Horoscopes

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 31, 2018:

This year you take risks more often than in the past. Once you take on a new attitude, you’ll have difficulty returning to your previous ways. You will clear out what no longer seems relevant. If you are single, you could become involved with someone from a type of background very different from yours. Enjoy this bond, but give yourself time. If you are attached, your and your sweetie’s combined efforts create a special vacation. For this trip, the two of you might sign up for a course to learn a new language. Taurus can help you think through a problem.

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)

★★★ You might need to take some time off. Make sure your budget works well with potential plans. You do not want to pay for months because of this adventure; you simply want to relax. Treating someone to dinner does not need to break the bank.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

★★★★★ You hit your power days this month. You feel as though nothing can stop you. Do not tempt Lady Luck; she is on your team for now. News comes forward that makes you uncomfortable. Verify the information you are hearing.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

★★★ You could be off-kilter when dealing with a personal matter. You might feel as if too much is left unsaid. Don’t get too upset by what a friend shares. An associate acts in a most unexpected way. Reveal more of your feelings, not your intellectual viewpoint.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

★★★★ Your emotional perspective might be more important than you think. Listen carefully, and make sure you understand where others are coming from. Initiate a talk to clear the air. Know that you might not have all the answers just yet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

★★★★ You could experience a jolt once you leave home. Some news involving a friend or associate elicits a strong internal response. No matter what is happening around you, you stay poised and know what is necessary to complete a project.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

★★★★ You might need to look beyond the obvious, especially in conversations and one-on-one interactions. Understand what is happening with those around you. Your words will express a lot of knowledge and make communication easier.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

★★★★ You find that a loved one is intense and has eyes only for you. How flattering! You might want to decide how involved you want to become. You could find your decision difficult to stick to. A family member would prefer to keep you close to home.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

★★★★ You might be delighted by a loved one’s or close associate’s poise when dealing with a difficult matter. Ask yourself: When did you last share your thoughts about this person with him or her? You might want to be more expressive.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

★★★ You like to indulge others; however, you really need to watch your tendency to overspend. You have a lot to do before you feel ready to complete a certain project. You might need to defer to others for now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

★★★★ You could have to deal with a problem that you’d prefer to walk away from. Tap into your creativity. You recognize where there is a problem and where a change needs to occur. Before you reveal your thoughts, you might decide how to make this adjustment.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

★★★ Avoid a stubborn attitude, whether it is yours or someone else’s. You could find that enjoying yourself is close to impossible. Let go, and make the most of the moment. You need to honour your sense of direction. Complete what you must.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

★★★★ Someone you care about can talk your ear off. If you mention this trait to this person, he or she is likely to become very quiet. Encourage an openness, but limit the time you are together. That solution might work for a few of you.
