For Thursday, July 20

Those with birthdays today: You have a lot on your mind this year and might choose to express it in an unusual manner. One thing is for sure: Not everything will be as it appears. Be willing to look at the big picture. Question and be careful with anger. You have much energy, and often if you don’t like what you see, you will experience frustration and anger. Learn to process your feelings. If you are single, you will approach life differently and be more willing to meet others. Do check out potential sweeties carefully. If you are attached, your relationship benefits by weekends away together and time alone by yourselves. GEMINI reads you cold.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You are fiery and direct, but you easily could lose your temper and say things that you later regret. Though you can apologize, you cannot make people forget. Tonight: Out and about.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Your expenses could have you stepping back and taking a deep breath. Which is a good idea, because you will want greater control, and a risk could be a problem. Be sensible and direct. Tonight: Do only what you love.

You are a virtual powerhouse and have your hands full. You might find someone a touch combative. This person could trigger you if you allow him to. Don’t. Think positively, and you’ll get positive reactions. Tonight: It’s your call.

Know when to pull back and handle a problem. The more you say, the more entangled you become in a mess. You will be able to pull back and make stronger choices. Think positively. Tonight: Some time to yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Could you be volatile and difficult? Could you be the source of your own problem? Be realistic about what you are doing and take charge. Your attitude could make a big difference. Tonight: In the limelight.

You will want to work with someone directly. You might not be sure of what you want and where you are heading. Work with someone without deferring to his or her bad mood. Tonight: Relax to a movie or music
