Horoscopes

For Saturday, Aug. 31, 2002. Those with birthdays today: You might want to distance yourself from a difficult situation in your life. As a result, you could throw yourself into your work. What might be better is to handle the problem and not back down from this ever-present issue. If you are single, your love life will become very exciting toward your next birthday. If attached, you might want to move or redecorate and expand.
