For Saturday, July 26:

Your commitment professionally and on the community level comes to the forefront. You feel a need to be out there, to make a difference. If you are single, you could enjoy a very intense period starting this winter where you date and meet some very interesting people. If you are attached, you’ll want to do more as a couple and socialize more in 2009. Taurus tosses you into the limelight.
