Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday:
for Tuesday, July 26. This year you seem to connect with others naturally. You experience some tension when dealing with those in charge. You might find others’ lifestyles to be quite different from yours. Be intrigued and open rather than judgmental. If you are single, you could meet someone special when traveling. You might not decide that it is a forever relationship, but you certainly will grow because of this interaction. If you are attached, you will not complain of boredom. You and your sweetie often go out together, and you also might share a mutual hobby that keeps you both busy. TAURUS believes that he or she knows more than you do.
Aries (March 21-April 19):
★★★★ You often respond to your inner voice, which takes you into new and sometimes unpredictable situations. You could surprise yourself with your choices, and others are likely to be reactive. Remember that for every action, there is a reaction. Tonight: Treat yourself!
Taurus (April 20-May 20):
★★★★ You might decide to be more active. You will get a great response from others as a result. Follow what you feel is the best path, and you will be OK with the results. A friend or loved one could be reactive. Know that this, too, will pass. Tonight: Do what you have been putting off.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):
★★★ Listen to your inner voice with a particular issue that arises. This matter could involve a friend, and/or might emerge during a meeting, which is likely to catch you off guard. A conversation will help you decide what to do, if anything. Take your time. Tonight: Take off.
Cancer (June 21-July 22):
★★★★ Focus on the long term and walk away from instability, especially if it does not benefit you directly. You will be a lot happier if you do. Continue to focus on your priorities, which could involve several meetings and discussions. Tonight: Find your friends.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):
★★★★ Be willing to move in a new direction. Others might ask you for something that you refuse to give. A discussion will help, but in general, people seem to be in an either/or type of mood. You’ll gain an unexpected insight that allows you to head in a new direction. Tonight: Up late.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):
★★★★★ Your fine-tuned ability to detach will take you far right now. You know how to tell someone that you have had enough. Your sense of humor and depth allow you to communicate what you are seeing in a way that is palatable to others. Tonight: Enjoy some great music.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22):
★★★★ One-on-one relating is highlighted. Others seem to be much more responsive than usual, and you like what you are hearing. Still, a close friend or associate could shock you with his or her actions and ideas. Ask questions about this person’s choices. Tonight: Accept an invitation.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):
★★★★ You could be too tired to continue at your present pace, especially as others seem to demand more and more. You might decide to throw in the towel. You are likely to head out the door with the urge to make a meaningful decision. Tonight: Know that you don’t have to agree with someone.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):
★★★★ Throw yourself into work or whatever responsibilities demand your attention. A new friend is quirky, and he or she might decide to do the unexpected. Maintain a sense of humor as you attempt to see where this person is coming from. Tonight: Squeeze in some exercise.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
★★★★★ You have a twinkle in your eye that lets others know that you might not be as serious as you seem. A matter in your domestic life pops up that you must handle immediately. Try to manage your time! Someone will appreciate a change of plans. Tonight: Ever playful.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):
★★★ Try as you might to stay calm, you still could be overwhelmed by what falls into your lap. Tension builds, as you feel you must handle a situation that seems to be going south. Refuse to get into a heated debate about who is right and who is wrong. Tonight: Call it an early night.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):
★★★★ Reach out to a friend who has been lying low as of late. Catch up on each other’s news. Recognize how much this person appreciates your time. Make calls, return emails and get a sense of what others desire before making plans. Tonight: Favorite spot, favorite people.
