Your Horoscope for Wednesday, August 7

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★★

If you relate on an individual level, the results will be far better. You need to focus on each issue, call or interaction that heads toward you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★★ Try to get through a hassle without making a big deal. At least try to make it look as if you flowed through. Another’s curiosity could be piqued.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ You recognize how much you need to clear out before you can relax and go with the flow. Do not push someone too hard or have this person carry more responsibilities than normal.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22) ★★★★ You might want to be more creative and upbeat in dealing with a work associate. Perhaps the time has come to say yes to an opportunity or invitation that will allow you to get to know each other better.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ Your imagination could go haywire when sharing a moment with a child or loved one. Your feelings might come up quickly in dealing with a difficult associate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★★ Do not allow another person to challenge or intimidate you. Someone around you could be unusually insightful but challenging at times.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★ Curb a need to be possessive or have others agree with you. You could be dealing with finances, which could make it even more difficult to get a consensus.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★★★ You know you have a problem resolved. In fact, in hindsight, what you thought was a problem was simply a pebble on the road of life.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★ The less you initiate and commit to at the moment, the better off you will be. You could feel as if timing is working with you at that point.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★★ It might be time to stop stepping back and thinking a decision through. You could find that you never make a decision.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★ Be ready to take the lead and make a long-term wish a reality. Honor a new possibility and check it out before committing to any certain path.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★★ Reach out for someone. This person knows how to make you smile when you feel down. Open up to new ideas and look at a situation from a distance.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Aug. 7) This year, you will be unusually quiet. Others might treat you with more respect and care. If single, the person you choose today might not work for you in a year.
