Horoscopes: Wednesday, July 1

ARIES: (March 21 to April 20)
You absorb negative comments and recall them later. The time to
settle scores is when emotions cool down and you can think
rationally. Not everyone has an axe to grind or ulterior motives.

TAURUS: (April 21 to May 21)
If you are a typical Taurus, the senses must be indulged. There is a
fine line between moderation and excess but generally speaking you
avoid crossing over. Pamper yourself as reward for effort today.

GEMINI: (May 22 to June 21)
You get your own way by fair means or foul. An ability to read the
play and other people provides a head start, although you must stop
short of blatant manipulation. Expect mixed results.

CANCER: (June 22 to July 23)
Now is the time to exploit your natural abilities. An alignment of
well-matched planets sees you using personal resources and reserves
of energy in positive ways. Build on successful outcomes as you go.

LEO: (July 24 to August 23)
Some soul-searching or a fresh start is needed. The answers you
currently seek probably lie within but bringing thoughts to mind
requires quiet reflection and letting go of the past. Embrace change
today.

VIRGO: (August 24 to September 23)
Despite demands on your time nothing is too much trouble. You are
loath to let the team down and willingly make sacrifices to achieve
successful results. Your strength of character is held in high
regard.

LIBRA: (September 24 to October 23)
You are not afraid to confront people who refuse to pull their
weight. Equality is your main aim and you decline to absolve those
trying to shirk responsibility. One-sided relationships seem a waste
of energy

SCORPIO: (October 24 to November 22)
If you are at odds with someone consider clearing the air. Bottled
up feelings are detrimental to the long-term health of a
relationship, so call it as you see it. Everyone admires honesty.

SAGITTARIUS: (November 23 to December 22)
Luck comes in many guises and while some are obvious others are not.
Dig below the surface to unearth those handy clues and uncover hidden
surprises. Fate is currently working in mysterious ways.

CAPRICORN: (December 23 to January 20)
Your fears are allayed and at the same time, support comes from
others. Progress is immediate, bringing a long-held goal almost
within grasp. You are a worthy opponent for anyone right now.

AQUARIUS: (January 21 to February 19)
Steel yourself against the onslaught of invitations. Your company
and counselling are in high demand at this time, although not
everyone has your best interests at heart. Decide who is genuine and
who is a fake.

PISCES: (February 20 to March 20)
What you seek may be right under your nose. Take stock of your
surroundings, relationships and business interests to see if the keys
of happiness lie there. Unfamiliar situations are not necessarily
more exciting.

YOUR DAY
Impulsive action is balanced by good judgment. It is best to focus
on the outcomes of issues rather than looking for instant
gratification or quick fixes. Interaction is conducted on a deeper
level.

YOUR BIRTHDAY
Offers and concepts are potentially life-changing. You believe that
by having a go there can be no cause for regret later. Smooth
transitions are achieved by accepting input from other people.
