Astrology: Take a look at your daily horoscope
Happy birthday:
for Friday, Aug. 10.
This year you won’t be complaining of boredom. You even could be found praying for some downtime. Your active life allows you to meet several people from different walks of life. If you are single, you will want to explore different lifestyles and people. Travel will allow you to meet several potential suitors. If you are attached, the two of you could be greatly influenced by a workshop, course or trip. You see your life through new eyes, and this perspective can reinvigorate your relationship. A fellow LEO encourages you to jump past a self-imposed barrier.
Aries (March 21-April 19):

Taurus (April 20-May 20):
★★★ You might have difficulty letting go of pressure, as so much could be occurring within your personal or domestic life. Relax -- you cannot change the situation for now, but soon you will see an opening. Maintain a sense of humor. Tonight: Head home early and plan on a cozy night.
Gemini (May 21-June 20):

★★★ You, of all signs, feel the ebb and flow of the tides, but you also respond to the gravitational pull of the planets. Be aware of what is going on around you. Many people feel out of kilter but do not know why. Indulge a friend, and do what he or she wants. Tonight: Dinner for two.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19):
★★★★ The reason that you like both the staid and the predictable is that you know how to deal with those factors in your life. When the unexpected starts rampaging through your life, you might not be so confident. Just consider how exhilarating change can be! Tonight: Out late.
