Horoscopes

For Saturday, Aug. 16, 2003. Those with birthdays today: With your imagination and sense of direction, little eludes you this year. Use that important creativity spiced with your intellectual prowess. The key to your success will be thinking outside of the box. Your fiery impulsiveness takes you in new directions. If you are single, you will meet people easily; not only because you are a Leo, but also because you will be even more social than usual. What you decide you want to do here really depends on your immediate and future goals. If you are attached, your relationship will flourish in this fun atmosphere. Leo will be unusually fortunate with finances this year.
