For Thursday, Aug. 30:

New opportunities surround the adventurous. If you close down or feel that you cannot do something, you won’t succeed. Root yourself on; be your best cheerleader. Your home life will become even more pleasurable and important. Some of you might be buying a new home or getting a new roommate. If you are single, 2008 greets a new relationship. If you are attached, flickers of the torrid heat of the past emerge once more. ARIES works well with you.
