Horoscope: Aug. 28

Aries (March 21-April 19): Novel, wild, adventuresome scenarios hold a strong attraction; you want to experience it firsthand.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You have, on several occasions, gracefully extricated yourself from an uncomfortable situation. You’ll do it again soon.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): You will equalize your family. This takes great powers of empathy, since at least one person will behave in a way difficult to understand.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): You give each person the respect he or she deserves, and the result is that you have perfect manners and heaps of charm.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): There is a silent competition going on. You have an excellent strategy. Some may think you are fraternizing with the enemy. Indeed, and the enemy becomes an ally.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): The ones who do you a favor want nothing in return. Or so they say.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): Sometimes your body doesn’t seem to want to cooperate. You still deserve to look nice. Invest in yourself.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): Everyone gets disillusioned at one time or another. But that doesn’t mean you have to stop believing.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Look into the future — this October — and set an exciting goal. Daily action will get you there.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): Should love be this much work? After all, getting into it was easy: you just fell. But for love to live, you have to find new ways to keep falling.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): It may feel as though you’re not doing much, but in reality, it takes massive amounts of brainpower to sustain your current lifestyle and manner of being.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): To stay successful at this job, you’ll have to maintain your love for the work. Find a person in similar straits to look up to.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 28): This is your year of charismatic influence. Your powers of attraction are especially obvious in January. You’ll make a forever friend in February. Taurus and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 4, 15, 9, 44 and 17.
