HOROSCOPE

Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2013

Aries (March 21-April 19) Your intensity cannot be hidden. Even if another party has a one- or two-sentence conversation with you, your fervency and passion come through. Confusion might arise easily. The more you try to clarify, the more chaos seems to arise.

Tonight: Togetherness works.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) You have a subtle yet strong manner that marks your conversations and actions. Others know when you are serious. Confusion marks a money matter.

Tonight: Defer to another person’s suggestion.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) You know the toll of pushing others too hard, and once more you see the impact of this behavior. A close associate gives you the cold shoulder. Push comes to shove when you deal with another person whom you care about. This person has an attitude that demands calls, gifts and other tokens of affection too often.

Tonight: Know when to quit working.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) You are the poster child for transparency. You cannot help but show your feelings. Caring seems to flow. A friend or associate will bend more than usual, but this might not always be the case. Have an important discussion.

Tonight: Paint the town red.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) You could be taken aback by another person’s sug----

gestion. In a sense you might find this person a bit intrusive, probably because his or her perception hits close to home. A partner doesn’t know how to respond to your upset and thoughts.

Tonight: Order in.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Conversations are lively, even if they are somewhat stilted. You might not know what to say. A neighbor or a close relative gets an attitude at one of the worst moments possible. Invite others to join you for a fun happening, maybe this Friday.

Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You cannot have a say in every matter, though you might like to. You see a series of events as a continuum. With this perspective, you might not pay attention to some important details, which could be critical. Pressure builds, as a boss or a parent wants your attention.

Tonight: Leave the day behind and join a friend for a drink and munchies.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You seem to be very centered and know which way to go. Others will follow your lead and indirectly give you support. Stop and take time to see the big picture before making a decision.

Tonight: Whatever knocks your socks off.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Take your time thinking about an impending change. You see a potential issue involving funds. You tend to be less positive than a partner, yet you have

more insight into the negatives. For this reason, you are generally more prepared. Confusion surrounds a conversation.

Tonight: Let go of concerns for an evening.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Aim for exactly what you want. Listen to news and consider how you want to use the information. You demonstrate the ability to integrate different elements into a successful, winning proposition. Others respond positively to your direction.

Tonight: Find your friends.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Be aware of your limitations with a friend or loved one. Listen to news more openly, and make decisions accordingly. Honor a change that seems necessary. Trust in your resilience to get around a difficulty. You are on top of your game, even if you feel a little insecure.

Tonight: Others follow your lead.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Listen to news with a grain of salt. You are hearing information that until now has not been shared. Your ingenuity takes this information and funnels it appropriately to create a winning situation. Trust in your ability to grasp deeper concepts.

Tonight: Let your mind wander, and follow its lead (within reason!).
