NOTES AND NUMBERS:
Vernonia Senior Center • 939 Bridge Street • 503-429-3912
Your Horoscope for August 2016
how you move about and handle dan-
gerous objects!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Yes your
love life is number one. Within reach
are all of the resources necessary to
achieve your professional goals. You
enjoy particular success in group ac-
tivities. August is dynamic financially,
but risky. You could get too involved
and expose yourself to high stress.
Take it easy, there is plenty of time to
do it all!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Look to
love, happiness and joint achieve-
ments. You end up in lucky circum-
stances, as if the universe is conspir-
ing to fulfill your desires. Finances de-
pend upon professional decisions and
on how well you set your strategies
in motion. An appropriate month for
medical procedures. There is a ten-
dency toward excess that you need
to control. Focus on major goals and
achieve them!
Aries (March 21-April 19) Not an
overly romantic time. But it is a good
time for investigations, treatments,
and care; particularly so for refocus-
ing on older or neglected medical is-
sues. Protect your digestive, nervous,
and respiratory systems that might be
more sensitive than usual. Long-dis-
tance travels and contacts could be
profitable, but there is an element of
risk. Keep yours eyes open.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) A good
time to freely express your romanti-
cism. Experiment, play, be adventur-
ous and, of course, fall in love. You
could enjoy one of the best vacations
of your life. If you have to work, you
should know you can achieve amaz-
ing results – provided you take plea-
sure in the work. Express your feel-
ings! Particularly the deep, beautiful
ones.

for violence or conflict. Relax and be
as forgiving with others as you can.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) August
may bring you a busy schedule, hav-
ing your freedom to act restricted,
dealing with unpleasant tasks or work-
ing under difficult conditions. But you
can take comfort in the thought that
you will make money and your efforts
will be rewarded. Your strong suit is
your good morale. Hold on to your
sense of humor and adopt a positive
attitude under all circumstances.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) Saturn
makes things more difficult, serious or
complicated – and that’s since 2015.
Saturn is neither cheerful, nor gener-
ous. You’ve dealt with this configura-
tion before, during March-April-May.
It is a time of drawing conclusions,
making decisions, and taking action.
Avoid circumstances with a potential
