July 2 Zodiac Birthday Signs – 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.

Work & Vocation

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.

Famous people who share your birthday include writers Franz Kafka and Herman Hesse, comedian Dan Rowan, Phillipine politician Imelda Marcos, and model Jerry Hall.
