Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, July 17, 2018:

This year you could experience some innate tension. You also might feel a need to change surroundings. With some time, it will be easier to move through these transformations. If you are single, you could meet someone you consider to be a catch. Take your time making sure this person is who he or she appears to be. If you are attached, you might find your significant other is ready for a change. You will emphasize your domestic life far more than in the past. Libra is easygoing — or so you might think.

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 could become fiery this morning just thinking about a friend. Try as you might to reorient yourself, you are likely to have a difficult time. Allow others to dominate for a while and handle key issues. Consider a vacation in the next few weeks.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ Your easygoing personality wins out over an innate feistiness. No matter what choices you make, you’ll discover that there is a better way to handle a problem. Your creativity surges, but acting on a good idea could be more difficult than you realize.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★ A domestic issue needs to be handled quickly. You might want to postpone dealing with this, but resist the urge. A project could become much more important and interesting than you originally had thought. Understand what is happening around you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ You could be tired and withdrawn by the late afternoon. Deal with high-priority matters in the morning, when you are at your best. Be aware of what is going on, and plan accordingly. Try not to deal with a personal matter in a heavy, serious tone.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ You might be overwhelmed by all the requests that head your way. You can’t seem to say “no” to many of them. Try to be as direct as possible. You also might need some personal time. You finally will be able to make a change in a situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You could be overly tired and wondering which way to go when dealing with a loved one. You might feel as if you need some input. Get feedback from people who have dealt with a similar situation. Make an effort to contact a loved one later in the day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ Be willing to let others know that what they are doing doesn’t please you. You could find yourself in a problem that you can’t get away from, unless you are willing to walk away. Take news with a grain of salt. Curb a tendency to go overboard.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ You might not want to reveal all of what you are thinking just yet. Your opinions could change once you become more aware of a fundamental concept that others have based their thinking on. Be willing to ask questions and get answers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ You could be holding yourself back, wondering what the best way to proceed would be. Your sense of humour might cause you to move in a new direction, to a friend’s delight. Listen to what is happening with someone you deal with financially.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ You could be unusually disciplined. Others might sense your mood and shy away from you. Once you relax, you will feel much better. Emphasize what you want without stomping on someone else’s will. You will be in the limelight today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★★ You will accomplish more than you had thought possible. Your emphasis on accomplishment could help make your wish become a reality. Recognize the importance of a cat nap; you need to recharge your batteries.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ One-on-one relating is highlighted, but you might not appreciate the results. Your ability to clear hurdles and bring others closer together emerges. You have the ability to make quite a difference. Loosen up, and you will be happier.
