Happy birthday for Sunday, Aug. 7, 2005:

You have an unusual year in which you often might need to say no to others' financial requests. You could also be surprised by your insurance policies and taxes. You need to take charge of your financial life rather than have it run you. You might want to take a class in accounting this fall. You will want to learn more. An investment involving property or real estate will pay off if made after October. Build your security. If single, you will date a lot, but you might need to go through the four seasons to determine if this person is right for you. If attached, work as a team on finances, and you'll become closer. Virgo helps you with detail work.

Aries (March 21-April 19) ■■■ – Whenever you start something, your mind wanders. You have recently had many different insights; perhaps events will bring another one today. Your nerves need soothing. Take care of yourself first.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ■■■■■ – If you’re vested in a decision, making plans could be close to impossible. One person wants to do this, and another person wants to do something totally different. Decide what is important for you.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ■■ – You might decide to hide out and not get involved in others’ personal agendas. You might need to think through your priorities and establish new, stronger boundaries. Demands come out of left field.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ■■■■■ – You will have to adjust your plans to accommodate others. Be positive and make it your pleasure. Success comes from floating from one situation to another. Know who you want to be with.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ■■ – Be very careful handling money, as you could easily lose some or be pickpocketed. Refuse to make any decisions, and encourage those around you to chill out. You might get an unpleasant surprise.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ■■■■■ – You could find someone a bit capricious, as this person wants to do what he or she wants and not what you desire. Remember, you can have a good time nearly anywhere. Go with the flow.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ■■ – Knowing when to stay where you are is important. Continue the low profile. You could be subject to nervous energy. Take a walk; do yoga – do what helps you relax. It is important for you to unwind today.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ■■■■ – You might be more balanced than many people surrounding you. Focus on your ultimate goal for the day. Follow through, even if someone doesn’t agree. You don’t need a consensus.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ■■■ – You might want to disappear, but you won’t be able to. A family member might throw a tantrum, as he or she wants you home. Explain all you want; it might not make a difference.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ■■■■■ – News from a distance might put immediate plans on hold. Right now, your ability to flex is being tested. The more you flow, the better the end results will be, and the better you will feel.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ■■■■■ – A partner or dear friend could toss your plans into chaos. You also might wonder how to handle it. Let this person have his or her way, but be careful with how much money you are spending.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ■■■ – You might be put out by a partner, and you let this person know it. Make it OK to head in your own direction. What others don’t realize is how much you are changing, and so are your choices.
