For Sunday, Aug. 26:

You have a plethora of ideas this year. Expressing them in an appropriate, clear manner is important. You have drive, which, properly placed, could make you an insurmountable personality and a force to be dealt with. If you are single, you enter a period in 2008 in which romance could seize your attention at any given moment. If you are attached, follow-through counts. Add those little touches. AQUARIUS paves a more interesting path if you decide to join in.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢ Knowing your priorities will help you see life with renewed interest. Investigate the potential with an eye to invigorating a financial or professional arrangement. Tonight: Check in with an older relative.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Take a leap of faith and move forward. Your energy easily could be replenished if you just take a break. Tonight: Deal with that special person.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Others want to dominate right now. Who are you to stop them or run interference in any way, shape or form? Tonight: All smiles.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ You might not have as much control as you would like. Your vision of what could happen might be in conflict with an older friend or authority figure’s idea. Tonight: Easy does it.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Your playfulness intrigues others and might encourage you to let go of strong plans. A conversation is dynamic as well as interesting. Tonight: Add in more flirtation.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ You might want to anchor in with family or a roommate. Not everything impacts you as you might like. Tonight: Splurge some.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢¢ You say what you think and mean what you say. The combo can be powerful, as you shall see. Someone you care about could be on edge and possibly sarcastic. Tonight: Return calls.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ You might want to back off rather than toss yourself in the middle of a project that could require an unusual amount of activity and thought. Tonight: Check out a suggestion with care.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢¢ Others can be contrary. You have free will. You can either get stuck in the muck of disagreement or go on cruise control and bypass any pettiness. Tonight: As you wish.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢ Sometimes putting your hand up and saying “halt” works. Your fiery side emerges with a difficult partner or associate. Tonight: Do your own thing.
