For Wednesday, July 22:

This year, your energy merges with your sense of direction. Your ability to greet “new” and handle multiple issues comes to the forefront. If you are single, there is no reason to maintain that status. If you are attached, remember, two lives merge in this relationship. Leo often feels challenged by you.

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)

••••• You could feel energy building all day. In fact, after high noon, you might feel that no shoes are too big to walk in. Tonight: Fun and games.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••• More appears to be involved in a situation than you originally considered. How you deal with it and the choices you make could be critical. Tonight: Put your feet up.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••••• No question, one needs to have money, but remember that Geminis are about ideas. See money as a symbol of a job done well. Tonight: Visit on the way home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Be happy if someone steps in and wants to do it his or her way. Why fight this person? Often, it is out of habit rather than a sound decision. Tonight: What might be a treat?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••••• Experience the surge of energy as the Sun enters your sign midday. Your innate confidence builds, as you no longer hesitate to share even on a vulnerable level. Tonight: All grins, and why not?

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You simply know things, and that trend continues. “I just know” — don’t try this logic on others. New energy infuses your mind right now. Tonight: Vanish.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••••• You move from the role of leader to participant, just for a while. The relief of being one of the gang has its own uniqueness and is quite liberating. Tonight: Where people are.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

••••• Listen to others’ logic, but be prepared to take a stand. Take time to explain a situation carefully, and you’ll create less dissension. Tonight: A must appearance.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••••• Others count on your perspective and insight. Though weighed down by another person’s views at first, you will be able to see the bigger picture. Tonight: Reach out for someone at a distance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

••••• Others dominate. Don’t continue to push your way into situations; rather, relax and flow. If you want, you could also do nothing. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• Finish off one project before launching into another. In the p.m., you could find others distracting. Pull back and think about how to maximize the present energy. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Understanding could lead to a new level of interaction with a child or loved one. Though feeling quite mellow, as you look around, there is a lot to be done. Tonight: Burning the midnight oil.
