Someone who keeps trying to connect with you may approach you later in the week. Your reasons for avoiding this person - even if only intuition-based - are valid, so do what feels right.

You need to dismiss any fearful thoughts that occur to you around the middle of the week that are connected to a new or upcoming endeavor.These are nonsensical and probably only occur to you because they involve something you want very much. The thought of being disappointed is upsetting, but you won't be disappointed.

And because your mood is so stable and you are feeling a greater sense of balance and harmony, this is also an excellent time to work on manifesting some of the things you want in your life that you have not been able to attain. You are more powerful now because of your good state of well-being, so dedicate some time this week to pursuing your goals.

♊️Gemini 👬 horoscope for July 1 - July 7

You may be feeling more grounded this week than you have felt in a while. This will soften your interactions with someone in your family or social circle that you sometimes clash with. You may have had some difficulties with this individual in recent weeks, so this is a good time to get together and talk things out because you will be more apt to see things objectively, dear Gemini.

A friend who is a bit self-centered may need more attention and fawning than you are in the mood to give this week. Maybe you have done too much of this in the past, and now it is expected. It's time to give this person the chance to be more self-reliant by relying on their own sense of self rather than expecting you to keep defining it for them.

You should find that you will encounter people who are on your wavelength and are easy to talk to. Strike up conversations wherever you go, and you could meet people you will really enjoy and learn from. You may feel more in tune with your creative side this week. You may have the urge to express yourself in some way. This might mean something obvious, like painting or writing, but it could also take the form of dressing in a way that reflects your personality.
