HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY MATHIS
WEDNESDAY, JULY 20, 2022 Planets Purring and Posturing
Mercury has moved into Leo, and soon the sun will,
too. The moon shifts to the sign of appetite, luxury and
money. There’s a feeling of bigness, of sleek posturing
to claim territory as with a lion’s strut, showing off
whether or not you need to. Perhaps true confidence
can’t be bought, though certain purchases do seem to
make a difference.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll sort useful
pursuits from those that are out of your control and
therefore pointless to involve yourself with. If you
can’t possibly solve it, then it’s not your problem. Your
terrifically productive day depends on focusing well.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). While business
can feel good, the stress from being overwhelmed
is something else entirely. It can be alleviated by
negotiating the deadline, halving the list and/or
delegating. Self-compassion is key.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Whether you’re praising
or being praised, the act of acknowledgement can feel
like an exhausting and tricky test of social grace. Step
back, shake it off, lighten up and move on to topics
less attached to ego gratification.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). There’s no such thing
as “off the record” with smartphones on the ready
today. Hopefully, people will behave better knowing
they might be recorded at any moment. Matters of
publicity and privacy impact the action.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your humor is so alluring to
those who share a similar sense, though you’ll also be
struck by how rare such a thing is. You’ll be drawn to
those who get how funny you are, and life is just better
when you’re together.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Newborn ideas aren’t
usually crystal clear. Typically, clarity comes after
you’ve shared some half-baked version of the idea
and then talked it through or worked it out on paper.
Shamelessly communicate your baby thoughts.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). People think that
having specific preferences makes them special.
Perhaps, but it also narrows their choices. Today you’ll
choose between imposing more requirements and
qualifications on a thing or broadening your options.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). How do you help a
loved one celebrate good times or weather hard times?
What’s your approach to a loved one being a bit needy?
Apply these answers to your relationship with yourself.
It’s the care you deserve.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The outside
world smiles when you smile, and yet sometimes,
those on the inside are impervious to your cheer. Keep
your rule over your own internal weather. Let no one
affect your excellent mood.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll give your
best to the thing that feels right to you, even if you can’t
put your finger on why you’re doing it. Your enthusiasm
is the quality that gets you hired, promoted, befriended
and more.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your general rule
for yourself is simple: listen more than you speak.
Because you follow this, socializing will bring you
a gift. You’ll have the advantage that comes from
learning what others don’t know.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Many times, it is not
until you are in the middle of a task that you realize it is
not worth your time or attention. In that case, fulfil your
obligation and then plan how to avoid the same sort of
situation in the future.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 20). It’s as though the
sun shines on you with new light. As you pursue your
fascinations, they develop you in unexpected ways.
You’ll be a leader, then a follower, both roles equally
life-enhancing. Creative urges drive you to do work so
unique, you’ll attract students of your style. A purchase
will stay in your family for years to come. Libra and
Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 28,
14 and 6.

THURSDAY, JULY 21 Martian Send-Off
The moon and Mars align in Taurus for the send-off
of the Cancer sun signifying financial exchanges like
those that might occur between a parent and a child
before the child goes off on a trip. Money for food,
transit, entertainment and souvenirs will be handed
over in a moment of caretaking as all parties look
toward adventure’s horizon.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You were eager for
good to triumph over evil. Now you realize it’s not
so much about good and evil as it is about power
and how a game is played. Rules will be broken by
all sides.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Only untrustworthy
people constantly talk about how good they are.
Actions speak even when the actor is unaware of
what they are saying. Those busy doing what’s right
might have little time left for hype.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A case of arrested
development will be featured, with people trapped
at a point of growth they do not know how to move
beyond. The stunted are likely oblivious to their own
behavior. Compassion is called for.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’ll take on tasks
you are not yet equipped to handle, nor do you fully
understand what they will entail. You’ll start without
guidance but keep seeking help and along the way
you’ll pick up the mentor you need.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve experienced the
quick brilliance of sheer inspiration, but the muses
are fickle. More typically, what brings about your
best is a bit of outside pressure. It’s on today!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your self-doubts are
normal but unhelpful, so you may as well stop. Your
wishes are not unreasonable fantasies. If you don’t
feel your hopes are within your grasp, you haven’t
surrounded yourself with the right people.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). While it’s wonderful
to get what you want, it does come with a downside.
Suddenly, you are responsible for protecting and
maintaining the gift, as well as being grateful for it
and using it accordingly. Wish carefully.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be mightily
productive working with those whose gifts are
complementary to yours but not identical. They share
your values, not your strengths. You’ll accomplish
together what you couldn’t do alone.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes
relationships require work, but you shouldn’t have to
work at them all the time. Putting too much emphasis
on serving the needs of others will only make them
spoiled and you resentful... not great for anyone!
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The ego has
a necessary role in your psyche, trying to mediate
between all the parts of you. Don’t condemn your
ego, but don’t cater too closely to it either, or believe
it as the absolute truth.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A great well of
self-discipline can be accessed. It won’t last all day,
so use it while you have it. You will expertly manage
your emotions, curb your cravings and shine in the
social arena.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). “The eye can’t see
its own lashes” says the proverb, though things
change with lash extensions. You’ll notice something
about yourself. To you it’s subtle, but not to them. It’s
an advantage to see from different perspectives.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 21). Your confidence
is high, and for good reason. Your talent, plus
inspired action, will equal explosive success. Quite
by accident you’ll make your way into a stellar team.
More highlights: A hobby becomes work, a moment
of closure or comeuppance, and trading in “old
baggage” for new luggage and celebratory trips.
Aries and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are:
8, 19, 3, 33 and 14.
