Horoscope: July 5

Aries (March 21-April 19): You feel the pressure, but instead of feeling squeezed out, you interpret the sensation as a push in the right direction.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): While the sun is up, you’ll convey the appropriate sense of seriousness in all you do. When the sun goes down, it takes your seriousness with it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You are emotionally fluid now, moving through different states without getting hung up for too long on any one feeling. And the day offers a sufficient variety of stimuli.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ve heard the old adage that you should dress for the job you want, not the job you have. You won’t go wrong following this advice now.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Some people are takers. Their mentality may be hard for you to understand, but it is necessary to the world balance. Stay aware.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Feedback is a gift, although, unfortunately, not the kind that can be exchanged for something you like better.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You should not feel guilty for spending money to look your best. When you feel good about your image, you’ll make a lasting impression.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You give the impression of being much younger than you are, which can be a good thing. However, today a serious approach will be best.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You may notice something amiss in your social interaction with others, but it’s best not to apologize, complain or explain.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): A friend who comes into your living space will have interesting things to say about it. Look at your environment with fresh eyes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You will be feeling generous and will contribute more than you had planned to. You’ll walk away from the exchange feeling richer.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll get a chance to ask questions and will be careful not to probe too deep. You understand human frailty.

Today’s birthday (July 5): Your connection to nature will guide your August activities. September and October bring financial moves that will help you with your long-term goals. November is the most romantic month. Leo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 49, 24 and 11.
