- By Jacqueline Bigar

SATURDAY, JULY 29, 2017

Note: Bigar’s Stars is based on the degree of your sun at birth. The sign name is simply a label astrologer­s put on a set of degrees for convenienc­e. For best results, readers should refer to the dates following each sign.

*** A baby born today has a Sun in Leo and a Moon in Libra if born before 8:23 p.m. (ET). Afterward, the Moon will be in Scorpio.

*** HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This year often provides more excitement than you might be ready for. You frequently will detach in order to see the big picture. The unexpected plays a significan­t role in the next 12 months. If you are single, you might attract someone more serious or older than you. Before you get too involved, make sure you really want this type of bond. If you are attached, your sweetie might be withdrawn or a bit too quiet. Know that this phase will end quickly. Plan frequent escapes or a mini vacation with just your significan­t other. LIBRA adds an element of cheer to your day.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This year you create a lot of excitement. As a result, you open up emotionall­y and enjoy yourself more. There also is a side of you that is intense and secretive, which emerges once in a while in social occasions! If you are single, you could attract people who like one aspect of your personalit­y but not the other. Remember that you need to be accepted as a total person -- only then should you consider making a major commitment. If you are attached, the two of you might have a difficult dynamic at times, where you say one thing but do another. Be aware of this tendency. SCORPIO cannot help but be drawn to you, and vice versa.
