Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Aug. 29, 2009: This year, you break from precedence and change the dynamics in a key relationship. You might become frustrated, feeling pushed at times. If single, you will meet many people. If attached, the two of you will have much to work out. Respect each other’s differences rather than fight about them. Capricorn stubbornly holds his or her ground.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) •••• Bring friends together. You might be tossed into uncertainty several times. Revamp your thinking if it’s not working. Stay on top of situations.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) ••••• Reach out for someone at a distance. You don’t need to agree, but you can step back from a power play. Sharp words will be remembered, and an apology might not undo the damage.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) ••• Dealing with a partner encourages a different perspective. Understanding someone’s needs and agreeing with them are two different issues. Define your boundaries.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) ••••• The give-and-take of a situation is important. Don’t give in to the moment and anger. You cannot win with a controlling individual. Stay true to yourself.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) ••• Whatever you eye, whatever needs to happen, might be more difficult than you realize. You might be surprised at how your anger flares up out of the blue.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) •••• Letting go might be difficult, as you recently learned such self-restraint. Clearly, many people could surprise you with their passionate display.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) ••• If you feel pressured no matter which way you turn, you might be right about the forces around you. Look for the way out of this maze, which will occur once you detach and no longer trigger.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) ••••• Your anger comes to the surface very easily. Note and use your ability to move a stalemated conversation forward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) ••• Check out the pros and cons of an investment. If it doesn’t feel solid, say “no.” What makes you feel you must spend or do something with your money?

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) ••••• Your ability to mobilize others emerges. Your finances could become more solid if you listen to your intuition a little more. In the interim, worry less.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) •• If you feel overwhelmed by what you perceive and feel, perhaps the time has come for a timeout. Take a look at a situation with open eyes another day.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) •••• A friend is manipulative and could impact how you feel around certain people. A loved one appears to be on the warpath. Can you juggle these different voices?
