For Tuesday, Aug. 26:

You have style and energy working for you this year. You will get what you want or will achieve a long-desired goal. It won’t happen out of the blue, but it will be the result of your hard work. If single, you do not need to stay that way. If attached, you will bond far more tightly if the two of you focus on a common goal, be it your lives, home or children. Cancer makes a great life cheerleader.

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)

¢¢¢ Unless you are dealing with real estate and investments, you might have a difficult time remaining focused. Tonight: Close to home.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

¢¢¢¢ You might lose your temper out of the blue and break off what could have evolved into an important communication. Tonight: Hang out with pals.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

¢¢¢¢ Curb a need to spend or possibly go overboard. Work through some frustration; ultimately, the end result could have you shaking your head. Tonight: Your treat.

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

¢¢¢¢¢ You are all smiles and wonder about what is going on. Living life to the max will happen naturally. Tonight: The world is your oyster.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

¢¢¢ Take time to think, which might look like you’re backing off from a project or commitment. Thought and reflection could prevent a problem. Tonight: Play it low-key.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Emphasize your goals, but not at the risk of putting yourself in an untenable financial position. A friend might root you on. Tonight: Zero in on what you want.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

¢¢¢¢ Pressure builds as you feel the need to make a must appearance. More often than not, others look to you. Tonight: Could be late; burn the candle at both ends.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

¢¢¢¢¢ Make phone calls to those at a distance. Seek out experts if need be. You are more in control than you might realize. Tonight: How about a game of Scrabble or chess.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Work with a partner closely. You might not agree with some of this person’s goals, but that does not mean you cannot become kindred spirits over a key goal or desire. Tonight: Go with a suggestion.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

¢¢¢¢¢ Others demand center stage. Be smart; let them have what they want. This allows you to be much freer. Tonight: Sort through invitations.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

¢¢¢¢ Accomplishment could be undermined by a need to look at a situation in a different light. Try to accomplish what you can with ease. Tonight: Exercise.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

¢¢¢¢¢ Your imagination knows no limits. Be imaginative yet direct with others. A partner or associate could react negatively. You do not need to take this person’s view personally. Tonight: Let the good times happen.
