HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Negative talk is like a virus. You’ll stay healthy by talking about what’s true and what’s positive.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): It can be very frustrating to wait for growth. Try to be more like the butterfly — relaxed and willing to let nature do its thing.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): They’ll look to you for support that you’re not sure you’re qualified to give. But all they need is your ear.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You may think that you deserve hard love, but if you bring softness to the way you deal with yourself, you’ll get better results.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Humans take time to learn just about everything. And they often can’t learn alone. You’ll find your educational counterpart today.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Take control of your own fate. Take a chance on you. Risk on your own best, most scientific guess.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The one who you can be silly with is essential to your life.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You feel generous, though it’s not always so easy to find people who can really use what you have to share. Don’t give it to just anyone.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Now is as good a time as any to move on. Trust that some problems are best solved by not thinking at all. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Strike a balance with your communication. Be direct about the things you really need to happen. But keep the mystery alive on topics that don’t directly concern the other person.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): So much of your action comes from a belief about yourself and an intention to operate in the world according to that belief. Examine your feelings about you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): No matter how clear you think you’re being, people will come up with their own interpretations. So just say it like you want to say it.

Today’s birthday (July 24): You already have a lovable manner with people, and this year, new skills take your relationships to the next level. You’ll treat people exactly how they want everyone to treat them, and this gives you great influence. The money flows to you in August, and again with a big sale in December. A merger happens in February. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 4, 44, 48 and 6.
