Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2013: This year there is an element of confusion around you. Your intensity marks your thoughts and actions. It is an “all or nothing” year. The unexpected occurs within partnerships of all sorts. You never know what will happen next. You might pull a wild card financially. If single, you could meet someone with whom you feel very insecure or possessive. If attached, your sweetie could start acting as if he or she is a wild card, which might encourage you to get separate checking accounts. Gemini always challenges your thinking. A baby born today has a sun in Virgo and a moon in Gemini.
