Horoscope: July 9

Aries (March 21-April 19): Do not confuse “pride” with “self-esteem.” When you’re sure of yourself, you have nothing to prove.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): A project is bigger than what you can accomplish alone in your time frame. Solicit help from those around you, and everyone wins.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You may not know what to make of today’s findings, and it will be very interesting to call in an expert.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): There’s a diverse group of minds around you. That’s what will make the conversation so interesting.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your personal touch will boost the morale of the people around you.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): A job may be easy for you in theory, but a million unpredictable elements could take it in any number of directions. Be careful not to claim too much.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Being at the top comes at a price. Someone always comes along to replace the one in the top position. Recognize that change is a constant, and do your best.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Accept help judiciously. The help of one person will make life easier, but another will overcomplicate things.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You thank people and give them credit. Your appreciation means more to them than money.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll have the opportunity to demonstrate your might and would be wise to consider very carefully whether this chance should be seized.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Someone makes a positive association involving you. This is no accidental happening, since you make an effort to surround yourself with beauty and pleasantness.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Someone will attempt a gesture of kindness toward you. But this person may not know you well enough to make you smile.

Today’s birthday (July 9): You’ll accept a high honor this year. The next six weeks will smile on your love life. Your leadership will be key to a victory for your group in August. September is for restructuring to align with long-term goals. There’s a family reunion in October. Expect health and financial progress in December. Capricorn and Aquarius people adore you. Lucky numbers are 24, 10, 5, 44 and 18.
