Happy birthday for Friday, Aug. 17, 2007:

New beginnings become possible through communication. Many of you might opt for new computers, cars and different forms of self-expression. Signing up for a workshop in communication is not far-fetched. You care and want others to know how you feel. Your ability to have fun is enhanced to a new level. A child could play an important role in your next year. Get into a hobby; share a favorite pastime. If you are single, your jovial, upbeat style draws admirers. You could meet someone this year while running to the cleaners. If you are attached, spending more time alone, just the two of you, adds to the warmth of your bond. Libra loves to engage in conversation with you.

Aries (March 21-April 19) “““““ Others seem unusually clear or dynamic. Notice the power of two rather than one. If you team up with someone, whether dealing with a work-related issue or simply having a good time, you’ll make waves.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) “““ Your easygoing way helps others relax. You easily get your work done, too. Consider a property investment more carefully. A family member enjoys your attention.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) “““““ Your creativity emerges and finds solutions with ease. If you have a tendency to be flirtatious, you might be shocked by your own wildness. Be sensitive to others and their limits. Some people are working on a different track.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ““““ Stay anchored, knowing your limits. How you treat someone might change once you get a sense of where this person is coming from. Discuss your budget with someone who understands spending.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) “““““ You have a way of saying what you feel and making an impact on the many people in your life. Roll with a situation, knowing your limits exactly. A smile can loosen up a situation far better than a discussion.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) “““ Your instincts may encourage spending right now. How wrong can they be? Perhaps you simply want to let someone know just how much you care, but be careful about letting your checkbook become totally liquid.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) “““““ You know when you are on a roll, and right now others do too. Whether you are aware of it, you have many supporters and friends. Suddenly you understand what someone has been trying to tell you.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) “““ Step back. Though you might have some strong opinions, you might not be in the right place to express them. A partner or associate takes a strong stand. Your creativity surges, but don’t skip over a vital detail.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) “““““ Aim high. A meeting might be provocative on some level. Understand what someone is saying. You might do a reversal. Don’t close yourself off from new ideas.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ““““ Responsibilities fall on your shoulders. Others are pleased to see how well you handle yourself and what your natural choices are. You might want to revise your thinking, but certainly not your investments.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) “““““ Forge new ground, and you will be comfortable while many are not. If your mind is convinced this direction is the correct one, you’ll know no risk and little anxiety. A partner admires your strength.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) ““““ Work with one other person. Know what you want, which could involve a partnership. This person might be more amenable than you think. You discover what a delightful surprise you have ahead of you.
