Horoscopes: Monday, July 15, 2024

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You think you want something, but you won’t really know until you get it. Work toward that anyhow. Even if you’re unsatisfied with the reward, you’ll be stronger for the effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Just as you can’t tell what kind of charge is in a battery until you hook it up to something that taps it, you don’t know what power is inside you until you tap it. You’ll sign up for a challenge just to learn what you can do, which is as good a reason as any.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Today does not indicate what things will be like tomorrow. This is a transitional time, and things may seem like they’re all over the place. It’s an opportunity for a mind-over-matter approach; you’ll find your mind is mighty indeed.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Falling in and out of sync is what makes jazz so exciting — also life. You don’t know what kind of rhythm you’re locked in until you fall out of it, feel the tension of being outside the beat, and make the choice to get back in step.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Defining a goal is akin to setting a limitation, but at least it’s a place to start. The key is to remain flexible and willing to move things forward and back to accommodate the circumstance of the moment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Some of the things that are important to you just don’t seem to be finding their way into your daily life. It’s an indication that it’s time for tweaks to the system. It’s possible to get key things in each and every day.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Which is prettier, the sunrise or the sunset? The official jury is still out on the matter, but for you it’s all about the one you catch, made sweeter by the one you catch it with.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Expectation puts a weight on things. Since we expect very little from the superfluous, it tends to effervesce. Things you do between projects will bring more joy and interest than the main show.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). “Never say never,” “out of sight, out of mind” and “promises are made to be broken” are all sayings that speak to the fickleness of human nature. Whoever came up with them must have been unfamiliar with you and your mighty resolve.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Once you have the remote in your hand, changing the television channels happens quickly. If you have to look for the remote, it adds time. Your “remote” for mental channel-changing is an action like taking a walk, a nap or cup of tea.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It seems that something you want is being denied, but really, it’s just being held like a book in the library, on a shelf somewhere behind the front desk of life, just waiting for you to show up and claim it. Your name is on this one.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It happens every time — you set out to teach someone, and no matter how quickly they catch on or how happy they are for the gift of knowledge, you still feel like the one who learned the most from the experience is you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 15). You’re adored. They see you as magnificent and you strive to meet the image. You’ll work and play hard this year! Auspicious circumstances are made more so by the feeling they are well earned. More highlights: six instances of perfect timing, a reunion and an incremental program that will have you taking a new professional and personal direction. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 9, 33, 28, 5 and 18.
