Horoscope: July 15

Aries (March 21-April 19): You will confront many obstacles to your success. That you are willing to do so head-on is your main strength.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): An unexpected snafu takes up more time than you had planned. There is a litany of frustrations that you could blame this on, and yet you rise above it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You could chase many dreams at once, but your lack of detectable progress would frustrate you.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You are not as reactive to the goings-on around you as others seem to be. You learn what you need to know, and you see the process as the means to an end.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoiding obligations is a good tactic now, since it’s likely that you feel more obligated than is appropriate.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): When the others around you are nervous, you feel it. You want to do something to alleviate the feeling, but the best thing you could do is experience it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): The quest for perfection is self-defeating. Strive to be more in touch with your human frailty and fallibility.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Your self-worth is not determined by the acceptance of those around you, although it is only human to be influenced by such external cues.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You have more gumption than you did yesterday, but don’t let that influence you when it’s time to make a promise.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Social ups and downs are inevitable, and today such fluctuations are not to be taken too personally.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You are a master at reading people now. You’ll detect the nuances of other people’s attitudes, and you’ll note what you observe.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): No matter how close a relationship is, you are still two people, and you need a degree of the freedom to explore autonomously.

Today’s birthday (July 15): You will detach from unhealthy preoccupations and center your life on what truly makes you happy. You’ll work out stress through physical fitness and sports, and you’ll love your new shape. A relationship becomes a main event in October. November brings a windfall. Pisces and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 1, 22, 49 and 38.
