Horoscope: July 1

Aries (March 21-April 19): Sometimes it seems unfair that the other guy gets to pick the fruit from the tree you planted. Today fortune favors you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You hate to ask people for anything. But get over it. Your helpers are more enamored of you than those you help.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Raise your expectations. If you treat your loved ones as though they have already reached their potential, they just might do it.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): If you’re going to make an assumption, let it be one that will enhance your life. Assume that fortune is smiling on you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You have so many more freedoms than you ever had before. You can truly design your time the way you always wanted to.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You notice when someone needs your encouragement, and you readily give it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You are hesitant to engage those who have obvious problems because you realize that becoming involved will reduce your resistance.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): It truly is a lucky day. You can drop a fear and identify yourself as brave and strong.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have the kind of hands-on experience that can’t be bought. It happened because you learned the necessary steps and took them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Even the most popular performers spend a very small percentage of their life onstage. You also have the public’s attention whenever you want it now.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You made an agreement long ago and were gung-ho to do it. Now the excitement wanes, but your commitment stands fast.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Make only empowering assumptions. Assume someone likes you, and treat that person as though they already have a friendship with you.

Today’s birthday (July 1): You’re headed for the top. There are always taller peaks to climb, but unless you stop and enjoy your current elevation, life will be filled with struggle and strife. This month and September are best for career and finance. August brings a comfortable groove with loved ones. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 32, 19, 26 and 42.
