Children & Family
Because they affect a disinterested, sophisticated manner, it's hard to know just how much family life influences July 5 natives.

Once married with children of their own, they find nurturing skills just beneath the veneer of their sophistication.

Health

They are talented money managers and have the ability to handle their own finances, no matter how complicated.

Dreams & Goals
July 5 natives are ambitious but often do not possess the self-discipline to see goals through to fruition. Much of what comes to them may seem like good luck to others. But few people realize that it is their clever behind-the-scenes operations that make their goals a reality.
