Aries (March 21-April 19): The barriers of the day don’t instantly vanish just because you want them to — or do they? You have powers beyond the usual to come up with a fresh approach. And when you get stuck, a Libra helps you out.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’ll be creating a project from scratch, using many of your resources. You’re creative on your own but will be even more amazing when you brainstorm with a Leo.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): People are fond of telling you to stop and smell the roses, but face it — sometimes there are no roses. Furthermore many jobs are best done quickly, so get them over with. That’s why you’re a whirlwind of action today.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Whether or not you think you deserve good fortune is irrelevant. It’s coming, so get ready. All doubt and fear will subside.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): It’s impossible to go over the top with your predictions of how wonderful life can be. And the best part is people around you think the same way as you do.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When a person is behaving in one way, it’s hard to imagine that he or she can be any other way. However, the complexity of human nature isn’t lost on you, which is why you keep expecting improvement. Eventually you’ll get it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Be expressive. Be positive. Communicating well, calmly and tenderly is your ticket to making a relationship last.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You see the potential in others. It’s worth investigating, but don’t risk too much. The omens warn not to fall in love with a person’s potential. Love what is.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The reason you don’t brag is that you don’t need to. And what you don’t say speaks volumes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Because you do something well — delegate, for instance — you assume everyone does. It’s just not true. Appreciate your uniqueness.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are involved in a group, and the group is involved in a mission. You’re the one who can get everyone back on track now. Remind them why you all came together and what you all want to do.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You have the opportunity to experience something you never have before. This is most likely something you’ll do only once, because once is enough.

Today’s birthday (July 20): Go easy on yourself. You’re driven, but when you let up on the heavy demands you make of yourself and others, you’re suddenly more productive, successful and happy. Vacations in August are dreamy. A partner in fun makes a difference too. Moves happen in September. Capricorn and Scorpio delight you. Your lucky numbers are 10, 7, 9, 14 and 17.
