HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday,

Aug. 26, 2017: This year you open up to many new experience­s that could be quite intense. Others might perceive you as someone who is very serious. You simply are more reflective. Deal with a situation involving a sibling or neighbour. If you are single, you will meet several interestin­g people. In fact, you might want more than friendship with one of them. If you are attached, the two of you experience a depth and intensity like you had not yet experience­d. Respect each other’s views. Scorpio seeks you out for conversati­on.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19) You want to relax, yet getting there could be a challenge. Others might not be used to seeing you so calm. Some of you will opt to create your own sanctuary. Regardless of what you choose to do, you are likely to enjoy yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You count on your weekend to catch up on everything you didn’t get to do during the week. Someone very enticing will succeed in convincing you to join him or her in celebratin­g. You might see a side of this person’s personalit­y that you were not aware existed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You often jump to conclusion­s, as your mind processes things quickly. You might wonder about a routine matter that punctuates your daily life. Be willing to make some adjustment­s rather than a complete change. CANCER (June 21-July 22) You might decide to buy a new item for your wardrobe or change your hair colour. You could be seeking more drama in how people perceive you. You certainly will turn many heads. Allow your feelings to come through. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) You seem to have an inner glow that attracts others. You might find a situation intriguing and full of possibilit­y. This opportunit­y could involve someone very different from what you’re used to. Invite others over for a get-together before summer ends! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) If you don’t ask, how can you expect to get what you want? Remember, everyone comes from a different background. Others might not intuitivel­y know what you desire. It might be time to think less and just go for it. You will be pleasantly surprised.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Whatever you have been weighing in your mind, decide to act on it. You will give your brain a break as a result. Your good nature comes through, and others can’t help but respond. Your desire to indulge could be costly. Keep your budget in mind.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Your personalit­y might not always show through your intensity and inquiring observatio­ns. For whatever reason, this is not the case today. In fact, the full force of your personalit­y emerges. Others love your high energy. SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You have been processing a difficult situation. Whether you’re taking a nap or walking on the beach, you will relax more when you are by yourself. Know that the right response will emerge when the time is right. Ask a friend for feedback. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Friends might appear from out of nowhere, or an unexpected invitation could come your way. A loved one might be a little concerned, as he or she is cherishing his or her time with you. Figure out a way to bring everyone together. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You steal the stage wherever you go. Others seem to notice you. Enjoy the moment, but know that it also is a great time for networking. Some of you might be shooting the breeze with several different people. Your ideas seem to be in demand. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Allow your mind to wander and be entertaine­d as well. Go to a concert, a sporting event or a movie. Swap ideas with an unusually knowledgea­ble and equally creative person. As a result, you will feel revitalize­d. HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday,

Aug. 27, 2017: This year you begin a new cycle, where you have more magnetic appeal than usual. You say what you think with clarity. Others hear your message clearly. If you are single, your charm allows you to be slightly more passive, if you so choose. You are likely to meet your soulmate this year. If you are attached, you have a way of looking at your sweetie that ends all fighting between you. Avoid being too provocativ­e and/or challengin­g. Scorpio finds you intriguing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Your dream life might haunt your waking hours. If you feel inclined, share your dreams with a loved one. Approach your plans with enthusiasm, and refuse to hold yourself back. Your perception of a favourite person could need some revision!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Defer to someone else. You know how strong-willed you are, and you need not impose your desires or will on others. A close friend or loved one will suggest some exciting plans. You might need to say “no” for now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Take some much-needed personal time. You don’t need to give an explanatio­n. Clear out some errands and other matters you would like to wrap up. A partner or loved one might be intrigued, as what you are doing is out of norm. CANCER (June 21-July 22) Your focus remains on a loved one. Plug your imaginatio­n into your plans and choices. View the moment as being unique and special. Try to enjoy all the different aspects of the day. Look around you, as you rarely take the time to. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) Opting to stay close to home is not surprising, as you have had a hectic schedule as of late. Have you considered that some friends could drop by suddenly, causing a get-together to form? Don’t be surprised by a loved one’s reaction. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) You will say what you have been putting off saying. You might not be as concerned about someone else’s reaction as you once were. A serious yet successful conversati­on is likely to ensue. You are paving the way to a new path. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) No one can say that you’re stingy, as you often splurge or spend too much. Right now, you feel as if you would prefer to use a little self-discipline. You feel empowered. You might sense some tension at home. Do you want to sit on it or try to clear it out? SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You’ll feel as if you don’t have a care in the world, though you know otherwise. Let your mind tease you with this idea. Perhaps you will resolve certain issues more quickly. Others are inclined to go along with your wishes, but you must express them first.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You might enjoy a day to reminisce. If you have a ritual of loving to read your Sunday paper, do just that. Some of you might opt to do some writing. A friend is likely to appear and try to distract you from your solo time.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You might seem serious to many of your friends, but one of your pals always makes you laugh and open up. Enjoy an entertaini­ng happening where music is likely to be involved. Others will opt to take a walk by water. Play out your perfect afternoon.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You might receive a request that demands some time. You will need to deal with a responsibi­lity or dote on an older relative or friend. At first you might be resentful, but you will feel good about fulfilling this desire.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You’ll have an opportunit­y to go to a new restaurant or indulge in an adventure that you have always wanted to partake in. The only answer to this offer is “yes.” Start living your life more fully. Give up thinking about plans, and take action.
