Aries (March 21-April 19): Oh, the ideas you’ll have. Many of them won’t be hits, at least not the first time you express them. But try again later — the truth of the matter is you’re ahead of your time.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Instead of fighting the automated world, consider how you might join it. Delegate a piece of business that can be handled by a machine, then enjoy the way it makes your life easier.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Be careful whom you confide in now. The walls have ears — so do the hallways, the car, mailbox — there’s almost nowhere you can go to air your opinions without offending someone.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You are so in love with your work that it doesn’t seem like work. You would do it even if you were not paid, which is why you might not even realize that it’s about time you asked for better compensation.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You want to help a project along, but how? With your suggestions? Information? Money? Doing nothing but observing the way things are will be an even more valuable contribution at this crucial juncture.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You’ve heard that sometimes you have to be cruel to be kind, an adage that’s a bit extreme for the circumstances. Maybe you’ll be direct or a tad stern, but cruel? It’s unnecessary.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): What appears to be a conflict may be something else entirely — for instance, communication or passion.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Once you admit that you want to be noticed, you’ll be like a peacock among wrens. Seldom will you get such a delicious opportunity to strut and pose and maybe even rant.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Write down the qualities you are looking for in others and then embody those characteristics in yourself. In this way you ready yourself to meet your perfect match.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Relationships may seem to have no rhyme or reason whatsoever, but it’s no accident that you were brought together.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It’s beautiful when things are happening for you, not to you. Since you’re wise, you might consider that this has always been and will always be so.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’re dealing with that person you so often disagree with. It’s wonderful, these differences of opinion. If you always shared the same opinion, the redundancy would bore you to tears.

Today’s birthday (July 22): Your fascination with life’s mysteries draws you into vibrant worlds this year. You and a friend take off on an adventure in August. Career strides happen because others depend on you and recognize the uniqueness of what you do. Family pulls in close to welcome new additions in October. December is financially lucky. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are 6, 41, 49, 33 and 17.

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.
