For Sunday, Aug. 4

This year vibrancy surrounds you, and you seem to embrace it. Others recognize your presence and your keen perspectives. If you are single, life could become very exciting, as a foreigner or someone quite different could enter the picture. If you are attached, a trip could change your relationship for the better.
