HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll be asked to work on a job that you don’t know the first thing about. Stay receptive. Ask questions. Taurus (April 20-May 20): The goal of being present without requiring any particular product of the moment will result in beautiful times.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Taking on extraordinary challenges will make you brave, strong and better in all the ways that count.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Tell them a little less than they really want to know and you’ll have them leaning forward in their attempt to sate the appetite you’ve whetted.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The more details you can notice, the better you’ll be able to take advantage of the opportunities.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Worrying causes you to be

aware of possibilities and choose your course carefully. But don’t agonize over heavy stuff. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Heartache isn’t a problem to solve; it’s a healing process. When your heart is peaceful, you move better, feel healthier and have more vitality to work with.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): People decide each other’s value based on how much benefit the other person brings or could bring to them. Decide your own value, because any assessment others make will be wrong.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): On days like today, you’re better off not calling it a success, a failure, or even a wash. Just have the courage to continue. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There’s much to learn from others, and you won’t be sorry if you put companionship over business, but that’s just for today. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The moments and focus you give to other people matter. You value what you give, and appreciate the value of what others give.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Just because you’re an old soul doesn’t mean you can’t be naive, silly and surprised by fresh life. Today you’ll be wise and awoken.

Today’s birthday (July 5): You’ll love the swirling dance of this solar return, but this is more than a whirlwind of activity. There’s a real purpose to accomplish here. It used to be about getting your goal, but now it’s so much more. There are many who will work and live better when you get what you want. You can’t let them down, and you won’t. Taurus and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers: 7, 30, 25, 8 and 39.
