HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19). The dilemma will be whether it is more worthwhile to be a well-rounded person or to focus in on what you do best and do it to the hilt.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). There’s a fixed number of things you can ask before the other person gets tired of answering. Be smart about it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). The way it is today is the way it usually is. You’ll give before you get. You’ll pave the relationship road with plenty of goodwill and low expectations of return. And all will work out, as it usually does.

Cancer (June 22-July 22). To succeed at the aim, it helps to be in love with the goal. And it helps even more to be in love with the process required to get to the goal. If you’re not in love, it’s still possible; it’s just harder.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). You are great with details, keeping people on track and understanding what needs to be done and the order in which it would be best accomplished. You’ll be paid well for applying these skills.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you thought about how hard it was going to be before you embarked, you wouldn’t have embarked. The seduction of life — the misinformation, temptation and the like — can work in your favor.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your soul will speak to you through your curiosity about a subject. Also, when you are moved by an event or touched by beauty, that’s your soul speaking up.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not sure what to do. There’s no objectively right answer. There’s no map. This is not navigating; it’s way-finding. Go forward with courage, and remember that winners fail a lot more times than losers do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The animal nature is not to be tamed so much as respected. Today such respect may be shown by giving the wild spirit the space it needs. The natural inclination to fight for personal space is something to anticipate.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even for the very astute, appearances can and will deceive. Be careful not to look for the reasons things are so without first verifying whether they are really so.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your dreams, though unrealized, are alive and well and will remain so for as long as you feed them. Seize today’s opportunity to go a little further toward fleshing things out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). The impact of good light and temperature can’t be underestimated. To be living comfortably in the sunlight is to be fully alive. And if a friend is near, that completes the joy.

Today’s Birthday (July 10). You’ll barely be able to contain your pleasure over the unfolding events of the next five weeks. Go ahead and make the commitment you’ve been pondering. You’re ready! There’s an investment that pays next week. Libra and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 12, 22 and 19.
