For Thursday, Aug. 28:

You are unusually dynamic and strong this year. You seem to have a newfound inner strength, which comes out in your actions and words.

If you are single, you could meet someone who is not available, no matter how alluring he or she is. Take your time getting to know this person. If you are attached, the two of you flourish when you take off as a couple.

Leo makes a great healer and reads you cold.
