Horoscopes: Thursday, July 20, 2023

ARIES (March 21-April 19). There are people who never fail. They are the same ones who never try. You’re in the mood to dare. You expect to lose in your early attempts. Letting yourself learn without pressure is half the fun.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you’ll move decisively, as though you know in your very bones which way to go, you may not actually feel this way. Whether you have confidence or just pretend to, it will be better to choose quickly and go with it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have friends who are like characters, animated and easily identifiable. They take a lot of energy and generate a lot too. They make things more exciting. You’ll be glad for the added interest they bring.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Those who claim to be the authority have limited knowledge. Until you get the other sides of the story, your sense of a situation will be incomplete. Progress will be a function of incorporating many points of view.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As you move briskly through the physical world you may attain a sense of flow that connects you to the world beyond, where secret knowledge is imparted and creativity runs strong. You’ll reach a certain speed; insights effervesce.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The offer on the table will remain a while, but the longer you deliberate, the less enthusiastic the other party will be about the deal. Today’s bright mood will have you thinking quickly, factoring in many aspects of an arrangement and coming to a conclusion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When circumstances are beyond your control, it won’t help to worry, obsess or run around trying to fix everything. You’ll welcome discomfort, accept the way things are, look for the parts you can change, and prevail!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll try not to make assumptions, but if you do make them, you’ll strive to connect the dots in a way that supports instead of condemns. The picture that forms will be a soft thought to land on.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The exchange of money isn’t only a trade of dollars and cents. It’s a trade of energy. A good deal is one you’re lifted by, which can happen even if you are not financially better for the trade.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). No matter how many other people you need to check in with now, giving quality attention to yourself will be among the most important appointments to keep. All health and joy will spring from excellent self-care.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). People will make your life easier, but first you’ll need to teach them how. There’s a learning curve involved. Be patient. It won’t take long for things to fall into a productive groove.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Moods are like views. To see the sunny skies, one must be at a certain elevation. For those down in an emotional pit, such elevations will take more climbing to reach. The first step is reaching sea level.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 20). Your energy is like a growth serum. With your gentle nurturing, people heal, improve and create. And when you turn your benevolence in on yourself, your dearest pursuits and projects take off with velocity. More highlights: achieving an aspirational physical goal, a comic diversion that keeps giving and an unbeatable team. Sagittarius and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 19, 34, 49, 15 and 28.
