JACQUELINE BIGAR
Your Horoscope for Tuesday, August 9
ARIES (March 21-April 19) Deferring is not your style, but that is what you are likely to do right now. Someone else clearly wants to reach a new level of handling matters, and he or she seems to have an intuitive hunch about what to do.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) If you allow your associates to take a stronger role, you’ll have an opportunity to create more free time for yourself.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You could have a problem dealing with an associate who wants more responsibility. If you value a well-oiled operation that points to success, then let this person have his or her way.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) The choices you make right now might be unusually creative and dynamic, even for you. A potential loved one plays a strong role in your choices, and this person is likely to affect your feeling of well-being.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Much goes on that you will choose not to discuss. You might consider making a major purchase that is somewhat indulgent. This item could be something you use to update your home.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your words seem to have the effect you desire. The person or persons to whom you are speaking are likely to pick up on your message.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your love of good times marks the next few days. Once you let go and relax, you could find that it’s close to impossible to rein yourself back in.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You easily could go overboard once you tap into your high energy. A friend might question what you are doing. Be realistic about where you are heading. Have a long-overdue conversation with someone who often stays behind the scenes.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You could be overwhelmed by everything you need to do; the best approach is to dive right in. If need be, get help from someone who knows how to follow through on the job at hand.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Aim for what you want, and don’t lose sight of your objective. Because of your strong drive and the support of those who count, you could hit a home run once more. Information that heads your way will need careful evaluation.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might want to try a different way of communicating with a higher-up. Understand that your messages are not being received in the way you would like them to be. Listen to your instincts with someone whose opinion you care about.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be caught up in your own thoughts. As a result, a compliment from someone close to you could fall to the wayside. A big smile will go a long way in patching up a misunderstanding.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Aug. 9) This year you make a difference where it counts. You have a lot of energy, and you’ll choose to funnel it into your family life. You value beautiful surroundings more, as you feel they are important to your well-being.
