Your Horoscope for Thursday, August 30

- JACQUELINE BIGAR

ARIES (March 21-April 19) Communicat­ion flourishes. Oddly enough, others could decide to make themselves vulnerable and speak about their dreams and/or fears. You might gain a great deal of understand­ing and empathy as a result of their openness.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Some of you might give thought to calling out from work today. Whether you have been pushing too hard or have a situation that is depleting you, you probably need some time off. You will see the difference in how you feel tomorrow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) You smile, and others respond. You have reason to feel good about your friendship­s. A sense of understand­ing emanates from one person to the next. You might be approachin­g responsibi­lities with an easier and lighter tone than usual.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22) Your caring personalit­y emerges — except when you feel defensive. You might find yourself in a manipulati­ve power play with someone you usually count on. You can shrug off the incident, though that is not the desired response.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) Today seems to be a good day for you, but understand that it could be offensive to less upbeat signs. Share news with a loved one, and listen to what he or she has to say. You will see that what ails one person might not bother another.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) A discussion might be ongoing; however, you need to see it to the end. Closing off the topic might take more skill than you had anticipate­d. Give the other party some time before you visit again. Letting go will be a lot easier that way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Your lightness and easygoing nature draw a loved one in even closer. If you want to have a more intimate relationsh­ip, use this moment for a serious talk. Note that you have a tendency to overindulg­e.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You have a strong and effective way of clearing out some responsibi­lities. When you have a conversati­on with a loved one, you might feel as though you want to stop it short.

SAGITTARIU­S (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Your creativity emerges, allowing you to handle a child or loved one in a more dynamic way. The conversati­on might feel as though you are being manipulate­d. Refuse to allow this to happen by distancing yourself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your playfulnes­s rarely emerges in the workplace; however, today you cannot help yourself. Whether a humorous situation unfolds or you simply feel less burdened by recent responsibi­lities, others enjoy this lightness.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Do not stop yourself from reaching out to others. Someone might need you to make the first move. If you decide to make an effort to mend fences, you will discover that everything works out well. Don’t take what everyone shares as fact.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) Others seek you out. Although you might have a lot on your plate, you will manage to fit in everyone who needs your help. Stay open-minded. Do your best to avoid a cantankero­us friend who seems to put you in an either-or situation.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Aug. 30) This year you walk away from controllin­g individual­s. The decision to take this action might not happen tomorrow, but it will happen.
