HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): People will find out who you are through your actions, your stories or because you share your preferences.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You’re gutsy. You forget that sometimes. You’re lucky when you recognize the quality and make it count today.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Let others know where you were, what happened, and why they need to know.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You won’t ask your friends to help you unless you truly can’t do on your own.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You are choosy about who you like, and then obsessively loyal to your chosen ones.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): People have their own agendas, but they might adopt yours if it is appealing enough.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): If you stop saying yes so often, people will value your time and services a little more.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You love to know what’s really going on in people’s lives, but mostly they show you what their lives look like instead of what they feel like.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Your compassion is an enormous strength. You will ideally use it to be helpful, to teach others and/or be the catalyst for their growth.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You’ll hit the perfect note: surprising, but not obvious; spontaneous, but not impulsive; romantic, but nobody’s fool.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): You’ll be so involved in your process of curious enjoyment that you won’t even think to stop and commemorate it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): In friendship, you’ll deal with the other person’s flaws or be kind enough to look the other way. But you’re stricter when your heart’s on the line.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 19): This solar return, you’ll seize your moment, marching forward for your cause, a purpose that brings out your most regal characteristics. Windfall months: September and June. Cancer and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 30, 2, 21 and 16.
