For Thursday, July 30:

This year, your messages might often be confusing, and people might not be authentic. Find a way of clarifying your messages, perhaps by echoing them. If you are attached, a partner is full of surprises and changes. If you are single, develop a way of testing people’s realness. Time is also an ally when getting to know someone. Sagittarius can always make you laugh.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

•••• A red flag pops, and you know to back off. Use your sixth sense when dealing with partners. Reach out for those at a distance, and look to the bigger picture. Tonight: Hook up with friends.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• Listen to feedback and get past an immediate problem. Know that you have little to no control. Tonight: Talk over dinner.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

•••• Understanding grows if you allow feedback. You toy with doing the unexpected. Tonight: Defer, and let another person choose.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• You could be making waves when you least expect it. Could you be deluding yourself? Tonight: Get into a favorite pastime.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• By the time you are in touch with what you need to do, it could be quite late. Tap into your creativity and find shortcuts. Tonight: Energize by having fun.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• Realize what is happening behind the scenes. Someone isn’t revealing all the facts. Go elsewhere to get the whole story. Tonight: Listen more than talk.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

•••• Eliminate what you have to do most early on. You want to be free and open when the invitation to interact and network appears later today. Tonight: A discussion could go to the wee hours.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Use the early hours to push a project ahead or complete a body of work. Is someone giving you ungrounded information? Tonight: Buy a treat on the way home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

••• You might have a lot to share, but wade through your work first. In the afternoon, share and allow your personality to come forward. Tonight: Toss yourself in the game of life.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• If you had to do one thing or change your direction, what would that be? Sometimes you need to stop and take stock. Tonight: Where the action is.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

•••• Clear out what you must, taking a stronger hand in what is happening. Complete rather than initiate. In the afternoon, a meeting proves to be important and necessary. Tonight: Continue enjoying those around you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Let your imagination go. You might be a little uncomfortable with some of the images that come up. Don’t judge yourself so hard. Tonight: A force to behold.
