Horoscopes

For Wednesday, Aug. 14, 2002. Those with birthdays today: You often view others idealistically, putting loved ones and associates on a pedestal. Pull back some, making new possibilities happen. If you are single, you often put the amour of the moment on a pedestal, only to have him or her fall off. You might want to blame this person, but in reality, who put him or her there? Take your time getting to know others. Laughter surrounds a key relationship, if attached. You play out some of your life fantasies together.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

  • A commotion sets the day’s tone. Handle individuals directly. Don’t leave out details, and zoom in on facts, even if others seem uninterested. Tonight: Let someone have what he or she wants.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

  • You might wish to have more control. Don’t be surprised to find yourself dreaming about life as if you were the boss. Tonight: Add more spring to your step.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

  • Defer to others this morning, when facts and events confuse more than clarify. Your insightfulness and grounding make all the difference to associates. Tonight: Happy at home.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

  • Your imagination could take you down some “forbidden” path. A partner might be reading you loud and clear, letting you know how he or she feels. Tonight: Only fun.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

  • Going back to the basics helps you sort through what could be a difficult problem. Though your perspective might easily change because of input later on, you come up with a sound idea. Tonight: Happy at home.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

  • You speak, and others listen. However, don’t make the assumption that associates understand, especially this morning. Verify data, information, messages and meetings. Tonight: Visit with a friend.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

  • A risk might be quite appealing but could lead to a distinct problem. Postpone any blind leaps of faith for a day or two! You realize later on what might be a stronger action. Tonight: Your treat.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

  • Trust yourself to make solid decisions, even in what appears to be a confusing personal matter. If you’re questioning your decision, list your goals. Tonight: What would make you happy?

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

  • Choose to not reveal your thoughts this morning, especially those involving money and a personal matter. Tonight: Where the crowds are.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

  • Trust that you aren’t seeing a situation clearly. The more information you get, the better off you will be. Schedule a discussion with a trusted associate later in the day. Tonight: A must show.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

  • * Sometimes another’s perspective helps you understand where others come from. Taking a strong stand might not benefit you. Listen, exchange ideas and detach. Tonight: Take in a movie.
