HOROSCOPE

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Saturday, Aug. 31, 2019:

This year, you seem focused yet charming at the same time. People could have a difficult time saying no to you. If single, you might be surprised at the amount of interest you draw from the opposite sex. You really have your choice of the person and the type of bond you want.

ARIES

(March 21-April 19) You might drag a bit through the day. Obligations demand your attention, and you might wish for more free time. Do what you must, and trust that you will clear enough time for enjoying life.

TAURUS

(April 20-May 20) You are more anchored than you realize. Toss routine and go for summer fun. A child or loved one will appreciate the levity nearly more than you do. Realize that the end of summer is around the corner.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20) Your playfulness emerges even if you try to act in a serious manner. Your creativity comes out when you’re dealing with a family member who can be difficult. Your humor allows greater give and take, especially with any grump you might run into.

CANCER

LEO

(July 23-Aug. 22) You could be off considering a new venture. Be careful before committing to certain financial obligations. You know your limits, so honor them.

VIRGO

LIBRA

(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Mellow out during the daylight hours. Do not stress yourself out or do anything taxing. Confirm plans for the evening, and if you do not have any, make some.

CAPRICORN

(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your ability to move into different situations can be stilted at times. You could finally feel at ease with someone who lives a very different lifestyle.

AQUARIUS

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 20): You do not need to make excuses for being as frivolous as you might want to be. Just go off and be you. Notice how many people seek you out.
