FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2020
YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder
Born today, you are not always one to play
by the rules, and when it comes to traditional
roles -- especially those defined by gender --
you are likely to cast off any expectations or
rules and go it alone into new territory that
provides the kind of inspiration, excitement
and confirmation of “self” that you are always
looking for. This doesn’t mean you cannot be
happy doing ordinary things with ordinary
people!
SATURDAY, JULY 25
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You have less to
do today than you may think -- but that’s only
counting hands-on activities. Your manage-
ment duties are many, of course.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept 22) -- You must
face more than your share of “slings and
arrows” today -- but once you survive the first
barrage, you can consider yourself home free.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- The back and
forth between you and a rival heats up some
FRIDAY, JULY 24, 2020
today, but you mustn’t let things take on a
more serious tone than they already have.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Oct. 22) -- It’s easier
than you think to get in touch with someone
from afar in order to collect the information
you need today. Choose your method!
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- After
laying the groundwork for quite some time,
you can finally do the one thing that gives
you a lasting advantage over a rival.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A fig-
ure from your past reappears today -- if not in
person, then virtually. You once more have to
deal with a long-forgotten issue.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- An idea
begins to take shape today that previously
was nothing more than a bunch of disparate
notions. You now see where this is headed.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You receive
a shock today that has you questioning much
that you thought was certain. This can be a
good thing every now and then, surely.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Others may
not be able to make sense of certain develop-
ments today, but what you make of them
helps you formulate a solid new plan of
action.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- What you
want and what you need converge today in a
most productive way -- and you’ll be sur-
prised when you receive approval for a new
scheme.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Temptation
may prove too much for you today, which
only means that you’re going to have to dou-
ble down on a past commitment come day’s
end.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Recurrent
themes and phrases have you thinking of
something today that hasn’t been in your
mind for quite some time. What’s afoot?
