Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Aug. 3

Those with birthdays today: You will want and need some downtime this year because you have a lot going on. Learning different techniques to handle stress and tension might be crucial to your well-being. Take time to do your own research. You also could be unusually sensitive. Try not to take anything personally. Check out new people with care, as often you could misread others. If you are single, you meet people easily through the summer. If you are attached, you will want to throw more parties, but don’t forget to plan some getaways just for the two of you. You will nestle in when the cold weather comes. CANCER proves to be a good confidant.
