Astrology of Friday, August 2

Yesterday was full of exuberance and optimism and socializing, but today you are a little more subdued. Was yesterday's optimism practical for you? You have no desire to compromise your freedom and individuality for optimistic thinking alone. The way forward in life is reviewed, not with blind faith, but with a discriminating eye. Not to say that yesterday's optimism and desires were unfounded - they represent legitimate needs. But today, you double check to ensure that this optimism can also fit your other practical needs. How can you make things a little edgier, take a risk, find something new - without compromising the good things in your life.
