Gracious host
Although your birthday is often associated with dynamic and commanding personalities, you are also idealistic, caring, and reserved. The subinfluence of your decanate ruler, Scorpio, makes you naturally assertive, with strong and intense emotions. You frequently possess artistic talent and psychic ability, and need to find ways to express yourself and your originality.
Appearing friendly and unassuming, with a charismatic character, you often draw others to you and benefit from associations and partnerships. A natural psychologist, you want to know exactly what motivates others, and you are often easygoing, with an honest and direct approach. Although a good and loyal friend who enjoys social gatherings, you have a keen material awareness and natural business sense that are subtly concealed behind your warm smile.
It may be your strong desire to enjoy the good things in life that will motivate or inspire you. Nevertheless, an inherent dissatisfaction and a tendency to daydream or get bored easily may undermine your true potential. Guard against restlessly moving from one interest to another or trying to find yourself through other people’s dreams. By recognizing that the power of love is greater than the power of money, you become inspired and rich in heart.
After the age of twenty, when your progressed Sun moves into Leo, you are likely to become more dynamic, positive, and self-assured. This influence will last over the next thirty years and will aid you in achieving positions of authority. From the age of fifty, when your progressed Sun moves into Virgo, you become more discriminating and may desire to be practically useful in a more service-oriented way.

• Positive:tactful, the joy of living, sociability, stylish with film-star mannerisms
• Negative:lazy, overindulgent, wasteful, conceited, proud
Insightful, mentally quick, and witty, you have a wonderful ability with people and are excellent at making contacts. Being versatile and multitalented, however, you may have to learn the importance of making decisions. Although intellectually bright, if you lack the confidence to strike out on your own, you may end up working in situations that are below your full capability and talents. By learning to focus on just a few goals, you can avoid worry and indecision and achieve greater success.
Being interested in everything and everyone suggests that you are popular, adaptable, and socially inclined. A need to share your sense of fun with others implies that you are often generous and may find it hard to say no to the people you care about. More often than not, you attempt to keep the peace by using your diplomacy and charm.
Career-wise, your people skills, leadership ability, and capacity to grasp values can put you in a position of authority. Not liking to take orders, you are particularly suited for management or executive positions or working for yourself. You may also have a talent for business and do especially well in areas such as real estate, media, or advertising. Being a good psychologist and having natural sympathy, you may be attracted toward therapy, counseling, or healing work. You are a skilled organizer and not afraid to think big, and this will aid you in whatever career you choose. Alternatively, your sharp mind and sense of the dramatic may draw you to some form of expression through writing, art, drama, or music.

Despite their incisive clarity of vision when it comes to identifying perceived societal wrongs, and their marked determination to remedy any such abuses, those born on July 2 are generally less able to direct their considerable powers of perspicacity inward, toward analyzing and resolving the issues that often trouble their own psyches.
Yet this internal confusion stems from the same source as their extremely oriented talents: their extraordinary sensitivity, which renders them on the one hand responsive and empathetic to the needs of others and, on the other, overwhelmed by the conflict- ing emotional messages and urges that they, as well as those around them, generate. Since they furthermore tend to prioritize the demands of others over their own needs—in part a result of their innate tendency to favor the common over the personal good—they may unknowingly bury themselves in their careers as a means of escaping their own personal demons.
Indeed, when employed in professional situations— and their talents equip them especially well for psychi- atry and similar branches of medicine (especially if they were also born in the Chinese year of the snake), as well as to the arts—their formidable practical skills, ener- getic determination and imaginative approach come to the fore, inspiring and motivating others. Within their personal lives, too, these individuals demonstrate a self- less concern for those closest to them, and they are also gifted home-makers. Yet while the love of those closest to them may temper their inherent feelings of insecu- rity, they will remain unfulfilled until they address their own deepest needs.
