Cosmic Story Elements

A lunar square, a solar trine and a juicy opposition give this day everything it needs to be its own little drama. The tension, the interesting characters, the high stakes, the odd twist — it’s all there waiting for someone with “main character energy” to step in and be the star. Whether you want to step into the spotlight or watch it from the audience is up to you — it will be fun either way.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The way you operate in the world brings cheer to all. You slip into the sort of mood that is sure to lead to uplifting conversations, playful interactions and extremely satisfying exchanges.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re looking for a respectable game and your sportsmanship is on point. This applies to relationships as well, especially romantic ones. You prefer not to think of love as a game, but you must admit there are more and less effective ways to play it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You will collaborate very well with someone with complementary skills, strengths and weaknesses, too. Learning to depend on others will be part of this, or more likely learning (SET ITAL) who (END ITAL) you can depend on and weeding out the flakey ones.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Self-consciousness is an invisible weight pressing on your mind. But you are not the best one to observe how you appear and act. This is why a camera needs distance from its subject. Greater distance means more of the subject can get into the frame.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Because you set your own limits and live within them, your success will be sweet, swift and honorable. Even so, it can take some time to figure out exactly which actions and rhythms are sustainable.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your life is not a solitary journey but an adventure you share with countless others, some of whom you’ll never meet. Understanding that you belong to something larger and are part of a complex, interconnected web of relationships will be profoundly liberating.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s said that attitude is everything, and it will be proven today when your mindset and approach to a problem will make all the difference in the outcome. What you do for your body and mind will contribute to your attitude.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know that relationships are give-and-take, but you really don’t feel like taking. Of course, you’ll only be able to give until the supply runs out. So if you want to keep giving, you have to take, too!

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Whether you feel proud of the past or you have some less comfortable feeling about it, there’s one thing that it is — over. So there’s no reason to let your opinion about it color what’s going on today, unless you enjoy those colors.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be even more observant than usual, and this will be key to the new systems and circumstances you’ll create going forward. You’ll gain an understanding of something you missed before. It’s easier to solve problems when you have a fuller context.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Your keen instinct will bring you good luck. Sometimes, it will keep you from being impulsive, and other times, it will have you making the move before you’re conscious of it, which is the very essence of impulsiveness. Either way, you can trust it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When words and emotions are withheld, they act like logs jammed in a river, causing blockages and turbulence. You’ll speak your feelings and it removes obstructions, restoring a peaceful sense of flow to the scene.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 10). A year that enriches your life with transformative experiences. A long-running pattern will come to a fitting conclusion. What drops into its place will be vibrant; feelings of greater health and vitality accompany the change. More highlights: an adorable pet, a fascinating study that brings you chances to speak, publish and advance, and laughter-filled gatherings. Capricorn and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 39, 2, 41 and 20.
