JACQUELINE BIGAR

Your Horoscope for Wednesday, July 17

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Honor a feeling of being drained. Even if you feel that you can complete a task well, don’t take on anything that demands high energy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★

You might hit an unanticipated obstacle around work or when dealing with a community-related matter. Instead of espousing a stubborn stance, listen to and evaluate what you hear.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ When making a decision, look beyond the obvious. You could want to try another approach or see whether you have any other options.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You might wish for a calm, easy day. You also could be tired and easily miss all the options available. Postpone what you can. Confusion could be prevalent and mixed with some unexpected events.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Others appear to be more flexible than they have been recently. You might opt to have a difficult conversation, but you might find that another person has not really settled in after recent events.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★ How you work with a situation depends on how much time you have. At this moment, certain daily responsibilities could be overly demanding.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ If you hit a snafu, such as a person who seems closed down, then tap into your creativity. Know that you can open this person up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ Demands come in from the homefront, some real estate or a roommate. Know that you can deal with what’s coming up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★★ You’ll feel free to speak your mind. You won’t be concerned about other people’s reactions; however, you might need to deal with them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★ Your concerns about your finances easily could be justified. Because of your attention and precision, you could avoid a big problem.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ You feel more in charge and together than you have for a while. You might face a misunderstanding and clear it out.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★

You might feel tired, perhaps from yesterday’s eclipse or simply not getting enough R and R. You know how to change that feeling.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ( July 17) This year, you might have the best intentions, but somehow, others might not always hear you at first. Your communication skills develop to a new peak.
