Horoscope: July 4

Aries (March 21-April 19): Safe topics include your location, the weather and current events. Stick to those, and you’ll make and keep friends

Taurus (April 20-May 20): There are too many aspects to your personality to say that you are one person. You are many people, and there are many more you could be.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You get the feeling that the stakes have been raised, and you respond by asking more of yourself.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Moods are as temporary as clouds. Savor the sweet emotional weather, and when things turn gray, realize that it will soon pass.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The reason your plans come together so nicely is that you rule with genuine caring and kindness.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have so much going for you now, including your great sense of humor. Just look at who’s laughing at your jokes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll explore and learn. No matter how much knowledge you attain, it only makes you wonder more.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Just as you wouldn’t eat every meal at a doughnut shop, you have a way of pacing life’s other treats so that you can best enjoy them.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): When you do something nice for people, they don’t always respond right away. It’s best to choose an action that is its own reward.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Fear is the enemy. It wants to get in your way today, but don’t let it. The opportunities that are presented are rare and must be seized.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Anger does have a positive side. It’s an affirmation of your emotional involvement. You get angry only because you care so much.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Acting in the service of your love doesn’t automatically guarantee that you will make the choice that best suits the other person’s needs.

Today’s birthday (July 4): You’ll do good, and you’ll do it in a way that no one else can. Through July and August, you are preparing to win. The work will not seem difficult, but it will require daily practice. You’ll sign a new deal in September. November brings travel. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 46, 42, 36 and 21.
