Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, July 20, 2004

Moon Alert

We have the All Clear to shop or make important decisions today.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

It's all "Hail fellow, well met" today with whomever you encounter. Your good feelings rub off on to others. (Enthusiasm is a contagious thing.) Your upbeat attitude is particularly appreciated by coworkers and people connected with your job. You're the smiling face for everyone else.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Caution against blowing money for something gorgeous and extravagant, even if the quality is irresistible. (This piece from northern Laos came from silkworms where it was spun by hand, then dyed naturally before it was hand woven into this magnificent -- what exactly is this?)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Try to do something you really enjoy doing. Put all your shoulds aside and focus on your wants. You might not have much self-discipline today but that's okay. Indulge yourself! This is one of those days when you have to go off your diet. (Back on again tomorrow.)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a feel good day. This is also a good day in practical terms. Business dealings with the government or large institutions go well. Just be careful that you don't give away the farm. When dealing with VIPs remember: facts are stubborn; statistics are more pliable.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is a great day to enjoy time spent with friends, groups and organizations. Attend conferences and meetings. People are unusually cavalier and hey nonny nonny. Watch financial dealings however, because everyone exaggerates a bit today. (Actually, a lot.)

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be careful about promises you make to bosses and VIPs. Likewise, be careful about promises that bosses and VIPs make to you. Either way, somebody is going overboard. It might be innocent and well meaning; or it could be a clever, snow job. (Ooo - a sting!)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You want to be free! You want to go where you want, say what you think, and do what you like. (Sounds good to me.) Opportunities connected with publishing, travel, foreign countries, higher education, and possibly law or medicine look too good to be true. (Maybe they are.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a fabulous, bonanza day for you. Good stuff comes your way! Friends are supportive; even strangers are helpful. People want to give you things. Never look at gift horse in the mouth. Just throw a saddle settle on it and ride off into the sunset. Yeehaw!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You'll love today. Your ruling planet Jupiter is on cozy terms with fair Venus. That means it's schmooze city for your sign. Whether you're talkin' to the boss or the doorman, you're in the right place, saying the right thing, to the right person, at the right time. (How sweet it is.)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is a playful day at work. Everyone loves you. The only downside is you don't feel like working. You want a mental-health day to soak up some rays or goof off. It's also a bad day for dieters. First a Margarita and nachos with everything, then cheesecake. (Light on the whipped cream.)

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Be careful playing a long shot in financial speculation today. Things could look more promising than they are. However, with respect to lighthearted entertainment, fun and romance -- this is a marvelous day. Be open to good times. Be a kid again.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You feel especially warmhearted with family members today. However, you might impulsively be more generous than you can afford to be. Of course, generosity is a good thing -- feel free to give somebody a hand -- but a kidney? (Just a joke. It's good to be an organ donor.)

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Natalie Wood (1938) shares your birthday. You're an earthy sophisticate. You work hard to excel at what you do. You have an adventurous spirit and practical soul. Once you embrace your goal, you are relentless in your pursuit of it. You are a good partner. Your inner core is strong and calm. A social year lies ahead -- fun, romance and parties!
