Horoscope

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Friday, Aug. 30, 2013: This year you will see a big difference in what occurs between you and others. You will make a new friend who will be more receptive to you. If single, meeting someone through this person’s circle of friends could prove to be significant to your life history. If attached, the two of you will realize a long-term dream that you both have wanted. You are in a year when you wish upon a star, and more often than not, it will come true! Cancer is a loyal friend. A baby born today has a sun in Virgo and a moon in Gemini if born before 4:33 a.m. Afterward, the moon will be in Cancer.
