HOROSCOPE

Aries ( March 21- April 19): When you believe at a deep level that people are rooting for you, you will perform to the very best of your ability.

Taurus ( April 20- May 20): If you take the time to read, you cannot help but grow in knowledge and empathy.

Gemini ( May 21- June 21): Eyes give people away. You’ll get clues, as well as tell- all testaments, from people’s eyes today.

Cancer ( June 22- July 22): You’ve let go of certain habits and things you used to enjoy. But occasionally there’s still a nostalgic pang. You’ll feel that today.

Leo ( July 23- Aug. 22): The life challenges of others may seem greater than those you face, but it matters not at all. Your challenges are real. Take them on.

Virgo ( Aug. 23- Sept. 22): Even though you have many

meet- ups today, treat the time you have to yourself as sacred as any other appointments.

Libra ( Sept. 23- Oct. 23): They want you at the party, and you may or may not want to be there, but if you go, you won’t be sorry.

Scorpio ( Oct. 24- Nov. 21): There’s a myth about creativity, that it happens outside the space of day- to- day life, when indeed it grows out of the soil of daily life. You’ll notice that today.

Sagittarius ( Nov. 22Dec. 21): You are not imprisoned by circumstances. There are exits everywhere. Notice them and you’ll stop feeling stuck. Capricorn ( Dec. 22- Jan. 19): Someone is leaning on you too hard. But you are free. It’s a question of awareness. Aquarius ( Jan. 20- Feb. 18): It takes confidence and trust to be welcoming. Your open attitude will attract both good and bad, which is

why it’s best to add a screen to that open- door policy.

Pisces ( Feb. 19- March 20): Your motivations and spontaneous urges used to drive the day, and now they don’t. It’s just a part of growing up.

Today’s birthday ( July 16): The main themes over the next three months will be honing skills and happy times with family. A general area of expertise has served you well, but when you get specialized in September, your compensation will be hefty. You’ll pay homage in October and be part of a sacred experience. Advances in tech make life better in 2019. Virgo and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 32, 14, 44, 48 and 1.
