Obstacles are standing between you and the place you want to be. Don't let disputes with known enemies impact your sense of self-worth. Sign up for some new training or try out a new skill set. This will lead you to an interesting opportunity. Being practical is the key to success today. You're sure of your priorities and are able to effectively juggle all the demands on your time and resources. <em>Excellence can be obtained if you care more than others think is wise; risk more than others think is safe; dream more than others think is practical; expect more than others think is possible. THINK BIG THINK DIFFERENT</em>There could be a departure from the norm. Plans may change direction unexpectedly. Part of you is itching for change, and this could be the reason why you are more likely to attract unusual circumstances now. It always helps to have a rescue plan/backup ready.

Keep a fire extinguisher handy this July Fourth weekend, Aquarius! Red-hot Mars forms a rare alignment with your ruler, electrifying Uranus, and their meeting in Gemini and your fifth house of romance and passion, no less. But that’s not all! Transformer Pluto amplifies it all from your sign. You'll be emanating so much heat that anyone who comes close is sure to catch a blast of your seductive energy. If you're worried about coming on too strong, dial down the intensity to attract rather than overwhelm. On the other hand, if this sounds like your wildest dream come true, set an intention to be open to whatever comes up—knowing you can always opt out. One thing to watch: the rising emotions that come with increased passion. Keep your jealousy, possessiveness and temper in check because your usual impulse control may be harder to access than normal.
