Horoscopes for August 18, 2008

August 18, 2008 12:21 am

— Lots of exciting things are brewing in the year ahead, but many of them will develop at their own pace. Keep your mind flexible and willing to make changes when new opportunities pop up and dictate as much.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your possibilities for material gain look extremely encouraging at this time. The circumstances that produce it could come about through a most unexpected source -- and just when you least expect it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- A relationship that you've gone along with for a number of years might possibly take a radical turn. An unexpected event could suddenly trigger the needed alteration.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- This might be the day you decide that you've had enough and finally seek out opportunities to free yourself from any excessive demands that others are placing on you. Think twice before you act.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Your restlessness could take the form of seeking new recreation and sources of amusement; it could make you far more willing to mingle with others and experiment with new activities.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- If things are going better for you at this time than they are for some of your close friends, be modest and low-key in their company. Keep your excitement to a minimum.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You could receive some news that might not be exactly what you had expected. Although it may give you pause for a moment, it'll turn out to be happy tidings in the long run.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) - Your financial situation at this time dictates that you need to be extremely flexible in order to keep things on an even keel. However, this doesn't mean that reason should go out the window.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Don't put any limitations on your expectations, because you are in an extremely hopeful cycle where many good things could happen. Visualize what you want -- and then go for it.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Normally, you overtly come on quite strong, but you'll keep that strength quietly subdued until you are ready to explode with all the necessary energy it takes to succeed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Be a good listener and a keen observer, because there is much to learn that will serve your interests well. Some surprising information could come from a least-expected source.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- There's a strong chance you could make a radical change in your workaday world at this time. Boredom could be the catalyst, or you could be looking for a way to express your individuality in an effort to gain more clout.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Something could occur that will serve to expand your awareness of your world; it could also be a way to gain more insights into something important to you. Keep your options open.
