Horoscope: August 3

Aries (March 21-April 19): You are more creative than rich. Work on your skills, hone your vision and keep your eyes open for sponsors.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You are susceptible to the influence of your peers. But it’s time to shake loose from a certain person’s hold.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Much is determined by your socioeconomic circumstances. Then again, much more is attainable than you once thought. Take a risk.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You don’t have to know what your day is about — it will tell you as it goes along. The same is true of your work.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Your mind will be occupied with business matters. You have more to offer the world and feel certain you can get paid for it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Try not to finish too much on your own. You need the input of the group.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Dealing with family, especially the young, elderly and those closest to you, brings challenges. Breathe deeply.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Those who make a habit of passing judgment on others are usually so self-critical that they find it difficult to relax and have fun. Consider having fewer opinions.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will be a rock of stability for your family, and the best part is that you don’t have to do anything out of the ordinary.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): It’s only fair to admit when you’re wrong — but not so quickly. Lately, you’ve been apologizing too often.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It benefits you now to follow the rules, instructions and maps. There’s a good reason why you were advised to go a certain direction.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You’ll be presenting your ideas. A sketch is better than a finished layout. Leave room for input.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 3): You’ll be among those who see and are seen for their unique contributions to the world. A mentor helps you make money in September. Loved ones whisk you off on a June adventure. New work excites you in November. Scorpio, Pisces people adore you. Lucky numbers are 31, 4, 39, 32 and 18.
