Legal No. 201489 Published: August 1, 2020 DOES EVERYONE KNOW YOUR BUSINESS Even if you think they do, you'll have to keep remind- ing them about it. CRUISE THROUGH classified when you’re in the market for a new or used car. by Stella Wilder SUNDAY, AUGUST 2, 2020 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are one of the most myste- rious individuals born under your sign -- and perhaps even the most, period! There is much about you that others do not understand, and they are actually likely to have a much harder time getting to know the “real you” than any other Leo natives. There are numerous facets to your complex personality, but each one shines brightly of its own accord -- and you are rather like a diamond in this way, in which the true luster of your personality is the sum of each individual shining facet. MONDAY, AUGUST 3 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You may be tempted to do something against the grain today, if only to get a reaction from those who have turned away from you of late. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You are in a position of some authority today, but that doesn’t mean that you must go around giving MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2020 YOUR BIRTHDAY by Stella Wilder Born today, you are a positive, uplifting individual, the kind other people not only want to be around, but the kind they can look up to and follow because you provide a sense of importance, vitality and purpose to all those with whom you come in contact. You are, in a sense, a great equalizer: Everyone is the same who falls under your gaze -- and always of the highest possible quality! TUESDAY, AUGUST 4 LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A collection of artifacts and memorabilia will help you tomorrow when you work. The past and the present merge in an interesting way today. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- The ques- tions you ask today will lead you down some interesting paths, whether or not you get the answers you’re looking for at this time. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- Take care that you don’t send someone the wrong message MONDAY, AUGUST 3, 2020 orders. A subtle approach is advised. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) -- If you wake up feeling down in the dumps, the quicker you do something productive, the sooner you’ll feel like yourself again. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- Don’t be afraid to ask for something you feel you deserve today. You know what’s coming to you, and you know how valuable it will be. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You’re not likely to enjoy any special privi- leges today, but if you follow the right person, his or her good luck should rub off on you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Stick to your schedule today, and don’t let anyone distract you from the job at hand. You can demonstrate the value of multitasking. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- You mustn’t make the mistake of thinking that if something works for you it must work for everyone. Remember: To each his own! PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- Doing the because your tone of voice conveys erroneous information. Be calm, and play it safe. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) -- The more you give another today, the more you’re likely to get in return tomorrow -- though nothing is guaranteed. At all times, be genuine! SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) -- You must strive to maintain close communication with friends and family members. You know yourself and what you’re able to do. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You’re looking forward to taking a trip that allows you to do things you normally wouldn’t do at home -- but certain facts must be recognized. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) -- The rou- tine you’re eager to establish around the home may not give you all you expect -- but only because you’re not yet fully committed. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You recog- nize before it’s too late that someone isn’t providing what was promised. There are many steps you can take to remedy this situ- right thing today may require you to separate from the crowd -- but that’s nothing new to you. Your instincts are keen. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It may be more difficult today to do what you are told than it was yesterday. It could be that you’re simply overreacting to someone’s tone. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You know just how to press someone’s buttons, but that doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. Treat him or her the way you expect to be treated. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- The good and the bad may become somewhat confused in your mind today as you deal with an issue that is anything but simple to figure out. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can prove that your ideas are valid and updated today, merely by letting things play out the way they will. Don’t force the issue.

DISTRIBUTED BY ANDREWS MCMEEL SYNDICATION FOR UFS 1130 Walnut St., Kansas City, MO 64106; 816-581-7500 ation. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- You may encounter someone who is dead set against anything you may propose, simply because it’s you who’s proposing it. Is this really fair? TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- The time has come for you to acknowledge that some- one is giving it his or her all, just as you are. There’s no need to raise a fuss. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- That which affects you indirectly today is likely to be more important to you in the near future. Pay attention to all such developments. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You may not be eager to travel today, but the fact is that you must get from here to there and back again in the most efficient way possible.
