Aries (March 21-April 19): You may experience a restless mood. You may be eager to vary the routine or experiment with something unusual, such as an exotic luncheon spot.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Off with the old and on with the new. Old friendships could fall apart due to differences of opinions or disparate political views. New friendships could offer a plethora of inspiring ideas to make your dreams come true.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Past issues may reappear to cause you heartache. Address any crisis that emerges and avoid compounding the problem. Keep your nose to the grindstone and make no moves that could invite disapproval or confusion.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Drum up support from those who have an educated advantage. Someone is likely to provide the knowledge needed to get business projects off the ground. Don’t waste time debating fine points when money can be made.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): A strong sense of confidence will be your best ally when tackling business matters and issues that affect your financial security. Start short-term projects or relationships with an eye toward favorable long-term consequences.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Too much sympathy invites discord. Use your talents, dedication and determination to plow through tenuous situations. Although it may be difficult to get a point across, you will find that other people have creative ideas.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Having good taste is never a waste. Your welltrained eye for beauty and symmetry may be in demand at the office or on the job. Speak with a loved one and dispel misunderstandings before they snowball into a problem.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): The need to handle practical matters can smother enthusiasms. In hindsight, you will eventually realize it was wise to ignore what will turn out to be a wild goose chase. Remain objective in the face of disputes.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21):You
could feel that being with that special someone will solve a misunderstanding. You could make things worse if you insist on spelling out every detail and insisting on your own set of rules.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Be a dynamo of industriousness. Take charge and manipulate circumstances in a way that will help you achieve your objectives. Don’t be bashful about sharing those heartfelt secret desires with a special someone.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Money is the honey that sweetens your life. This could be a very good time to focus on investment income or to make purchases of important items that must last a long time. Be sure to spend wisely.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Eyes front and center is better. Remain focused on your work and stoke the fires of your creative genius. Yearning for something you don’t have or dwelling on past mistakes will only complicate matters.
if August 9 is your birthday: You are forthright and brave, but more demanding and willing to fight for your rights during the upcoming six to eight weeks. You have a take-charge attitude and refuse to back down on important issues. You have the desire and the vision to make big changes to achieve your ambitions, but your methods may be rough and ready. Your heightened ambitions are accentuated again in October, so any business project or passionate desire will easily be satisfied through your hard work and dedication. In December, you can relax and enjoy the fruits of your labors but would be wise to accept any opportunity that is offered, as it may lead to bigger and better things. Be on guard in January when you are more gullible than usual.
