Horoscope: Sunday, Jul 6

Because you insist on doing things your own way you may fall out with a work colleague over the next few days. The fact is though you will need to work with this person a lot in the future, so make more of an effort to understand them.

Family and friends may gather for an intimate get-together at your home or perhaps at the home of a neighbor. At some point, expect an exciting phone call. You should be feeling pretty secure in relationships of all kinds, Taurus, from business partnerships to close friends to love partners. Information provided by someone else could give you some ideas as to how to fix up your house in a new and different way.

You will find it easy to see the good in other people today. You will also see that if you want to create something that lasts you need to join forces with people who share your values and dreams. Together you will create a masterpiece.

You certainly are in a strange mood today, Gemini. True, things have been going smoothly for the past few days, but be careful not to fool yourself. "Pride comes before a fall," as the expression goes. You should be wary of the way you treat your lover now. You're likely to be dismayed by your sweetie's attitude, yet you're the one who has strayed from reality.

It’s time to get serious about a relationship that until now you have approached in a light-hearted manner. It can still be fun, of course, but you need to start asking yourself what you can do to make your time together more productive.

If work is beginning to feel more like a burden than a joy, it may be time to rethink your job, Leo. Your personality is such that you need lots of room to stretch and grow. If you feel stifled, you know it's time to find a new professional challenge. You're fortunate that your skill set affords you many opportunities. Choose carefully!

Your latest big idea could be a real money-spinner but first you need to develop it from a vague imagining to something you can sell out there in the real world. Get expert advice if you need it – it could save you a fortune over the long-term.

You are allowed to be less than perfect. Too often of late you have been unnecessarily hard on yourself because, in your own mind at least, you failed to reach a certain level of success. Time to remind yourself that you are human like everyone else.

Express yourself freely and creatively in everything you do. Others may not approve of some of the ways you go about getting your enjoyment but while the Sun is moving through your fellow Air sign of Aquarius there is nothing they can do about it.

Whatever approach you decide on today you must stick with it. You have chopped and changed so many times in recent months that you are not sure which direction you are following or even which way is up. Time to get serious, and organized, again.

There's an excellent day on the horizon, Scorpio. If you feel hemmed in by fears or uncertainties in your love life, the day ahead will give you the courage to discuss these matters with your mate. Even if more time is necessary to settle things completely, you should make good use of today's clear communication channels. You won't be disappointed (and neither will your mate).

Time is not a factor in what you are working on so don’t rush it. The planets warn that the more pressure you put on yourself the more likely it is you will make an error of some kind. Relax. Everything will work out for the best.

Unexpected events may be shuffling the cards when you least expect it, Sagittarius. If you have kept a close eye on the deck, counting the jacks as they turn up, you might get thrown for a loop. Don't be discouraged. Everyone else is subject to the same rules as you are. If the dealer seems crooked, go to another table. Don't fall for the same trick twice.

Steer clear of people who annoy you because the planets warn that the more you try to be nice to them today the more they will see that as a sign of weakness. You don’t have to play their silly game. Just give them a miss.

Your mood may be a bit detached and scattered today, Aquarius. This attitude could get you into trouble if you aren't careful. Make sure you keep at least one foot on the ground. It's important to stay strongly connected with reality or you could find yourself up a creek without a paddle. Feel free to get more deeply involved in a project that you might otherwise leave to others.

How’s your self-discipline? That bad huh? Well, like it or not you are going to have to knuckle down today and focus your mind on completing a task that should have been finished a long time ago. Consider yourself lucky to get another opportunity.

Anyone who tries to stop you going where you want to go and doing what you want to do this week is not your friend, despite what they may say to the contrary. Don’t compromise who you are, not even for those who say they love you.
