HOROSCOPE

Friday, July 25, 2014 Aries (March 21-April 19)

You’ll veer in a different direction and surprise others. You also will relate directly to each person you need to speak to. Don’t allow someone else to convey your message for you. Stay free enough to blaze a new path.

Tonight: A discussion could become a bit too animated.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might feel antsy. Do some yoga exercises or take a brisk walk at lunchtime. Communication between you and others will be clear. You won’t have to question what message was intended.

Tonight: Walk away from a friend who is set on having an argument.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your high energy could be difficult to tame, even for you. If you continue on your present path, your fatigue will eventually catch up with you. Use care in a conversation with someone in your daily life. Do not allow your mood to color your words.

Tonight: Invite a pal to join you.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You smile, and others come toward you. You might feel as if you are in a safe space. Still, you could receive a jolt through a call. Wait until tomorrow to act, when your tune will be totally different.

Tonight: A new flirtation could be touchy and difficult.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might want to con- tinue maintaining a low-profile for one more day. By saying little, you are forcing someone else’s hand. Choose to evaluate your thoughts later. A domestic matter or repair to your home cannot be postponed any longer.

Tonight: With a favorite person.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

A loved one suddenly might seem off-kilter. How you deal with this person could make him or her more open to sharing in the future. There has been some rigidity between you for a while. Make time to get together with friends in the late evening.

Tonight: Where the fun is.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Today you’ll end a cycle that began in December 2013, which ultimately had to do with your self-expression; however, you still might feel a bit reserved about a money matter. Accept an invitation from friends you have not seen in a while.

Tonight: You have a reason to celebrate.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

If you have been holding back and trying not to get into a volatile situation, you might not be able to cork your anger much longer. Mars -- the planet that rules energy, anger and sex -- enters your sign today. Clearing the air will be important.

Tonight: Try not to be sarcastic!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You seem to have the magic touch when it comes to relating to certain individuals right now. A loved one could continue acting somewhat eccentric. Maintain a sense of humor. Others will let you know loud and clear what they want.

Tonight: Start with TGIF.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You might be giving a lot of thought to what you want. Sometimes people find you to be rather taciturn. You have seen multiple reactions like this, and you tend to see them as humorous.

Tonight: A friend clearly lets you know what he or she wants.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A discussion could occur with someone you hardly speak to. You might find this person’s thoughts to be very interesting, especially when the topic is a project you both have in common. Make a point of visiting him or her more often.

Tonight: Avoid a difficult loved one.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’ll be on top of a situation, but others might not realize it. Someone could start lecturing, as if he or she were a professor. Maintain your sense of humor when dealing with this person. A loved one might share what he or she feels is a great idea.

Tonight: Seize the moment.
