicose veins may find that the lightweight stockings help. It also can apply to older people, girls who are at the wrong time of the month and men with skin allergies and who smoke. It's so much more morale-boosting to step lightly onto the tarmac on slender feet.
Your mind creates endless erotic fantasies that you long to play out with your lover. However, you may be too shy to talk over your imaginings with your partner. The astute bedmate able to prize them out of you will certainly be rewarded with fabulous moments of sensuous lovemaking that take full advantage of the unusual and unexpected.

In worldly matters, you are ambitious, focused, and have a formidable sense of purpose and a tenacious determination to achieve success and recognition. However, your overly suspicious nature can make you unnecessarily paranoid and distrustful. Moreover, you are exceedingly proud and prone to hurt feelings. When your authority or dignity is undermined, you tend to turn sullen and defensive.
