Wednesday, August 6, 2014 horoscopes by Eugenia Last

ARIES (March 21-April 19): Travel, excitement, and sharing your emotions with someone special will add to your day. Recognize that you don’t have to spend a lot in order to have fun with someone special. Don’t let work cloud your vision regarding your personal goals. TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Take time to sort out what you need to change in your life in order to make it better or more convenient. Take care of pending legal, financial, or medical matters so that you can stabilize your position and your future. GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Take the initiative, and make things happen. Explore possibilities, and express your thoughts. Changes at home and in your important relationships can be positively altered to better suit your needs. Don’t be fooled by emotional blackmail. CANCER (June 21-July 22): Be careful where you leave your valuables or loose change. Financial limitations will occur if you overspend on entertainment or on a risky investment. Concentrate on health and wellness. An unusual outing will lead you down an interesting path and entertaining encounter. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Avoiding an argument will help you gain momen- tum and accomplish what you set out to do. Don’t let anyone put addition- al demands on you. Make the changes that will help you gain confidence and control over your life. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Observe what others do and say, especially if it concerns an emotional issue that can easily be misinterpreted. Stick to the facts, and you’ll find a way to create improvements rather than setbacks. If something is unclear, ask questions. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Getting together with someone from your past will prove to be an interesting experience full of surprises and emotions. A short trip will help you make a decision that has been causing uncertainty. Lead with your head, not your heart. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Focus inward on what’s important to you. Nurture a unique relationship to avoid any unnecessary discord. Keep life simple by taking care of responsibilities and avoiding complaints that can waste valuable time. Choose the road less-traveled. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Begin home-improvement projects, but stick to a budget. Arguments will waste time and take away from the results you are trying to achieve. Focus on adding value to whatever you do, but don’t go into debt to do so. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Expect a change in your personal money matters or a contract or settlement you’ve been working on. You are best to keep a steady pace to ensure that your responsibilities are taken care of and that promises you made are kept. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Partnership opportunities look good, but before you jump in, go over the details, and make sure you are satisfied with the way the work and finances are distributed. A change in your career path looks positive and prosperous. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Go over every single detail meticulously before agreeing to any paperwork that needs your signature. Put romance, nurturing, and self-gratification at the top of your list. Above all else, keep a clear con- science and a stellar reputation.
