ARIES (March 21-April 19): You might just be the star of the social scene, attracting admirers with your charm. Professional demands, however, might make you late for a social event or prevent you from enjoying something you’ve been looking forward to.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Let your heart lead the way in relationships. Don’t let self-doubt or fear sway your professional confidence or personal choices. Sprinkle a little sweetness into every task and encourage people to share their imaginative ideas.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Your efforts and hard work aren’t going unnoticed. Keep pursuing your dreams and goals despite any possible distractions that may arise. Consider talking to your optimistic friends and continue forward towards your goals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): While practical matters are important, sometimes it’s thoughtful gestures that truly fill your heart with joy. You might need to struggle to find a way to juggle your routines but try to spend quality time with loved ones or on social outings.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Your savvy skillset might just turn heads. You may feel a pull to keep an eye on dynamics between people closest to you, but don’t let it dim your professional glow. Connect with your friends to exchange thoughts and nurture your dreams.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Resist tempting propositions and things that may seem too good to be true. Your hopes might not happen exactly as you’d imagined, so remain determined. Responsibilities may be a constant thing, but don’t let them steal your joy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You might prefer to dream of what it could be like to someday have wealth while those close to you may be focused on making money and planning their finances in the now. Someone’s finely honed work ethic could influence your decision-making.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Perhaps you wonder if you need to cut back on at least some of your commitments. If you feel like you’re not being appreciated, it might make sense to let go of obligations that you took on just to please someone else.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Embrace things that you find to be most comforting such as your favorite food or movie. Sometimes, things won’t go as planned, but they might just turn out better than you could’ve imagined and brighten your day.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Embrace your freedom to come and go as you please. Love the liberty you have but consider releasing any thoughts for those who may not join you because of their own commitments. Focus on social life and having fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You might hope to rid yourself of expenses and obligations that aren’t essential but could find it much more complicated than you expected. Your hours may be better spent in enjoying quality time with your friends and loved ones.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Hiding out and pretending a challenge doesn’t exist may not be the best way to steer clear of trouble. Take care of your obligations and face up to your responsibilities. You may receive praise from spreading love and kindness to others.

IF JULY 4 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: During the next two weeks, your professional courage may experience a slight downturn, so it may be wise to be cautious about spending and investments. You might not be the savvy peacemaker you thought you were and could be influenced into participating in ventures that over-promise and under-deliver as August approaches. Consider concentrating on getting your “to do” list completed and being more physically active to scatter the cobwebs and restore your confidence. Read the fine print and don’t enter new contracts or agreements in the first half of September when your fantasies and wishful thinking might block your levelheadedness. Watch your finances in early October when your tactics could fail. In late October things may change for the better and a door might open that reveals a path to permanent improvements or better conditions. You might also meet someone who offers sound advice and has your best interest in mind.
