Daily Horoscope for Tuesday, July 12, 2005

Moon Alert

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Yesterday's disappointment still chafes. Today, you're cruising for a bruising. The first person who crosses you "To the moon, Alice!" This means domestic tension, especially with parents and family members. Hot tip: Zip your lip. Patience!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Did you know anger does not arise in a happy mind? Today, you feel vaguely aggressive, and you're not sure why. (Actually, some of you are sure. After all, you gave birth to them.) Lighten up. Don't try to win an argument. Don't start an argument. Don't argue.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You feel aggressive about a financial matter. You won't brook any interference from others about how you want to spend your money. Just do your thing. Don't get upset with others. Keep your head down and your powder dry.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is the classic day for ego conflicts with authority figures. Who needs this? Not you. Therefore, run don't walk from prickly situations the minute you smell trouble. Sort this out later in the week. Feelings are too high today. It's always wise to pick your fights. (Timing is everything.)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Discussions about politics or religion could get you in hot water. You're like a dog with a bone. You just can't let it go. (Considering the world scene today -- this is understandable.) But shouting won't make others hear you. Back off. You can't save the world before bedtime.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Be very careful talking to groups and friends today. Be extra careful if you have to make a presentation or something. People are easily critical today. Their claws are out and they're ready to attack. Don't give anyone the ammunition. Keep it light. Would you like another coffee? Cookie?

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

It's a curious thing about your sign. You don't like arguments. You need harmony. Yet, you're an excellent debater. Resist the temptation to argue with bosses and authority figures today. Your victory will be hollow. Instead, use this energy to work and get things done. (Far smarter.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Frustrations with publishing, media matters, travel, foreign countries, higher education, the law and medicine (have we covered everything?) might provoke arguments between you and others today. This is a poor day for a fight. Wait for the end of the week to put your gloves on.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

This is the classic day for lovers' quarrels. Parents might also be impatient with children. Athletes are unusually competitive; and artists might be petty about each other's work. In other words, there's no give and take today. Lighten up. Put a smile in your voice.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

If you can avoid disagreements with partners and family members today, and instead channel this aggressive energy into work -- you'll get an enormous amount done! And you'll be happy. Or, you can pick a fight with someone and be miserable. What's it going to be?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Everybody always talks about how stubborn Taurus is. How do you get away with this? You can be enormously stubborn! (You've got a good cover.) Quit trying to convince others to agree with you today. Don't be a bore. Remember what your main objective is. You want cooperation -- right?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Feelings of rebellion could make you spend money just to show somebody that you can do it if you want to. So there. Nobody's going to tell you what to do. So there. Especially at work. So there. So what if you spend a lot on entertainment? So there.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Comedian/actor Bill Cosby (1937) shares your birthday. You have an amazing influence over others whether you try to achieve this or not. You have the skills - charm, intelligence, and power of persuasion - to convince others. Most of you will use this for a higher purpose. Big issues (life and death) intrigue you. The year ahead is full of fresh starts and new beginnings.
