Children & Family
Reincarnation is often the key element in the story of July 16 people and their families. In cases where there has been unhappiness between parties in an earlier incarnation, the people involved in the current relationship will inevitably seek to work out their differences. They often feel this powerful karmic tie for the first time when they become parents.

Health
Because of their extreme spiritual sensitivity, July 16 men and women sometimes suffer from ailments that seem to have no cause but that are actually created by past-life traumas. Of course, they should first look for answers on the current plane, but if these are not forthcoming, they need to consult a reputable past-life regression therapist.

Career & Finances
July 16 people have a great deal of artistic talent. They're often drawn to careers that allow them to express themselves creatively. Money is relatively inconsequential to them. They are more concerned with expressing their sensitivity in a positive way.

Dreams & Goals
July 16 natives have the ability to reach the highest levels of spirituality, and if they are open to all the positive influences around them, they'll be able to leave this life even more enriched than when they came into it.
