Horoscopes

For Monday, Aug. 26, 2002. Those with birthdays today: This year you reverse many of your opinions. You might also decide to transform your life. The status quo will be subject to change in some significant way. If you are single, you will want a meaningful relationship. You’re likely to meet someone very special within a year. Meanwhile, use caution with your choices this year. Someone you get involved with might misrepresent him- or herself. If you are attached, you will want to indulge your loved one with more time together. You often have a party just being alone together.
