You were born today and you know how to turn bad into good, negative into positive, doubt into certainty, and loss into resounding victory – for yourself and often for others. So what’s your secret? What do you have that others often don’t, that allows you to make the best of things even when they’re very bad? You are perhaps the most positive, optimistic, and visionary person born in your sign – or any sign for that matter.
You will probably rise from the ashes more than once in your life and, like a phoenix, you always manage to rise even higher after you crash and burn. Again, it is your spirit and attitude that lets you do the impossible – but it is also your willingness and ability to put yourself in the hands of another when necessary to ensure your recovery.
Also born on this day: Shania Twain, singer; LeAnn Rimes, singer; Armie Hammer, actor; Jason Priestley, actor; Daniel Stern, actor; David Soul, actor; Luis Guzman, actor; Charles Boyer, actor.
To see what’s in store for you tomorrow, find your birthday and read the corresponding paragraph. Let your birthday star guide you every day.
THURSDAY, AUGUST 29
ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You may feel much more domestic than expected today and feel the need to do things around the house that you normally leave to others.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Now is not the time to jump to conclusions – but will you know it if you do? You have to be willing to trust someone else to tell you.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You’ve been guessing so much lately that you’re used to it, but today you’re likely to learn something with unusual certainty. Trust it!
CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Be careful today not to apply your knowledge in the wrong way or to the wrong project. You have to believe in it to be able to contribute.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Experts are unlikely to impress you today, although one or two may have something to tell you that you can build on.
VIRGO (August 23-September 22) – You must not worry about all the details today, only those that have to do with what you are doing. If you can’t control it, don’t worry!
LIBRA (September 23-October 22) – You’re likely to find yourself attracted to people whose views differ from yours today. Is this a reflection of genuine interest?
SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Even if you ask someone for answers today, you’ll most likely get only questions – and you know exactly why!
SAGITTARIUS (November 22-December 21) – You have just enough time today to do what you need to do, plus one or two more things you want to do – but don’t overdo it!
CAPRICORN (December 22-January 19) – Another person’s behavior may send you into a state very close to panic for a time, but you should be able to regain control quickly and easily.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) – You may finally get in touch with someone you’ve been trying to reach but to no avail. The messages you send each other are important!
PISCES (February 19-March 20) – While others may tell you in no uncertain terms that you need to change your attitude, you can prove that in reality it is just the opposite.
