For Tuesday, Aug. 4:

This year, the quality of your daily life becomes an issue. Others might not agree, and often you get strange reactions. If you are single, don’t play games with yourself or others when determining if someone is “right” or “good” for you. If you are attached, let your significant other have more say. Aquarius could challenge you to think more deeply.
