Horoscopes: Wednesday, July 17, 2019

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You always have feelers extended for danger, opportunity and necessary information. You don’t notice this until those feelers start tingling like they will today. Your spidey sense is telling you something.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). The sweetest words to land on your ears will be “you’re right,” or possibly, “that’s right.”... Anything along those lines will do! It’s especially satisfying because, well, you are so very right!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When someone joins in on your emotional stance, it feels good. It’s not that you need the validation, but when it comes, you calm down, feel comfortable -- happy, even. Perhaps you did need it after all.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your reputation will precede you. You can’t control what people say about you, but you can enact behaviors and brand yourself in a way that makes certain definitions stick.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Building bonds is interesting work. The more you talk about things you have in common other than business, the more likely it is that business is going to happen.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The reptilian brain has been keeping humans alive for thousands of years. So try not to blame it too much for firing those fight-or-flight signals seemingly unnecessarily. Just say, “Thanks for the message,” and then cozy up to your fear.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The winning move will be one that is pleasantly persistent. The consistency of tone earns trust, and the established pattern primes everyone for what’s sure to happen, that is to say, you’ll eventually get what you want.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Define success, not only for yourself but also to hear another person’s definition. If people working together have different definitions of the success, the journey will be arduous indeed.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). “How?” is the question that will bring people together. People who know how will show people who don’t. Or perhaps nobody knows how and there will be some enjoyable joint experimentation on the matter.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You suspect that your idea will work well for absolutely everyone involved, though you’re currently lacking in the influence needed to execute it. Can you make it seem like the leader’s idea?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). A hunch is not a magic visitor from the land of intuition. A hunch is a converging combination of different kinds of intelligence. You will feel that a thing is true before you witness it or can explain it to anyone else.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). There are matters best observed with the closest attention you can give them, which will not nearly be enough to understand them at first. Assume there is more to know, and then keep coming back.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 17). One of your many superpowers is knowing when the party is over. You’ll use that instinct to make money, move through adventures and generally execute acts of terrific timing. A stellar deal closes in September. You’ll launch a vision before the close of 2019, and a team will assemble to make it real. Aquarius and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 37, 1, 12 and 19.
