For Thursday, July 9:

This year, you discover just how much you make a difference, whether dealing with an individual and/or those you encounter in everyday life. You are letting go of a heavy period, and by Christmas, you could be all smiles. During this time frame and later, you could meet your next sweetie through someone you have been deep friends with or someone who has been enormously significant in your life. If you are attached, this year the two of you will connect on a deeper level. Aquarius helps you understand what up till now has been inexplicable.

••••• Relate to the person involved in each issue. You could be surprised by what goes on if you relax. Tonight: Make it cozy.
