ROYAL STARS

Your Horoscope for Thursday, July 14

MOON ALERT: After 4:30 a.m. EDT today (1:30 a.m. PDT), there are no restrictions to shopping or important decisions today. The Moon is in Aquarius.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ Today you might be lost in daydreams and fantasies, which can be fun because it’s an escape from your everyday world.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★

Be careful of financial decisions, because things might not be as they appear. Today, wishful thinking will not necessarily make it so.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ Today you might give in to wishful fantasies when dealing with others, which can set up a situation where you will feel let down.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Today you might seek escape from the responsibilities of your everyday world. We all have moments like this.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★ When relating to friends and groups today, make sure to keep your expectations on a realistic level. If you expect too much of others, invariably, you will be disappointed. Remember, we are all frail mortals doing our best to deal with our own reality.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Today it’s easy to misunderstand what a parent, boss or someone in authority might expect of you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ Be careful not to fall for grandiose ideas propagated by someone, especially if you have doubts. Many people say things that have no basis in reality.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★ This is a tricky day for discussions about shared property, insurance disputes or how to deal with an inheritance, because people are prone to wishful thinking today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★ Although Venus is opposite your sign, which can promote warm relations with others, today, Neptune in the picture will cloud things and create confusion.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★ If people are going to help you with a project or your job, be grateful. If you think someone is doing a guilt trip on you, avoid them.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★ Because the Moon is in your sign today, you will feel stronger emotions about things. Stay grounded and realistic. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Because we have so much invested in our families, family life can be our greatest area of disappointment and misunderstandings.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ( July 14) You are a sensitive, caring and generous person who will help those in need. Although you appear lighthearted, privately you are a serious person.
