HOROSCOPE

Aries ( March 21-April 19): When are you going to do that thing that sends exuberance buzzing through your body as more of a sensation than an emotion?

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You appreciate beautiful people, but if someone proves unkind or thoughtless, beauty drains quickly from view.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You’ll protect the defenseless, balance the energy of intense people, tend to the lonely and serve the helpless.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You identify more strongly with your common heritage of being a friend, a family member and a human than with your specialness of being a gifted person.

Leo ( July 23-Aug. 22): Being around someone who loves you can be a treat. You can feel the energy of that

love, and you bask in it. Of course, sometimes it’s too much.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): What if your opponent is inside you, a persistent voice feeding you lies and misinformation? Ignoring it could make it go away.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If you insist on one way of proceeding, you will come to a wall and be stopped. Be open to new solutions.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Any babysitter will tell you that what seems like an emergency to a child is but a passing annoyance to a more seasoned individual. Today you play both roles.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): You want to feel firmly in control, but of course that won’t work in the context of a relationship. Sharing with another person means letting go of some of that control.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is satisfaction to be mined from small gains.

But you have to be willing to accept the gift.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re moving quickly through the landscape today. When one vista loses its mystique, you are on to the next view.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Is it cynical to think no one cares what you can do because they only care what you can do for them? Maybe. But it’s practical to understand this human nature.

Today’s birthday (July 5): You’ll build relationships slowly, step by step, which is perfect, so don’t become impatient. A friendship that solidifies this month leads to August adventure. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 22, 38 and 18.
