Horoscopes

For Monday, Aug. 29, 2005:

Those with birthdays today: You will want to go back to school, travel or get into a spiritual study that will help open your mind. In fact, the key to a happy year will be breaking past conventional thinking. Communication will flourish, and, as a result, you’ll feel well-loved. You also might consider buying a new car or computer. Be careful with money; even you will spend more than anticipated. Success will occur by broadening your horizons and networking. If you are single, a friendship plays a major role in a love affair. If you are attached, happy days are here. Just don’t argue about silly matters. Most arguments are about control. If you are with the one you love, do you care who is in charge? CANCER is a true pal.

The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Your basic values and goodness come through no matter what you are doing. Your insight into situations around you could change radically. Your energy is remarkable. Tonight: Don’t put off a home project.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Others seek you out. Is it possible that you’re on information or popularity overload? If ever this situation could develop, it is today. Unusual requests head your way. Find unusual solutions. Tonight: Find a buddy.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Your instincts are right-on concerning money. Be sure you can afford the risk. Nothing is written in stone. A situation with a higher-up, boss or parent could surprise you. Tonight: Gather your bills.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Others support you no matter what choice you make. A male friend could be nothing less than pushy. Be as pushy as you need to be about what you want. Don’t settle. Tonight: As you like.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Much that you do and think of might be best left unshared. You have a sixth sense with public commitments, bosses and others. Say little; observe a lot. Tonight: Take the night off.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

What you believe is the right move, especially after talking to an adviser, most certainly is. Remember that success is getting what you want, but happiness is wanting what you get. Tonight: With your pals.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You might be pushed to perform at a high level. Someone you confide in gives you a helping shove. You might not always be as strong-willed as you are right now, so use this strength well. Tonight: Burn the candle at both ends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Today you are one of the few signs capable of taking an overview. Detach. An associate could be touchy. Imagine what it’s like to be this person. Tonight: Let your mind drift into the clouds.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Others seem to want things their way. Unfortunately, you cannot change the course of events today. Put your best foot forward. Listening doesn’t mean you have to agree. Tonight: Quality time with a special person.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Others lay their cards on the table. You might not agree, and that’s OK. The challenge for you will be to come up with a creative solution. A child or new friend could be difficult. Tonight: Go along with plans.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Dig into work, and you will find a personal problem less distressing. When you need to deal with this issue later, you will be far more relaxed and easygoing. Tonight: A stress-buster. You need it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

* Your imagination is like a fountain right now. Use it to the fullest. You find that talking through a disagreement is important. Remember that it’s OK to have different ideas. Tonight: Act like it’s Friday night.
