Horoscope: Aug. 13

Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll be made aware that there’s much of the world you have yet to experience. You could have the sudden urge to travel.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Digital media are expedient, and yet personal touches will mean far more to the people with whom you are trying to connect.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You would rather not have to explain your every move, so you’ll make an effort to slip “under the radar.”

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your mood is influential. You also have the power to make others feel very comfortable or very nervous.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You have a tendency to push yourself, and some of the expectations you come up with are unreasonable. Make it your goal to practice and learn.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Every once in a while, it’s nice to remind yourself not to get too carried away with your own thought processes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Certain topics are sure to produce incendiary results now. You have a choice about how to respond and, for that matter, whether to respond at all.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You can safely assume that people like and respect you. If they act differently, it has to do with what they are going through.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Life is a party wherever you go. Some parties are more fun than others, but all will be better for your involvement.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You have a talent for understanding the dynamics of social interaction. You’ll note what you can and can’t control about the situation.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You are strong, able and ready to dive into a big project. Take the time to set up a system first. Then test and refine it.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 13): You’ll devise a unique method of working, and you will be promoted and paid well for it. The next six weeks bring unlikely friendships that are most enriching. An investment pays off in December. You’ll win a contest in January. Pisces and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 6, 26, 13 and 34.
