HOROSCOPES

- BY JACQUELINE BIGAR

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, June 30, 2018:

This year you open up to more vitality. You do not flee from your feelings, as you have done in the past. Others relate more easily to you as a result. If you are single, you have your share of admirers. You might choose to date several people at once, or perhaps just one person who captures your interest. If you are attached, the two of you will work on your communicat­ion styles to become more in sync with each other. Your bond will evolve as a result. AQUARIUS has some offbeat ideas.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Communicat­ion could become unusually difficult. Even if you choose your words with care, you are likely to experience an off-the-wall reaction to them. Misunderst­anding seems to float through the air. Clearing them up will take a nurturing attitude. Tonight: Hang with friends.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You understand the role of being a good role model. Both your integrity and listening skills evolve. Others find you, the stable Bull, to be somewhat unpredicta­ble. A boss or older person could inadverten­tly put you in your place. Tonight: Be sensitive to others to avoid any disputes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

You seem ready to move on. You always seem to seek out a

new system of thinking. Even with your good intentions, you could run into a friend who demonstrat­es more volatility than in the past. Give this person some space. Tonight: Try out a new type of cuisine.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The ups and downs of the moment could be discouragi­ng, especially with a volatile Aquarius who seems to be letting off steam. Try to support this person in working through his or her issues. Do not get upset by a radical change in plans. Tonight: Know that this too will pass.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

you receive when you speak up. Tonight: Go out, live and enjoy. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be witnessing a friendship flounder because of a misunderst­anding. It could be impossible to determine how right you are or how right the other party is. You certainly are gaining a new vision and understand­ing of others. Tonight: Do not overreact.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Your playfulnes­s emerges, and someone easily might misread your actions. Others seem inordinate­ly aggressive or overly reactive. Make it OK to let people know

what you feel is appropriat­e behavior in this situation. Take a step back, if need be. Tonight: Make it your treat.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You finally feel energized and as if you can't be stopped. Know that you could be a bit overthe-top. You don't want to feel as if you have to walk on eggshells, but you might not have a choice, as others seem to be particular­ly fragile. Tonight: Help others enjoy the night. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might want to express your thoughts to a loved one. You probably won't want to share everything, but opening up a conversati­on is vital for this bond. If you feel irritated, give yourself a break. Go for a walk to work through some tension. Tonight: Add some fun to the mix.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, July 1, 2018:

This year optimism becomes a given in your life. You will see concrete results from this attitude change. If you are single, you have a strong personalit­y, so you probably will need someone a little less intense for a partner. You will have several potential sweeties around you. If you are attached, this year offers many romantic moments. Remember to offer friendship as well as love to your significan­t other. AQUARIUS teaches you how to express your feelings.
