Horoscopes

For Friday, Aug. 15, 2003. Those with birthdays today: You might feel a bit out of sorts this year. Learn to get past negativity, and instead drum up your detachment. If you are single, a trip might be key to meeting someone quite different and unique. This person could be a foreigner, as well. Learn to understand your different styles. If you are attached, your relationship will open new doors, if you’re willing to get off your position and understand where someone else is coming from.

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

Aries (March 21-April 19)

  • Use your energy, optimism and intellect to zero in on what you want. You could easily make mistakes or make a wrong choice. Tonight: Grin your way into the night.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • Take your time making decisions. Someone might push very hard to have you see his or her perspective. You might not want to agree, but on the other hand, you will look at what is presented. Tonight: Take some time off.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • You know what you want, but at the same time, you need to exhibit extra caution and care. A child or loved one could push you very hard. Tonight: Join your friends.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • You could inadvertently rain on another’s parade. Understand someone’s limits rather than pushing this person too hard. Tonight: Work as late as need be.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Look beyond the obvious, not getting tied up in your stuff. Detach and intellectualize if need be. Do needed research. Tonight: Take off ASAP.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • Friends seek you out. Find out information that could help you make a difference. A partner or key associate might be an unusually creative resource. Tonight: You’re best off with one special friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • Defer to others who seem to have a better idea than you. A must appearance could be unusually difficult. Avoid taking a leadership position if you can; instead, work with others as a team. Tonight: Say “yes.”

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Pace yourself rather than charging in headfirst. An even approach will help you complete work with greater efficiency. Tonight: Out with co-workers.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

  • * A partner could shut down. Don’t take this action personally, but rather look at the fact that something might be going on with this person. Keep conversations flowing. Add that touch of imagination and humor that helps others loosen up. Tonight: At home.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Center on your priorities. You’re able to make a considerable difference because of being isolated and focused. Calmly deal with a family member who might not be seeing life as you do. Tonight: You don’t have to go far.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • What you can do by making a phone call or reaching out for another could make all the difference in what happens. Tonight: You don’t have to go far.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • Finances need to take a higher priority, and it might be important to step back and do less of what a child or partner desires. Your imagination and tendency to risk could be a mistake. Tonight: Pay bills first.
