Horoscope for Thursday, July 4, 2019

Moon Alert

We have the all clear to shop and do business. The moon is in Leo.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

An unexpected opportunity to a sports event or a social occasion might suddenly come your way. If so, act quickly because this window of opportunity is brief. Meanwhile, parents — do be extra vigilant because this is an accident-prone day for your kids.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Something unexpected might affect your home scene or your relationship with a female relative. Admittedly, things are a bit chaotic and hectic at home because of repairs, renovations, visiting guests or residential moves. Maintain your patience because if you remain calm, life will be easier for everyone — including you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is an accident-prone day for you. However, this same influence can also encourage brilliant, out-of-the-box thinking. You might come up with some creative, original ideas! You will likely meet new faces and see new places.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Keep an eye on your money because something unexpected might affect your assets. You might find money; you might lose money. Protect your belongings from theft, damage or loss. If shopping, keep your receipts. In other words, protect yourself from the unexpected. Be smart.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

The Moon is in your sign dancing with wild, wacky Uranus. This makes you feel independent! It also makes you want to seek out something unusual or unconventional because you want to try something new. You’re on a mission, but you’re not quite sure what it is. It’s fun but bewildering.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Admittedly, you might feel a bit irritable. The Moon is hiding in your chart, and it is at odds with unpredictable Uranus. In a way, you don’t know if you’re coming or going — that sort of thing. Don’t make a big deal about anything. Chill out.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

A female companion might surprise you. Or perhaps you will meet someone new who is unusual or avant-garde? Whatever the case, your interaction with someone will catch you up and make you think for a minute. You might be stunned or perplexed. Don’t be hasty in your response.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Bosses, parents and VIPs might say or do something that surprises you. If you feel that you are caught off guard, you might overreact, perhaps defensively. Don’t do this because you will lose control. Instead, take a deep breath and process everything. You’ll know what to do.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Travel opportunities might fall in your lap. Conversely, planned travel might be delayed, canceled or changed for some reason. This is because when it comes to travel and schooling, everything is a bit of a crapshoot. Easy does it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Double check details about banking, shared property, inheritances, wills and insurance issues because something unexpected might affect these areas. It could be good news — or not. Either way, don’t be caught asleep at the switch. Make an extra effort to know what’s happening. Follow your gut instincts.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Relations with those who are close to you — partners and close friends — will require a bit of finesse because you might feel annoyed. Someone might do something you least expect, and this catches you off guard, which might be irritating. Or perhaps even threatening. Stay frosty.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Your work routine will be interrupted. Computer crashes, equipment breakdowns, staff shortages or something unexpected will force you to adjust your routine. Be smart and allow yourself extra time so that you have wiggle room to cope with the unexpected.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress-photojournalist-sculptor Gina Lollobrigida (1927) shares your birthday. You are caring, loving and fond of family. You need to have harmony in your surroundings. This is a year of fast action, change and new opportunities! Expect to meet adventurous and stimulating situations. You will have chances to travel and expand your world plus learn new things. Embrace change. Let your personal freedom be your goal this year.
