HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): The elasticity of time can allow you to stretch beyond your limits.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Money-saving tip: If you must first be convinced of the problem, it probably never existed. Save your money for something that’s really worth it.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You could say this is a backward day as far as relationships go. Love comes in the form of saying no to someone you adore.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Cultivate a high self-approval rating that’s independent of the opinion of others.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Follow your instincts about making alliances, because once you set a pattern, it will be very hard to break it.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You have to purposely get out of your element to expand

your realm of influence.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You may not be in a very social mood, and you’ll be tempted to forgo certain events. Go anyway. You’ll sell yourself and gather more supporters.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’ll be rewarded for the effort to project your best and highest self.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): Working too hard at being attractive is the antithesis of attractive. You’ve already given enough effort to the situation. There’s great charisma in your nonchalance.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you bring that warm smile to every interaction, no one will suspect you’re sizing up opportunities.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): A friend will reach out to you. The weird part is that you will be able to feel this before it happens. It’s because you are connected at a

deep level.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Assume the best will happen, because when you adopt the assumption, it absolutely will. People will be nice and say yes. They will accept and admire you.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 27): The complexities of a past relationship are no more -- this year brings a new page and a fresh simplicity to the realm of love. September shows you dancing as you learn that your hard work has paid off. November will bring family bonding, travel and a business opportunity that will up your income in 2016. Scorpio and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 14, 39, 22, 28 and 47.
