HOROSCOPES

What kind of day will today be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Friday, July 6, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Today you have the advantage over all the other signs, because the Moon is in Aries. However, it is at odds with Pluto, which will make you intense. Avoid a head-on argument with someone.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

You prefer to work alone or behind the scenes today, because you want some privacy. This is a busy, fastpaced week, and you need to catch your breath.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

An interaction with a female friend is important today. Avoid confrontations. Avoid trying to improve someone or make him or her over. (People hate this.)

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

You are high-viz today, because the Moon is at the top of your chart. Nevertheless, beware of confrontations with others, especially close friends and partners. Step back and give the situation some breathing room.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and racial issues today, because people are hot-tempered. Don't tempt anyone. If things look dangerous, run the other way!

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Disputes about shared property or inheritances might arise today. If so, they could be nasty. Fortunately, they will be brief. (Easy does it.)

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

You are high-viz, and people notice you today. Therefore, guard against public arguments with partners and close friends. Who needs this? Not you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Someone might resist your suggestions about reforms or improvements at work today. You also might resist someone else's suggestions about how to improve your health. Either way, keep the peace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

It's a classic day for lovers' arguments. Don't even go there. Likewise, parents must be patient with their kids. These challenges just go with the territory.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Domestic arguments might arise today. Fortunately, they will be brief - but they could be very unpleasant! Take the high road, and avoid the nastiness.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Don't try to coerce others into agreeing with you or your beliefs today. You want to make the world a better place, but sometimes you have to go with the flow. Patience is key.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Money squabbles are likely today. You can avoid this by not getting involved. When the annals of history are written, who cares?
