Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 1, 2010: This year, you often discover a lot more by detaching and putting yourself in someone else’s shoes. If single, an exotic personality could intrigue you. If attached, you both gain through taking a workshop in a new hobby together or planning a trip. Pisces might be very different but intuitive.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • A great idea could jolt you out of bed. Reception to your ideas could be better later, though you might try out this concept on one person whom you trust.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • • Knowing what you want is the first step in getting it, should this desire appear. A brainstorming session provides many new paths to the same end result.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • Your inclination to understand might derail certain key leadership traits you have. Sometimes the hows and whys simply don’t make any difference, no matter how you look at a situation.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Your smile draws others. You could defuse a volatile situation if you so choose. Still, stay focused and tuned in, as you are accident-prone in some way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • A partner attempts to make inroads. Possibly, someone feels as if you have closed him or her off. This person’s attempt to open up communication could cause a lot of anger if it backfires.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • • Often it is difficult to understand what motivates others. Know that you are not calling the shots. You could find a situation complex at best, and at other times clear as a bell.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • Keep your eye on the big picture and what you want to accomplish. Could you be just plain exhausted or too tired to deal with a situation? Understanding will evolve if you listen and don’t judge.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • • Your creativity emerges when you are open to new ideas. A friend or associate could come barreling in with ideas that might be overwhelming. Work with these concepts.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • Don’t venture out too far. You discover that many people are in what one might call “a sour mood.” You might have an answer to a situation, or feel pushed to the max.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • • Your ideas, words and even calls could be met with strange reactions. It is as if people are itching for a fight or a discussion.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • Sometimes others simply don’t want to hear an alternate point of view. Work as much on your own as possible in order to avoid an unnecessary conflict.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • Clearly, you know what you are doing, but one might be substantially less sure about those in your immediate environment.
