DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, July 11, 2019: This year, your intensity and creativity point to some intriguing happenings, success and more satisfaction. If single, romance intensifies from fall onward. Those at the correct age could meet Mr. or Ms. Right. If attached, you enjoy your significant other more and more as the days go by. Many DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker of you could be greeting new additions to your family. For some, it could be a new pet. For others, it could be a baby. Use care if you don’t want a new addition. SCORPIO intrigues you and encourages you to take a risk.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH Relate individually to others, avoiding a meeting, if possible. The results you will gain from one-on-one talks will be far more conclusive than you would get oth- SCARY GARY Mark Buford erwise. Your sense of humor comes through and helps others calm down and evaluate. Tonight: With an adored friend. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH You could be trying to be more forthright and direct with a key associate, but he or she might not understand what is happening. You will find that others are clearly challenging. Work with the unex- pected. Greet change positively. Tonight: Sort through invitations. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Crosswords HHH To no one’s surprise except yours, exhaustion marks your actions, work and DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni decisions. The best solution would be to take the day off. You might not like the end results, but in the long run, you’re better off. Tonight: Nap and then get as much done as possible. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHHH What you find challenging, another person could find boring. Don’t make a big deal of these differences; they add to your uniqueness. Your philosophical outlook might be very different from most people’s. Tonight: Let off steam. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH You could be in the position of making an important decision that you B.C. Mastroianni and Hart would prefer to postpone. Discussions eas- ily could short-circuit. Choose your words with care. If expressing anger or frustration, know that you need to be careful. Tonight: Happy at home. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHHH A situation could easily go south if you don’t choose your words with care. Understand your limitations, though a lot could be cleared up if you do opt for a chat. The other party might be highly receptive. Tonight: Touch base with a loved one. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHHH You could be taken aback by all that is going on. One-on-one relating could Rick Detorie hold an unusual surprise for you. You also ONE BIG HAPPY might note how very possessive you can be about a certain person. Is that behavior interfering with the bond between you? To- night: Be as open as possible. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHHH Your intensity often pushes people away. They might be overwhelmed, yet on the other hand, those who enjoy this quality cannot get close enough. Be as open as possible when having an intense con- versation. Tonight: You can do (nearly) no wrong. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHH If you need to close down and take Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett time off, by all means do. You could be ANDY CAPP stunned by what comes out. Be careful if you lose your temper; you might say some- thing you will regret later. Tonight: Make plans for the weekend. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH Open up to new possibilities as they appear. You might want to rethink a particular hassle that might have reappeared in your life. Focus on your long-term goals and you cannot go wrong. Your smile helps melts others’ barriers. Tonight: Where the crowds are. Cryptoquip AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Look at the trends at the moment. You could feel as if someone is pushing ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe you in a certain direction. Consider the long term and what you deserve. You will know what to do. Tonight: Keep smiling. All will work out. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHH You might want to clear certain judgments that might not be valid but are automatic on your part. You don’t have the control you desire to handle a certain per- sonal matter at this time. Tonight: Go where you can listen to great music.
