For Tuesday, July 18

Those with birthdays today: What you say counts this birthday year. Professionally, you will make waves, intentionally or not. You find out just how much others count on you. You emanate a newfound gentleness, drawing many. Curb a tendency to overspend, as the ramifications could be difficult to shrug off. Investments could be slow to come to fruition as well. If you are single, you easily might have a magical relationship enter your life, if you are ready. Count on this bond being memorable. If you are attached, your relationship responds to any efforts you make to become closer. Work on a common goal. TAURUS stands behind you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* What you say could easily warm up the present emotional climate. Sometimes you want or expect too much. Right now, the world can be your oyster if you just make an effort. Tonight: Out visiting.
