Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope

Happy birthday:

for Saturday, Aug. 4. This year you often share your dreams with one particular person. As a result of your sharing and the back-andforth exchange that ensues, you’ll make good choices. In fact, this year you could pull a white rabbit out of a black hat. Knowing what you want is instrumental to your success. If you are single, a concept of the type of relationship you want might be helpful in making the right choice. If you are attached, you work well as a team and will achieve an important goal. You both espouse this change. TAURUS can be challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19):

★★★ You might be weighing the pros and cons of an expen- diture. You need to be careful with your budget. Once you start breaking your budget, you could be faced with having to make another expenditure and yet another. Use caution and good sense. Tonight: Indulge in some fun.

Taurus (April 20-May 20):

★★★★ Pressure builds around a domestic issue or a matter involving real estate. You will not make a mistake if you discuss your options with the parties involved. The solution you opt to go with could have a wonderful outcome. Do some more research first. Tonight: Time to celebrate.

Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★ You don’t feel as if you are in the loop. If you observe, you will pick up the essence of what is happening. At that point, you might be thrilled to be out of the loop. A respected friend might not be revealing the whole story, for his or her own purposes. Tonight: Not to be found.

Cancer (June 21-July 22):

★★★★★ You might need to move in a new direction, especially if you listen to your friends. Recognize that dipping your toes in the water is not a problem, nor is trying out one or two of their suggestions. Give yourself the space to experience other tactics. Tonight: Say ‘’yes.’’

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22):

★★★ You might feel pressured to spend time with a loved one. Recognize that you can fit only so much activity into your day, which means that you’ll need to make a choice. Be sure to make time to visit with an older relative today or in the near future. Tonight: Kick back and relax.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22):

★★★★ You might not be sure of what you need to do. Get past a problem that seems to have no end in sight right now. Make a call. Get together with some friends. The more you visit with friends and loved ones, the less uptight you will be. Tonight: Follow a loved one’s suggestion.

Libra (Sept. 23- Oct. 22):

★★★★★ You might be a lot happier and easygoing than you realize. Listen to news, but do not make a judgment yet. Wait until the events suggested start occurring, then react. Keep to your budget, no matter what you do. Tonight: Go off and watch a baseball game or movie.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21):

★★★★ Others approach you before you can make the first move. You might wonder what to do with all the invitations that could be dropped on you. Feel flattered, but give a neutral response, unless you absolutely want to accept. Tonight: With a special person in your life.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):

★★★★ You could be overdoing things, and perhaps cannot deal with what is coming down your path. Be easier on yourself. Feel free to go off and take a longneeded and much-desired snooze. Your mood and energy could be radically transformed as a result. Tonight: Keep it exclusive.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):

★★★★ You might want to find out what is happening around you. By doing so, you could turn up where some of your friends spend their free time. Once the conversation starts flowing, you could be surprised by all the news you are hearing. Tonight: Go wherever the action is.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18):

★★★ Slow down and indulge a loved one or a roommate. Some quality time at home makes you feel a lot better than you have in quite a while. You might want to invite a friend or two over later in the day. Do not make anything difficult. Just go with the flow. Tonight: All smiles.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20):

★★★★ You have your choice of happenings to join. However, you might just want to do your own thing and explore a new spot or go for a day drive to get a change of scenery. You will opt to invite a loved one or dear friend along on your adventure. Tonight: Get into the moment.
