Your daily horoscope: July 12

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Whatever you do in the next 12 months, make sure it’s something you can be proud of. If you keep your standards high, you will not only achieve great things, but you will also become a living example of excellence for so many other people.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

With the sun and Mercury moving through one of the more sensitive areas of your chart, you’d be wise not to take what other people say too seriously. The approaching full moon will also increase the chances of misunderstandings, so be careful.

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

You seem to have good ideas flowing from your mind right now, and this may continue for a long time, but common sense should tell you that you cannot give every one of them your full attention. Be selective in your enthusiasm today.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Not much escapes your notice, but you may have missed something your friend has been up to lately, and it’s time to wise up. If they have wandered close to the edge, you have to make it your business to pull them back from the edge.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

Today you will think on your feet and make some very good hasty decisions, both in your personal life and on the work front, but don’t expect other people to be as sharp as you. Be patient with those whose minds move at a slower pace.

LEO (July 24 – August 23):

Someone you think highly of may disappoint you in some way in the next 24 hours, but you shouldn’t let that affect your friendship or any working relationship you may have with them. In general, they can still be trusted.

VIRGO (August 24 – September 23):

There seem to be a lot of weird and wonderful ideas flying around right now, and if you’re smart, you won’t have anything to do with them. One of your strengths is your ability to focus on what’s most important, and this will work to your advantage today.

LIBRA (September 24 – October 23):

Someone in authority will put you to the test, not because they want you to fail, but because they believe you have real potential. As you push yourself to your limits today, you may be surprised to discover how much more you are capable of.

SCORPIO (October 24 – November 22):

Don’t waste your precious time chasing things you can’t have. It may annoy you that some dreams and desires are doomed to remain out of your reach, but you have to accept that you are human like everyone else and you can’t have it all.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 – December 21):

There’s a danger in trusting someone you really need to keep at arm’s length, and if you do, it could cost you financially when the moon is full tomorrow. No matter how convincing they are, you have to say no to their sweet talk.

CAPRICORN (December 22 – January 20):

You may not want to back down if you find yourself embroiled in an argument, but if you can’t resolve the issue today, you need to find a compromise before the full moon tomorrow. If not, you may find yourself on the losing end.

AQUARIUS (January 21 – February 19):

No matter how much independent thinking you may have, you must maintain your outlook for the next 24 hours. You’re not the only one with strong opinions, and some of those opinions will inevitably conflict with your own.

PISCES (February 20 – March 20):

Why meet friends and colleagues halfway when you have everything going for you? Because there will come a time in the future when you want them to do things for you, and that won’t happen if you refuse to make concessions.
