your horoscope

For Saturday, July 15, 2017: ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You are known for your explosive temper, but your softer emotions seem to emerge rather easily right now. Your ability to verbalize more with a loved one is emphasized. Reach out to someone wiser than you for some feedback.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

Pace yourself. Don’t worry, you have the energy to bring a matter to completion. When tackling your to-dos, you will clear out most of them. A naturally optimistic attitude could encourage indulgence, be it from you or a loved one.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

A romance could be heating up, even if you have been with the other person for years. If you are single, give yourself time to see what develops. Younger people and children seem to be full of energy, and they want your time and attention.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

You might want to get past a personal matter that has been going on for a while. Make an effort to get past any resentment you’ve been feeling. Once you start sharing more with a loved one, you’ll understand your interactions much better.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Don’t get locked in to rigid thinking, which could be a liability for you. Be more willing to get involved in an activity with which you have little expertise. Remain open to experimentation. Take up a new hobby.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Make calls and see what your friends are up to. You might decide to join a loved one on a fun adventure, but perhaps you would prefer being in a group setting. What is wrong with trying to squeeze in both?
