Horoscope: Aug. 16
By Holiday Mathis

August 16, 2009
Aries (March 21-April 19): You’ll be presented with a task at which someone else failed. This is, in fact, a lucky break. Your temperament is suited to this job.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Those who come to you to be consoled may wish they had visited a Libra or Aquarius instead. You’re inclined to state the truth.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Strong emotions come as a reaction to reading a book or watching a show. It’s nice when a story can make you understand the depth of your heart.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Take your time and make sure you understand everything. Ask questions. You’ll move slowly toward a realization.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Get out with old friends and do new things. You’ll be reminded how charming they are. It will be pleasing to see them interact with those you don’t know.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You could separate your own views from a teacher’s views, part ways with a guru or decide to mentor another. You’ll see the world with new eyes.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): It’s not enough to hear that you are important and appreciated. It needs to be represented in the actions that others take.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Just because you do a job well doesn’t mean you should do it forever. It’s time to teach someone to take over certain responsibilities.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): For you to be happy, you must be involved with others. A heavenly mindset enraptures you when you’re busy interacting, exchanging and creating.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Nothing is inherently serious until you decide it is. Realizing this, you have compassion for those who make a big deal over something they care about.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): “What were they thinking?” is the theme. You’ll witness unlikely pairings and confusing actions. You usually sense motives, but after today, you’ll be almost too puzzled to guess.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): This is no time for theorizing. Don’t settle for hearing about life or imagining what it might be like to do something. Find out firsthand.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 16): You’ll go into this year on an emotional high. You ascend the mood of whatever circumstance you find yourself in. September brings good friends and glamorous work. A getaway in March is for a noble cause. Aquarius and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are 3, 22, 38, 19 and 43.
