Your Daily Horoscope for Wednesday, July 4
Aries
March 21- April 19
Your usual passion may be dimmed today, but that doesn't mean it's gone altogether. Your hidden fires are still flaring within you. Energy roils just under your surface. Of course, this may be less exciting than it sounds. Without the right fuel, nothing much will heat up but your imagination. But you don't have to let your fire get doused. Work on finding the right combination of water and fire.
Taurus
April 20-May 20
You're more sensitive now than usual to psychic climate changes. Enjoy this extra awareness. Among other things, it helps you connect more deeply to folks you're close to. In fact, this is a perfect day for getting together with the people you love best. You'll lend them support without asking for anything in return. Perhaps this is easy for you because you feel so secure at the moment. Hold on to this feeling.
Gemini
May 21-June 21
Focus? What's that? Currently, it's a figment of your imagination, or a state of mind that you just can't seem to attain. But this isn't the worst thing that could happen, so don't let it get you down. Sure, you might be a scatterbrain today, but hey -- nobody's perfect. Even if your ideas seem a little too wild now, jot them down. It costs you nothing, and some of them will make sense later.
Cancer
June 22-July 22
You've hit a soft spot -- the opposite of a rough patch on this road of life. You have enough energy to do what you need to do, but a little relaxation is in order, too. Your creativity is humming. You like these tranquil valleys that come between life's thrilling peaks. You're perfectly happy to let others climb ahead of you today. Stay right where you are, enjoying this brief lull.
Leo
July 23-August 22
You might feel a bit disoriented today, but don't worry -- you're still as smart as ever. That's the value of being a dramatist at heart: You, of all people, can naturally take on any role you need in order to achieve what you want. So it doesn't matter that mentally, you're not all there. Your game face is good for another day. Other people are laughing with you, not at you.
Virgo
August 23-September 22
You're quite the sensitive soul today, aren't you? Maybe even a little oversensitive. Do be aware that what you're getting back from others mirrors what you're putting out. If you feel you aren't being treated with the courtesy you deserve, it may be time to take an honest look at your own behaviour and agenda. Whatever you're trying to achieve now, it can only be helped by treating others with love and respect.
Libra
September 23-October 22
Protocol, manners and discretion are vital today. It's all about following the rules. You know the drill -- charm and diplomacy help you succeed, but aloof or arrogant behaviour will only hinder your progress. Do your best to promote good feelings between people, and nothing else will matter. There's a deeper meaning to your existence. Find it today, in relationships, nature or study -- whatever rings your bells!
Scorpio
October 23 – November 22
A creative project takes on new dimensions. You're feeling inspired, aren't you? Just wait -- your work could develop into something truly mind-blowing. This bone-shaking passion doesn't have to stay within the realm of art, either. This is a great time to dabble in a different kind of creativity altogether. If you're in love or lust, prepare to share some blissful sensations today. You're good at that.
Sagittarius
November 23-December 20
Passion drives you now. You're feeling the tension of something biting at your heels -- a deadline, maybe, or someone's heavy expectation. And you'll cut corners or do whatever works to make this happen. Thinking on your feet is a good thing, except when it's motivated by pure anxiety. If you insist on moving forward on some project or other endeavour now, watch out for pitfalls. Focus on the goal -- not to mention the path.
Capricorn
December 21-January 19
Security, caution and trust are important issues in your life. It can be difficult for you to move forward when you don't know where you're heading. But now you can forget old worries as you launch something new. Of course, it's still a good idea to trust -- but also verify, if you must. Even though you're among friends, being security-conscious is just smart thinking. How else would you have gotten where you are today?
Aquarius
January 20-February 18
For someone who is normally pretty self-assured, today you feel remarkably flexible. The edges of your life aren't as sharply defined as usual. Boundaries fade. What used to seem perfectly clear is now murky. Even old loyalties seem questionable -- something you never thought would happen. Was this change inevitable? Only time can answer that with certainty. But of course, the only constant is change itself. Ride this out until things become clearer once again.
Pisces
February 19-March 20
You're operating on instinct, which is great, since your intuition is humming. It's one of your greatest strengths and tools, and now you have an opportunity to use it. Your more subtle senses can be used to improve someone's life in a truly meaningful way. Of course, you could also simply enjoy the day. But focusing and guiding this gift of heightened emotion to help someone could lead to something great in your future.
