TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Practical matters fade back and
what comes to the fore is a po-
etic aspect to the day in which a
hope or justice is expressed per-
fectly to reflect this artistic and
emotional journey you are on.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Being close to a person
sometimes means that you
speak up, or argue even. You
love a person, and you want that
person to thrive. The moments of
conflict that arise are born out of
this love.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).
The essence of strategy is using
time, space and resources well.
Consider that resources and
space can be renewed, replaced,
reconfigured. As for time, there’s
no way to make up for its van-
ishing.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Money
has no inherent value, only the
value we assign to it. You think
you know what gets exchanged
inside of a dollar, but give it
more consideration today, and
you’ll have a new realization.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
You don’t always choose the
enjoyable route, and today you’ll
ask yourself why. Many reasons
could factor in including ambi-
tion, social pressure or fear of an
unmet expectation. Tonight is for
deciding if it was worth it.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To
experience something new with
another person is to create an
unforgettable bond. Today, it’s
more fun if what you’re doing is
novel to you both.

MONDAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug.
10). You give yourself over to
the worthiest pursuits and also
to people who do not have to
do a single thing to deserve
your unconditional love. As for
the rest, you will be very careful,
stingy even, with your attention.
Rightly so. This is a year for doing
what matters. February and June
bring large dividends. Libra and
Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 8, 1, 5, 30 and 40.

Solution to 8/7/20
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).
Like a good story, this day comes
with a gradual rise of tension.
There’s the temptation to fix it
all as you go. Resist. Some things
are better left unresolved for
now.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). It is
natural to go easy on those you
love most. Do the same for your-
self. When you’re giving your
best effort, accept that it’s all
you can do. Expecting yourself
to do more is not only silly; it’s
unkind.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You
have known the joy of surprise
and have been knocked out by
some big gestures from people
trying to impress you. Even so,
the gifts you most treasure have
been small and simple. You’ll pay
it forward today.
mJ'm
|| i \jB
o
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
You try to be temperate, but it
doesn’t always work out that
way, and rightly so. You have a
wide range of feelings to express,
many loving and kind, and some
that are appropriately angry. No
one is patient all of the time.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If
your primary value is something
quantifiable, then you will al-
ways need more of it. But when
you value abstract qualities like
freedom or playfulness, you
don’t have to chase. You just em-
body the thing and have won.
B.C.
Ô.CCQ IBS. OF
FPBSSUKt.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You
wanted someone’s love, and
you weren’t the only one trying
to get it. This taught you more
about competition than any-
thing you’ve done since. There’s
an art to getting the right kind
of attention. You’re nailing it.
