Happy birthday for Friday, Aug. 25, 2006:

You have strength, direction and energy. Sometimes, this year, you could be downright willful, causing problems you might prefer not to deal with. A move or a change on the home front is not out of the question. You might decide that you need a new setting or different lifestyle. What is holding you back? The important people in your life will understand. If single, you might be a touch too assertive for many. Of course, we know this type of reaction is unusual in your experience. If attached, a reorganization of your schedule or a move might be on tap. Sagittarius can annoy you; your nerves could be fried from dealing with this sign.

Aries (March 21-April 19) •••• The quality of your work or how you live your life could be under scrutiny. Don’t be defensive; rather, be willing to make positive changes. News could be distorted.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) ••••• Your creativity peaks, as does a tendency to be flirtatious. You might find a loved one or associate put off by your focus. Remember what is key to your life, and you will be on cruise control.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) ••• You have an inkling or a desire to make major changes on the home front. For some, it could be rearranging furniture; for others, a paint job might be on the docket. Some of you will be checking on an investment or new property.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) ••••• You have the right words for the right moment. If work seems heavy or difficult, you might want to focus on another direction or postpone your efforts. Schedule meetings; return calls. Buzz around.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• Be careful where you plunk down your money. You might see funds dissipate quicker than you think. A risk is a no-no, at least for today. A child or loved one could be quite difficult. Know when to distance yourself.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Others prove to be more disruptive than you thought. How do you nicely pull back yet allow your associations to stay intact? If you succeed with this “mission” today, ultimately you will gain.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••• Misunderstanding plagues your decisions and actions. Be wary of what you think is going on, which might be quite different from what is actually going on. Get physical in order to release frustration or work through anger.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) •••• Knowing where you are heading is Step No. 1. Enlisting others in a project is Step No. 2. Put a limit on your spending. Otherwise, you could be upset by your waning funds. Take charge.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) •••• Others push to get you to do something they want. Assume responsibility, but only for what interests you. Your leadership might be very important to many, but ultimately it has to work for you.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) •••• You could sabotage the best of ideas if you aren’t careful. The little voice in your head works overtime. It would be better to detach and eye a situation as an outsider. Then you’ll get your answers. Check out facts.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •••• A partner is strong-willed and determined to have events fall into place. You know what you need and what works for you. It appears that so does a specific partner (or so he thinks). Bypass a meeting, which could be frustrating.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• Others could be combative. You might be asking yourself why you need to tolerate this behavior. The truth is, you don’t need to – although you might decide to. A boss also could be touchy.
