Horoscopes: Monday, Aug. 29, 2022

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your visual sense is enhanced now. You’ll quite literally see what you couldn’t yesterday. You’ll be inspired and motivated by beauty, and you’ll learn quickly by picturing information.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t pursue every lead, but the good ones will compel you to move forward somehow, even if you’re not sure how. If you don’t get the response you were looking for, don’t worry — it’s just a twist in the spellbinding plot.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). When someone brushes against an emotional wound, it hurts. But it also shows you where you still need to heal. All in all, you’re where you need to be and among the perfect people to help you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You have gracefully fulfilled a responsibility to loved ones. You’ve said your piece and given all the help you can. Now, the most loving thing you can do is back off, relax and be awed by the healing process.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You could force things into your mold, but not without great effort and adverse consequences. Try adjusting your expectation and requirements instead. Then you’ll see what’s really going on and plan a smarter response.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Love is the focus. You may spend as much time chasing it as you do running from it. Fortune favors your intuition, so let your next move be a reflexive one. Don’t think too much about it; just let instinct show you where to go.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There was a time you just wanted people to understand you. It’s less important to you now. You make efforts to clearly communicate, but there’s no pain involved if they still don’t get it. Not needing to be understood is liberating.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your stance has changed and will continue to change as new information colors the picture. Better to be open-minded than certain of a falsehood. You still value the same things, though your beliefs can be a work in progress.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). An opportunity is time-sensitive. Seize it now or pass, knowing you’ll not see quite the same situation arise again. Timeliness also applies to problems, which you’ll handle promptly and avoid complication.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Even if you can’t completely control your moods, you can steer them somewhat. You’ll be particularly susceptible to environmental factors today, so if you go where the wholesome, sunshiny vibes are, you should be golden.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You won’t need a lot of time to warm to new people. Friendly and observant, you’ll find common ground, determine how you can help one another and set expectations. You’ll adjust quickly to people’s quirks.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People are tripping over one another to win at a game. Instead, you’ll pull back and make a strategic plan. You’ll fixate on a specific target, gather your resources and make a calculated leap.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 29). To a greater extent than was previously possible, you’ll create your own life. It will feel wonderful to steer the wheel of destiny instead of reacting to it. You’ll get around in style thanks to well-earned upgrades. New people and areas of study will contribute significantly to your happiness and high energy. Aries and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 21, 4, 43 and 16.
