Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 12, 2010: This year, you express your generosity in many new ways. Others are drawn to you. Your optimism seems to define their lives in a new way. If single, you will meet someone while out and about or at work. If attached, you become an even more united front this year. You often appear in public together. Leo makes a great healer.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • • Energized, you strut out into the world, ready for nearly anything. Allow yourself to be spontaneous; see where it gets you.

TAURUS (April 20- ) • • • Take a personal day if you want to. Wherever you are, you experience the unexpected. Greet new ideas and technology openly, ready for nearly anything.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) • • • • • When you feel confident, you simply go off and do. Such is the case today. A partner pulls back and re-groups. Your mercurial ways often draw strong reactions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Be aware of the costs of being a little too mouthy or erratic. If you are moody, others could become quirky. This appears to be a recipe for problems.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • Your ability to see beyond the obvious proves to be exciting once you explain your concepts. Good news comes from one at a distance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • You tend to withdraw and listen when you sense that what you know isn’t clicking with external events. Avoid tapping into your creativity right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Remain goal-oriented. Refuse to get tied up in an uncomfortable personal situation. Partners can be provocative, creative and exciting.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • You might say that your image isn’t important, but it is, especially when dealing with superiors. You could be exhausted by demanding communication.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Follow your impulses and instincts. Though sometimes this combo could land you in hot water, right now that is not the case. Do be careful with spending, and avoid unnecessary risks in this area.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Defer to a partner or loved one who has similar interests. You might wonder which way to go with a near-life-altering decision. Understand what is expected from you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Loosen up about your expectations. Many people have similar goals, but the paths are often different. Note a tendency to be controlling. You can only control yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Focus on one job at a time. Don’t make a list, because, as you will see, much comes in from out of left field that needs immediate handling.
