HOROSCOPES

What kind of day will today be? To find out what the stars say, read the forecast given for your birth sign. For Thursday, August 2, 2018

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)

Today the Moon still is in your sign, which makes you more emotional. However, the good news is that it increases your good luck just a little bit. (Maybe a little bit is all it takes.)

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)

Keep your ears open, because you will learn a secret today. Or perhaps you might learn something that is not intended for you to know. Be discreet. Be respectful.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)

Today you might have a heated discussion with a female friend. It might be about changing goals or direction, especially within a group. Be patient with others.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22)

Be patient when talking to parents and bosses today. Resist the urge to make a sharp retort. Don't burn your bridges. Avoid public arguments.

LEO (July 23 to Aug. 22)

Today the Moon is in your fellow fire sign, Aries. This is supportive for you. Grab any opportunity to travel or explore further education and training.

VIRGO (Aug. 23 to Sept. 22)

Tie up loose details regarding red-tape issues like insurance, debt, taxes and shared property. You also might have to deal with inheritances. Fortunately, you have an eye for detail.

LIBRA (Sept. 23 to Oct. 22)

Because the Moon is opposite your sign today, friendships and partnerships will be more important to you. You might be more inclined to take things personally, because you care.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23 to Nov. 21)

What can you do to improve your health? For that matter, what can you do to improve your job and how you do your job? Think about this today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22 to Dec. 21)

This is a creative, playful day for you! Enjoy romantic adventures, sports events and fun activities with children.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 to Jan. 19)

A family discussion, probably with a female family member, will be important today. It might focus on money or possessions. Clear up any misunderstandings. (The sooner, the better.)

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20 to Feb. 18)

Your discussions with others are important today, which is why you want to discuss real issues and real-life matters. You don't want to waste time talking about the weather.

PISCES (Feb. 19 to March 20)

Money issues are on your mind today. Don't worry if you feel possessive about something that you own and don't want to lend it. It happens.

YOU BORN TODAY: You have a strong, magnetic personality; plus, you are kind and compassionate. It's time to live life fully! This is because you are entering a funloving, social year. Begin by appreciating the happiness and beauty around you. Be grateful for who you are and what you have. Count on enjoying the blessing of heightened popularity and warm friendships this year.
