Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Aug. 9

Those with birthdays today: You waver often, be it with interpersonal relationships or when making a key decision. You might want to back off in order to see the solution that could incorporate both extremes. Your creativity remains key to your success. You don’t see people realistically this year, but more as you would like them to be. Disappointment could result if you live in a rose-colored haze. If you are single, you will have swarms of admirers. Choose carefully. Winter and spring 2007 allow someone special into your life. If you are attached, you might need to agree to disagree. Respect others’ differences, and you’ll be much happier. AQUARIUS can be confusing.
