Horoscope: Aug. 29

Aries (March 21-April 19): You do not always behave in a manner that is wise, but you always have the wisdom inside you. Listen to it today.

Taurus (April 20-May 20): You find yourself following a certain pattern, and you wonder whether it is integral to your personality. It is not. New patterns can be established.

Gemini (May 21-June 21): There’s a time for dreaming and a time for doing. Happiness this afternoon is getting your hands dirty with what is happening.

Cancer (June 22-July 22): Your mood will improve once you unload some personal baggage. Journaling allows you to express yourself in a safe environment.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): You’ll be on a discipline kick, making every minute count toward accomplishing a goal. Ride it for as long as it lasts.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Certain beliefs of yours come into question. You have been imprinted by your elders with opinions that do not exactly match up with who you are.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23): There are benefits to getting more structure in your life. A new job could provide it — even a part-time or volunteer position.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21): You were waiting for the call to adventure, and it will finally come. One who is on a mission will inspire you.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Once you dive into an endeavor, you will realize all that you do not know about it. Keep asking.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): You cannot expect yourself to be brilliant all the time, although that is precisely what someone seems to expect from you lately.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): The theme today is separating fact from fiction. You will be increasingly aware of the propaganda that is all around.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): You can’t control everything, but lately you get the sneaking suspicion that you can control more of your scene than you knew.

Today’s birthday (Aug. 29): You will develop your leadership abilities and favorably affect your community. You will size up the accomplishments of those around you and figure out how everyone can work together toward an exciting common goal. A surprise bonus comes in November. Follow your intuition to friendship and romance in January. Scorpio and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are 14, 50, 27, 44 and 38.
