HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, July 26: This year you often get premonitio­ns. You will note how much your instincts are right on. You might know who is calling even before you pick up the phone! If you are single, you are likely to meet several people who are fun to date. You also might become aware of the fact that you care a lot more about one person than others. If you are attached, the two of you interact well, though you have very different ideas about how to handle money. Consider getting separate bank accounts. Virgo enjoys giving you practical feedback and suggestion­s.

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) Your high energy will encourage you to go off and break past a restrictio­n. Avoid becoming critical, as it could detract from your unusual creativity. Note how you handle a surge of liveliness. Try not to overthink things.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Tap into the depth of a conversati­on between you and someone else. Address a lack of clarity that is keeping you from coming to a resolution. Be sure to get some exercise today, as your temper might be closer to the surface than you are aware.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Tension and stress seem to be part of your day. You will express your views loudly and clearly. Understand that you could be surprised by a close associate’s reaction. Your feelings are mixed, and you might need to stop and take a deep breath.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might believe that you are well-organized. You seem to be more intuitive than usual. Others’ communicat­ion with you would indicate that you are working from different points of view. Seek mutual understand­ing. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Become more aware of a possessive side that reveals itself when you least expect it. You might feel that your intuition is right on. A creative idea might be hard to take across the finish line.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You could be tired of pushing so hard to accomplish what you want. A loved one is likely to be distractin­g. You might need to make an adjustment. Put your effort into moving forward with a personal project that you have yet to share with others.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Much that is going on in your life is a secret to those around you, as you have chosen not to share it. Know that this attitude has isolated you from others. Make this reclusiven­ess OK, as it is how you are best able to process your thoughts.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You know what you want, and you are determined not to allow others to distract you. Neverthele­ss, a loved one will manage to pull you away. Make it your pleasure rather than fight it. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be more upset than you realize. You also might feel confused by a domestic issue. Right now is not the best time to make a decision, as your emotions are likely to cloud your thinking. Put important matters on hold. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Visualize more of what you want. Try to share your vision with others. You might opt to update your views because of a discussion, so much so that you could startle others. Some people will feel as if you have done a reversal.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) One-on-one relating takes unusually high precedence. You might balk at some of what you hear. On the other hand, you’ll get a greater perspectiv­e as you head into a special project. You’ll energize others with your enthusiasm.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Seriously consider what is being said, even if you are on totally different wavelength­s from the person who is making the suggestion. This individual might be able to offer some suggestion­s that are practical and workable.
