For Wednesday, Aug. 13:

You are one of the most determined signs. This year, you will learn the wisdom of bending or trying another path. Face facts. If you are single, most likely you will meet someone in your day-to-day travels. If attached, the two of you grow through a mutual hobby or interest. Capricorn makes a great healer for you, as well as a co-worker.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

¢¢¢¢ If you attempt to avoid a situation, you will walk smack into it, causing the opposite effect. Tonight: Out as late as is necessary.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Others could find you challenging, as your thoughts are deep into something else. The problem remains that someone sorely needs and wants your feedback. Tonight: Do not take someone personally.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Working with one other person draws the kind of reaction everyone dreams of. Tonight: Do not forget your special person.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢ Others dominate. Hop out of the way, and you will be, by far, much happier. Your way of handling a problem changes radically if you relax. Tonight: Just don’t be alone.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Emphasize productivity, but at the same time do not forget about you. Schedule a checkup. Consider a new exercise or diet program. Tonight: The diet starts tomorrow.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Where is that twinkle in your eye coming from? Perhaps you are seeing someone differently, or you are amused at the scenario that surrounds you. Tonight: Start acting like it is Friday night!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢ If you can call in, do. Everyone, be they a child or an adult, loves to play hooky. Why not you? Tonight: Vanish.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your words could turn around a situation. A meeting could be swayed by your thoughts. Tonight: Hang out with a friend.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢ Deal with finances by manifesting your natural strength and intelligence. You might not be able to control another’s decision, but you can rein yourself in or choose a strong response. Tonight: Explore options rather than eliminate them.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ You hit a peak few days. What might be the smart action is to re-arrange your schedule ASAP for anything that is very important. Tonight: Ask, and you shall receive.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢ Understand that even you need to cut back some. You cannot always have “things” your way. Pull back. In fact, taking a day off or simply closing your door and not answering the phone could revive you. Tonight: Mull over a situation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Friends surround you. You do not need to test the waters; rather, trust in your desirability, and listen with a stronger sense of self. Tonight: Where your friends are.
