Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, July 20, 2009: Often, your life will take strange, unanticipated turns. Your ability to understand will take you in a new direction and keep you out of scalding water. If single, you are the prince or princess of charisma. Let this magic do its work. If attached, this year you will have a tendency to be one-sided and somewhat self-centered. Other Cancers can be challenging.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Center yourself. Others watch chaos disassemble around you. If you are open and willing, many options will come up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• Keep communication flowing. Think about and consider an offer that might involve a financial investment.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••• If you would like to turn in a different direction, you will have a lot of explaining to do. Your decisions are more conceptual than financial. Realize that others will challenge you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• Your instincts kick in, especially with a financial risk. Your personality melts others’ resistances, though clearly someone creates a lot of frustration in your life.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• Listen to your inner voice. It is feeding you information. Pressure builds between you and an associate. Try out his or her suggestions, and you’ll see the possibilities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• Know what you are doing with key people in your life. Think before you agree to a financial plan, as it could do more than toss your life upside down.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• Do more listening. You could find more information and insights. Be careful if you still feel that your way is the only way, because the response might not be what you calculated.
