LEO(Jul 23-Aug 22) Happy birthday, Lion cub! Even though the majority of your friends find you hopelessly stuck in teenaged attitudes and emotional levels, most of the rest of August should find you showing off your finer (and more mature) points. You should feel quite strong and full of courage these days, able to tackle and overcome just about anything. You seem to really believe in what you’re trying to get these days, even if that only means the ability to ‘just say no’ for an entire weekend. Now is the time to do instead of thinking about doing. It’s also about love winning over hate, so perhaps you can let go of some of that old emotional baggage you’ve been carrying around. Carrying? More like towing! Lions like you: Kajol, Charlize Theron, Coolio

AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18) While August doesn’t appear to be holding a whole lot of promise for unbridled passion and excitement for you Water Bearers, you should be able to scoot through it relatively happily and without too much scarring. A good deal of your time will probably be devoted to personal relationships over the next two weeks. Your friends and family may take more attention than usual…and then there’s your love life. (Yes, you CAN be attractive without being strung out on X!) Be looking for someone new and exciting to come into your life. Someone you can trust and how just might be the one you’ve been waiting for. Of course, if you’re already involved…what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him. Right? Water Bearers like you: Jeremy Sumpter, Natalie Imbruglia, Shakira

VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22) As hard as this might be for you Virgins to believe, you’ve kicked into what should be short but exceedingly sweet period of prosperity. Material gain and well being appears to be in your immediate future. (Did you place an ad in Frontiers…again?) The rest of the month should be concentrating on achieving and accomplishing all the stuff you’ve been trying to get done for months. It’s as if someone suddenly let the emergency brake off while you’ve got the pedal to the metal. Everything just seems to MOVE and move at a break-neck pace. As long as you fasten your seatbelts, it shouldn’t be too bumpy a night. But speaking of “bumps”…well, let’s not! Virgins like you: Rose McGowan, Greg Rusedski, Beyonce Knowles

PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20)While you Fishies have your wild and overindulgent sides (as your local hospital personnel can attest!) you’ll probably find the remainder of this month to be relatively calm and peaceful. In fact, your deeper and more philosophical sides are likely to emerge right about now and startle those who only see you as a party boy. A new thirst for knowledge might temporarily replace your unquenching desire for liquor as you seek to get more in touch with your more spiritual sides. You might even withdraw for a time from your fast-paced social life to try and understand yourself a little better. And since your self-understanding is almost nonexistent – there’s a lot for you to learn! Fishies like you: Niki Taylor, Jake Lloyd, Eli Marienthal

LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23)Honey child…if there’s any way you can slip quietly into a coma for the next few weeks, you should. You’re facing some bizarre experiences these days, some that might even have some potentially dangerous consequences. Other than locking yourself in the bathroom and having Pizza Hut deliver through the window, though, there’s not much you can do to avoid most of it. However, part of the problem is that you may feel inclined to go a little too wild and get pretty self-destructive. Face it, you destroy yourself quite enough without having to work at it. The last thing you need is another visit to a detox ward or an emergency room to remind you just how “on the edge” you are! Librans like you: Kaci, Ashlee Simpson, Eric von Detten

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19 ) Oh, dear…most of you Rams aren’t going to have much reason to celebrate throughout the next few weeks. You’re a whole lot more likely to veer towards ruin and affliction than you are that pot of gold at the end of the rainbow you’re always seeking. This could be an emotionally draining time, filled with sorry and – perhaps – tears. Boys DO cry…especially those who never grew up, like you. However, there’s really no need to let all this sudden misfortune get the best of you. Your natural inclination might be to drink too much, drug too much or trick too much – especially if you’re not single. You might try turning to your lover or friends – they can do more than simply entertain you! Rams like you: Candace Cameron, Heath Ledger, Jamie Lynn Spears

SCORPIO (Oct 21-Nov 22) Finally! Some good news to pass along to you pessimistic and negative little Scorpions. Home is very important to you right now and you might find yourself spending a lot more time there over the coming couple of weeks than you have in quite a while. Even better, you’ll be happy to do so. The rest of August should be a reasonably contented time for you. You should feel joy and pleasure at just about all aspects of your life right now. Money probably won’t be too dreadful and your love/sex lives may surprise you with how fulfilling they can be. This is especially true for you Scorpios involved in relationships. However, for those of you who aren’t…there’s always the nearest bath house! Stingers like

TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20) Well, the next couple of weeks will probably one of those “glass half-empty/glass half-full” situations. You are facing quite an impressive amount of work to do if you wish to accomplish your goals. It certainly won’t be easy and you’re quite likely to face more than your share of opposition and conflicts in your quest to achieve. But in spite of all the labor and effort you’re going to encounter, the good news is that you’re very likely to end up able to attaining everything you working towards. You, who are no stranger to expending unending energy on the dance floor (or on a public bathroom floor), shouldn’t mind hauling your tired ass up another mountain or two! Bulls like you: Craig David, Danielle Fishel, Tina Yothers

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21)To your immense relief, Archer, the rest of August doesn’t seem to be hiding any unforeseen stresses or tension. You should be feeling a measure of contentment with your life as it is today. And you might also be looking back to the past a bit more than usual, as well. On the whole, this seems to be a very comforting and nostalgic thing as you tend to remember to good times far more than the bad. However, excessive walks (or in your case, cruises) down Memory Lane may awaken a desire to have things the way they once were. And that may diminish your enjoyment of today. Since your todays don’t tend to be all that enjoyable, why ruin a good thing while you’ve got it? Centaurs like you: Frankie Muniz, Tyra Banks, Lila McCann

GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21) Yippee! So what if 2000 has been pretty much an uphill climb for you Twins? The rest of August should help to make up for all the stress and heartache you’ve encountered so far this year. Monetarily, you seem to be in an excellent position. In your work and in regards to all things financial, you should be feeling quite satisfied and content with all that comes to you now. Your health appears much more stable than it had been recently and you have all the advantages on your side to emerge victorious from just about any endeavor you tackle these days. If your love life isn’t showing a whole lot of improvement…well, you can’t have everything. Haven’t you learned that already? Twins like you: Staci Keanan, Lalaine, Larisa Oleynik

CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19) Oh, baby! Since money tends to dominate your thoughts more than most other human beings, you’re about to be in hog heaven! The remainder of August appears to be offering you financial opportunities that even YOU haven’t imagined possible. In short, your possibilities to earn cash right now don’t seem to have any limits. So don’t try to make yourself think in ordinary down-to-earth terms and place a ceiling where it should be al fresco. A lot of this overwhelming prosperity may have some kind of connections with family, so whether it’s an inheritance or an expansive gift from a relative…it’s yours for the taking. And Jesus, will you ever take it! Goats like you: Marilyn Manson, Alex D. Linz, Taye Diggs

CANCER (June 22-July 22) Quite a few of you Crab types tend to be extremists. You tend to work too hard, play too hard and take far too long to recuperate from your bouts of alcoholic or narcotic excesses. So it may come as quite a blow to learn that your key to getting through the coming few weeks without a great deal of trauma is to do everything in moderation. That means holding back on your impulsive spending sprees and watching your budget. (Watching your waistline may always be important, which means not giving in to ‘the munchies’ every time they hit.) Sticking to the straight and narrow path may not be your idea of a good time, but if you could see the alternative – and I can, sweetie – you’d be tightening your belt and closing your wallet!
