Happy birthday for Sunday, Aug. 14, 2005:

You have the ability to find creative solutions to whatever might be burdening you. Often, you make situations more serious than they are this year. You will need to tap into your imagination for solutions. If you're artistic, you will want to create a substantial piece of work, and you probably will. If single, you often put new friends on pedestals, not seeing them for who they really are. Take your time getting to know new people. Make no commitments this year. If attached, you will want to allow your sweetie to come in closer. For those at the right age, a new addition could appear on the horizon. Sagittarius is always fun.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ■■■ – Be aware of how much a project or get-together could cost. You might be up for inviting others over. Just don’t absorb all the costs. Ask others to pitch in. Partners and friends will run right in and help.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ■■■■ – Don’t stay home; get out. What you do isn’t as important as having some time away from your day-to-day life. Relax with others and follow your sixth sense. You will know when to head home.
