It’s Thursday, July 3 and one star sign is encouraged to rise to the occasion, while another should ditch the cynical attitude. There are 12 zodiac signs – Aries, Taurus , Gemini , Cancer , Leo , Virgo , Libra , Scorpio , Sagittarius , Capricorn , Aquarius , and Pisces – and the horoscopes for each can give you the lowdown on what your future holds, be it in work, your love life, your friends and family or more. These daily forecasts have been compiled by astrologer Russell Grant, who has been reading star signs for over 50 years. From Aries through to Pisces, here’s what today could bring for your horoscope – and what you can do to be prepared. Possibilities seem endless and you have the freedom to do whatever you want to. Ideas for travel and adventure that may have felt impossible last month now seem doable and sound incredibly exciting. This is your chance to break out of a rut. Embrace the moment. Someone you are with now will be the most generous, friendly and caring person you have ever met. You鈥檙e learning about true generosity from them and how to get a balance between giving and taking. This will help establish a strong foundation for the future. Getting out of the door for work today isn鈥檛 going to be easy when you have family responsibilities and personal matters to attend to. You are needed at home and instead of getting frustrated, focus on getting on with what needs to be done. Even though the thought might fill you with dread, go along with changes being suggested at work. These adjustments could open up new opportunities for your future. Rise to the occasion and your job will feel less monotonous once these changes are underway. A friend or relative will apologise for upsetting you recently and ask for your forgiveness. You鈥檙e uncertain about how to respond. Should you be kind or harsh because of what they have put you through? Think about how you would like to be treated if the situation was reversed. Think carefully before responding to questions and queries. If someone comes to you for advice, remember that you will be responsible for the guidance you provide. You can trust your intuition when talking to others and if you鈥檙e unsure about a topic, remain silent. Family and friends seem cheerful and determined to have a good day. This can be overwhelming when you aren鈥檛 feeling as positive. While it鈥檚 great to see others being so enthusiastic, you鈥檙e finding it hard to keep up. Accept help offered. Let go of any cynicism you might be holding onto. Swim with the tide rather than trying to go against it. Follow the examples of those who have plenty of experience behind them. Resisting change could hinder your happiness. Even if you aren鈥檛 fond of someone, there are times when you need to put up with them. You might be interested in what鈥檚 going on around you but what you should be doing is focusing on your own life and personal growth. Avoid getting involved in other people鈥檚 affairs. If there is a friend you haven鈥檛 spoken to in a while, call them or text them. You could soon be making travel arrangements. You鈥檙e usually good at working out whether or not someone is being honest with you but today it will be hard to distinguish between fact and fiction. Take your time to make decisions. Pay attention to the advice of a practical friend. A youngster in the family may need some help with their school projects. If they are preparing for exams, you will want to make this a priority. Just as if you are becoming increasingly aware of a work deadline looming on the horizon, you will want to make sure this goal is met. When buying something valuable you need to think beyond just the price. Take into account the warranties, product description and customer reviews. Remember that a low price could indicate lower quality or cheap products. Take a practical friend along with you if shopping for something big.
