Horoscopes

For Sunday, Aug. 23:

This year, you will become more fiscally conscious, provided you control a need to take risks. You will have a strong, grounded sense of what works — follow it. Some of you might hold two jobs or keep a very hectic pace. Curb a sweet tooth. If you are single, a relationship could open up your life. What you think you want might not be what you want later — be careful with commitments. If you are attached, the two of you connect on a deep level. Re-create a first date or another romantic event in your history. Libra can cost you a lot of money! Learn to say “no.”

Aries (March 21-April 19)

•••• Others express an unusual intensity. Whether with an older friend or relative or just tackling work, you become convinced that a change in your style is a must. Accept an invitation that puts you with favorite people. Tonight: Just say “yes.”

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
