HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Aug. 2, 2010: This year, you encounter obstacles when you least expect them. The demands of a situation could create a lot of stress. If single, you will meet people with ease, though you don’t need to jump into a committed relationship too quickly. If attached, the two of you will become much closer if you take a workshop or plan a getaway together. Taurus is more stubborn than you. Trust that.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • Understand the demands that are made on you. Remember, they are only demands. You make them into more. You could choose to lose that energy.

TAURUS (April 20-May 21) • • • • • Your insights remain key, though you could run into obstacles. Information heads in your direction that forces you to revise your thinking.

GEMINI (May 22-June 20) • • • Listen to others, specifically a partner. You wonder why and how this person has such a complete understanding of an issue you are trying to grasp.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Defer to others, understanding that you, too, have limits. You could have difficulty getting into the swing of an intense day. Know that others are observing you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • You might feel that you have your hands full, as everyone seems to dump their work on you. You can handle the pressure, but be wise and set limits.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • If you’re feeling entrenched or locked, do move away from the situation mentally, and possibly physically as well. You demand perfection of yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • You suddenly reveal more of your thoughts. Others could challenge you. The more questions, the more someone plays devil’s advocate, the better off you are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Take a hint, and know when to back off. There is a point where you will have had enough. You could become caught up in a power play. Back off while you can.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.21) • • • Maintain your focus on the big picture. You might be wondering if you can keep up this hectic pace. You take a stand. Explain where you are coming from.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • • • Your creativity comes through when a jam appears. A boss or someone you care about could challenge you. A partner develops a major chip on his or her shoulder.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Stay centered, knowing full well what you want. You could be tired and drawn. You might want to pull back or distance yourself from a difficult situation.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • • • Keep reaching out for others. You might want to rethink a relationship. You might be in a phase where you are both changing. You could become closer once more.
