JACQUELINE BIGAR
Your Horoscope for Friday, August 18
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You could be distracted by your inner voice. Your instincts will send you a very different message from what seems realistic. Air out your feelings carefully.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Consider your alternatives carefully. A friend who might be flaky in one person’s opinion could be reliable in another person’s mind.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your more-possessive side emerges when dealing with a partner or close associate. Listen to news carefully; finances could be involved — specifically, yours. Clear out the issue before it evolves.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You welcome feedback from someone who often perceives what you don’t. Clearly, you and others come from different places.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You’ll sense a lot happening around you. You might misconstrue what is occurring. Your imagination is a ceaseless wonder to many people, and it serves you well more often than not.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A meeting could be more important than you realize. Not only is what you hear important, but so is the process by which you sort through that information.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You sense an innate tension. Know that you might be attaching these feelings to different situations or people. Others might not feel what you feel or even make the same deductions.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You could be responsible for much more than what you are willing to admit. You have made a decision about the kind of life you want to live, and you make choices accordingly.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) One-on-one relating takes you down new path, though you might have a reactive moment. Try to let go of wanting to have control over someone else. Feelings run high, and your ability to move past an issue and let go will be tested once more.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Others continue to seek you out for various reasons. You might hear all sorts of ideas and request for feedback and acknowledgment. Your perspective could change because of how someone presents him- or herself.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Use care with your finances, as you have a goal in mind that could cause you to go overboard. Someone from a distance might trigger your imagination. This person makes you feel lucky and appreciated.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) One-on-one relating presents a new opportunity. Be flattered by someone else’s sharing. Take a stand when dealing with a difficult situation that involves a friend or loved one.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Aug. 18) This year you might choose to act on a longterm desire. Check in with yourself and make sure that you still have the same goals. Know that your chosen path has a strong chance of being successful.
