Daily Horoscope Monday, August 8

Everything looks like candy--good business deals, great ideas, etc. If you get to pick and choose--go for the long-run instead of fulfilling the needs of the moment. You are respected for your ability to pick and choose accordingly. You develop a knack for organizing things and people. Work, achievement and ambition are the things that mean a lot to you. Your words and ideas can transport and enchant listeners; carrying them beyond the world they know and into a world as they wish it could be. Your imagination and sense of what connects all of life are felt in your speech and in the way you communicate. Take the time to give a helping hand or a listening ear to young people. A fable will help you get your message over to a young person this evening.

Everything points to your taking the initiative this day. You will have more support than you thought possible. This is a lucky day and energies are in your favor for whatever you want to accomplish. Your career, practical vision and skills are of central importance to you. You are organized and deliberate in this area of life. Your reputation and image are a source of concern and you do everything you can to make them solid. Interestingly enough, if you look around, you will find your job security is more secure than ever. You may find that over the past few months you have enlarged your scope of friends. The new people have similar goals to your own new goals--you will help each other to reach. Your life seems to be moving in very positive ways.

This is a great time to team work. You may be chosen to perform a particular job. You may decide to take a few risks and dare to be different. You will prosper through new insights, inventions and an independent point of view. You have great ideas and your career could improve and open up through some new approaches. Don't be afraid to assert yourself. Freedom is a watchword of yours and if your professional life does not include travel, you could feel rather trapped. It could be time to look into ways in which you could benefit the company for which you work, perhaps through some travel and contact with other businesses or customers. A friend visits you this evening, and you find that you have more in common than you thought!

You are a natural architect and builder, able to use your mind to make decisions in matters of form and function. For you, the goal and the way to get to it are the same thing. You like to build each step and have each decision clear. Things must be done right, which can become worrying for others at times. You might work better by yourself or within an assembly program. You also have great skill with the law, whether man-made or those of nature; you can put all of this into words. You understand how to handle authorities and have a natural gift at solving problems. Careful review of your finances may find you planning a vacation or a budget. Lovers, children and other people or things dear to you are emphasized tonight.

Ambition and achievement questions are on your mind today. This is a time for getting ahead, for combining business and pleasure, for enjoying your career and savoring its rewards. The social graces can help you in your quest to succeed. This is a good day for practical ideas and planning pertaining to your work or vocation. You may receive some recognition regarding your particular skills and abilities. Outer circumstances and the flow of events make it easy for you to make good decisions, see the road ahead and move forward. Things seem to fall into place and progress is easy. Be careful not to overextend or bite off more than you can chew. Perhaps a visit to a spa for a massage and perhaps a soak in the special waters would be nice.

Self-discipline and a sense of self-worth become important issues in your life this morning. There are plenty of opportunities to excel in business at this time. The way you work is transformed; there is a high-tech element to this, plus a reorganization of the way you work with other people. A fear of expressing yourself can hold you back. The trick is in learning to make the most of your personal talents and working within your limitations instead of feeling hemmed in by them. Stop funding energy to what does not work and you will become successful. Some of you have not changed your health habits. However, radical new approaches to health, diet and exercise can change your life now, as a whole new health--consciousness appears.

You could have difficulty getting your ideas across to others this morning. Pay attention, but know that this is probably the result of a fully packed weekend! Try a different method of expressing yourself later in the day. Your efforts will not go unnoticed. Logic seems to get you where you want to go. Your ambitions and goals are central to your character. Much of your personal life hinges on pursuing your own success. This is a time to take risks and dare to be a little unconventional. You will prosper through new insights, inventions and an independent point of view. Your career could assume a more resolute and solid form. This afternoon a try at some group sports will work off some of the stresses from earlier today.

There is a need to be respected. Perhaps someone is trying to take credit for your hard work. This could become an emotionally charged issue--if you allow it. All will be discovered in due time--stay quiet, if at all possible--there is much to do. Work, achievement and ambition are the things that mean a lot to you now. You are always exploring and testing theories, other's and yours. This afternoon is perfect for making new friends. You may also find yourself drawn to the unusual when it comes to love at this time--you should feel free to express your needs. The ability you and a loved one share to read the other's thoughts may bring unexpected rewards. Involve your family in some fun games and puzzles this evening.

There is a drive to probe and penetrate now--this may find you examining and working through some strong internal changes. Push too hard and you could be too dominating to yourself and others. This is a great time to be with others and to work together--much is accomplished. You alter between the radical, rebellious and independent person you feel yourself to be and a more conservative and traditional bent. Your organized moments may lack originality and your crazier moments want caution--an ongoing battle. The rebel in you likes to ignore your dreams and ideals and just let come what may. You relish your freedom and independence and pursue it even at the expense of what you really want. Put yourself in a creative environment this evening.

This is a time when you can expect a little boost, some sort of extra support or recognition from those around you. You may feel that you are in touch and in harmony with others and the lines of communication are open. The support you need is available for whatever you want to accomplish. Your own inner psychology and vulnerabilities are open to you now; almost as if in a waking dream. A renewed interest in exploring the realm of dreams and imagination finds you getting to the heart of your sensitive areas. This is a time of soul-searching during which you examine your ideals and goals with an eye to separating the wheat from the chaff. You could take an interest in world unity and a more communal type of existence.

This is a day to strengthen your career. Your organizational abilities and sense of responsibility may guide your movements today. You appear your usual easygoing self today. Everything seems to be working together and you may find yourself expressive and able to communicate well. Your patience may be needed, however, when you are called on to instruct or update another in some business technique. This is a time that is perfect for starting something or for taking care of business. Others may find you a smooth talker with a quick wit and ready tongue--very physical too. Your home environment, friends and surroundings get your attention this evening. It could be dinner out or arranging time to just relax and communicate with a loved one.

This may be a difficult day to keep your mind on the business world. There is a real possibility that the decisions you make and the solutions you find in this business world may have to be reworked tomorrow. Others want to help you, if help is needed. A community, church, business or a charity planning committee may be in the making this afternoon. The planning committee has been a long time in coming and now there may be an opportunity to have people work together in a most positive way. Your part in all of this may be in helping to encourage voting or support those that want to make a difference. You will have an opportunity to speak about an important matter. Love is in the air this evening; enjoy receiving or giving attention.

Pornographic actors and STDs

Because of the nature of their work, usually involving sex without condoms, pornographic actors were traditionally vulnerable to sexually transmitted diseases. In a paper written by LA Public Health officials claimed that among 825 performers screened in 2000–2001, 7.7% of females and 5.5% of males had chlamydia, and 2% overall had gonorrhea. These rates are much higher than in patients visiting family planning clinics, where chlamydia and gonorrhea rates were 4.0% and 0.7%, respectively. Between January 2003 and March 2005, approximately 976 performers were reported with 1,153 positive STD test results. Of the 1,153 positive test results, 722 (62.6 %) were chlamydia, 355 (30.8%) were gonorrhea, and 126 (10.9%) were coinfections with chlamydia and gonorrhea. Less is known about the prevalence and risk of transmission of other STDs such as syphilis, herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, hepatitis B or C, trichomonal infection, or diseases transmitted through the fecal–oral route. The data collection of LA public health was criticized by adult industry sources on the grounds that most of those testing positive had never made an adult film-and were in fact being excluded from adult film acting until they had treated their STDs. Non-treatable STDs like HSV represent a difficult case: according to actress Chloe, "After you've been in this business for a while, you have herpes. Everyone has herpes."

The high rate of STDs in the adult film industry started to change in 1998 when major adult film producers started implementing a regular periodic testing program for adult film actors. In the 1980s, an outbreak of HIV led to a number of deaths of erotic actors and actresses, including John Holmes, Wade Nichols, Marc Stevens, Al Parker, Lisa De Leeuw. This led to the creation of the Adult Industry Medical Health Care Foundation (AIM), which helped set up a voluntary standard in the U.S. adult film industry where erotic actors are tested for HIV, Chlamydia and Gonorrhea every 30 days-and twice a year for HSV, Hepatitis and Syphilis. AIM posts test results on their website identified with the actors drivers license number so they can be shared without any possibility of fraud. AIM claims that this program has reduced the rate of STDs among adult film actors to 20% that of the general population. These claims have been criticized by various public health authorities-but there have been no controlled studies that support the claims of public health authorities that AIM's testing approach is not working.
