For Tuesday, Aug. 20

This year you often weigh the pros and cons of being spontaneous and emotional against those of being intellectual and logical. You will see which voice works best for you by your next birthday. If you are single, others often express their admiration of your daring love life. If you are attached, as a couple, you often might have disagreements.
