Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Aug. 14, 2010: You always put your best foot forward, but even more so in the next 12 months. If single, make sure someone is all that you think he or she is. If attached, the two of you connect more and more on a very emotional level. Plan special times together, and perhaps go for that special trip. Scorpio demands a lot.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Refuse to be alone. Accept an invitation that appeals to you. You can also come up with a unique solution. A friend has as much imagination as you, if not more.

TAURUS (April 20-May 21) • • • Throw yourself into a project. An older relative, friend or boss could be delighted to join in. Two minds are better than one.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) • • • • • When others fall short, you come through. Your mental agility and ability to see past the obvious allow you to come up with unique solutions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • You are coming from a logical, grounded position. A partner might not have the same grasp on reality. Utilize one of his or her ideas, which could be excellent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • Where others trip over themselves trying to make a point, you inspire those around you with the same message. Perhaps it is the presentation. Today you’ve got what it takes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • You just might decide to join a new health club or try a new eating pattern. Whatever is going on, you might not have the control you think you do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Your smile melts another person’s resistance. In fact, right now you are the cat’s meow. Don’t use this ploy too often!

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • Take today for yourself, and perhaps spend time with a special person. Don’t allow others to turn this quiet moment into a carnival.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Do only what you want, and nothing else. You will naturally feel good. Stop, though, and think about what you want; don’t lose sight of that objective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • You still might be catching up on what others have left undone. Rather than feel the impact, you will do it yourself. Use caution around money, as it could easily float out of your wallet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Follow your natural instincts and give in to wanderlust. You simply cannot follow the same routine all the time. Opt for adventure. You might want to invite a friend along.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • Someone lets you know in no uncertain terms that he or she wants time with you. Actually, you have little choice, if you want to keep the peace.
