Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Monday, Aug. 27, 2018:

This year events might force you to look at your anger and other forms of self-expression. You might decide to transform areas that do not serve you well. If you are single, you could go through several suitors. You are changing, so what suits you at first might not a few months later. If you are attached, hopefully your sweetie will appreciate your transformation. On some level, these changes are occurring because you are relating to this person. Pisces often challenges you.

The stars show the kind of day you’ll have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

★★★ After months of Mars — your ruling planet — dancing a backward jig, it now goes forward. You might need a day to be free of this period. Much of what has simmered in the back of your mind could cascade into your actions. Your strength will be increased.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★ You have been holding back and contemplating your words. You might have felt angry or frustrated as of late, but you have resisted ranting and raving. You could be persuaded to let go. A partner feels as if the air has finally been cleared.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★ Events push you into the limelight, which could be an interesting place to hang out. Others seem particularly unstable. Just smooth out the rough spots, if you can. You could feel pressed by the end of the day. Know that others feel the same.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Relating to others has become quite complicated this month, with fuses blowing. You do not need to hold a grudge, though you might want to. You still have time to practice expressing those ugly feelings in a palatable way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ A partner or close friend would like to have you visit for a short while. This person loves sharing with you and getting your feedback, which often reveals your high emotional IQ. You might get a positive reaction to a matter involving your real estate.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★ You might feel pulled in opposite directions at the present moment. You are likely to reveal some of the frustration you are experiencing. Don’t worry about feedback — you will be getting plenty, perhaps even more than your fair share.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★ Reach out to an associate who has been touchy for the past few months. This person’s finicky attitude might not have changed yet, but it will in time. This situation probably surrounds a personal relationship. Give others some space to change their tune.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★★ You might feel lucky, and events in the next few weeks most likely will reinforce those feelings. As fortunate and creative as you can be, you experience the unexpected today. An area of your life could spin out of control. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ You could be in a pickle and just finding out about it from an irate loved one. You could try using your charm, but only a change or explanation can clear out this bump in the road. Gather all of the facts before addressing the problem.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You say the right words when facing a problem on the home front. If you are patient, it will clear up. You might be surprised at the source of the irritation. Remain open-minded and easygoing if you want to see a restoration of the good times.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ Use caution with your funds, whether you’re giving or receiving them. A fast change of pace could be disconcerting at first. You might experience some unexpected anger, or so it seems. You’ve been sitting on these feelings for a while.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Despite the vicissitudes of the day, you feel good about yourself. An intense discussion that might have turned sarcastic actually has helped clear the air. Take on a meaningful challenge. You are attracting more of what you want; go for it.
