For Tuesday, July 17, 2012:

This year you would express your innate caring if you could move past a relationship or a person who can be very controlling. You might express your anger at times, but your best bet is simply not to engage. If you are single, you attract your share of admirers. If you are attached, try not to put the blame on the other person.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

••• Tap into your subconscious and listen to your dreams. A partner could be much sourer than you think. Tonight: Head home. Order in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

••••• You could be wondering why others are so reactive right now. Many people are stressed out. Tonight: Hang out with friends.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••• Be aware of a possessiveness stemming from your insecurity. You might want to rethink your choices. Tonight: Do errands on the way home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

•••• Your mood could change radically before you find the right one. Perhaps you need to express your hurt before it builds to this point. Tonight: All smiles.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

••• You might want to play the role of recluse for a bit. You don’t need to explain to everyone the “who, what, where and why” of a situation. Tonight: Enjoy the benefits of this vanishing act.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You see an opportunity that you decide to jump on. You cannot be too sure of yourself, as you will get enough flak and questioning to make even the most confident people back off. Tonight: Zero in on your friends.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• You could be challenged by many people today, but others’ attitudes come from the fact that you can be quite sassy. Let others have their way, and you will note a trend toward more positive interactions. Tonight: So many people, so many choices.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••• Pace yourself, as you have a lot of ground to cover. You could be overwhelmed by the options that appear. Tonight: Squeeze in a visit to the gym and some exercise.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• Your sense of humor and delightful manner appeal to nearly everyone. While some people might be testy and difficult, you’ll walk away from the hassles. Tonight: Live it up.
