Horoscopes

For Tuesday, Aug. 9

Those with birthdays today: Often this year you might be hesitant, which is a new characteristic for you. In the long run, it will not remain with you. In any case, you will make good choices if you curb your innate impulsiveness; however, don’t become a stick in the mud – OK? You will meet people easily if you make the effort. If you are single, you’ll have a slew of admirers, but if you aren’t really sure about your choice, remain uncommitted. If you are attached, your more reserved personality might surprise your loved one. Let him or her know that it isn’t personal. LIBRA always loves to see you.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Some of the recent brouhaha subsides, happily. With a steady approach, you’ll find solutions. Others have many valuable suggestions. Why not listen and perhaps integrate different thoughts? Tonight: Out among the crowds.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

You might be a bit of a stick in the mud at times, but you do have the quality of solidity and you don’t make many errors. Some of you might be considering a home office. Tonight: Fit in some exercise.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

You are very playful, and because of that attitude, others often don’t get how very serious you are. Sometimes you need to be a bit sterner. Tonight: Whip out the door and add more fun to living.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

You need to maintain a solid grasp on just how much you want to put into your home or another investment. You might see that you need to change your lifestyle in order to be happier. Tonight: Mosey on home.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Figure out what might be going on with people around you by asking diplomatic and insightful questions. Others might have much more on their mind than you realize. Tonight: Chat away, but also listen well.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your smile might make a big difference when dealing with others. Remember, money isn’t the only type of asset. There’s also your personality, presentation and innate talents. Tonight: Pay bills.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

With the Moon in your sign, you might be able to break into a fortress. Understanding your goals is the first step to achieving success. Face what is happening with a friend who might need a nudge. Tonight: You choose.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Step back and listen to the words of an authority figure. You might not understand what is going on with a loved one or someone you care about. You will need to observe and listen. Tonight: Do your thing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You will have to take the high road and not get caught up in others’ stuff. You discover that if you encourage others to work as a team and look at the objectives, you’ll succeed. Tonight: Hook up with a pal.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Investigate what might be going on with a boss or an older friend or relative. You might find that he or she is quite touchy. Watch this person, and you might see that there is something muddling his or her mind. Tonight: Out late.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Don’t let others clutter your mind. How you see matters could be quite different from the way others do. Convincing a reticent associate might not be worth the effort. Tonight: Put on your headphones.
