Horoscopes for Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Don't let sudden shifts in conditions or unusual alterations catch you off guard in the year ahead, because they could prove to be lucky, especially on the career front. Be prepared to go with the flow of events no matter how unexpected.



CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Try not to take recreational activities too seriously, because there's a good chance you could make a mountain out of a molehill, especially if your ego gets wounded over losing a silly game.



LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Honestly appraise your chances for success without going to the opposite extreme and thinking negatively about your hopes and dreams. If you're prepared to work hard, anything is possible.



VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Don't let a poor attitude impede your progress for success. There's a good chance you could be the one who puts obstacles in your own path.



LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Trying to force change prematurely would be like trying to drive square pegs into round holes. The harder you push, the greater the degree of resistance you are likely to encounter.



SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Who gets the credit isn't always the most important thing. If a companion or co-worker has a better idea about handling a job, be supportive and help him or her to pull it off.



SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- When involved in something you don't fully understand, be careful not to let your ego get in the way of seeking assistance, even if it comes from someone you dislike.



CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Others will be supportive of your efforts as long as you're not dictatorial and you keep everything light and breezy. The moment you attempt to pressure people into compliance, you'll lose their help.



AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Don't try to force unnecessary changes in order to hurry things along. Instead, let events dictate the courses they take.



PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Iron out all the details in advance before making any commitments. By doing so, you will avoid unexpected and unplanned conditions that might cause you to regret giving your word.



ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- When it comes to handling significant financial situations, it's extremely important that whoever handles them totally understands your needs, or they could really botch things up.



TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- If today's activities aren't likely to appeal to your mate, consider his or her feelings before finalizing your plans. Don't let recreational differences hurt your relationship.



GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Those in the military have a saying: "Never volunteer for anything." It might be wise to follow this axiom so that you don't get caught up in something you'll greatly regret.
