Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, July 20, 2012: This year you become more verbal and very upbeat, so it seems. You simply are revealing more of yourself. Communication flourishes, and there is much more kindness exchanged between you and others. If single, be sure to date before you commit. Mr. or Ms. Right is likely to appear, but not in 2012. If attached, the two of you seem to experience more mutuality. Plan weekends away as a couple in order to bond. Leo makes you smile more often than not. A baby born today has a sun in Cancer and a moon in Leo all day long.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • • Your intuition mixes with ingenuity and finally allows you to move a difficult person away from his or her position.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Your inclination to stay close to home might be the perfect plan if you can adapt your schedule accordingly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • Your words fall on deaf ears … or so you think. Certain events indicate a greater receptivity from others than you were aware of.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Your tendency to overindulge, and perhaps be a little more carefree than usual, emerges. Others might be delighted by this personality revision.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • You bloom in the present atmosphere. Others remain responsive, and even a touchy person allows his or her caring to peek through.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • A lot is happening that you easily might choose to keep hush-hush. Whether you feel as if you will jinx yourself by spilling the beans or are just discreet makes no difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Aim for exactly what you want. Do not hesitate, and you will hit a home run. In general, you naturally do well with people.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • You might be a little too aware of your image and the power you yield. Others sense that attitude; therefore, allow greater give-and-take.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Attempt to find an unusual solution when all other ideas hit a brick wall. If you use your imagination in a brainstorming session or two, success is very likely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • Someone has a way of reeling you in that you like, yet you pretend not to be aware of it. Know that you can’t shake off a serious element tied to this situation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Understanding evolves, as a key person displays his or her true colors. Decide not to judge, and see what more could pop up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • Your efforts to contact a friend or loved one to open up a conversation appear to work.
