Today’s horoscope, July 16, 2024: So much going on inside our heads

HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY, BY HOLIDAY MATHIS

An extremely interactive Scorpio moon highlights psychic nudges almost to the point of telepathy. There’s much going on inside the minds of others that they’ll never verbalize. Those who realize this have an advantage. The gold goes to those with the sensitivity to guess what people are feeling but not saying and respond accordingly.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You have your priorities straight and your life reflects it. Everyone is busy doing something. You make time to bond with the important people in your life — probably in the playful moments between events.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). In the thrust of action, it’s easy to forget why you’re doing a thing and even easier to keep moving without a thought as to whether there might be a better way to get it done. This highlights the value of outsiders and witnesses. Tap it today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). People often don’t know what to ask until they get a taste of what’s on the menu. Unsolicited advice is typically a norm. Curiosity can be a rarity. So when you’re filled with wonder, count this as a gift.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). When traveling to a new place, it helps to know the customs. Places and people are the same in this regard. Each person has a culture, and learning another person will involve you deeply today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your humanity and the kinship of humans will be a strong theme of the day. You’ll regard your fellow travelers as partners, whether they happen to be your family, friends, coworkers or strangers.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ve got the goods, and there’s no need to oversell. Your quiet confidence will be met by another’s quiet observation. Because of the subtlety in the exchange, you’ll both need to have faith in the connection.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you could choose how others respond to you, you’d put today’s interactions on replay. It’s not just about the exchange of kindness and respect; it’s also the shared sensibility and the mutual learning.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Things that feel dangerous probably are, or could be. Then again, without risk there is no adventure, no thrill, no prize, no fun, no love. You’ll dangle your toes off the high dive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve stumbled into remarkable achievements before, but usually, they occur as a result of some kind of ambition on your part. Today, you’re a torpedo aimed at the moon, and when you hit it, they’ll name a crater after you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Exploration is a key to a good experience. If you don’t know what’s out there, you won’t be able to tell how you’re doing, relatively speaking. It is only possible to surround yourself with the best when you know all your options.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Many boundaries are unseen, and even the ones most intimately acquainted with the territory may not realize they’ve been crossed until a territorial feeling takes hold. To avoid overstepping, ask where the lines are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Since no one can help what they were born with, you avoid admiring things like talent, beauty and position and instead get behind qualities like perseverance, inner fortitude and dedicated work.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (JULY 16). Your birthday boon is a refreshing breeze blowing through your mind and setting your attitude for maximum enjoyment and minimum stress. A special friendship opens professional realms and one-of-a-kind arrangements. More highlights: A trade and a move, adventurous family happenings, promotion, and a nest egg building toward a long-term goal. Sagittarius and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 24, 31, 14 and 9.

CELEBRITY PROFILES: Will Ferrell is among the busiest players in Hollywood with well over 200 film credits in categories of acting, producing, writing and even soundtrack credits. The Cancer comedian was born when Mercury was also in Cancer, showing extraordinary sensitivity and a stellar intuitive sense, which explains his alignment with megahits like “Elf” or HBO’s “Succession.” Lucky Jupiter in Leo lends an entertaining edge.
