Daily Horoscope for Friday, July 2, 2004

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today. (It is Full Moon in Capricorn at 7:09 am EDT.)

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's a difficult to juggle the responsibilities of home and family with the responsibilities of your job and your career today. Nevertheless, it's important that you focus on your domestic scene right now because three other planets dictate this.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might be intent on convincing someone to agree with your point of view about something. This is a poor day to try to make a stand on any issue, especially religious and political matters. Best to take a step back. Don't be pushy with publishing and education either.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Financial issues are aggravated by today's Full Moon. (If money is the root of all evil you've decided you want to find your roots.) Don't be aggressive at work or in matters related to cash flow (buying and selling.) Just see which way the wind blows before you act.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today's Full Moon can aggravate close friendships and partnerships. Today is not the day to try to get somebody to agree with you about anything important. A natural "opposition" exists in all your dealings with others. Wouldn't it be better to wait a few days? (Ya think?)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might not understand what motivates you today. Today's Full Moon could stir up hidden stuff, possibly from your childhood. This in turn, might trigger knee-jerk reactions to things other people say or do. Unfortunately, these reactions could be completely inappropriate.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might feel a friend is attacking you or being difficult. Possibly, somebody thinks this about you. A gentle approach to all your dealings with others, especially groups, is best way to handle today's Full Moon. "Do not like; do not dislike. All will then be clear." (At least now and Zen.)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Domestic matters or a family member interrupt you just when you need to put all your attention on career matters and things that affect your public reputation. Do your best to juggle this; nevertheless, you cannot ignore career, bosses and parental discussions. Oy vay.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Be careful driving and walking today. Today's Full Moon could produce an accident-prone situation for your sign. Focus on what you're doing and saying at all times. Don't try to prove anything with anybody -- it's not worth it. Just listen to what others have to say.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Today represents a culmination of something for you. It's hard to recognize or even understand how people could have values so different from your own. But that's what they think about you as well. (Don't fall into the trap of thinking people are basically like you.) Not so.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Don't try to please others today. And don't make them agree with you either. Today's Full Moon tends to pit you against someone, but you don't have to act this out. Why not adopt the mature attitude of "live and let live?" It's easier for all concerned, especially you.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You'll have to compromise and try to be cooperative with coworkers today at work. What choice do you have? Why not follow the advice of Dottie Archibald: "My husband and I have figured out a really good system about the housework: neither one of us does it."

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel someone is blocking you from doing your own thing. You want to express yourself freely. You want to have fun at every level -- creative, romantic and personal. Don't let someone rain on your parade. But be careful you don't step on somebody else's toes.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Singer Michelle Branch (1983) shares your birthday. You easily feel responsible for others. You want to help people, but sometimes you doubt your ability to do this. Ignore this. You're talented, imaginative and highly responsible. You've got what it takes. When you see this, nothing will hold you back. Fun, social activities and committed relationships bring you joy in the year ahead.
