Horoscopes

For Friday, Aug. 27, 2004. Those with birthdays today: Pace yourself, as you will have a lot of ground to cover with many demands and responsibilities this year. Remember, you are only one person, and there are only 24 hours in a day. Recognize that much that happens will be on a day-to-day level. The different ingredients that make up your life could transform, if you so choose. If you are single, you might enjoy flirting a lot. You are personality plus, drawing many to you. If you are attached, your relationship will develop to a new peak if you are less possessive and more open.
