HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, July 13, 2016: This year you often might be quiet, but your feelings will be more intense than usual. You will find that your intuition is right-on more times than not; learn to use this gift. If you are single, someone quite exotic could enter your life and create a lot of excitement. You might not think you are ready for such intensity, but you are. If you are attached, your in-laws play a significant role in your interactions. Use your bond with them to understand your sweetie better. Scorpio reads you so well that it might make you uncomfortable. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You know how to get others to open up and reach a new level of understanding. Whether discussions surround business or personal matters, your impact remains the same. Your creativity emerges and cannot be denied.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Defer to others if you want a clearer picture of what is going on with them. A friend could be unusually vague, but he or she means well. Be caring as you seek out more information. You don’t want to make others feel challenged.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Pace yourself and accomplish as much as possible. You might note that you have a tendency to let your mind drift if you lose your focus. Maintain a sense of direction. Communication could be full of information and quite enlightening.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22)

You’ll see life through different eyes after you have a discussion with someone who is somewhat passive and not actively involved in your life. This person has a unique perspective, and probably has known you for a long time.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22)

Stay close to home, especially if you are concerned about a particular relationship. How you state your worries could define the response you receive. Don’t put the other party on the defensive. Laughter will lighten the mood.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might need to rethink a personal matter more carefully. You could misinterpret someone else’s comments and/or be afraid of saying something and having it be misread. You know what to do; just be diplomatic.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Your possessiveness might cause a problem. Be more in touch with your insecurities, and work on eliminating them. You will find that relating to others will become much easier as a result. Listen to what someone has to share.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Take a stand, if need be, but be ready for some flak. Others want to understand you better and get to the bottom of a problem. You might project a very self-assured front, which could intimidate those around you. Are you sure you want to do this?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You might need to pull back and take some time off. Get some extra R and R. Make it OK to schedule a day just for you. A long-distance call or news from a distance will help you relax and could encourage you to take off even more time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Focus on what you want, and don’t be distracted. Try to convince others that what you want is a good idea, and perhaps you will gain their support. Oneon-one relating is highlighted. A friendship might play into your love life.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

One-on-one relating takes you down a new path. You might wonder whether you are being too open and forthright. Others seem to gravitate toward you. Maintain some distance right now, before you say something you might regret.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Reach out to someone you care about who is evasive or who does not reveal as much as you might like. Your desire to pull this person out of his or her shell is likely to work. Keep in mind that he or she has a quiet facet to his or her personality.
