Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 2, 2012: This year much of your energy will focus on making your daily life better. An interest in a hobby that keeps you moving helps your physical well-being. If single, you might find yourself attracted to someone very different from you. If attached, the two of you will benefit from traveling more together, alone as a couple. You might find that the embers of your love re-ignite. Capricorn approaches security in a very different manner from you. Both styles work. A baby born today has a sun in Cancer and a moon in Sagittarius if born before 3:51 p.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Capricorn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • Follow your instincts. You actually know what you want, even if others don’t. Let friends or loved ones slow you down, but only for a limited amount of time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • Realize what is going on behind the scenes with a child or loved one. You need to slow down and understand what is going on with a partner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • A child or loved one cares enormously but cannot express his or her feelings that easily. Your energy level could be too high for some people.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Clear out as much work as possible. You could be overtired and dragging until later today, when you suddenly have a surge of energy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • A serious conversation opens up your creativity. You have a way that attracts many people and, at the same time, controversy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Getting going takes extra energy and drive. You might want to be more centered than others before making an important decision.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • You have many opinions and might be challenged not to share them today. Ultimately, you could tumble into a problem that you don’t want to deal with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Be willing to find a solution to a money matter. You might not be so creative when your anger seems to bubble up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • Be more cheerful and direct with a friend who tends to be negative of late. You can make or break this person’s day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Stop pushing so hard to get your way. In the afternoon, you will find a different path to the same end.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Meetings and get-togethers with others go well most of the day. You enjoy people more than usual, until you get a certain message or call.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Many people follow your lead. You might want to rethink a personal decision, but not now. Someone obviously cares a lot about you.
