Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 27, 2010: This year, you will be challenged once more to walk a new path and give up what is no longer workable. Financial changes remain on the horizon, but you will have the wherewithal to handle them. If single, date for a while before even considering that a bond is forever. If attached, passions ignite. Aries pushes your buttons but can be helpful.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • The moon in your sign gives you an edge, even when dealing with a cold, difficult person. You cannot count on someone like you have in the past.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • Much is going on that is making you uncomfortable. You have not isolated some of the elements as of yet. You would prefer to pull back and do less until you are sure of yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • You might want to zero in on basics, knowing your limits. Friends and several meetings could punctuate your day, making accomplishing what you want difficult. Stay focused.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • Though you might want to take a stand or make a decision, others could be challenging. Take another look at an associate. Understanding evolves.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • Detach and get away from what might be a ritualistic approach. You need to break past former barriers. A novel approach will open doors. Take a risk.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • • Be smart and let someone you trust handle a personal matter. This person has proven him- or herself trustworthy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • Others want to run with the ball. You might question what is enough personally with a certain situation. You might need to make an adjustment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • Though you might feel a bit down, rethink a decision with care. Try not to make a point right now; somehow a conversation could backfire. A meeting could feel awkward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • • Stay on target with a project. You are unusually creative. Funnel this energy into work, knowing you want to get out of the door.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • You might feel squeezed – in many ways you are. Don’t push someone too hard, or else it could backfire. If you can, work from home or make it an early workday.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • Open up conversations with those who impact your life. You might be overworking a problem and making more out of it than need be.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Realize the cost of pursuing a certain path. A friend could be the source of disconcerting news. Think twice and see if there is a better route. You don’t need to agree.
