JACQUELINE BIGAR’S HOROSCOPE

For Sunday, July 24, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You’ll understand why you have been needing so much rest as of late. You could feel as if you are a piece of saltwater taffy being pulled in many different directions. You know what you need, and you are likely to go after it.

This Week: Pull back and observe, but don’t participate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You have compensated for so much and have kept a very active schedule in the past few days. Friends have surrounded you, and desiring a little R and R feels right. You might want to excuse yourself from certain social events.

This Week: Think before you take action; otherwise, you could be upset by the results.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Where you are is where others want to be. You bring the party with you. You always add a witty and charming element to the mix. A partner could be difficult, cold and distant. You might wonder what you can do to warm up your interaction.

This Week: You could find others’ behavior to be odd.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Stay on top of an event that you are involved in. You easily could be appointed the role of host or hostess. Of all the signs, you know best how to make others comfortable in a social situation. Today you will demonstrate your skills once more.

This Week: Claim your power on Tuesday.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Opt for a day trip and head out of town. You could be surprised by how delighted you are to see different scenery. Head to a flea market or an art show. Invite someone who lives in the direction you are heading to join you for a meal. Catch up on news.

This Week: Touch base with an important person.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You could be out of sorts. Honor a need to withdraw. It is your day of rest, but you still might need to perform for others. A loved one will enjoy spending the day with only you, and vice versa. Relax, eat and laugh together.

This Week: Relate closely to a loved one.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might feel as if you need more time to yourself, but also recognize that your company has been missed. Take a day off with a loved one, and keep plans loose and easy. Your sense of humor will emerge, and you’ll start sharing some funny stories.

This Week: Demonstrate your listening skills.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Recognize a need for rest. You can accomplish only so much, and it will be harder each day if you don’t slow down. Be wise — do not fry your energy. Get plenty of R and R right now, as the pace seems to be slowing down.

This Week: Get as much done as possible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You could be running circles around others without even realizing it. You have become rather close-mouthed as of late. A child taps into your energy and helps you to open up. A loved one will be smiling from ear to ear as a result.

This Week: Use your imagination to create more of what you desire.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Stay close to home, despite invitations to join others at a favorite spot. You could hear news that forces you to talk to a family member whom you have not seen in a while. Understand what this person wants from you.

This Week: Listen to a boss.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Use today to call several friends whom you think about but never really get a chance to visit with. Invite them over if you can. Making them part of your Sunday via a call will delight them; reconnecting is important.

This Week: Accept responsibility. You could be doing a lot of juggling.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be aware of your expenses and the cost of a major purchase. You might want to consider waiting for a while. Reach out to someone who could be grumpy or who feels neglected. You need to be patient; he or she has a good reason to be out of sorts.

This Week: A partner finally shares what is ailing him or her.

Happy birthday

This year could be very exciting if you stay open to different ideas and are willing to be more vulnerable than you have been in the past. Others will be jealous of your popularity. If you are single, one-on-one relating proves to be delightful, as you are a very romantic sign. Make no commitments until you are 100 percent sure. If you are attached, your relationship becomes much warmer. You enjoy each other’s company more and more. PISCES could be even more romantic than you are. King Features Syndicate
