Georgia Nicols horoscopes for July 3, 2016

Moon Alert

After 8:30 a.m. Chicago time, we have the all clear to shop and do business. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

This is an excellent day to entertain at home because your focus on home and family is strong. Discuss home repairs or redecorating projects, especially with a female family member. Real estate discussions might also be important.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Short trips, visits with relatives, busy errands and a fast-paced day will please you. You’re in the mood to talk to others and share ideas. In turn, others are happy to see your face. This is a particularly imaginative day for you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Veni vidi Visa: We came, we saw, we went shopping. But you might be tempted to spend too much on luxury and elegance. If you’ve got the dough, who cares? But if this is a case of champagne tastes on a beer wallet — beware. It’s fun to dream but, when your payments are due, it’s a nightmare.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You fuss and care for others. Today is a classic example because you feel sympathetic for those who are less fortunate, especially in a distant country. If you can help, then do so. You will only be helping yourself because what goes around comes around.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Solitude in beautiful surroundings, meditation or yoga are some ways you will enjoy spending this day. Respect your need for peace and quiet. Do something to replenish and restore your inner energy because this will make you feel better.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Whether someone has a sob story is not the point because you are primed to help someone who is less fortunate today. This person might be a friend or a member of a group. Alternatively, you might lend your efforts to a charitable group to help others.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a good day to ponder your life direction in general. Despite the details you want to map out for yourself, remember the purpose of life is to be happy. Therefore, if you can be content and happy with less, you’re halfway there!

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Your idealism is aroused today along with your appreciation of beauty, which makes this the perfect day to visit parks, art galleries, museums or pristine nature. You will enjoy lofty discussions about philosophy, metaphysics or the latest episode of Family Guy.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Because you have a genuine concern for someone who is less fortunate, you might figure ways to use the resources of others to help. This is a good day to do fundraising. If you have a discussion about dividing or sharing something, make sure you defend your own best interests.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

A conversation with someone close to you will be inspired by higher values today. You might want this person to help you or, vice versa, you might want to help them. Whatever the case, feelings of mutual sympathy will create a warm bond with someone.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Someone at work might come to you with a problem today because you will be a sympathetic listener or have good advice. Possibly the role is reversed and you are seeking out advice? Either way, this is a good day to explore these kinds of discussions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Because you’re in touch with your muse today, this is a great day to express your creativity. You will also enjoy the creativity of others, which is why the arts, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry will appeal. Enjoy sports events and playful times with children.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actor Tom Cruise (1962) shares your birthday today. Trust and honesty matter to you. Your apparent cynicism is often a mask for great sensitivity. You are philosophical and interested in the development of the mind. A new nine-year cycle is beginning for you. This opens up many possibilities. You might start a new business activity or change residences. Open any door because your future is in your hands.
