Horoscopes

For Tuesday, July 15, 2003. Those with birthdays today: You tend to be overly optimistic and surround yourself with advisers who have a similar mind-set. A co-worker could be unusually touchy or difficult at times, though you might gain by looking at what he or she does. If you are single, a relationship will bloom in the second part of the year, when you display even more external traits. If you are attached, the two of you tend to share the rose-colored-glasses syndrome.

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)

  • Your ability to respond can and will make all the difference in how you approach friends, associates and loved ones. Tonight: Any good excuse for a celebration!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • You might want to make an effort with a trusted boss or older family member. Your creativity could be inspired by what goes down at work. Tonight: Out late.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You need to reach out to others, as they might be having a hard time. Revise your thinking about a partner or someone you really care about. Keep conversations flowing. Tonight: Off to the movies. Try a new restaurant. Break patterns.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You might want to get down to the basics, especially involving a money matter and/or a key association. Bottom lines now come into play, whether you’re ready or not. Tonight: Treat yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • You might not “get it,” and you could also be confused about your choices. Realize that there is more going on than is obvious, especially with a creative or emotional venture. Tonight: Indulge yourself and a special friend.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • You inspire others to a new level. Just because someone thinks that something is one way doesn’t mean it is. Flow with the many constructive associates surrounding you. Tonight: As you like it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Take more time making a decision than you originally anticipated. Not everything is as you see it. In fact, test your ideas on associates around you. Tonight: Please take some downtime.
