Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Thursday, Aug. 29, 2013: This year you experience a bit of stress as a result of having to distinguish your public image from your natural self. You might not feel as free as you might like in public, and therefore you often are withdrawn in conversations. If single, you could encounter someone who likes just one side of your personality. If attached, the two of you sometimes encounter rigidity between you. Recognize that neither person wants to hurt the other. Count on Gemini to overwhelm you with ideas. A baby born today has a sun in Virgo and a moon in Gemini all day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Keep in mind that trying to establish an agreement could be futile in this present atmosphere. Work with the existing situation.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • You are all smiles because you see an open period entering your life when you will have more time for yourself.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • • • Reach out to someone you care about. Listen to news more openly than you have in the past. You might feel hurt by someone’s comment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • You know what you want. You could be rather overwhelmed by a situation that is exhausting. Your ability to make a difference allows you to make the right choices.
