Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, July 4, 2012: This year you could change your focus from being the person who values family and home above all else to the person who seeks different yet basic answers to questions of life and death. If single, you could meet someone who provokes deep thinking or has a lot of depth him- or herself. If attached, your conversations might be very important in designing your future years together. You might look at more traveling as well. Aquarius seems cool, but he or she really cares. A baby born today has a sun in Cancer and a moon in Capricorn if born before 5:26 p.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • You might shy away from some attention, yet it will find you. When you finally kick back and stop worrying, the fun mood of celebration allows you to join in.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • Reach out for someone at a distance who might be very important to you. You have experienced a lot of tension, and finally relaxing feels good.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Dedicate the morning and, if possible, most of the day to a loved one. You might notice that a child seems unusually restrained.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • You might want a lazy, easy pace, yet you have difficulty honoring your own desires. An element of the unexpected runs riot, but the end results could be delightful.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Maintain an easy pace. You’ll want to resist offering too much of your time. To be generous is delightful, but not to the point where you jeopardize your well-being.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • You add that extra touch of merriment to any situation. Stop for a snooze if need be, but once you rev up your engine, you might not want to stop.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Stay on top of a situation surrounding a family member. You might need to air out a problem to feel totally like yourself again.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Friends clearly want your attention, and the sooner, the better. Enjoy seeing people who you rarely have a chance to see.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Bring others together for a planned or spontaneous get-together. A change at home could allow more flexibility.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Beam in more of what you want. A call from someone at a distance could make you a little sad or sway you not to go through with plans.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Take your time, pull back and do some hard thinking before joining in on the local celebrations. Continue using care with your finances.
