This is the shopper's birthday, at its most fun the person who just likes nice things, but more seriously, July 2 people are often knowledgeable art and antique collectors.
This individual is unhappy in ugly surroundings and sometimes thinks the key to happiness is extravagance. It's also the sociable side of buying that attracts. Auction houses, car boot sales, garden fêtes, street markets and department stores are gossipy places, like a daytime party.
Both sexes are naturally drawn to precious and semi-precious stones, the one to wear them and the other (men) more to give them. Special Cancer stones include the moonstone, which is reputed to balance moodiness and amazingly enough relieve stomach aches. But the lovely soft pearl is perhaps the best natural reflector of the shimmering depths of this dreaming star.
Dreaming or not, however, the more practical side of their nature means that July 2 people gravitate to money and power. If they can't make it for themselves, they marry it. For those who do go this route, such personal and material motivation will naturally mean they are extremely sophisticated sexually, skilled in seduction and often devastatingly attractive.
July 2 reads a great deal about sex, talks sexy, which they often regard as foreplay, and play all manner of pleasing games. Look in the cupboard and you'll find a strip poker board big enough for several people to stand on, with a silver dice shaker. Let them know you've seen it and they will issue an immediate invitation.
Essentially warm-hearted, they adore children. Flighty ones may see a baby on the arm almost as a crucial accessory. But most make loving parents. This date frequently has a big family, four or more children. Their chronic hypochondria may reflect genuine health problems and if this causes difficulty with conception, either sex must guard against desperation. Highly motivated July 2 has a determined streak which helps fulfill their longing.
Your need for security, both emotional and material, is perhaps the strongest in the zodiac. You want a calm home life and the closeness of a committed love union. To you, a romantic relationship is about give and take, with each partner taking care of and helping the other. You regard compromise as the main ingredient in any partnership, and you want a significant other who is willing to work through difficulties by honestly sharing feelings and ideas. Blessed with a strong intuitive sense, you can usually tell when you meet someone if he or she is “the one” for you.
A true romantic, you make a sentimental, tender lover. In the seclusion of your boudoir, you feel free to explore the mysteries of sexual intimacy.
Affectionate and demonstrative, you show your feelings for your bedmate in lots of little ways. Because you enjoy creature comforts, you are good at setting the tone for a passionate encounter with luxurious bedding, scented candles, and romantic music. Physical contact is your favorite form of communication, and you depend on deeds, not words, to get your message across.
If your eyes often feel tired, try cutting down on sugar and carbohydrates, both of which are bad for the ciliary (focusing muscle). Other foods, which some eye doctors think may not be so good for clear sight include alcohol, caffeine, canned foods, coffee, eggs, fried foods, fruit, fruit juices, ice cream, red meat, milk and many drugs (unless under medical direction). Foods which aid vision are commonly held to be salads, raw or steamed vegetables, herb teas, in particular rose hip and hibiscus, tofu (bean curd), short grain brown rice and basmati rice.
A serene, tranquil atmosphere prepares you for lovemaking. You prefer the simpler pleasures of love to the more exotic indulgences of confirmed sexual athletes. You’re turned on by slow, sensual foreplay that builds to a dramatic climax. Your desires grow and expand in a languid atmosphere of comfort-ing hugs and long, lingering kisses.
Sneeze on Monday, sneeze for danger; on Tuesday, kiss a stranger; on Wednesday for a letter; on Thursday, something better; on Friday, sneeze for woe; on Saturday, a journey to go; sneeze on Sunday, see your lover tomorrow.
The shadow side to your sweet, gentle nature is moodiness and a tendency toward hurt feelings resulting from slights and insults, either real or imagined. You are oversensitive and somewhat inclined toward self-pity. Despite your innate kindness, you can be a champion grudge holder. Although you may be persuaded to forgive, you almost never forget.
