Happy birthday for Saturday, Aug. 26, 2017:
This year you open up to many new experiences that could be quite intense. Others might perceive you as someone who is very serious. You simply are more reflective. Deal with a situation involving a sibling or neighbor. If you are single, you will meet several interesting people. In fact, you might want more than friendship with one of them. If you are attached, the two of you experience a depth and intensity like you had not yet experienced. Respect each other’s views. SCORPIO seeks you out for conversation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

You’ll have an opportunity to go to a new restaurant or indulge in an adventure that you have always wanted to partake in. The only answer to this offer is “yes.” Start living your life more fully. Give up thinking about plans, and take action. Tonight: Read between the lines.
