Georgia Nicols horoscopes for July 14, 2016

Moon Alert

Until 5 p.m. Chicago time, we have the “all clear” to do business. The Moon is in Scorpio.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Today you will have no trouble defending your own rights in disputes about taxes, debt, insurance and inheritances. “Bring it on!” You will be equally incisive and forthright in defending the rights of others if need be. Oh yes!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You have to be prepared to compromise with others today or, or, or else! (Yes. It’s that simple.) Whoever you are dealing with will be adamant and staunch in their opinions. Recognize this right from the beginning and save your breath. “Would you like fries with that?” (Hey, do what you can to get along.)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are determined to work effectively and efficiently to be productive today. You’ve got your ducks lined up in a row and you intend to achieve something. Ah yes, don’t leave home without your To-Do list and your huff (in case everything fails and you have to leave in it).

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

This is a fantastic day for competitive sports and anything that requires strong energy, especially in the pursuit of fun and games. You’ll be productive in the entertainment world and the hospitality industry as well as working with children. Romance will be hot as well!

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

When comes to issues at home, you know what you want and you will speak your mind. However, a female member, probably a family member, is also opinionated today. What makes this equation the easiest is if you are the opinionated female family member. “Now listen up!”

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

In conversation with others today, you will be direct and firm. You will say what you mean and mean what you say. You won’t hesitate to express your opinions and, dare we say, constructive criticism. (We did.) Go easy on the little people.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

When it comes to spending money or even earning it today, your emotions are tied up with your common sense. Do be aware of this. Because you are determined to do something, perhaps even competitively, you might put your money on the line. Hmmm, is this wise?

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today the Moon is in your sign lined up with Mars in your sign. This makes you aggressive, impulsive and possibly rash. You will express your opinions and you might even do so with outbursts of anger. (You do realize that others find this to be quite tedious.)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Behind-the-scenes secrets (possibly gossip) have you in their grip today. Or maybe you are trying to do something secretly without any fanfare? If so, you will probably succeed because you’re willing to put out the effort and pay the price.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

An exchange with a female friend or a member of a group will be intense today. You have strong opinions and so do others. You might even be in competition with someone. Whatever the case, try to separate your emotions from your reasoning powers, although this will be difficult. Good luck.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Discussions with bosses, parents and VIPs will be lively and aggressive today. Although you’re keen to speak your peace, make sure that you don’t burn any bridges. When dealing with people with influence, this isn’t wise. But you know this, don’t you?

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Avoid controversial subjects like politics, religion and race today because you will not back down. You have strong opinions and you intend to express them. Keep in mind that you can never reason anyone out of an opinion that is unreasonable in the first place. ‘Nuff said.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Jane Lynch (1960) shares your birthday today. You easily convince others to your way of thinking because you are charming, confident, humorous and seductive. This is a year of choice. You will likely make an important decision. In the first half of the year, reduce your overhead expenses so that you are financially strong later in the year. Happiness is having alternatives.
