For Tuesday, Aug. 9:

This year, much occurs in your day-to-day life. You naturally will have a good time and enjoy yourself. If you are attached, you might see the embers of love flash into flames once more. Stoke these fires. Work on not suppressing your difficult feelings so much. If you are able to move through them, you will be freer and more present in the moment. Capricorn understands you well.
