Horoscope

Happy birthday: for Sunday, Aug. 27. 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 favorite person could need some revision! Tonight: Opt to be a duo. 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. Tonight: Don’t even think about making this an early night. 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. Tonight: Know when to call it a night. 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. Tonight: Others note the spring in your step. 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. Tonight: Try to get a good night’s sleep. 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.

You feel empowered. You might sense some tension at home. Do you want to sit on it or try to clear it out? Tonight: Walk the dog. 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. Tonight: Plans emerge. 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. Tonight: Do only what you absolutely want to do. 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. Tonight: Adapt your plans. 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. Tonight: You are a star wherever you are. 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.
