Horoscopes: Monday, July 10, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The ups and downs of life are best shared. True friends connect in either stage. You know you’re around good, safe, empathetic people when you don’t feel you must pretend to be higher or lower than you really feel.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When what you want to do and what you have to do are the same thing, success comes very quickly to you. Today brings such good fortune. Do the work, rinse, repeat and grow rich.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Who is really free? It’s not always obvious. The so-called powerful often feel more trapped in their roles than those without status. You’ll be aware of the restrictions limiting your options. Think of new ways to get around them.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re different in ways that will elevate the scene — believe it. Get on your own side, be your own fan and don’t bother trying to fit in. All the problems are opportunities today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There’s no time to waste envying those who have advantages. Status is not worth chasing. The only thing that matters is the integrity of the work at hand. Dedication and commitment fortify your character and take you all the way.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You weren’t looking for a prize, but you’ll get one anyway. In some manner, you have racked up enough points to claim a reward. A hobby, interest or relationship will pay off in unforeseen ways.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If, as Shakespeare suggested, all the world is a stage, today you’ll be more stagehand than star. Setting the scene just right will bring you joy, inspiration and a profound sense of accomplishment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Don’t skip the formalities or cut corners with protocol or etiquette. There is no better way to convey respect than politeness, which is the glue holding together transactions, relationships and so much more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your willingness to experiment is a gift. Some you take on even though you have little to no faith they will work. There’s joy and learning in taking the big swings. And when they do connect, life gets very exciting.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Certain social interactions are unavoidable. When you must interact with people you don’t prefer, involve others. Everyone will behave better in small groups today and will keep one another in check.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Friends know you as a certain person with a particular job, habits and lifestyle. It might be difficult for them to see you as someone new, so do what it takes to keep yourself motivated and on track to your goal.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You are extremely important to your team and will love the power surge that comes from giving yourself over to the group to become a part of something much bigger than the sum of its parts.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 10). Three major events give this year spectacular pops of excitement. So, while this trip around the sun will often bring you more room to stretch, a slower pace and a peaceful, easy feeling, even the calmest moment will have tinges of vibrancy and anticipation. More highlights: your team comes out on top, new additions to your group and a fun, health enhancing program. Gemini and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 6, 4, 38 and 27.
