Horoscopes

For Thursday, July 26

Those with birthdays today: This year you often feel challenged by those you care about most. Take what you hear with a grain of salt. Your creativity and ingenuity come into play as you attempt to defy certain precepts or understand more of what is going on. You have been serious if not demanding, wanting more from your life. If you are single, you have many admirers. Do you really want to remain the lonely Lion? You have a choice. If you are attached, you will enter a new, romantic phase of this bond. SAGITTARIUS always encourages you to take the next step – be it a project, situation or relationship.

A friend or associate jolts you, reminding you that there is another way. You might be overwhelmed by news that heads in your direction. Know when to pull back and lean on another’s expertise. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Others appear to have momentum on their side. Not understanding the pros and cons, you might opt to pull back or defer to someone else. Investigate new possibilities with an eye to a snafu. Tonight: Sort through your options.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You get a lot done, and quite quickly at that. Your ability to move past a problem demonstrates your flexibility and skill in getting down to basics. If you are not comfortable with someone, say so. Tonight: Aim for what you want.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your ingenuity gets you past a financial issue. A partner could be unusually difficult or touchy. Think in terms of growth. Anything is possible with the correct mental attitude. Tonight: Put your feet up and relax.

Someone jolts you. Though you might not be able to change someone’s mind, you will make a difference. Facts, more than opinions, count, and you will see the end results. Investigate rather than declare. Tonight: Happy at home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Make a bold move or think in terms of change. Others will follow your path, even if you don’t think so. The possibilities become obvious. You see beyond what many cannot. Tonight: Work late.
