HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your love is a rare and beautiful gift best invested where it can be appreciated. If you’re not getting feedback that you’re appreciated, then you’re probably not.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): If you got into love a little deeper than was good for you, you have it in you to save your own heart like a hero.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): People on the offense will make moves to defend themselves, and this creates conflict. So refrain from threatening people’s beliefs, possessions or position.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): When you’re putting in the quality attention and work, even the tiniest things can bring you a great sense of accomplishment and elation.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): When people barely known to you do kind things, it restores your trust in the good

of humanity.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A deeper look into your possessions will reveal what you have, what you thought you’d lost and what you’d totally forgotten about.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Take stock of current resources, material and immaterial; you’ll soon reopen “shop.” Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): For whatever reason, others seem fine with all that’s going on. But everyone is different. Suddenly you’ll feel creative.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Do people really belong to each other? It depends on whom you ask. This will be the question at the heart of the action:

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll combat difficult people with tolerance, acceptance and love. You’ll win with peace and self-respect.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Lately, you haven’t had enough tranquility to do the

deep thinking that connects you with the most intelligent and creative parts of yourself. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Follow instructions and you’ll be a hit with the boss. Deference to authority is a skill that will serve the whole team well today.

Today’s birthday (July 12): The Chinese word ”guanxi” describes a network of trusting relationships essential to conducting business. This year, such a network will bring happiness and prosperity to you. You’ll develop a system of measuring goodwill. Those who learn your ways and earn your trust will get your business, your love or both. Sagittarius and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 4, 16 and 23.
