Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 15, 2012: This year you could feel everything intensely – more than you have in a long time. You also might tend to get angry far more easily. You might be dealing with a low-level depression. If so, make a point to see the appropriate person for help. Why carry around extra baggage if you don’t need to? If single, screen the people you meet and take your time getting to know a potential suitor. Remember, time is your ally. If attached, the two of you need private time as a couple. CANCER makes a good healer for you. A baby born today has a sun in Leo and a moon in Cancer if born before 11:05 a.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Leo.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Deal with a personal matter. You easily could be overwhelmed by what is on your plate. A partner or close loved one could become withdrawn.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • Important communication needs to take place in the morning. In the afternoon, you’ll want to concentrate and could close the door if you are at the office.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • Make sure you stay on top of your finances. They could go up and down rather quickly right now.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Use the daylight hours to the max. Be careful with your anger – it could cause you to overspend or overindulge right now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • You could be oversensitive or difficult, even into the afternoon. You might not realize that you are testing your limits.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Make an important call in the morning. What you did not count on is a brainstorming session emerging from an obstacle you encounter.
