For Friday, Aug. 22:

Reach out for others this year. Be willing to work with a very idealistic person or a bohemian thinker. If you are single, you will gain and grow through a relationship with someone very different – if you learn to respect your differences. If you are attached, you discover the true meaning of acceptance when you let go of a need to have your sweetie think just like you do. Virgo teaches you important skills.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ You are creative and ready to jump on a very special offer. Travel, as well as dedication, could be involved. Tonight: Add that creativity to your personal life.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢ Express yourself, but do not be surprised that you do not have an audience of awaiting ears. Perhaps you could use this less dynamic period in a more resourceful manner. Tonight: Head home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ Zero in on the goal first, and then explore which path might be the best to get there. Remember what works for you might not for someone else. Tonight: TGIF

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Others demand a lot from you, which you like, as you are an innate performer. You like to be a leader. You like to come in first. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

¢¢¢ If dragging, know that you need to lessen your workload. Postpone and defer. What you do right now, could need to be redone in the mood you are in. Tonight: Easy does it.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ You are cooking on all burners. Instincts mix with practicality, and you seem to be cruising toward the finish line. Tonight: Explore a creative and perhaps wild idea.
