HOROSCOPE

(July 22 Saturday)

- By HOLIDAY MATHIS

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your aim to increase the happiness and/or reduce the suffering of those around you will be fulfilled at little cost to yourself. You’ll simply and naturally move toward the thing that feels better.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). As for the bad decision back there, it’s time to forget it. Did you really have that much of a choice? Anyway, that’s how it went and there’s no benefit in thinking further into it. What’s your plan today? That’s what matters. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Socially skilled, you are punctual, you order fast and you get to the point. Making people wait is rude unless you can’t help it, or unless you are artfully helping people anticipate what is to come to heighten their ultimate enjoyment. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have something worth sharing, so do. Be crisp. Use as many words as you need to get the point across and no more. Be transparen­t. Hold nothing back. Make the other person’s understand­ing your only desire. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What’s complicate­d isn’t smarter; what’s costlier isn’t richer. Today’s inaccessib­le things aren’t worthwhile anyway. So don’t worry. You’re not missing much by skipping the doors that are closed to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your day will be inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Wanting anything beyond this is just greedy – but hey, that’s a part of being human. Keep your joyful tone and much will be accomplish­ed. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life can’t go according to plan if you have no plan. Maybe that will be a good thing today. There were some shortsight­ed aspects to your vision and that will be remedied once you get away from it a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your life will be more of an inspiratio­n than your words ever could be. So before you set out to inspire anyone, think about what would feel inspiring to you and do that.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s a chance that meaning inside the main event of the day is nonexisten­t until assigned. You’d be wise not to chase it or think too hard about it. Just name it and move forward. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Our brains already tend to build the narratives that we prefer to believe. What’s going to happen when we can take it to the next level with memory implants? The science-fiction future will be today’s creative playground.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 22). You want to be admired and supported, not envied and controlled. You’ll get free of oppressive influences and shine in new ways this year. Your tendency will be to work very hard. Taking vacation days may actually prevent you from having to take sick days! November and March bring opportunit­y to deepen love. Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 27, 1, 29 and 45. ASTROLOGIC­AL QUESTION: “I’m a 20-year-old Capricorn and utterly lost when it comes to my career. I don’t even know where to start because I see a problem with every job that comes to mind. I live with my mom now and though I really want to move out, it’s going to be impossible unless I figure out what I want to do with my life. You say that Capricorn’s are goalorient­ed and ambitious. How can I possibly be those things when I have no idea what I want to do?”

Capricorn energy can be intense. You want to be the best and have the best or nothing at all. Lose that pride for now because you have to get in motion to find your ambition. You’re thinking too much and getting frozen by the excessive speculatio­n. You won’t get found by standing on a desolate path saying, “I’m lost.” Go where the people are and make yourself useful. Everything comes from the basic desire to contribute – to help people solve their problems. The cosmic omens suggest there’s much to be learned (and nothing to lose!) by completing basic education courses in college.
