HOROSCOPE

Aries (March 21-April 19): Thinking counts as effort, but nothing comes into being by thought alone. The more air that’s moved, the more real a thing becomes.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): Generosity is among your best qualities. You’ll decide how much is appropriate to give, then double it. It’s not for every day but it makes you feel amazing now.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): Someone dreams of a future that includes you. There’s the you in a relationship, and then there’s a dream-you. How close is the match?

Cancer (June 22-July 22): It’s one of those days when you’ll do what’s good for you even though you don’t feel like it. It’s the sort of discipline that makes future decisions easier for you.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Giving love the same way as usual is nice. But when you give more and differently, it’s like stretching the elastic of your heart to a greater capacity for love and joy.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your playfulness can come out in swipes. Knowing how far to go with mischief is the essence of intimacy.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Your mind tips toward the profound today. You’d do well to clown around with another air sign for a while in the name of balance.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You’re an excellent student of life due to your genuine curiosity. Your longing for deep knowledge will be sated.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22Dec. 21): A new level of adulthood kicks in with the realization that others measure the world and themselves differently than you do.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You know an excellent suggestion when you hear it. You’ll follow up and soon be onto an interesting project.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Cats, dogs, insects, even the trees sense things beyond the human range. You grow by trying to understand another perspective.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): The action will not escalate on its own. The intention of one person makes all of the difference. If you know what you want, then that person should be you.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 21): An endeavor or person makes your pulse quicken — an inspiring influence. And you’ll put more effort into the relationship than you ever thought you would, with fantastic results. Your competitive streak will benefit the whole team. A discovery process sends you adventuring. In March you’ll invest and win. Aquarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers: 6, 35, 1, 7, 28.
