For Friday, Aug. 8:

You might want to do something very different this year, despite the constraints from your immediate circle. Honoring who you are could make a big difference. If you are single, you could meet someone in the winter who’ll be quite significant to your life history. If you are attached, the two of you might expand or remodel your home. Scorpio can push your buttons.
