Horoscopes

For Sunday, July 14, 2002. Those with birthdays today: Often you find yourself stuck between a rock and a hard place. What is the answer? Learn to move past rigidity, accepting that nearly anything is possible. With this attitude, you’ll create an environment to accommodate yourself, especially at work. You might change where you work, making decisions about direction. Some of you will opt to change your chosen fields; others might go for new jobs. If single, you will meet someone in your daily travels. If attached, work on the quality of your communication. Do this, and you’ll share more 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)

  • Continue with the nice, lazy mode of yesterday, if possible. Avoid making commitments, and flow with momentary impulsiveness. Dig into the Sunday paper without a care in the world. Tonight: Get a head start on tomorrow.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Curb kicking up your heels too much, as a partner or loved one could have a strong reaction, especially if your attention isn’t focused on him or her. Express your caring in a playful way. Tonight: Live in the here and now.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Don’t re-create “Gone With the Wind” over a domestic issue. Rather, calm down and leave the gothic novel for someone else. Play it low-key. A discussion might not be avoidable with a close associate. Tonight: Take it easy.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Join friends for a fun Sunday brunch. Discussions prove to be animated, to say the least, and might have you thinking for a while. Take in a movie, sit on the beach or stroll around your favorite area. Tonight: Catch up on phone calls and e-mail.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Know when to say no, not only to others but also to yourself. This ability can and will make the difference as far as your security and long-term needs go. Ultimately, self-discipline creates greater happiness. Tonight: Think work week.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Understand those around you better. Gain insight by asking strong questions and following through on what is important. A child or loved one could push your buttons without intending to. Tonight: Opt for more of what you want.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • You might not be absolutely sure of what you want. Make that OK. Don’t push so hard to have others agree with you. Hop in your car and meet a friend halfway at a favorite spot. Now, that’s more like it. Tonight: Early to bed.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • A child or loved one might act up, especially when you side with his or her partner or parent. Be true to yourself and offer this person friendship and understanding. Tonight: Be a good listener.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Defer to others, especially a close friend or partner. Your family could be testy. Someone you put on a pedestal acts up. Go out and wander among the many. Choose a movie. Throw a party. Tonight: Out.
