For Wednesday, Aug. 8:

You have drive and follow-through adding to your success this year. Clearly you know what you want. Getting there is yet another issue. Structure a support system, and you will get much more of what you want out of life. If you are single, you will meet people with ease. Others find you unusually alluring this year. If you are attached, listen to alternatives with an eye to interdependence in a way that works. GEMINI is a star in your life.
