YOUR HOROSCOPE
Birthday Guy: Actor Chad Michael Murray was born in Buffalo, N.Y., today in 1981. This birthday guy starred as Lucas Scott on “One Tree Hill” from 2003-2012. He played Jack Thompson on “Agent Carter” and starred in the short-lived series “Sun Records.” Murray also starred in the 2018 TV movie “The Beach House” and has appeared on episodes of “Scream Queens” and “Southland.” Aries (March 21-April 19): Toe the line until you reach the finish line. The small inconveniences and extra responsibilities required to follow the rules or save a few dollars can be well worth the strain. Let a passing fancy pass on by.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): A regular routine is the route to rewards and recognition. If you work your fingers to the bone, sometimes all you get is bony fingers. Right now, your selfdiscipline and perseverance can lead to success.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): An accurate vision of future trends can protect you from repeating past mistakes. Sit back and think about how to turn a deficit into an asset. Lost items might be found, and misplaced emotions put back in the drawer.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Be cruel to be kind. The quickly passing pain of an inoculation can prevent weeks of illness. It is shrewd to take steps to prevent future discomfort or worry. Other people may be simply doing what they consider right.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Security can be an incentive. The little economies and corner-cutting techniques you put in place now can pay off over time. Take pride in creative financial selfdiscipline; perhaps you can automate your savings plan.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Things that you put into motion now can be expected to continue to go well for a long time. A certain someone will prove to a stalwart teammate. Take pride in an ability to be factual without being critical.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): You have plenty of shelf life left so there is no reason to rush in to a new liaison prematurely. True love and lasting affection demand more than a compelling magnetic attraction and sizzling hot hormones.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): Those who have known you for ages picture you as they first knew you. Constant contact with old friends cancels the aging process. Your desire to please might bring desired results with family members and loved ones.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Those who study the past can understand the future. Your experience and knowledge are valuable assets especially when you address financial affairs. Develop a plan of action that will stabilize your budget.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Focus on the truth and nothing but the truth. There is a tendency to be evasive, mysterious, or vague, although it never hurts to be discreet. Try not to become a control freak as you direct your time and plans.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You don’t require assistance. You will make the most progress by being independent and finding your own unique way to the top. Let worries simmer in the background while you find an ingenious solution.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You may prefer to work in a quiet place or steer clear of the spotlight. Your secret plans, hopes, and wishes may revolve around improvements to your home. Find a way to solve a work dilemma or a health problem.
If August 24 is your birthday: During the next six to eight weeks, your life can take a clear-cut change of direction that will result in improved circumstances and fulfillment of your desires. September is a particularly good time to make a serious romantic commitment or to pursue a new job or career. You can embrace major changes with a clear conscience in October when you are a rock star in your local circle. This is an excellent time to start a new set of habits or to join a new group of like-minded people. The people you meet will have your best interest at heart and you can launch plans without a hitch. Avoid making important changes during November, as you may be merely on a wild goose chase.
