Horoscope: Aug. 27

Aries (March 21-April 19): No need to feel funny about talking yourself up, especially when you’re face to face with potential clients and customers.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You still get giddy when a certain someone is in the room. It’s best to say very little. Being mysterious is better than seeming too eager.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You won’t have to work hard to stay in a good mood. You’ll be liberated from negativity through exercise, inspiration and upbeat people.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Everyone is insecure about something. Knowing this, go easy on yourself.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): The one who “always knows better” is limited to his or her own certainty. The truly wise realize how impossible it is to know everything.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Your practical interpretation of the sacred mysteries of life will provide much food for thought.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Use your energy carefully and you’ll have enough left over to fully enjoy a truly special evening.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You are self-assured, and it will be easy for you to offer insight to others — so easy, in fact, that you’ll be tempted to say too much. Hold back.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): You will once again be working on a project that is out of your comfort zone. When you don’t know whom to turn to, turn to yourself.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Your time is coming. You are fast approaching a cycle of exciting creativity and success. Get ready.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Your fortunes will depend on how well you exercise self-control. You will understand what you need to do to get ahold of your financial picture.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You may start out in a certain direction for personal gain. However, the reason for your action will shift to something more pure.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 27): Through the next seven weeks, you’ll get more involved in an activity you really love. New relationships form in February. A windfall comes in November. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Lucky numbers are 6, 25, 31, 20 and 16.
