HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): You appreciate the differences between yourself and others. Your sophistication of thought allows you to consider opinions you don’t share.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ve already tried to solve the issue by applying your best efforts. Now try to solve it by doing, literally, the very least you can do. Relax.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): When you heed the whisper in your heart, you won’t stop short of a victory, nor will you continue down paths that lead nowhere.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You’ll hear “no” along the way. Reinterpret the response. Maybe it means there’s something better for you around the corner. Or maybe it simply means “not yet.”

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Try to rest — just try. Luckily, happiness and busyness go hand in hand now.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There is plenty of time to visit with the people who are important to you, even if it feels like you’re far too busy for that today.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You have a talent for dealing with reserved personalities. It will be up to you to draw these quiet souls out.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The bright ideas come to you first today, but if you don’t act on them right away, they will flit like butterflies to the other colorful and open f lowers around you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Freedom is a frame of mind. It is conceivable that the person with hundreds of opportunities still doesn’t feel as free as the one with three choices.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Avoid conflict, but embrace confrontation. When you ask nicely and without judgment, you’ll likely get what you want.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Stand strong. Maintain your own vision of yourself, and use it as a shield to keep the rest of the world from imposing their view of you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Mountains sing songs. Rivers give dissertations. Buildings tell secrets. The landscape and environment will seem to speak to you.

Today’s birthday (July 23): Your attractiveness quotient is on the rise, and life gets more interesting over the next 10 weeks. Take extra measures to keep your career on track during this exciting period for your personal life. September brings a reunion. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 50, 33, 21 and 19.
