Horoscope for July 4, 2010

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

••••• Someone or a situation could trip you up. Clearly you are not happy, but what you do or how you deal with this interference defines you. Look to a child or loved one for a good time and a reason to smile. Tonight: Adding to the fireworks.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•• Understand that we all need to back down sometimes. Right now you simply might need some space and distance from what is going on. You will gain a far better perspective if you get it. Tonight: Continue the vanishing act.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• Forget the thought of being the recluse. Forget getting caught up in paperwork. Find other gregarious people and go to a ballgame, or just share over a lengthy meal. An after-movie chat over a hamburger works, too. Tonight: Live for now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••• You could be more pressured than you realize by a situation. This is a question of your perspective. An older friend or relative clearly wants your time. Do as much as you can without resorting to sarcasm or frustration. Tonight: Wherever you are, expect to be noticed.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••••• Stretch in order to identify with another person; otherwise, you might never see eye to eye. This person could demand a lot, but if you understood where this need is coming from, it might be OK. Your good will and nature always shine through. Tonight: Listen to great music.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

••••• Work with a partner, though you might be stunned by what is coming down the path. You might want to review a situation or think it through with this person. You often have very different ideas and styles. Tonight: Make togetherness the theme.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• Defer to another person, and try to understand what motivates him or her. You might find that deep down you are very similar or have issues in common. A get-together with friends proves to be eventful. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• You might want to rethink a decision, with new information coming forward. An important event or happening turns out even better than you expected. Enjoy visiting and meeting new people. Tonight: Make it early.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••••• Wake up and be more spontaneous, more childlike. Once in a while, tossing away all of life’s heavies does make a difference. Once you allow your inner child out, others seem to respond in kind. An invitation from a distance will be hard to say “no” to. Tonight: Forget tomorrow. Live today.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••• Stay close to home if you want to. There is no rule saying you must go off and do this or that. Make yourself comfortable with the Sunday paper, or curl up with a good book. If you want to take a walk or meet up with a friend, do. This is your day, too. Tonight: Allow another person to dote on you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• You might have a lot more to say than you thought. A friend might have a difficult time getting a word in. Listen to a different perspective. A key loved one lets you know how cared for you are. Spend more time with this person. Tonight: The only answer is yes.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

••• Be aware of the costs of a decision. You might not have all the answers just yet, but keep listening, thinking and asking questions. Someone you enjoy being around adds to the specialness of the day. Accept an invitation to a local spot. Tonight: Splurge on dessert.
