JACQUELINE BIGAR

Your Horoscope for Friday, August 23

ARIES (March 21-April 19) ★★★ No matter what the situation, you will feel unusually tense. You might even develop an attitude, as you could feel that someone is nixing your ideas randomly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ★★★★ Plans could rapidly change as people’s emotions swing from one mood to another. Your response could be equally unpredictable. Try to relax and go with the flow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ★★★ You could become more uptight and fussier than you have been in a while. You might blame this change of mood on this or that, but the truth is simply that you feel differently at the moment.

CANCER ( June 21-July 22) ★★★★ Emotions surface once more. You feel as if there is something you are missing. You could also be picking up on what someone who is close to you is feeling.

LEO ( July 23-Aug. 22) ★★★★ You need to move a project forward and no longer get stuck in others’ reservations and thoughts. Confusion surrounds a personal matter, but it will clear up in a day or so.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) ★★★★ You suddenly feel energized. If a boss or someone you work with notices your high energy, you could have a lot of lastminute work dropped on you. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ★★★★★ Reach out for the unimagined. What appears as a nice but slightly impossible dream could actually become a reality.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ★★★ You zero in on what is going on with another person. You do not let them know when you can see they are avoiding telling you the whole story!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ★★★

You could feel tense. A comrade at work makes it clear he or she needs time with you. Make it your pleasure. You will get to know this person better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ★★★★

Eye a situation from the perspective of having known this person for a while. If someone seems too willing to go along with one of your ideas, find out why.

AQUARIUS ( Jan. 20-Feb. 18) ★★★★★

You can no longer hold yourself back. One-on-one relating is highlighted. You make the impossible possible by deciding that nothing is impossible.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) ★★★ You might be more tangled up in a personal situation than you would like. Understand where another person is coming from.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY (Aug. 23) This year, you often say one thing, yet go off and do something different. If single, giving off mixed messages could complicate a budding tie.
