For Monday, Aug. 6:

This year is a mixed bag. Many of you might not be exactly sure of your professional desires, which will affect the rest of this year. Friendship and long-term goals can be realized once you know what makes your heart sing. Follow through on your inner needs and desires. You have a lot to smile about. If you are single, use 2007 to the max, when you are likely to meet an important person. If you are attached, let more romance in. Re-create an old date or two. GEMINI is a friend.
