Your Horoscope for Wednesday, August 24
ARIES (March 21-April 19) You can be serious-minded when you want to be, but an indulgent theme seems to run through the day. Talks surrounding financial risks will make the moment even more serious.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You’ll go full speed ahead with a matter that is important to you. Others might find it difficult to get your attention. Your easygoing nature is likely to emerge.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Use the daylight hours to move forward with a personal issue or to do something just for you. Take your leave from your many friends, even if it’s just for a few hours.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) You could feel out of sync, as you try to approach a situation differently. Clearly you know what you want, and you’ll put in the effort to accomplish it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) You might be close to the end of your patience with an authority figure who won’t leave you alone. Try not to lose your temper. Meanwhile, a close friend or loved one could become very supportive in the midst of all this uproar.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Aug. 24) This year you often change your tune and go from being grounded to somewhat flaky. Others might not be sure who they are speaking with at times. Your multifaceted personality can be confusing to those around you.
