Horoscope
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Aug. 9, 2012: This year you often say one thing yet do another. Your mixed messages could cause confusion and a sense of unfulfillment. You might feel like you never get what you want, which could be a reflection of problematic communication. If single, you could attract someone through your work or public commitments. If you are attached, as a couple you decide to be more visual than in recent years. Taurus approves of how you present yourself. A baby born today has a sun in Leo and a moon in Taurus all day.
