HOROSCOPE

Aries ( March 21-April 19): Someone has to be looking out for the group, and that someone is you today. Luckily, you have experience with controlled chaos.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Socializing will benefit you in unforeseen ways. A smile and a few words to a stranger will be all it takes to spark conversation.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Everyone deals with stress differently. Your way today is to reframe the stressful event, naming it “an adventure” or “an opportunity.”

Cancer (June 22-July 22): It’s only natural to want to spend time with people who are like you, but it’s a delightfully different friend who will broaden your horizons.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You may never jibe with a certain person as easily as you do with your best friends, but you can still have pleasant interactions.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A deep, forgotten wound is still a wound. However, its pain may never have been felt, so it arranges scenarios in which new pain is a possibility.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Though you continue to deliver with star quality, the attention will be diverted from you now. It’s likely that you’ll find this to be a pleasant change and a chance to relax.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): One possible course of action will be easier for you, but it will displease a friend. Avoid that one.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Soon you’ll steal the show, but you’re not quite ready to break out and do things on your own. You’ll learn by being a quiet observer and listener extraordinaire.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s hard to try out a new approach when you’re among people who know you well. Groups of strangers offer exciting possibilities for personal change.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Events will require your patience and fortitude. If you’re rested and at your best, you’ll figure out how to benefit from the situation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): If you can’t get away, reading, viewing media and talking with people who’ve lived in different places are forms of travel that will work almost as well.

Today’s birthday (July 7): Obey your gut feelings, especially when they come in the form of red f lags. Healthy relationships form when you start out attracted to each other and keep finding more reasons to be attracted the deeper you go. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 30, 22, 14 and 4.
