Horoscope: July 3

Aries (March 21-April 19): Your sign mate and avant-garde playwright Samuel Beckett said it well. “Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Even when you are very still, some part of you, like your mind or your heart, is dancing.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You are emotionally secure and, therefore, not jarred by changes. Instead, you expect and welcome them.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You intend to be patient and loving, and that is usually how you come across. You sometimes have to remind yourself of this intention, though.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your inner reality is different from the inner reality of your loved ones, especially those of the opposite sex. Your needs are different too. You recognize this and do what makes you feel safe, secure, creative and vital.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your aim is to go out and be dynamic as you work to make the world a better place. You may “go out” only as far as the local grocery store, but the way you interact there will still improve the world.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What you witness will move you. Your heart will melt as you surrender to the love you feel.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your plans are not exactly working out the way you wanted them to, but don’t get too upset about it. This new way is most likely the best way.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): It’s time to get conscious of the rules and regulations that go along with being in a relationship with you. Do you know what they are?

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll be visiting new venues and perhaps a place of worship. Observe others to learn what’s expected.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Intention is powerful. You send terrific energy to your family, and they deal with their challenges more easily because of the boost.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There is so much going on for you these days that the thought of having time to yourself may seem indulgent and impractical. And yet, it is vital to your health and well being.

Today’s birthday (July 3): You’ll have great powers of tenacity this year. You’ll make a statement about your intentions and follow through until that statement comes true. This month brings helpful teachers and new resources. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 8, 14, 36 and 42.
