YOUR HOROSCOPE
BIRTHDAY STAR: Actress Kristen Bell was born in Huntington Woods, Mich., on this day in 1980. This birthday star played the titular role on both “Gossip Girl” and “Veronica Mars.” She also portrayed Eleanor on “The Good Place” and starred as Jeannie Van Der Hooven on “House of Lies.” On the big screen, Bell’s film work includes “Bad Moms,” “Chips” and providing the voice of Anna in two “Frozen” animated features.
Aries (March 21-April 19): Sometimes revealing too much can land you in hot water. Remain silent if you have received confidential information; sharing it could have negative repercussions. You need other people around you to be energized.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): You are more at ease when you have someone by your side while doing your chores or running errands. Focus on constructive activities and participate in fitness activities or sports, or take a nice walk with a friend.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Follow up on any tasks that have been neglected over the past week. Something you bought may break, or something you want to buy may not be priced affordably. This isn’t a good day for purchases anyway.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): A loved one might not be in the mood. Honesty is a good thing, but be gentle rather than divisive. If you feel discouraged or lose your sense of purpose, find support by participating in a group.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): All’s well that ends well, so deal with the occasional problems that pop up with good grace. You might be down in the dumps, but a partner might be eager to go places. Consider going along for the ride.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Focus on self-mastery and your own goals instead of finding flaws in others. Get staged and organized so that you can make the best use of your time.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): That magic carpet you have been riding may need a tune-up and a cleaning. You may have too many fantasies, so perhaps it’s time to narrow your focus and adapt the best for practical ends.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Stick to the truth and you never need to remember what you’ve said. Insecurity could make someone inquisitive. You might find that some people are less tolerant and understanding than usual.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your phone may ring off the hook. It’s good to hear from old friends, but you may be in the mood to stay in. Depending on the weather you can stretch your mind with a good book or a long walk at the beach.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Play it straight and don’t be tempted to dance around the truth. If you discover you’ve made a mistake, don’t beat yourself up, but do analyze it to learn the lesson and make any appropriate amends.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A temporary lack of enthusiasm from others, or your own transitory doubts, can briefly slow you down. Partners might remind you of duties or hold you accountable.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Economy and thrift are always excellent virtues to cultivate. You may be able to share bargains or ingenious ways to cut down expenses you find online with others. Do not begin anything new today.
if July 18 is your birthday: During the next four to five weeks, take it slow, don’t take risks, don’t begin anything new and be scrupulous about paying your bills. Your nose may be pressed to the grindstone until it’s smooth. A major improvement is headed your way in September, when your luck will likely change for the better or an unexpected opportunity can relieve some of your burdens. However, do not become overly enthused since there could be some hidden obstacle that you do not recognize if you only see what you want to see. You may be challenged to maintain the highest standards in October and November, when may not receive recognition for your hard work. Your luck changes for the better in December, when you can take a break or enjoy the fruits of your labors.
