Horoscopes

For Tuesday, Aug. 2

Those with birthdays today: You might have your hands full this year. Many different elements play into your life. Often, you will want to retreat; that’s when you will gain your greatest insights. Others confuse you, perhaps not intentionally, as they often have an elusive manner. You might tend to overindulge. Verify communications, meetings and any encounter this year. Affection might have a mystical tone. Be careful with new people, especially if you are single and are thinking about making someone your sweetie. If you are attached, romance will build if you take plenty of downtime away together. Share more of yourself. Be more vulnerable. CANCER makes a good healer.

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)

Remain centered through any actions or discussions that occur after noon. They might have to be repeated. Confirm plans and don’t get emotional about what happens. Tonight: Stay home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Try as you might, others seem to get confused. A friend could become quite upset over a misunderstanding. Just hang in there, and refuse to get triggered. Tonight: Swap today’s war stories with a pal.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Don’t handle money today, as problems will only ensue. If you get a problematic letter or call, act on it tomorrow. Let your imagination flow. Tonight: Add more laughter to your life.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Use the morning well, as you can get a lot done quickly. What you hear this afternoon might be off. In fact, don’t worry about the chaos that could easily surround you. Tonight: Whatever pleases you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Vanish or take a day off if you can. Others are contrary. Do not deal with money. Confusion marks plans, and misunderstandings happen way too easily. Tonight: Hide out well, so you cannot be found.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Though you might believe that everything is copacetic, you could find out otherwise. You will be in the midst of chaos and mix-ups, which never makes you happy. Tonight: Find a trusted friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Take your time with others. With misunderstandings running rampant, you will have to deal with responsibilities or with someone in charge. Just stay focused. Tonight: Do only what you must.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Detach and simply head in your own direction. Getting tied up with others could be nothing less than a disaster. Listen more. Say little. Tonight: Put on your headset. Screen out life for now.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Working with someone you care about could be difficult, if not impossible. You need to let go of preconceived ideas, which often get you into trouble, as your perspective is off. Tonight: Be positive.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Others are in control, and you might be questioning what is going on. You might need to playfully take charge, as others are very temperamental. Tonight: Don’t count on anything, and you will be happy.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Know what you must do, and don’t attempt to take on anything else. Others are unpredictable. Take the conservative road. Keep money out of the equation, if possible. Tonight: Make it an early bedtime, if you can.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* Sometimes you mean well, but all your efforts go up in smoke. You surprise others and head in a new direction. Deal with those you care about individually, if possible. Tonight: A good laugh goes far.
