Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday,

Aug. 24, 2018:

This year you have to sort through more confusion and misunderstandings than you are used to. You will gain because of this necessity. You’ll also feel that you are more in control of your life. If you are single, be aware that you could meet someone who is emotionally unavailable. Take your time before you decide to get involved. If you are attached, the two of you often cannot be found. You love being by yourselves. Aquarius does not understand why you are not more available.

The stars show the kind of day
