Horoscope: July 13, 2013

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You're organized and prepared, and your goals are well defined. A self-fulfilling prophecy will come into play.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There's a tendency to overdramatize the importance of social interactions, and mistakes will feel huge. But they are not. In fact, they hardly matter at all.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Success comes from managing expectations. Your ability to accurately frame events to come will prevent frustration and disappointment.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have mingling mojo, and you'll use it to your benefit in today's unfamiliar territory.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You're gifted in the beauty department, but you can't rely on your looks for today's challenge. Be strategic and surprising, and you'll succeed.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Get beyond worrying about how others see you. Does it really matter? If your intention is to love people and have some fun, that becomes the most noticeable thing about you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know better than to let certain people disappoint you. You'll make sure they don't have this power by remembering the patterns of the past and adjusting your expectations.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You're a risk taker. Your skills allow you to be daring.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For a project to come to life, you must break through the inertia that is holding it back. Imagination, creativity and artistry are required.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Mundane details aren't inherently scary, but you fear them for what they represent: deadly boredom! Get help with the more rudimentary tasks.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll win by keeping it simple. If you try too desperately to entertain, people will sense the complications, get tired of waiting for something real to happen and leave.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have a high regard for tradition, but you're compelled to put your own twist on the tried-and-true plan, creating an even more satisfying ritual.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (July 13). You'll be struck with inspiration - a picture of how you want your life to be - and a plan emerges this month to make it so. A friend will rise to the occasion, providing just what you need. August is a game changer, as a new responsibility brings fresh purpose. Your financial picture improves because of work you do in September. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 24, 38, 2 and 19.
