Horoscopes

For Saturday, Aug. 26

Those with birthdays today: You have drive and strength. This year you are likely to make a serious investment, which might be long-term and could take even longer than you think to come to fruition. Be sure you can handle this restriction. You often hold your feelings back, creating the illusions of being stern or withdrawn. Be open to key people. If you are single, you will meet someone with whom you have a very strong bond. This relationship might not be easy, and it also might be hard to terminate. If you are attached, share more of your secret self with your partner. Privacy and time alone allow this bond to flourish. LIBRA has great ideas for your money!

Your imagination combined with your wit make you close to irresistible. Just the same, you might have to have a serious discussion about money or recent events. Tonight: Fun comes easily.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

You might be overly serious about an emotional matter. You might think you are right, but you are coming from a pessimistic perspective and not a realistic one. Allow more feedback. Tonight: Hang out.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Expenses easily could be a problem. Take your time, as you might be reacting to an emotional issue and allowing frivolous spending to happen. Don’t make major decisions right now. Tonight: Your treat.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

Someone makes it clear that he or she wants your company. Why not? You do need some downtime to relax. You could be more tired than you are aware. Let others do the work for a change. Tonight: Add more snap, crackle and pop to a relationship.
