Horoscopes

PPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, July 28, 2018:

This year you have the rare opportunity to be able to make a major life change if you so choose. You will see new openings for the first time. The possibility of change allows you to look at your life more realistically. If you are single, you might meet someone adventurous. This relationship could be very exciting, though volatile at times. If you are attached, the two of you go back and forth about who gets what they want. Be open to trying different styles and approaches. Aquarius encourages you to be more bohemian.

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 friends could overwhelm you with their ideas, plans and other attention-getting schemes. Be flattered rather than annoyed. No matter what you choose to do, you will feel on top of your game. You also will feel unusually appreciated.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ You take your place in the limelight, even if you are just going to the grocery store. All eyes turn to you. You have a unique magnetism that seems to attract others. A partner might be a little more assertive than usual.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ You could be full of energy and able to distance yourself from all the volatile energy around you. You might decide to keep your opinions to yourself, as you see what types of reactions others are receiving by simply expressing a thought.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★★ You might find that one special person in your life has a way of understanding what is going on with you. Express your caring and appreciation to this person in a way so that your message will be heard. You do not have to announce your plans.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ You cannot hold back, even if you promised yourself you would. A partner or loved one is effusive in his or her self-expression. You might not always be comfortable with this person’s overwhelming expressions of affection. Throw yourself into the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★ You could focus on a key matter or detail that affects your life. Others might not know what’s going on in your head, as you likely will choose to keep things to yourself. Do something just for you, whether you schedule a massage or get your hair cut.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You could be in a situation where you choose to head in a new direction. You could laugh and enjoy yourself with a child. Why not ask this person what he or she would like to do today? Be ready, as the request might not be simple or cheap.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★ Your positive attitude helps a family member who might be very moody or somewhat blue. Give this person the flexibility he or she desires. A must appearance could cause a problem for you. Your preference might be to be somewhere else.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★ You reveal more of what has been on your mind. In a sense, not expressing your thoughts could be viewed as manipulative. You might want to try to let go and invite a loved one for a fun day out to participate in a hobby you both love.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★ Before you say “yes,” think about what is being proposed. It could be a lot of fun, but who is going to have to pay for the majority of the happening? Ultimately, you could be resentful if you don’t feel that the financial agreement is appropriate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★ You could be quite content with what is happening around you. Consider what might be needed in order to change direction, if you are uncomfortable. What is occurring with the lunar eclipse in your sign might force you to redefine your relationship needs.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★★ Observe what is happening around you. Consider opportunities that might come from all this activity. Continue to play a low-key role, and understand what others are going through. You also might be uncomfortable in some way. Speak about it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, July 29, 2018:

This year you will feel better than you have in a while. You often find that you work better within a partnership, though you will need to defer to the other party more than you currently do. You actually will find your new role easier than you had thought. If you are single, you meet potential sweeties with ease. You need to define what you want, or what type of relationship you desire. If you are attached, the two of you blend well together. You will be ready to make some positive changes that will only help your bond. Pisces might care much more about you than you think!

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★★★ Accept an invitation to get together with the gang, perhaps for a game of cards or softball. You have the unique opportunity to share some news, but also to catch up on several friends’ happenings. You feel cared about when you hang out with this group.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ You bring others together for a fun picnic or barbecue. Know that you will have more than adequate time to catch up on others’ news. Someone might ask you a question that you feel shy about answering. Know that you don’t need to say anything.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★★★ You are full of get-up-and-go. No one in his or her right mind will interfere with your plans. Consider heading to a fair or perhaps a flea market. You will enjoy the different setting. You will feel more upbeat than you have in a while.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★★ Your feelings seem to be all over the place. You might want to be with the apple of your eye most of the day. Try to be a little less clingy. Communication remains vibrant and interesting, especially when reaching out to family.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ Defer to someone else who demands to take the lead. Be quietly supportive and ready to pitch in. Make plans for some quality time together, where you can share more. One-on-one relating becomes rewarding later in the afternoon.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You might be more concerned about what others are thinking than you should be. If you’re throwing a get-together, know that people will be busy relishing the company of others. Later in the afternoon, someone who knocks your socks off makes an appearance.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You could be busy pursuing a new interest or the company of an intriguing person you recently met. You can get over a little misunderstanding if you just relax and go with the flow. You have a lot to celebrate. Enjoy the moment!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ Tension mounts. You might be vested in the outcome of a certain situation. You could be pushing too hard to get what you want. You will gain information through a discussion. You actually do not need to ask questions. Instead, just listen more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★★★ Your words fall on the right ears! Others hear a lot about what should be, and why they should proceed in a certain direction. Your sense of humour makes a big difference in the events that take place. Try to rein in someone who seems to be out of control.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You can pull apart a money matter with ease. You will see it differently once others contribute to a conversation by sharing more of what they have on their minds. Loosen up and enjoy the moment and what is happening.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★★★ You beam in much more of what you want. Just go out and be yourself. Add more fun to the moment by allowing yourself to be more spontaneous. You are looking at life much differently. Be aware of a possessive tone that comes out at times.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★ You could be unusually serious, and might be demanding much more from others. Tension builds around you. By late afternoon, you will let go of the issue. Once you relax, others around you will, too. Don’t let a disagreement turn into something more.
