For Monday, July 3

Those with birthdays today: You have more insight and direction than many realize. You don’t need to let everyone know just how on you are; in fact, sometimes playing dumb might be the best course. Others want and need to feel secure. You don’t need to defer, but you can help others build their sense of well-being. If you are single, you will want to share your life. You are likely to meet that someone this year. A case of the butterflies is heading your way. If you are attached, you will want to snuggle in even more than in the past. LIBRA can anchor you.

Your creativity and energy emerge when dealing with loved ones or children, or when just having a good time. A romance could heat up a lot more than you think. Tonight: Playful and celebratory.

You energize as you head in a new direction. Think positively about what needs to happen. Relax and enjoy yourself. You might opt to have the celebration close to home. Tonight: Allow more caring into your life.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Make an extra effort to draw others out. You are a gregarious and caring sign. Don’t worry about what you hear. Complete calls and errands early so you can dance in the Fourth of July. Tonight: Where the party is.

Curb a tendency to be extravagant. You have a lot more going on than you might want to acknowledge. Listen to a family member whom you sometimes think of as off the wall. Tonight: Indulge in fun without spending.

You will smile and make a difference wherever you go. A project or two might take longer than you expected, or perhaps you would like to skip through a meeting more quickly. Tonight: All smiles.

You are all smiles and take the lead in the celebrations that are about to happen. No one knows how to make a happening occur like you. Bring friends and loved ones together. Tonight: Zoom in.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Others want you to take a stronger role in what goes on. Of course, ultimately, this is your call. You don’t have to comment on anything you don’t want to. People might not realize the toll their demands take on you. Tonight: In the limelight.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

If you can, hop in the car and take off. Otherwise, you might want to call someone at a distance and share some holiday news or plans. You might use this holiday in an unconventional manner. Tonight: Note what isn’t being discussed.

Work with individuals. Schedule time for a special person tonight, even if you are going to a party. You can always share a word or two on a walk or during a quiet moment. Happiness ensues. Tonight: Intensify the moment.
