HOROSCOPE

Sunday, Aug. 11, 2013

Aries (March 21-April 19) You might mean well, but others will test your patience. You could find yourself angry at an evolving emotional situation. Let others run with the ball and figure it out. They are instrumental in letting the situation develop.

Tonight: Go along for the ride.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You could be a little tired from socializing and having to honor your responsibilities. There is nothing wrong with relaxing and taking some time away from others. Be aware that someone at a distance might want your attention.

Tonight: Put your feet up.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You’ll want to think before you leap; however, that might be easier said than done, as impulsiveness is one of your dominant traits. You will be prone to having fun and perhaps teasing a loved one a little too much.

Tonight: Live life as if there were no tomorrow.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You might not realize how you are coming off. You could be far more irritable than you realize, as a result of having to deal with a difficult situation. You will want to understand why a family member seems so closed off.

Tonight: Stay close to home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You’ll be busier than

you thought possible. You need to be careful in expressing your dissatisfaction with a certain situation, as it could cause a rift where you do not want one. Choose your words with care, and use good timing.

Tonight: Meet some friends for dinner.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You might want to evaluate what you are spending and also figure out the emotional cost of going for what you want. You will feel pushed by several friends to go along with their plans. Do what is best for you. Do not play into a control game.

Tonight: Treat a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You could become reactive to a parent or someone you often put on a pedestal. This person can be quite provocative, which tends to lead to interesting results. Think in terms of making a situation change by adjusting your attitude.

Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might want to continue settling in and not forcing yourself to do anything. Of course, someone might be disappointed if you change your plans. It will be important to give yourself time to assess and evaluate the situation.

Tonight: Maintain a low-key presence.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Friends surround you, and they want to incorpo--

rate you into their plans. If you say no, you can be sure that someone will let you know how hurt he or she feels. There is no reasoning with this person right now. Think before you react.

Tonight: Only what you want.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might be taken aback by everything that is going on around you. You might need to go into work or deal with an older friend or relative who simply is off-kilter. All the logic in the world will not make this situation work.

Tonight: A must appearance.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You have a way of pulling back that allows you to see the whole picture. When you make decisions from this point of view, you usually fare quite well. Move quickly, and handle a difficult situation before someone becomes even angrier.

Tonight: Movie time!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You might want to head in a new direction, but you’ll need more support from a partner or loved one. You are likely to receive some irritation when discussing this desire. The seed will be planted, so you don’t need to push any harder.

Tonight: Have a one-on-one conversation.
