Horoscopes

For Thursday, Aug. 7, 2003. Those with birthdays today: Often a haze surrounds your relationships, and you might put loved ones and friends on a pedestal. Therefore, it is likely that they will tumble off, and you might feel as if someone pulled the wool over your eyes. But who put this person or these people on the pedestal initially? You are unusually attractive and draw others to you more than ever before. You naturally do an excellent job with your own PR. If you are single, you will have your share of suitors. Pick and choose with care. Wait at least a year before making a commitment. If you are attached, your relationship will be enhanced by more communication.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult
