Horoscopes: Thursday, June 30, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What's making it work? What's holding it up? Your attention to the internal structure will be a theme today. Successful living has a lot to do with being true to the underlying principles.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The thing about good timing is that often if you pause to consider it, that pause messes up the rhythm. So don't think. Just fall into the groove.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What is it about that person in your life who always seems to need the kind of help that has you suddenly snagged into the vortex of his or her world? Such people will try to ensnare you in their personal conundrums today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The best persuasion is barely felt, as soft and consistent as water lapping the shore, carving the landscape. Much will be accomplished with soft words in a firm, confident tone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Clarity of mind will come when the stress is reduced and sense of freedom is expanded. Getting to that point will require you to be clear in communicating your boundaries and desires.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Good sense tells you when to resist a natural attraction and when to yield to it, as resistance is both futile and a waste of energy. You might be surprised at how liberal that "good sense" is today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today's interaction has the potential to get confusing. Understand yourself first, what you're looking for, what you need, then turn that understanding outward.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You think you should be able to do your work in any state of mind. That's an unreasonable belief. Adjust your attitude and get into the right head space before you dive in.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Who most needs a miracle? When you focus on that person, your own thinking will become sharp, your purpose will become clear, your selflessness will make it comfortable to be you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). How long your current situation lasts matters less than what you do with your time. Whether you'll stay a day, a year, or a decade, the way you'll make a difference is by focusing on the moment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If your project is worthy of you, this will be one of your favorite days. Choose carefully. Don't bend to anyone who emotionally leans on or manipulates you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Try to create solidarity within the group. When you can successfully meld, if only with one person and for a moment, the group will bond, and the next three things that happen will be magic.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (June 30). Your heart is true, and you express it beautifully, to tender and enthusiastic reception. The best projects have humble beginnings, but take root quickly in July. The bare-bones way things start will be in stark contrast to the lavish way they end up in April 2017. Your involvement in a church or school will open you to good fortune in August. Capricorn and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 39, 30, and 44.
