Horoscopes

For Friday, July 6

Those with birthdays today: You make a difference this year. You might not react as strongly as in the past when events or conversations don’t go in the direction you would like. Often you question your choices, the hows and whys. Give this up, as you can only go forward. When someone challenges you, don’t take it personally. If you are single, a new relationship blooms close to your next birthday. This person might cause a transformation in your life. If you are attached, spend quality time together. When out, you might find yourselves more argumentative. Work on accepting each other more. ARIES pushes you to accept the limelight.

Taking some downtime might be the best choice. You have put in more effort than many. In the process, you might have seen a different character of those in your immediate circle. Tonight: Take a personal night.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Inclination meets thought. You can hit a home run if you follow your sixth sense. Handle money with care, as you could do some damage to yourself. Do think about the long term. Tonight: Aim for what you want.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Be willing to walk your talk. You’ll get results. Understand others’ expectations, but follow your chosen path. Live life for yourself rather than other people. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your mind has the ability to understand and wrap itself around many different concepts. The problem might be someone’s defensiveness. Don’t take comments or actions personally. Tonight: Take off.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Work with individuals and try new experiences. You don’t need to agree with many people. You do need to understand their ideas. Let someone really reveal him- or herself, and hold back judgment. Tonight: Be a duo if possible.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Deferring doesn’t mean you are a yes man or woman. It means you are allowing someone the opportunity to express his or her uniqueness. Tonight: Decide who, what and where.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You are all smiles with others, but somehow the best of efforts get waylaid. Perhaps being you for you might be the best way. Others’ moods need not influence you. Enjoy. Tonight: Above all, make it easy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Your ability to embrace others no matter how they act emerges. Just the same, you will not do well dealing with contrary people, as you might feel surrounded by a gang of them. Don’t light any fuses. Please. Tonight: Live it up.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might wonder why you are doing various different things spontaneously. Dealing with someone who is around you a lot could cause a great deal of tension. Center rather than react. Tonight: Happy close to home.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Speak your mind, and others will listen. Make that first effort. Let others know that you care. How you deal with someone could actually have long-term ramifications. You might need to change plans. Do it. Tonight: Hang out.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* Any risk is a bad risk right now. Understand why you might want to take a stab at the unknown. If bored, find a good book or go to the movies. Curb any self-destructive behavior quickly. Tonight: Fun doesn’t have to cost.
