Horoscopes: Sunday, July 2, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You know what you want to contribute, and you’ll be working out the details and manner in which you’ll deliver it. Style and tone are very important — maybe even more important than content.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Should you do it yourself or ask for help? Be strategic. Keep in mind, people often feel an affinity for those they help. This is especially true if the help was rather easy for them to give.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In the early stages of a situation, people figure out the lay of the land and their roles. Go thoughtfully here. Once defined, it’s not so easy to change the rules or claim a different position.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Imitation is the flattery that feels like an insult. What it really means is you’re doing something noteworthy. Someone will mimic you. This is an opportunity to see what you’re giving in a new light.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may be surprised at the energy focused on you. The eyes of others can feel like scrutiny. It’s better to assume everyone is merely curious. Self-awareness will help you succeed whereas self-consciousness will thwart success.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your sincere interest in a subject is contagious. Others who are around you will pick up on your enthusiasm and start to care as much as you do. Tonight, avoid tinkering with things that don’t need fixing. They could break!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Relationships have rules you agree to consciously and verbally, rules you agree to unconsciously and rules you don’t even know exist. You’ll now be made more aware of rules that fall into the second and third categories.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Do you dare showcase your unique qualities and expertise? By doing so, you could position yourself as an authority and inspiration. Sharing your story will create a sense of trust and credibility, enhancing your status in a chosen arena.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Even the most supportive familial relationships are not immune to conflict. The intricate web of relationships can sometimes lead to tension and emotional complexities. Expect and allow for diverse perspectives and the unique dynamics between each family member.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It feels like you are cramming for a test, hoping to retain what you need just long enough to do well when the moment is upon you. Does it help to know that this stress is only temporary?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Who you are is always changing, usually very slowly. But right now, the state of flux is obvious, and things are happening fast. Remind yourself often of what you want and orient yourself to that north star.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your mission is personal in nature. You want to know the true scope of what you can do so you can work in the scale most befitting of your abilities. You’re not performing for the applause, though the applause will come.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 2). You’ll take on rigors and build yourself into a role that’s long been your aim. You’ve a compelling way of expressing yourself that will captivate the attention and interest of others. Though the money may be good, the kinship of others is what makes your work joyful. More highlights: a funny new friend, philanthropy and a cash-out opportunity. Libra and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 5, 29 and 1.
