Your daily horoscope: July 1, 2024

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Don’t withdraw from the world and retreat into your shell. The message of your birthday chart is that the more you get out and about and get involved both personally and professionally the more of an impact you will make, and the happier you will be.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

You need to get your act together quickly, because there is a danger that you will be too laidback in your attitude and miss out on opportunities that are perfect for you. There is still plenty of time to do something amazing – or even several somethings!

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

It may look as if you are in a state of hibernation at the moment but just because you are not active in a visible sense does not mean your brain is not working. On the contrary, your mind will be on the go every single second today.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

The pace of life may be hectic now but you have what it takes to stay ahead of the game. Your enthusiasm for one project in particular can take you to new heights of accomplishment over the coming week. Settle for nothing less than total success.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Don’t just sit back and wait for life to bring good stuff your way – get out there in the world and make it happen! The approaching new moon will bring opportunities that most people hardly dare dream about, but for you they are there for the taking.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You will have to juggle several tasks at once as the new week begins but that won’t worry you in the slightest, in fact you will enjoy the challenge. Your self-belief is such that the thought of failure won’t enter your head for a single moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you know what you want there is no doubt at all that you can find a way to get it. Keep reminding yourself of that fact over the next few days and don’t be surprised when what you get is even more fantastic than you had hoped for.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

Go out of your way to be nice to people today, because the more you give of yourself now the more the universe will give back to you around the time of Friday’s new moon. Being agreeable is not only good manners, it’s good business too.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

If a colleague suggests that you work together on something that you suspect may not be entirely legitimate then you must be mentally and morally strong enough to say “no thank you”. You don’t need to break the rules to be a success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

You may think you don’t have enough money in the bank to do everything you want to do today but is that true or are you looking for excuses? Forget about how much your activities may cost and just go for them. You’ll find ways to pay.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

The more someone tries to persuade you to tone down your ambitions the more obvious it will be that you are doing the right thing. The only reason they are trying to hold you back is because they fear your efforts will outshine their own – and they will!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

Why are you trying so hard to live up to the expectations that other people have of you? Why put yourself under that sort of strain? The planets urge you to be your own person and do your own thing every minute of every day. Ignore everyone else.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

Good fortune is heading your way and if it hasn’t arrived by the time the moon is new on Friday then your parents must have forgotten your correct date of birth. Be positive in thought and decisive in action and you WILL experience some kind of magic.
