JACQUELINE BIGAR

Your Horoscope for Wednesday, July 18

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

You could feel slightly out of sorts this morning. Communication might not flow as easily as you’d like, but you will get your message across, especially when dealing with a feisty friend.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You will be very open, at least with those you deal with in some capacity in your daily life. You work well in a team setting. You will find that an older relative is on the war path and cannot be held back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Listen to news and information that comes forward. Your creativity bridges any gaps. This same ingenuity helps you bypass an obstacle or two. Let your sense of humor help others relax.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Pressure builds in an odd way. You might have misunderstood what someone has said. Try to remain levelheaded. Someone does not mean to challenge you, but inevitably does. You see how fast a loved one or associate comes to the rescue.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

Speak your mind, but also make sure you return all calls. There could be a surprise awaiting you. A friend or loved one is unusually assertive. You’ll be happy to see this person become bolder.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might be overly concerned about your finances. You also could have a strong reaction to someone else’s request. Be on time, manage your work and decide if you have room to do what this person desires. Do not hold back.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Regardless of whether someone trips you up, you remain on solid ground and know which way you want to head. Be concerned if a loved one becomes angry or frustrated.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

You have a strong sense of direction, and you know what you expect from others. The problem lies in the fact that a lot is going on behind the scenes. You cannot change what is.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Get through a project with focus. An informal get-together with friends could be the source of important information; you won’t want to miss it. Great ideas come out of this moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You could be overwhelmed by the demands of a parent or supervisor. You are full of smiles, but below the grin you could be swallowing a substantial amount of anger.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

You could be overly assertive or acting out in a somewhat hostile way. You might have kept some strong feelings to yourself. Just be careful not to be sarcastic or take out your anger on the wrong person.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Be aware of your limits. You could be projecting quite differently from how you normally do. You might need to talk to someone to express your anger, rather than misplace your feelings.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (July 18)

This year you have several strong desires, which sometimes might conflict with each other.
