Horoscopes

For Thursday, Aug. 11

Those with birthdays today: This year, you might often feel that others are a little too difficult or touchy, especially when matters involve home and security. You’ll gain understanding by lying back, staying optimistic and learning to understand where others are coming from. Review your priorities, and focus on them. You are starting a new 29-year life cycle this year. Know what needs to change and where you are heading. If you are single, a relationship might develop before October. Give this bond time to grow and to be tested. If you are attached, the two of you need to come to an agreement about your domestic priorities. SCORPIO is as strong-willed as you. Don’t butt heads.

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)

You might be concerned about the direction of events, though you might not be able to change what is happening. Partners and associates draw much more attention than usual. Tonight: Togetherness.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Others seek you out en masse. Handling everything that is on your plate might be overwhelming. Ask for help from close family members. More information comes forward. Tonight: Go along with plans.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Plug into your daily life, and you will find that a feeling of heaviness or depression passes. You get to see other people’s problems, which causes you to rethink your life. Tonight: Indulge in a stress-buster.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Your imagination carries you through any hassle. Just don’t pretend with money. Don’t think you have a money tree growing in your backyard. A relationship could be warming up. Tonight: Play away.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be overly serious or touchy. Be sensitive to what is going on around you, but choose not to take everything personally. Your mind and feelings need grounding. Tonight: Head home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

You might take a dim view of what you are hearing. Lately, you have a tendency to be hard on yourself and to take a negative point of view. Relax and lighten up more. Tonight: Get together with a funny pal.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You make a stern resolution that impacts your finances. Sometimes you will have to say no to friends, whether you want to or not. No one takes care of you as well as you do. Make yourself No. 1. Tonight: Pay bills.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Though you are energetic and full of charisma, you could feel that you are carrying an awful lot of responsibilities. How you handle yourself could have long-term implications. Tonight: As you wish.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Investigate what is happening behind the scenes. Someone isn’t revealing all the facts. You could be stunned by what you hear – if you listen. Say little and gather information. Tonight: Vanish.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

You’ll like what happens when you work as a team with others. Meetings and brainstorming sessions prove to be unusually productive. Tonight: Go to a baseball game or join friends for other fun events.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Evoking a response from others, especially one certain person, could be challenging. This person might be depressed or feeling negative at the moment. As a result, you will have to take the lead on a key project. Tonight: Out late.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

You might be overly tired and, as a result, are encouraged to look for shortcuts or a different approach through detaching and looking at the whole situation. Answers come out of left field. Tonight: Relax to music.
