JACQUELINE BIGAR’S HOROSCOPE
For Sunday, Aug. 23
ARIES
(March 21-April 19) You could be full of energy, ready to take off for your version of an escape. You might want to invite a child or a loved one along. Confusion surrounds a technical matter that you will be able to bypass.
TAURUS
(April 20-May 20) Your imagination takes you beyond the obvious and prepares you to follow through on an adventure. You have a sense of fun that is unique to you and a special person in your life. You might choose to spend plenty of one-on-one time together.
GEMINI
(May 21-June 20) You will listen carefully while someone shares his or her ideas, but later will ask for a compromise. The other party will see no reason for negotiation. Be smart, and do not push to have your set of ideas accepted. Give it time.
CANCER
(June 21-July 22) For some reason, you seem to be able to help others relax and enjoy their day. You forgot about one person, though -- you forgot about you. What are you going to do about that situation? It is time for a change. Make time for yourself. This Week: Try to defer.
LEO
(July 23-Aug. 22) You could be one of the major players of the day, whether you are at a baseball game or simply hanging out with friends. The child within you will emerge, which encourages others to have a great time as well. The stars show the kind of day you’ll have:
VIRGO
(Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Try to relax at home. You seem to have kept your feelings to yourself for some time, but despite your best efforts, they will emerge from out of the blue and force you to deal with a changeable situation. Try not to make judgments.
LIBRA
(Sept. 23-Oct. 22) A call comes with an invitation. Don’t negate what your inner voice is telling you, but say “yes” if you have any interest in what is happening. Expect to have a caring conversation with a close friend. There could be more going on than is obvious.
SCORPIO
(Oct. 23-Nov. 21) You might be coveting a special item that you’re not sure you can afford. Take a step back and do some comparison shopping. You could be surprised by what comes up. Visit an older relative who will be delighted by your company.
SAGITTARIUS
(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) You feel impulsive. Some of you are likely to pick up the phone and reach out to a loved one at a distance. Others might show up at someone’s door. Feelings are rich between you and another person; the only mistake you can make is not to share them.
CAPRICORN
(Dec. 22-Jan. 19) You have a sense of needing space or solitude. Do make it so. You will be more relaxed than you have been in a while. If you choose to stay by yourself or visit a museum with a wise yet quiet person, make it OK.
AQUARIUS
(Jan. 20-Feb. 18) You are playful and full of energy. Fortunately, you have a lot of friends around you who want to make more of this day, too. Whether they organize a lobster fest or a game of softball will be irrelevant. The real purpose is to hang out.
PISCES
(Feb. 19-March 20) You are full of excitement. You might not be sure which direction you should head in, but give yourself some time. Honor a fast change of pace. Be aware of what others want from you, and give them just that. Everyone will be happier as a result.
Happy birthday
This year you express yourself in a way that others can’t resist. You mix logic with adventure. You will be unusually lucky in your choices. How you handle your day-to-day life could change because of a natural optimism. Listen to others, but know that you can break patterns. You are likely to dream the impossible dream. If you are single, be ready to say “no” a lot until you meet Mr. or Ms. Right. You will know when he or she enters your life. If you are attached, the two of you enjoy your life far more than in the past. Sagittarius can create a lot of tension in your life.
