Happy birthday for Sunday, July 24, 2005:

Often, you find that others you have considered to be tried-and-true could become quite flaky. This changeability helps you stand on your own two feet and become more independent, whether you want to or not. You will learn to understand where others come from, which will sometimes make life easier. Avoid stressful control games, if possible. If you are single, don't decide that a relationship is "it" until you go through a whole year together. You might not have an easy time with a new person in your life. If you are attached, a child could be provocative. Stay united, and don't let him or her impact your bond. Pisces is stimulating.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ■■■ – You might be best off playing ostrich this Sunday. You could be jolted by others and their requests. You also might need to mull over some news that could stress you out on some level.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ■■■■■ – Your ideas seem to be endless, but at times they jolt friends, as you are revealing a new side of yourself. A problem might occur with a trusted confidant about an emotional or financial matter.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ■■■■ – You are in a position where you have little choice but to accept more responsibility. You might not be happy at all about your plans. You can be sure some key playmates and/or friends feel the same.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ■■■■■ – Take off as you wish. Just resist staying in the same groove. The more you break away from the same old patterns and people, the more refreshed you will become. You will also gain another perspective.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ■■■■ – Let a partner or friend make plans, as this person seems to know what he or she wants, and you could be vague. You could be very surprised by what this person comes up with. You learn a lot about him or her.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ■■■■ – Others want what they want. Don’t even try to change their perspective, as they will act up and do something strange. You meet people in unusual ways. A family member could be touchy and difficult.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ■■■■ – Get into a project at home or one that involves some other commitment. By “doing,” you’ll relax your nerves. A friend or someone close could misunderstand you. Try to be sensitive

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ■■■■ – Your playfulness delights and surprises a child, your family, friends and loved ones. You help everyone let the kid in him or her loose. The extravagance or costs could be heavy. Keep an eye on your finances.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ■■ – You are definitely out of sorts, and disruption on the domestic front won’t help. You might need to distance yourself and do some deep thinking. Perhaps you need to let go of an attitude or viewpoint.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ■■■■ – Plans for brunch or a get-together put a smile on your face. You don’t have to go far, but you do need to hang out. Buy tickets to a baseball game or the movies. Just get out and clear your head.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ■■■ – You might be best off staying clear of any big plans or expenditures. Your pocketbook could spill out right in front of you. Friends mean well but could become pushy. You need to do what is right for you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ■■■■ – Your unpredictability delights some and horrifies others. Someone might actually get an attitude. Be gracious with this person, as you are changing rapidly right now, and others are adjusting.
