HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19):

Today you’re willing to take the risk to say what you think.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

Other people’s knowledge (especially on the topics of courtship, communication and business) will help you direct your relationships successfully.

Gemini (May 21-June 21):

Thinking is good, but you need to make the start official with an action.

Cancer (June 22-July 22):

If you have something to say, you’ll say it. Otherwise, your mood is pretty quiet all day.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

You are the landlord of your own head. Don’t let others rent space there if they aren’t going to be good tenants.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

There will be no understanding (or progress) without the benefit of multiple perspectives. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23):

The silence will overflow with meaning and answers if you’re willing to let it stretch out, unbroken, for a long while.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21):

Today a small sacrifice will be made for the healing of all involved.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21):

Language makes things happen quickly. Without the right words, today’s task will be difficult to pull off.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

Would you rather be successful or popular? Unfortunately, you’ll have to choose just one today, because the road to success will take so much focus there will be little time left for the social swirl.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

You’re far too busy to grieve for what you don’t have. You love and enjoy what you have. The more you use and appreciate it,

the better things get for you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

On a spiritual level, mistakes represent tuition paid. Just as it is in school, a paid tuition is only the minimum needed for entry. It’s up to the student to learn the lesson.

Today’s birthday (July 8):

Your friendly nature pays off in the way of fortunate opportunities that occur because you dared to break the ice with a stranger. There’s also a treasure in the form of someone who acknowledges you often, understands you usually and is a faithful companion. Financial highs come in September and March. Taurus and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 33, 39 and 15.
