HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): As you back away from a conflict, you’ll be heading toward the core of tranquillity inside yourself.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): What does a weird pause mean? Is the other person uncomfortable or just unsure what goes next? Ask. Refrain from assumption.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Study what the others before you did. It will seem to take forever and then actually save you a lot of time.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): The reason you’re on the receiving end is that it’s simply your turn. So don’t overthink it. Get into graciousmode and start appreciating this stuff.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The wise one doesn’t necessarily have all of the information. Because wisdom isn’t so much about holding on to a lot of true facts, as it is about knowing who to be.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The people sharing generous opinions could be generous in other ways, too; supportive words are one of the easiest ways to share.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Tell the story about when the f lame of passion ignited in you and you’ll feel it

flicker again.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There’s a decision to be made, and you’re the best one to make it, mostly because you’re the only one you can really trust to follow through on this. Decide, and then set up your system of accountability.

Today’s birthday (July 6): You typically put work before pleasure, prioritize others higher than yourself and, of course, prize duty and responsibility above leisure. Change it up this year.

Your lucky numbers are: 44, 9, 2, 14 and 27.
