HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, June 30, 2017:

This year you open up to more possibilities. Don’t worry — your priorities and your involvement with your home and family will not change. If you are single, you might long for someone to share your life with. Fortunately, you will honour your feelings and wait until you meet the right person. If you are attached, the two of you will focus on the quality of your home life. Libra expresses a certain type of sensitivity.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be focused on your responsibilities, whereas a friend is busy making plans for the coming weekend. Do not criticize this person; instead, try to clear out as much as you can in order to join him or her.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You might have the best intentions for how to spend the next 24 hours. Pace yourself and refuse to accept any more responsibilities or requests that could tie you up.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could be deep into your social and romantic life, at least in your head. You might have difficulty being present in the moment. The best solution would be to call it a day early.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) Follow through on your priorities, and don’t allow others to distract you. All the recent talk about your weekend plans could be distracting you from certain tasks.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You seem to be in sync with others right now. An emotional element could be causing a problem for you, whether you choose to discuss this issue or not.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Take a hard look at your budget before heading out the door. You might be having company over or want to fuss over an area in your home that needs updating.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The Moon in your sign adds to your radiance and appeal. You could feel as if someone has stopped you in your tracks when you meet him or her for the first time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have a reputation for being discreet, which is probably why so many people confide in you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Emphasize the positives of being as busy as you are. During the day and at work, you not only have support of those who can give you feedback, but you also have company for anything you might decide to do.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) A respected loved one is likely to request your presence at a get-together. You won’t be able to say no, but you might wish to be free to do other things.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might be on top of a situation, but someone in your immediate environment wants to test your ideas to see whether they are workable.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) A friend comes through for you and makes your day. You can’t seem to thank him or her enough. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 1, 2017:

This year you value your domestic life even more, if that is possible. You are aware of a need you have to be more independent and a self-starter. If you are single, you will want a meaningful relationship; do not settle for less. If you are attached, you and your sweetie emphasize your domestic life together. Libra might unintentionally create a lot of friction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) <star_4> Defer to others who seem to demand that they get the attention they desire. You might find a parent or boss to be very controlling and difficult.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) <star_3> Honour a change of pace. You might not want to go out as much as you usually do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) <star_5> Your sense of direction helps you decide who, what and where. You could be too tired to continue as you have been.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) <star_4> Spend all the time you want at your favourite place. Invite a friend or loved one over as you make a favourite meal or throw a party.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) <star_4> You will want to slow down a little right now. Consider taking some much-needed personal time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) <star_3> Curb a tendency to overindulge in some way just because it is the weekend. Instead of going on autopilot, choose what you want to do and with whom.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) <star_4> You could be on cloud nine right now. If you don’t want to be pulled down from this euphoric mood, be sensitive to those around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) <star_4> Make it OK to choose your own company, even if someone else calls you a snob as a result. You also just might want to spend the next few days quietly with a trusted loved one

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) <star_4> You might already have made a decision as to what you’d like to do, but another invitation is likely to come forward. Know that you can easily change your plans.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) <star_4> Reach out to an older friend or family member. Spending more time with this person will mean more to him or her than you can imagine. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) <star_4> Defer to someone whom you care a lot about. This person might live many miles away, but you still can maintain a sense of closeness just from talking to him or her.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) <star_4> Deal with a loved one directly. You will have such a good time together that, if you can, you will arrange to spend the remainder of the day together.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday,

July 2, 2017: This year you could be as changeable as the Moon’s phases and the tides. Some people could be drawn to your moodiness. You certainly are never boring! If you are single, you have a magnetic quality that draws many potential suitors toward you. Do not commit until you know someone well. If you are attached, the two of you often struggle to find some middle ground. Scorpio can be a fun and interesting playmate, though he or she also can be sarcastic and demanding.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) <star_3> You could be more explosive than you realize! Your anger emerges as a result of a system or structure that is imposed upon you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) <star_3> Get as much done as possible. You might go back and forth about how much you want to give of your time and talent.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) <star_3> Your playfulness emerges in the morning. You draw others to you when you express your childlike personality.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) <star_4> Your playfulness emerges in the afternoon, after some quiet time at home.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) <star_4> Make calls in the morning. You might wonder about several statements you hear.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) <star_3> Be careful about your choices in the morning, especially as it might be hard to come to an agreement about plans with someone else.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) <star_4> You wake up ready and willing to enjoy the day. A friend or loved one might want some more of your time and attention.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) <star_3> You could feel out of sorts when dealing with someone you don’t often see. A friend or loved one is likely to become very controlling.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov, 22-Dec.21) <star_3> Use the daylight hours to encourage a friend to go along with your ideas. The unexpected allows greater creativity to emerge. Listen to any feedback you get with discretion. Some of what is said could have some validity, but some might not.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) <star_4> You might be tired of not making the impression you would like to. A conversation with someone more sophisticated than you is likely to help you come with a solution. A friendship could be quite demanding. Think carefully about your feelings.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) <star_5> Keep reaching out for answers. You also will want to stop and have a discussion with a friend at a distance. The more ideas you work with, the better your plans or decision will be. Do your best not to irritate an older relative or friend.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) <star_4> Reach out to a loved one who often does not see eye to eye with you. You could be stunned by what you hear. Give this person some time to rethink his or her reaction. Consider taking a drive into the country for the afternoon.
