For Saturday, July 21:

This year you seem far more particular, yet caring at the same time. If you are single, you might put the person you decide to be involved with on a pedestal, which nearly promises an inevitable downhill crash. If you are attached, the two of you often misread each other.

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)

•••• Your vision of what could happen might be different from what actually takes place. Consider that you might be at the root of the problem. Tonight: Opt for good times.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

•••• You will say what you want and observe the responses of family, a loved one and/or a friend. Remember, you have no control over the situation or over others. Tonight: Entertain from home.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

••• Stick to the basics, and make your home and family priorities. Honor what is happening with an older friend, but don’t waver too much from agreed-upon values within your domestic circle. Tonight: Be spontaneous.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

••••• Verbalize what you believe is important before you follow through on what seems like a spontaneous option, as it could throw quite a few plans off. Listen to someone who always seems enthusiastic and full of ideas. Tonight: Throw a get-together.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

•••• You could be more upbeat in the morning, unless you like unexpected changes in plans followed by friends’ reactions and a need for creativity to resolve an issue. Tonight: Trust only yourself with your money.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

•••• You feel more like yourself as the day goes on. Someone you often admire and put on a pedestal might go directly against your wishes. Tonight: Chat away.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

••• Call a friend in the morning, especially if you would like to get together with this person. You’ll find that plans quickly could get confused. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

•••• Your sense of direction helps a meeting or a fun event stay in sync. Unexpected developments could derail even the best laid plans. Tonight: Where the people are.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

•••• You might want to understand what is going on with a respected friend or family member. Simply observing that he or she could be slightly off might not be enough. Tonight: Maintain a high profile.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

•••• A partner shares more — finally! Your creativity points to a new outlook that might work for both of you. Tonight: Try a movie.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

••••• You might have planned a quiet day, but your friends and loved ones announce otherwise. Seize the moment. Tonight: Dinner with a person.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

•••• You could feel a little out of sorts as you visualize more of what you want. The next step is to take action to make it so. Tonight: Go along with someone’s idea.
