Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 16, 2013: This year your adventuresome nature emerges, only to be tamed by good sense and a reflective mental process. You might be doing a lot of evaluating, especially your actions and their ramifications on your life. Be honest with yourself as to what doesn’t work and what does. If single, you could attract someone very interesting who might not reveal him- or herself as completely as you would like. If attached, indulge your sweetie, who deals with your multifaceted and changeable nature. He or she deserves it, not that you are not delightful to hang with. Capricorn always adds a sober tone in the middle of chaos. A baby born today has the sun in Leo and the moon in Sagittarius until 8:25 p.m., when the moon enters Capricorn.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Reach out for someone else or seek out another perspective if you are not comfortable with what you are hearing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • You have reason to maintain a low profile. In a sense, you are a tiger crouched behind a bush, ready to pounce when the timing is right.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • You might be getting a little too much attention for your taste. Nevertheless, you gracefully move forward and assume the lead.
