If Your Birthday is July 6
(The Day of Magnetic Desire) | Cancer Birthday Reading | All Other Signs
You will have many exciting financial opportunities this year, though you must respect your own talent. At the same time, you would be well-advised to shift any initial discussion away from money and keep the focus on your mission and purpose, and how you may serve others. Money is not the only measure of value, and it's certainly not the first.

Written in the Planets
Today Vesta draws up conjunct the North Node. This aspect will still be in place during the forthcoming July 9 Full Moon, and is most likely a clear signal to line up with your most important and cherished goals and head straight down the middle of the path. It's clear that as a species we need to grow up fast. You can begin that process as an individual, by resolving to focus on the work you were born to do and to keep the more enervating distractions to a minimum. The first step is understanding who you truly want to be.

Aries (March 20-April 19) -- Most people walk around telling themselves they're not creative, or that they have no talent. This is merely repeating what they were conditioned to believe when they were younger. Anyone who has developed their creative gifts has overcome this belief -- and now you can too.

Taurus (April 19-May 20) -- If you think people have issues around sex and relationships, they pale in comparison to their issues around money. And those almost always come back to abject lack of self-worth. For you, anyway, there's a direct relationship between self-esteem and cash flow. Take that out for a ride.

Gemini (May 20-June 21) -- With every word you speak, you announce who you are. Sometimes it's necessary to be confrontational. Sometimes you must stand up for yourself, and at others, blend in with the crowd. Sometimes it's necessary to be on the peace and love vibe all day long -- as in right now.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) -- Take any opportunity to establish your worth. This is done mostly by showing, and somewhat by telling. The proper ratio is about nine to one: a lot of demonstrating, and very little explaining. Then be grateful that you're the kind of person who actually cares, and keep up the good work.

Leo (July 22-Aug. 23) -- Mercury is a small planet but a giant concept: the power of the mind that lights up the whole world. Today Mercury is reminding you it's time to live up to your full intelligence. That means hearing the wisdom of your feelings as well as your thoughts, preferably in that order.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) -- You must find a healthy outlet for any emotional frustrations you feel today, and not take them out on the wrong person. Be particularly careful among family members and housemates, and at work. Confide in a close friend and let off some pressure. Everyone will benefit if you do.

Libra (Sep. 22-Oct. 23) -- There's a distinct social charm in the air for you, and you'll have a good time if you get out of the house. What you need is social contact, not social media; friends and not Facebook friends. You need to feel valued, and that's only going to happen in actual human situations.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 22) -- If you want to be in charge, or if you need to take charge for some reason, you must focus on others rather than on yourself. Remember that: devote your attention to the people you need to serve you in some way. Feeling acknowledged, they are much likelier to cooperate.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 22) -- You can choose to feed the darker angels of your nature, or the lighter ones. It's a decision that you make with each passing thought. Everyone has both aspects to their nature; your decisions and how you direct your attention will determine who you are, and who you become.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20) -- Be aware of your motives today. It's possible you could be tapping into some less-than-savory driving forces, and only you have the ability to raise your awareness and bring things to a more loving level. Notice when guilt or anger is present in your mind, and choose something else.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will probably be protected if you get yourself into an unnecessary controversy today, but you don't need either. Do your part to be helpful and to keep the peace. This might take some extra self-awareness, but you can motivate yourself thinking about all the time and energy you'll save.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Be careful when dealing with government or corporate forces today. You can have the upper hand; but you'll need to be clever about it, and not let on your real feelings. Be positive, optimistic, and take a light touch. Never make things personal; that's a mistake for others to make.
