HOROSCOPES
HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Aug. 6, 2016:
This year you note a tendency for misunderstandings to pop up from out of the blue. Rev up your sense of humor, and don’t take any slip-ups personally. Learn to confirm meeting times and places, and doublecheck anything odd you might hear. If you are single, you could find that you have many opportunities heading your way. Within these opportunities lies the potential for meeting someone of significance to your life’s history. Be open to different lifestyles. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy hanging out together and catching up on the day’s news. LIBRA adores the way you present yourself.
The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19)
If someone initiates a conversation, the other party is likely to become quiet. No matter what is happening around you, make a point of reaching out to someone who seems to be worried about speaking to you. Be as friendly as possible. Tonight: Clear the air.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20)
Pace yourself, and get past an immediate problem. Others might not agree with you, and vice versa. Drop the need to have a conversation, and opt to have a fun afternoon. Address issues later. When you relax, you find it easier to let go of problems. Tonight: Invite friends over.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20)
Be more forthright. If you dislike a certain activity and the other party loves it, instead of agreeing to join in, just explain why you won’t be present. Going along with this person’s idea and then griping about it later won’t serve either of you. Tonight: Paint the town red.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)
You might opt to stay close to home and not push so hard. You will want to invite friends over later in the weekend, but you do need some downtime first. Use some quiet time appropriately. You could be accident-prone; be careful! Tonight: Put up your feet and relax.
Keep conversations moving instead of getting stuck on a disagreement. Acknowledge the difference in your point of view from someone else’s. You’ll express more energy toward a child or loved one than you have in a while. Tonight: Shoot the breeze with friends.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Join friends, but if you feel as if you are out of your league financially, you might have some choices to make. Perhaps you’ll want to join this group less often, or will make it OK to spend less and/or treat others less frequently. Tonight: Go along with the moment!
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
One of your friends suddenly might decide to vanish. Don’t take this person’s behavior personally; he or she just wants some time to relax. Others appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to throw yourself into different activities. Tonight: Give it 100 percent!
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Take the day off for yourself, and do what you want. Others could become quite reactive as a result, and will try to get you to join them. Let people miss you, for a change. You will appreciate having some time away from your usual crowd of friends. Tonight: Be mysterious.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
Getting together with friends seems like the perfect solution. You will be content in the middle of a crowd. Some of you could choose to go to the beach or watch a baseball game. You might have too much energy for your own good. Tonight: Wherever the party is, there you are.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’ll feel as if you want a break, but you might need to accept more responsibility. Invite a friend over with whom you want to visit, and make this person feel at home. If you feel angry, try expressing your feelings before you explode. Tonight: Someone wants your time.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Look at the big picture rather than get caught up in the snags of an interaction. Sometimes you are too critical of others and fussy about details. A friend will go to bat for you. Be grateful for this person’s good intentions. Tonight: Try a movie or some other form of entertainment.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
Close relating to a loved one might be unusually rewarding. As a result, you might need to carry additional responsibility in order to make a situation work for both of you. Do not complain, for now. Tonight: Accept a fun invitation, and let off some steam.
