Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Saturday, Aug. 25, 2012: This year you could be overwhelmed by how much you do, or have to do. The good news is that, because you handle responsibilities well, you could be in line for a pay raise. If single, you might attract someone who is rarely understood by others, but who you seem to get. If you are attached, you find weekends away together to be good both for the soul and for the bond between the two of you. Sagittarius often might irritate you. A baby born today has a sun in Virgo and a moon in Sagittarius all day.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) • • • • Reach out for someone at a distance, or make plans to visit this person. You might have quite a few people you have not spent time with in a while.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) • • • • A partnership (and maybe not yours) demands attention. Whether you’re helping a couple or actively relating to a partner or loved one, you have your hands happily full.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) • • • • • Make it your pleasure to defer to a loved one. You could afford to be docile and supportive, as you also demand a lot of support and feedback at times.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) • • • Plunge into a project that you feel has been on the back burner for too long. Your ability to listen and honor others’ ideas is high.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) • • • • • You certainly know how to take a day off and enjoy yourself. Your choices vary according to your age and lifestyle.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) • • • Share more often with a roommate or family member. You want the strength and support of that bond to stay intact.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) • • • • • You continue to communicate as you always have, but you discover that others now immediately grasp what you are saying.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) • • • • Do some price comparison before buying a big item. You still might go overboard, but at least you’ll know why you chose what you did.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) • • • • You whiz by others with a smile and lots of energy. Sure enough, certain people will want to know more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) • • • Try to walk in someone else’s shoes in order to understand where this person is coming from. You will be more open-minded as a result.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) • • • • • Go where your friends are and where life at times seems silly yet meaningful. Your group of pals is one of the most important parts of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) • • • Visit with an older friend or relative. This person enjoys your company and values your presence far more than you might realize.
