Horoscopes

For Friday, July 12, 2002. Those with birthdays today: You often get tense and have a difficult time relaxing. Learn to let go through yoga or some other stress-reduction program. Spend money on yourself, especially starting next month. If you are single, you’ll meet someone quite special, if you haven’t already. Relate more openly. Let another get to know you. If you are attached, take frequent getaways together.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

  • Speak your mind, adding your innovative touch, which makes a difference. Carefully consider options that surround communication. Tonight: Out for the weekend.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Don’t hold back so much. You might feel as if you need to guard your feelings and defend yourself. A close associate does care, but isn’t always great at expressing his or her feelings. Tonight: Head on home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You might be acting far more seriously than you realize. Stop being the grim reaper and lighten up. Add that vintage Gemini humor, and situations will finally fall into place. Tonight: Join your friends at a favorite spot.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Listen well to another who shares good will and a perspective unlike your own. Let go of being uptight about a money issue. Tonight: Fun doesn’t need to cost.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Don’t lose your pace now when it really counts. Now that you’re this close to the finish line, zoom in on a long-term goal, refusing to sit back or stop. The world is your oyster. Tonight: Keep on grinning.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Know when to slow down. You might need to focus on a work-related matter, but just the same, don’t take on anything new right now. Emphasize conclusions, as opposed to beginnings. Tonight: Head on home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Keep your long-term goals in mind, refusing to take an unnecessary risk. Tonight: Party the weekend in.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • All eyes turn to you for solutions, especially when an associate or partner tests his or her limits. A financially tight associate could force your hand. Tonight: Do only what you must.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • Reach out for those at a distance. Don’t allow a situation to stop you, especially if it involves a somewhat touchy associate or partner. Tonight: Start your weekend quickly.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • You might be overly stressed about a project. You psyched yourself up for the job today, and you might have difficulty leaving work. Loosen up or let a dear associate or loved one help you. Tonight: The only answer is yes.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Others push and pull to have their way. You don’t need to worry about what is going to happen, even if two different interests pull you in opposing directions. Tonight: Go along with standing plans.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Others have their ideas about what will work. Meanwhile, you could be left holding the bag at work. Be good-natured if you have to stay later than your associates. Tonight: Do errands on the way home.
