JACQUELINE BIGAR

Your Horoscope for Tuesday, August 6

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ For an active sign like you, allowing someone else to carry a favorite cause or issue to its end can often be difficult. Today, you’ll decide to do just that in order to eliminate some confusion.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★ Others enjoy being around you; however, your behavior of late incorporates a great deal of unexpected actions and decisions. Notice a hesitancy sometimes when a close associate approaches you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★★ You might be unusually creative and responsive, at least in the a.m. Midday, your focus will be on completing a task and making an important call.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Getting going could be challenging. Some of you won’t be able to resist rolling over and turning off the alarm. Once you get going, you seem fiery and ready to take action.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You start the day feeling empowered but notice that your recent charm seems to fall flat. Emphasize personal, domestic and familial matters.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ Once you get going and handle a money matter, you seem far more personable. Still, you could be stunned by someone else’s perspective.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★ You might hear confusing data about a business matter. No matter how much you attempt to rectify this, you might not be able to get it straightened out.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ You could be more difficult than you realize, but because of an associate’s idea, you get the message. Know that you have more self-control than you realize.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★ Sit back; resist reacting to the uproar around you. You could decide to clear out a problem, and doing so might involve a call to an expert.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ You could be zeroing in on a hassle or some gossip that might be tripping you up. You know what you want and expect from another person.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★ You might want to try another approach; it could work far better than what you’ve been doing. You could shake up the status quo.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Reach out for someone at a distance. You could feel more pushed and challenged than you usually do. You’ll appreciate any possible feedback.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Aug. 6) This year, you can be amenable sometimes, but at other times, you appear withdrawn. Others might not be sure what facet of your personality they’ll encounter.
