Your daily horoscope: July 9, 2024

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Someone you are close to emotionally must be allowed to spread their wings and soar. Although Cancer is a wonderfully nurturing sign you can be a bit clingy at times. Give them space to be themselves and they will love you even more.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

You need to accept the fact that different people have different outlooks on life and won’t always see things the same way as you. There is room in the world for all shades of opinion, so try embracing your differences. Learn from each other.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

If you go out of your way to be sociable today other people will respond in kind and even entrust you with information you can make use of. That won’t be your motivation, of course, but there’s no law against benefiting from what you hear.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Money matters seem to be causing you some concern at the moment but are your cashflow problems real or are they illusions created by your fertile imagination? Most likely it’s the latter, so stop worrying and let fate take its course.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

This is a special time of year and you certainly feel special but don’t think you can do as you please and get away with it. Experience should have taught you that when you feel strongest is often when you are at your most vulnerable.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Why are you continually looking over your shoulder as if something nasty is creeping up on you? The sun in the most sensitive area of your chart can at times be hard to deal with but don’t make it even harder by being overly fearful.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

Don’t just accept what a so-called expert tells you today – check each and every fact and figure and then check them again to be on the safe side. By the time you have finished you will probably be more of an expert than they are.

Missed one of your horoscopes? Here are the most recent days’ forecasts:

Make sure that your employer and other important people in your working sphere know who you are and what you can do. It doesn’t matter how good you may be at your job you will only get noticed if you push your face to the front.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

Whatever kind of news comes your way today, be it good, bad or indifferent, you must not go overboard about it. Yes, of course, you need to be aware of what other people are doing but what you are doing matters a thousand times more.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

Try not to be obsessive about issues that are important to you but which you know you cannot alter. The world is what it is and isn’t about to change just because you don’t like parts of it. Look to your own needs over the next 24 hours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Fun and romance may be high on your agenda at the moment but that does not mean you can ignore what is going on elsewhere in your environment. Why is a colleague so moody and withdrawn? Find out and help them get over it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Matters of the head and matters of the heart will draw you in different directions today but you can and you must deal with them all. You need to get organized though – just taking events as they come will likely be a recipe for disaster.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

Get unstuck from your rut and do something dramatic. You may be content to sit back and watch the passing parade – and there is certainly plenty in the parade to laugh at – but at this time of year you should be taking part, maybe even leading.
