HOROSCOPE

FOR SATURDAY, JULY 17, 2021:

It might be hard to find common ground with others today, as egos and emotions will be overblown. If we want to avoid getting sucked into unnecessary drama, the best thing to do is to stay under the radar and keep to ourselves, if possible. Maintaining healthy boundaries and not taking anything too personally will be helpful too. But if there is an elephant in the room that needs to be addressed, we can get the opportunity to clear the air. Sometimes the only way out of a tough situation is to go through it.

ARIES

(March 21 to April 19)

Be mindful of letting family members push your buttons today. Know that you have a choice in the matter. Go where you can find some peace.

TAURUS

(April 20 to May 20)

Try not to be too judgmental or close-minded today, particularly when dealing with other people. People have something useful to teach you. Keep an open mind.

GEMINI

(May 21 to June 20)

Do you really want something (or someone) because it’s in your heart, or do you want it solely because it seems like you can’t have it? Set your ego aside.

CANCER

(June 21 to July 22)

Take care that you’re not making yourself smaller just to make someone else feel better about themselves. Feel free to take up all the space you need.

LEO

(July 23 to Aug. 22)

You don’t need to be a savior. Nor do you need to be perfect. What you do need is to be as nurturing as you can toward yourself.

VIRGO

(Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Be mindful of taking a myway-or-the-highway stance today toward others. You never know the ways that people can show up for you. Stay curious.

LIBRA

(Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Whatever wins you’ve scored due to your hard work are yours to keep. Don’t let self-doubt or disappointments from the past rob you of your victory.

SCORPIO

(Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

Remember that you have control over your mental energy. That said, try to put more energy toward things that give you something good to look forward to.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

In what ways can you stand to be a little more selfless or thoughtful of others? Let your heart lead you toward the answers.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

Be wary of gripping the reins too tightly today. Rather than trying to do things all on your own, teamwork and compromise can help you get closer to success.

AQUARIUS

(Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

You have goals that you want to accomplish, but it’s going to take more than just plowing through the obstacles in your way. You have to take care of yourself, too.

PISCES

(Feb. 19 to March 20)

It’s not your job to try to compete with what your friends are doing. Your job is to focus on your own happiness.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

There’s rarely an obstacle in your way that you can’t overcome. Though, as determined as you are, there are those times when you don’t have to force things to go your way. During these moments, your charismatic personality shines through. However, it’s only the rare and lucky individuals who get the chance to get close to you, as you’re an extremely private person.

When you do connect with people, you build relationships that last for a lifetime. This year, as you work on opening up your heart to new people, expect to be rewarded for your courage.

Birthdate of: Kali Uchis, singer/songwriter; Angela Merkel, chancellor of Germany; F. Gary Gray, director/producer.
