HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020: Intense, poised and energetic, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to. This year, you accomplish most after mid-year. You initiate your own project, which is very successful and you enjoy enormously. If single, you appear cool (although you are not) and generally discourage suitors without realizing it. If attached, you are in a kind of heaven and can finally, purely, relax. VIRGO is with you completely.
