Horoscopes

For Friday, July 23, 2004:

Those with birthdays today: Your happy ways draw many. Try not to put anyone on a pedestal, as he or she can only stumble off, and you will be disappointed. Enjoy the haze and excitement of meeting new people, but listen to what people say about themselves. A foreigner could play a big role in your life. If single, many would like to change that status. If attached, your relationship blooms. Flirt with LIBRA.

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)

  • Others have enchanting ideas about what they would like to do, and those ideas include you! Be delighted, but don’t start romping until your workday is finished. Tonight: Sort through your invitations.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Take it easy and make sure you dot your I’s and cross your T’s at work. Take your time with a superior who has many ideas but can be wifty. Tonight: Get some much-needed R and R.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You might want to think before you leap into a situation in which a risk could be involved. Ask questions, find experts and hop on the Internet. Remember a child or loved one. Tonight: Start the weekend right.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Someone close has a very different perspective on what is happening. Listen to his or her perceptions. You come first. Tonight: Happy at home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • You need to reach out for others, professionally and personally. Your call is welcome and delights others. Clear your desk of paperwork and return calls. Tonight: You don’t have to go far.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Deal with finances carefully. Another person might not believe in or think what you do. Get to the bottom of the discrepancy. Tonight: Treat yourself first.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • The moon in your sign makes you the kingpin or queenpin of the day. Your creativity adds much more “pow” to your ideas. Focus on musts first, then start your weekend. Tonight: Skip out the door.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • What you believe is going on might be a lot different from what you originally thought. Lighten up about work and news that could feel a bit weighty. Keep your cards close to your chest. Tonight: Catch up on sleep.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • You bloom among groups. You seem to know what someone is going to say before he or she verbalizes it. Your sensitivity helps an uptight friend or associate. Tonight: Where the gang is.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • You need to command the ship, as others seem to slip out the door early or are out to lunch thinking of everything but work. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Your imagination and intellect merge. Use these traits both at work and at play. You might want to explore a new option at work or for your personal pleasure. Don’t ignore your responsibilities. Tonight: Opt for something different.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Take your time dealing with a special person in your life — in fact, possibly two different people. One might be overly glum, the other a bit demanding. Know what you want before making plans. Relate individually for success. Tonight: Togetherness works.
