Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 9, 2013: This year you could be more detail oriented than you have been in many years. Others might find you to be fussy. If single, you could attract someone who is emotionally unavailable. If attached, the two of you could get into petty squabbles. You might opt to spend more weekends together as a couple. Virgo does not realize it, but he or she often rains on your parade. A baby born today has a sun in Leo and a moon in Virgo all day.
