Aries (March 21-April 19): For what you’re trying to accomplish, what counts most is consistency. The spurts of brilliance and bursts of progress will come when you follow through.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You encounter those who seem to be in line with your thinking, but assume nothing. It’s more likely that your values and priorities are not alike. Communication is key to satisfaction.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Unlike most things in life, your leisure activity should not be a compromise. It’s all about you. Let yourself have one of those indulgences you so enjoy.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You need space and free time to yourself. Therefore it’s better to avoid multiple social commitments. Relax and linger wherever your heart leads you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your thoughts add up. Think of them as pigments of paint. When you add a drop of dark color to your bright mix, it dulls the color. Keep your picture vivid with light, sunny thoughts.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Planning for your future security makes you feel safe and cozy. You get assistance with your plans too — not automated assistance, but the caring touch of an actual human.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’re savvy, smart and strong. So there’s no reason you can’t learn how to fix what needs fixing. Besides, being dependent on others undermines your confidence. Do it yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’re in a competitive mood, but the game that’s on now is who can be the most thoughtful and compassionate. So get serious about becoming the king or queen of kindness.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The rule for household appliances is if it’s shaking, it’s lost its balance. If the shaking one happens to be you, the same adage applies. To maintain your balance, hold your relaxation time sacred.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You are dynamic and can compensate for minor obstacles in your path. The adjustments you make are confirmations of your talent. It’s nice to remember what you’re so good at.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’re not out to control anyone, but you do feel the urge to do a little reshaping. Instead of trying to get your partner to behave in a certain way, embody the change you desire in yourself. The other will follow suit.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You like helping others. So it’s a treat to meet someone who gets the same thrill out of helping you. Your requests are fulfilled in record time.

Today’s birthday (July 5): Your birthday ushers in a new wave of energy — life improves, even in areas you don’t think need improving. The planets favor your vigilant and realistic approach to getting what you want. You discover a new talent and you could even change careers in November. Family fun in December involves travel. Gemini and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are 18, 4, 20, 1 and 34.
