For Saturday, Aug. 9:

Investigate options, even if you want to say “no.” When you see the whole situation, question or issue reveal itself, you might change your mind. In the first half of the year, you might be more concerned about your domestic/personal life. In the second half of the year, romance blossoms, even for those who are attached. Single Lions could discover their life mates. Sagittarius could be challenging.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Defer to others, and you might be surprised by what comes up. You might not be able to complete a situation or get it resolved to your liking. Tonight: Say “yes” to living.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ Actions count, especially in a relationship. You could be overwhelmed by what you hear or what goes on. Tonight: Let your hair down.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ You might want to rethink a personal matter more carefully. Discussion and brainstorming draw a wild reaction. Tonight: How about a dinner party?

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ A partner could add to your frayed case of nerves, or you could decide this person is exquisitely exciting. Tonight: Be a duo.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ You choose the words, and the words determine how others respond, more frequently than naught. Tonight: Visit, chat, flirt and keep all the emotional valves open.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Speak your mind, yet be careful of taking any wild risks that could jeopardize your financial security. Tonight: Fun seems to happen.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢ Use the daylight hours to forge ahead on a trip or a key happening. What would be wrong is to do nothing with life’s opportunities right now. Tonight: Hanging out is fun.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢ Use the daylight hours to complete all important tasks. You might be acting as if there is no tomorrow. Tonight: Alone, if not with that special person.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢ Expect others to “want” you to take the lead. Whether you do or not is your call. You will, by evening, not be in the mood for much else besides taking down your hair and painting the town red. Tonight: Give up trying to orchestrate events.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ If you want to follow your “escape” routine or take off, you must do it early on. The longer you take, the less likely you will be able to go off on an adventure. Tonight: A force to behold.
