HOROSCOPE

FORECAST FOR SUNDAY, AUGUST 10, 2008

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might not care right now, as you overindulge or do something to excess. Tomorrow might be a whole new story. Loosen up when dealing with a friend; he or she will understand actions more than words. Tonight: If tired, say so. This Week: Verify plans in your mind on Monday. From Tuesday on, move on them.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) A partner or close friend makes a very caring gesture. The issue remains: How much do you want/need to remain in control? A discussion with a child or loved one might be way overdue. The time is now. Tonight: Be a duo. This Week: A partner tells you exactly where he or she stands. You will find a way to make both of you happy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Others clearly care and want you to be with them. The issue might not be recognizing what is happening as much as deciding how to divide your time. You might long to really be a "Twin" -- not just symbolically. Tonight: Forget tomorrow, live now.

This Week: Let go of control, then you will float through the week.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) What you accomplish, whether it is a project or sharing a hobby, might amaze you. Keep talks open and fluid, and allow greater understanding on everybody's part. Demonstrate your authentic feelings. Tonight: Allow the true romantic in you out. This Week: Get as much as you can get done on Monday. You could be distracted from Tuesday on,

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Once you start romping, stopping you could be close to impossible and definitely undesirable. Smart friends and loved ones will not try. Stop and have an important discussion with a loved one. Listen well. Tonight: Ever playful. This Week: Ingenuity is a hot commodity, and you have it. Use that gift.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) For the next few weeks, you could be more verbal than you have been for a very long time. Use today for reflection. Know what you feel, and decide what is appropriate. Tonight: Call it an early night. This Week: Take Monday off if you can. You will need to be working on all cylinders for the next few days.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) You might be wondering which way is the best way to go. Sometimes you might overthink things. Try spontaneity, as you have a receptive audience through this afternoon. Talks are unusually revealing. Tonight: Less is more. This Week: Don't allow others to jam up your communication. Honor basics.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might absolutely want to make a major purchase. You also could be egged on by a friend or loved one. Know what you want, and be willing to take care of you and your well-being too. Learn to say "no." Tonight: Don't fight city hall. This Week: Expenses are out of whack. Discipline, my dear Scorp. It works!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Sometimes, knowing you can have what you want can be more intimidating than actually not getting it. Open up to potential. A discussion with an admired associate feels good. Finally, you see eye to eye. Tonight: What would make you smile like the Cheshire cat? This Week: High energy beams you into the week. What do you want to accomplish?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Kick back and let others worry while you relax. Sometimes you might not be as sure of yourself as you might like. Center and use the time to recharge. You might even look at an issue far differently. Tonight: Start organizing yourself for tomorrow. This Week: Take off Monday, knowing you will be expected to be in fifth gear all week long.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Zero in on what you want. Accept an invitation that tosses you among crowds and/or with your friends. How you deal with someone changes because you are happier. Careful -- as evening dawns, fatigue appears. Tonight: Call it an early night. This Week: Use Monday for any matter that is key. You will need to pull back.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Pressure builds, which could have you wondering what to do. Some of you discover the potential of not getting into the thick of things. Some responsibilities cannot be ignored. Tonight: Defer to someone else's ideas. This Week: Stand up and declare your intentions. Others will follow.
