HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): It won’t matter whether you shout or you whisper; what matters is that you get the attention you need to move your agenda along.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): When you see that something has 40% of what you want, don’t make the mistake of assuming that the other 60% is forthcoming.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): As much as you’d like to hand the wishes of someone over on a silver platter, it would devalue the goods.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Sometimes the right thing to do just happens to be a wrong thing. Wrong might be the missing spice.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Take a risk with your heart, your money, your ego — whichever you feel you have a lot of.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Adventure awaits. You may find it around the corner at your local mini-mart, or it may take the form of an unexpected trip.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Let go of shame and blame. Try to see it as something just for you — a source of fuel instead of baggage.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): A new environment you visit will give you a boost, so put yourself where you’ve never been before.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You’re willing to walk away from the table when it’s not what you want. So set the price and stick to it awhile.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You may feel a bit under-rehearsed, but give what you have so far.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There are no boring people, only people who behave in a boring way because they aren’t being properly stimulated. Ask better questions.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): There’s a favorable change in your financial picture coming up, and it starts with the work you do today.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 27): You’ve a balanced sense of your capabilities, though as you apply them to improving your lot, you’ll find out that you vastly underestimated what you could do. The winter holidays will be romantic. Your lucky numbers are: 21, 13, 28, 39 and 44.
