Horoscopes

For Saturday, Aug. 9, 2003. Those with birthdays today: Make the most out of a very special work or day-to-day opportunity. You are in the process of spreading your wings and trying many new things. Expect a financial upswing, but be careful with spending. If you are single, a special relationship will walk into your life. What you decide to do with it is your call. If you are attached, you will benefit from being more nurturing to each other.
