For Friday, Aug. 3:

You might want to make some vital changes in your life. Taking action this year won’t be tough; choosing the right action might be more challenging. You’ll come out on top, knowing what needs to happen. Proceed with this knowledge and understanding. Do nothing halfway. Romance blooms for single Lions. If you are attached, you will add to your domestic life with a new addition – a grandchild or perhaps a new pet. You will be smiling a good part of this year. ARIES presents different views.
