Happy birthday. A whimsical, unforeseen opportunity brings August adventure. Follow your winning instincts to a new job in September. A family wish is granted in October.
ARIES (March 21-April 19): For any given problem, you can think of multiple solutions that are worth a try. Avoid trying to solve another’s problem.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20): Sociologist Erving Goffman said, “The gestures which we sometimes call empty are perhaps in fact the fullest things of all.” You’ll give and receive such gestures today.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21): Sometimes people need to vent. Let them, but when it’s time to concentrate on you, close up shop.
CANCER (June 22-July 22): After a long day of sitting, it makes no sense to decompress by sitting.
You are best when moving.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Living up to your expectations seems like it would be easy. But yours are the most demanding you could choose. Go easy on yourself.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You know but one thing about someone. But all you have to do is begin an interaction, and before you know it, you will be past the “acquaintance” stage.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): You’ll start a project with good intentions and then falter, which is normal and to be expected. Don’t give up too soon!
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Better is better. Even if it’s only a little bit better, feel good and take the win.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): If illness can be psychosomatic, so can wellness. That is why the entertainment you call a “guilty pleasure” is necessary for health and happiness.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): If you’re struggling, assume there’s a good reason. Avoid being needlessly frustrated. Take a break and come back to the issue later.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Excitement doesn’t always lead to closeness. Some relationships are like the birth of the universe: a Big Bang and then you spread apart.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): You think you’re merely recounting recent happenings, but you also may be enthralling someone intrigued by your lifestyle.
