Horoscopes

For Thursday, Aug. 8, 2002. Those with birthdays today: It’s no surprise to anyone that you make friends easily. You forge ahead, the natural result of networking. You’re blessed with unusual creativity. Sometimes others feel you are driven. Avoid being myopic, seeing issues and life from one point of view. If single, others will respond as if you were a magnet. If attached, validate your partner through listening and understanding where he or she comes from.
