HOROSCOPES

What kind of day will today be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign.

For Saturday, July 1, 2017 ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

This has been a challenging week, and today is no exception. Avoid arguments with partners, friends and family members. Do what you can to keep the peace.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Be patient with co-workers and customers today, because it's all too easy to say something you'll later regret. Once the words have left your mouth, you can't take them back.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

This is Saturday; however, it's not an easy day for social functions. People feel closed off and even unfriendly. That's just how it is.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Steer clear of an unhappy family member today, because things will only go downhill. People are easily upset or discouraged. Do what you can to stay positive.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Arguments with others might arise today, but they don't really have to. These are fleeting challenges caused by the Moon, so they are short-lived. Just avoid the nasties.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

You might have a confrontation with a friend or member of a group about money or how certain items are handled. Don't let this get you down. Basically, it's peanuts.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign; however, it is at odds with Mars, Pluto and Mercury. Yikes! You might want to run away and find some quiet time with some good junk food.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Do not let the words or actions of others discourage you today. People might say things they don't mean. It's just that kind of day. Easy does it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

Be forgiving with a friend if he or she says something that hurts your feelings, because that is possible today. (And keep in mind that you are very frank and sometimes blunt as well.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Definitely avoid difficult discussions with bosses and parents today. Some people are just waiting and looking for a fight. You don't need this.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Avoid controversial discussions about politics, religion and racial issues today, because this is a poor day for these kinds of talks. They will get out of hand quickly.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Postpone an important discussion about inheritances and shared property until next week. Today, power struggles and arguments can arise easily.
