HOROSCOPES

Week of August 19, 2009

ARIES
Are you brave enough (to be quietly is-armed)? Have you the courage (to let your fires dwindle)? Do you got what it takes (to allow conflict to dissolve)? The omens suggest that if you rams are at least willing to consider more peaceful alternatives, the masters of the universe will meet you more than halfway.

If filled with the craving to tear your victim to shreds, conjure the powers of comedy and compassion.
