Your daily horoscope: July 4, 2024

 

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Your sense of adventure will be such over the coming year that if even a single day goes by without you doing something new you will be disappointed. The world is very much your playground now, so by all means go wild.

ARIES (March 21 - April 20):

Make sure that everyone you have dealings with knows what you expect of them over the next 48 hours. If you leave things vague they will take that as an invitation to do less than their fair share – and then blame it on you.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21):

Good news is coming your way and will arrive at your door either today, tomorrow or over the weekend. Communications of all kinds will go well for you now, so take the opportunity to let others know what you think and how you feel.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21):

There is a clear path to move up in the world but you seem reluctant to take it. Why is that? If it’s because you feel you don’t have the experience to make a success of a higher position you are wrong – you will grow into the job.

CANCER (June 22 - July 23):

Whatever inspires you the most in this world is what you must focus on now. Friends and colleagues may say you should instead be doing this or doing that but they are wrong. You will only be happy if you follow your heart.

LEO (July 24 - Aug. 23):

You must take responsibility not only for your own actions but for the actions of other people too. The approaching new moon will help everyone see what needs to be done but only you have the inner and outer strength to make it happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 - Sept. 23):

If you are clear in your own mind about the direction you want to be travelling then nothing and no one can stop you. The more friends and family members say they have doubts the more determined you must be to go the distance.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 - Oct. 23):

You may be worried that by following a certain course of action you will leave yourself open to your rivals getting on your case if it turns out wrong but that is a risk you must take. The time for doubts is long since past.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 - Nov. 22):

It would be nice if family members and friends could show some support for your latest endeavour but if they cannot then it’s no big deal. You have the drive and the determination to get it done with them or without them cheering you on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 - Dec. 21):

If you keep your eyes and ears open there is every chance you will come across a major money-making opportunity over the next few days. Tomorrow’s new moon will provide the circumstances that could enable you to get seriously rich.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 - Jan. 20):

The world is starting to look like a much brighter and friendlier place than it has been of late and the upcoming new moon will call forth events that remind you of all the good things in life you have to be thankful for.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 - Feb. 19):

No matter how passionate you may be about an idea of some kind you have to accept that not everyone sees it the same way as you – and some of them never will. You don’t need their support, just as they don’t need yours.

PISCES (Feb. 20 - Mar. 20):

The approaching new moon in your fellow water sign of Cancer makes this one of the best times of the year for creative activities. Whatever you find yourself getting passionate about just go for it. The universe is on your side.
