Horoscopes

For Monday, Aug. 7

Those with birthdays today: You want to get the job done. You have the ability to cover a lot of ground quickly. You can be overly serious but dedicated. You might hit extremes emotionally, especially as you will try to sit on your feelings, only to have them explode under you. Perhaps discussing emotional undercurrents before they hit the extreme stage might be wise. Sometimes you will make mountains out of molehills. If you are single, sometimes you push people away, as you develop a mask or strong defense. Still, 2007 holds a special relationship. If you are attached, you find that your bond will warm if you loosen up. CAPRICORN works well with you.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
