Horoscope: July 16

Aries (March 21-April 19): Just because you feel an emotion doesn’t mean you are that emotion. Distance yourself so that you can listen to your feelings.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You value your own company and are not always compelled to go out with another person. You’ll capture someone’s fascination.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You don’t have to idolize someone to see them as worthy of your attention. You are eager to follow the leader because you’ll learn something in the process.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Everyone seems to be hectically running around complaining about all they have to do. Calm down, and inspire others to do the same.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Move your health and well-being to a higher place on your list of priorities. If you have to take the day off just to revive your energy, that’s as good a reason as any.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You will enjoy a highly structured environment. You will gravitate to situations where much will be expected of you, and you’ll excel.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You will be appreciated for qualities that are so much a part of you that you hardly think you should take credit for them.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You want to prove that you’re doing well. The more you try to impress the less impressive you will be.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Because you can think so much faster than another person can talk, it will be challenging to stay focused.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll strike upon a winning solution. Innovation comes from experimentation. The right way has already been discovered.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Not everyone can tap into the spirit of joy at will. You can today, though, and there’s no reason not to.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): An emotion you associate with immaturity may in fact have more wisdom and intelligence coursing through it than the logical mind could ever drum up.

Today’s birthday (July 16): Your friendship is a valued commodity that will be sought after and cherished. The next five weeks issue a challenge to stay mentally and physically on point. A renovation or change of location happens in January. Sagittarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 14, 38, 4 and 17.
