For Sunday, Aug. 7:

This year, you express far more impulsiveness than in recent years. Let your enthusiasm emerge, and others will respond in kind. Detachment often brings stunning insights. Foreigners, in-laws and travel keep your life exciting. Education provides escape and new ideas. If you are single, your love life could be very exciting, though not necessarily stable. If you are attached, a new addition becomes a strong possibility.
