Horoscope: Aug. 10

Aries (March 21-April 19): You'll be given so much attention you'll wonder what's going on. It's as though someone thinks you're the only person on the Earth.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Someone is happy to have you around and might show you off in a manner that makes you feel like a trophy. Flattering. Annoying.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): An opinion that you unconsciously cling to is holding you back. Lose your point of view and really listen to another person.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Is love enough? Sometimes. But it sure does help if there are mutual friends, a solid economic situation and the approval of family.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You want to know that loved ones care about you. You don't need to know that lots of money was spent. It's about the thought.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You might be having trouble gaining cooperation for your latest endeavor. Believe in yourself, then others will too.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Give a loved one the benefit of the doubt, again and again if you have to. You're not foolish for doing so. Some lessons take longer to learn.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): The one you love the most also has the capacity to hurt you the most. Go forward anyway, with an open heart.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Some teachers are encouraging, kind and admiring. Those who are difficult, insulting and invasive help you learn even faster.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you like something that doesn't cost too much, you can have lots of it and pretend you are rich. Hold on. You won't be pretending.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You finish what another person started. If you're getting too much attention, include the other person in your acceptance speech.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Through service, you create good karma. Whatever happy events befall you, you deserve them.
