Horoscope: July 1

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Stop your planning - the season to celebrate is this one! This is the one that will bring you the most joy, and not because you planned for it, but because you are bringing your awareness to it now, and now, and now.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Hunger leads to poor choices and irritability. It diminishes your wells of willpower and compassion and makes it difficult for you to be your best self. Plan ahead to avoid hunger.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you would be hard-pressed to say why certain relationships are perfect for your life right now, you generally believe that there is a reason for everything and that you have never met anyone by accident.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Many equate worry with love. However, it doesn't make you feel any more loved to know that someone worries about you. Realizing this, you may stop worrying about someone else.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Speak up even if you suspect you will have no influence at this time. Making the effort to be heard is important for your self-esteem.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It makes no sense to apologize for another person's behavior; however, you might be tempted to do so anyway. Consider that you might be enabling someone's bad behavior with overly diplomatic tactics.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don't have to give fast answers, and it's in fact unlucky to do so. Resist anyone who tries to pressure you to act quickly. Assert your right to think things over.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Exciting developments in your personal life are the direct result of all the intense focus you've been giving to your wishes. Your mind and heart are already filled with the contentment of destiny's child.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If there's an out-of-the-ordinary channel that you could use to communicate with your love, it's strongly recommended now. A Post-it note or a message in a bottle, a wink or a whispered secret - it will build the bond.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have put your time and effort into a thankless task, but you can trust that excitement, adventure, pleasure, relaxation - all that you feel you've been denied - will soon be forthcoming.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your love is strong as sunshine, and it stretches and permeates the environments you touch now. You will glide between worlds, giving your energy to the far corners.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You will have the distinct feeling that you are witnessing your own action. Who is this you who is watching you? Noticing that you are thinking has a way of making you think less.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 1). You will find deep contentment this year, but first comes the exhilaration of pushing yourself through a challenge. August brings an exciting accomplishment. September features tender moments and sweet affections. November and December are the most lucrative. Save up for a March investment. Aquarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 22, 15, 38 and 9.
