Your Horoscope

For the week of August 24-30, 2008:

Aries (March 21-April 19) It is not in your best interest to abide by the wishes of others, Aries. You have to think of yourself and follow your heart. When opportunity knocks, listen.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) The time has come for you to make your great escape, Taurus. Tie up all loose ends at work and home, and head for the hills. Don’t forget to bring your camera.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) What a relief, Gemini. A health scare turns out to be nothing. Celebrate with all of your closest friends. A financial mistake is uncovered and fixed just in time.

Cancer (June 22-July 22) What a pain, Cancer. Your integrity is questioned and you must stand your ground and stay true to your beliefs. A lonely friend could use some cheering up.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)Ugh. The best gifts come from the heart, Leo, and you must remember that for an upcoming occasion. Think hard and you will find a meaningful gift.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept.22) Look for color to play a huge role in your life. Shades of red and yellow will bring vibrancy to several functions, while blue and white will bring harmony to your home.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Covering up for someone at work is not the answer, Libra. To set them on the road to recovery, you will need to blow the whistle and bring in the big guns.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) For shame, Scorpio. Your talent is going to waste. Don’t keep it under wraps any longer. Put it to good use, even if it’s just for a project at home.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Chitchat starts the week off right, Sagittarius, and sets the stage for a fabulous weekend. A quick trip to a nearby locale brings you something quite unexpected.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Happiness can be fleeting, but not for you, Capricorn. Everything will be rosy and stay that way for some time. Even a small computer glitch will not get you down.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Take control of a situation at home, Aquarius, and push for a turnaround. Apprehension at work causes you to stumble. Don’t let it happen again.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Parting with major cash this week is not a good idea, Pisces, no matter who makes the request. Be firm and say no. Your wallet will thank you.
