Born today, you are a deeply sensitive, highly imaginative individual and you prefer, at times, to live within the expansive confines of your own imaginings rather than try to navigate the world as it is. You are certainly an idealist, but that means you may find yourself fighting throughout your lifetime against becoming a cynic -- for a great many who believe in the good in all things as you do end up disillusioned and seeing only the darkness that surrounds them, despite the light within their own souls.
One of the ways you can help yourself focus on the good is by collaborating with individuals who, like you, have the heart and souls required to be creators rather than destroyers. Indeed, collaboration for you is perhaps the single surest way of achieving all your goals -- even those which are most private.
Also born on this date are: Tom Cruise, actor; Thomas Gibson, actor; Sandra Lee, celebrity chef; Kurtwood Smith, actor; Montel Williams, TV personality; Moises Alou, baseball player; Hunter Tylo, model and actress.

THURSDAY, JULY 4
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Not everyone knows what you know, and that’s a good thing -- but late in the day, you may discover that you have a new and serious rival.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Contacting just the right person to help you with a stubborn problem may be difficult today -- but not impossible. Keep at it, by all means.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- What you say in the heat of the moment today is likely to be taken quite seriously, so you must be sure not to overstate your case in any way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- The more direct you are in expressing yourself in the easy things today, the more effective you’ll be in talking about things that are hard.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may not feel comfortable following someone else’s rules, but you aren’t likely to have an opportunity to suggest any changes today.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You may have trouble working with someone whose methods are not as current as yours -- or as effective, either. Try not to make waves.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- It’s time to take your complaints straight to the top -- or make the choice to let go of them for good. You’ve opportunities for both today.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- You may have to wait a while before you’re able to kick off something new today, but in the meantime, you can give something old a refresher.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- Has a rival stolen your thunder and beaten you to the punch? You must know what’s really going on before you mount a comeback.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Take care that you don’t enjoy someone else’s setback so much that it shows. You can use it to your advantage -- but do so quietly!
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The closer you get to an obstacle, the more unready you may feel -- but are you just playing games with yourself? Get an expert’s opinion.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- When thanking those who have done much for you in recent days, you must be sure to include someone whose efforts were behind the scenes.
