HOROSCOPES

Happy birthday. Your charisma is shining strong this solar return. August features exploration, and four weeks later, you’ll benefit from what you discover. ARIES (March 21-April 19): Much will depend on the fitness of your competition. There’s little glory in an easy win.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): The invitation sounds promising. Say yes! The invitation is intriguing. Say yes! The invitation is to give with no hope of ever being repaid. Say yes!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21): You’re drawn to those who have earned their status. You’ve done this in the past, and you’re about to do it again.

CANCER (June 22-July 22): There’s something heroic in you. It will show in today’s reflexive impulse — a lightning-quick response to the needs of others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): To extract meaning and deep engagement from your activities is to avoid the anxiety and destruction that can sneak through the alleyway of existential boredom.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): There are no bad or wrong emotions. All of your emotions have a purpose for you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You will use your money to talk. You will boycott according to your beliefs and political views.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Life has a way of morphing into the thing you expect it to be. But what would it be if you didn’t impose your expectation?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): The adventure will start with new social contacts. Branch out. Ask friends to introduce you to people you don’t know.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Today you’ll be a receptacle for emotions that come from all over the place.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): There’s power in being cool; however, the enormously powerful don’t have to be cool to be accepted.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): Big companies were once small start-ups. Many ventures have their origins in a parent’s garage. You’ll be inspired by the work ethic of those who have built their dreams.
