Horoscopes: Monday, August 29, 2016

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You'll be called to try your hand at playing the next level. If you're overlooked or challenged in the beginning, this is just a sign that you're going for the right size goal. If it's too easy, it's not as sweet.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Seeming disasters can open up the door for something wonderful. Remember a time in your life when this was the case. The next adventure will begin with an undesirable circumstance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). What if everyone around you is part of a plot to delight, help and enhance your life? That is actually more plausible than whatever negative you could assume.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There are many ways to connect with that which is deep, interesting and complex. If there is but one way to gain acceptance, you're dealing with a superficial entity that cannot fulfil anything beyond a superficial need.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You need to work, play and build with those who communicate effectively and appropriately, because life is going at such a pace for you these days that there isn't room for miscommunication.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Intellectual stimulation is important to your well-being. Not only will new ideas and knowledge excite you; the discussion and application of such will ignite a fiery passion. You'll feel keenly alive!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The mirror lies. The selfie lies. Even your own thought processes can lie. Trusted counsel is absolutely essential to helping you understand what's real about your self-concept. Ask for feedback.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). People are generally not direct in everyday interactions. Most people can't tell when others are faking. You can. Poke into this. Encourage honesty from others so you can fulfill their real needs.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You will perceive nearly everyone you meet as good-natured and smart in some particular way. You'll be right. This is at least partly due to the fact that you bring the best out in others.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Remember that situation that got completely, ridiculously out of hand? It still makes you laugh to think about it. The current scene is threatening to go in a similar direction. Is this funny or sad?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You'll be sizing up new people. Once filtered through your self-concept and your worldview, the result is a nuanced, quirky perception that should be taken with a grain of salt, even by you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Sociability is high on the list of qualities you seek in a partner or teammate. Not only do you want help entertaining and serving your people; you want a partner who has his or her own people and will gladly share access.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 29). This year shows high stakes and a competitive arena. Some would call it "high pressure," but because you've learned to regulate your emotions, you'll approach with ease. Next month you'll be generous and make a difference. Loved ones spoil you in December. You'll reach meaningful personal milestones in 2017. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 9, 20, 1 and 15.
