Horoscope: Aug. 25

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are smart in many ways, and now it's like there's a war of intelligences going on in your being. When in doubt, go with your emotional intelligence. There's a lot that can be solved with a hug.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You don't want to be remembered for what happened to you. You want to remembered for how you reacted to events, rising above them. Your spirit is more powerful than the circumstances it will manage today.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your work will be pleasant; your leisure, peaceful. It's getting from one to the other that's hectic. It's a bit of a juggle, and juggling is all about the art of transitions.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You'll get a rather persistent and fascinating idea in your head, and it will be difficult to drop it or change your mind. Instead of resisting, dive into the hypothetical and work through it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). As the sign of performers, you get used to hearing thunderous at the conclusion of your work. Today, don't take a lack of audience as a bad sign. They haven't caught on yet.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You don't have to have the skills to embark on a task. Or even a good plan or a vision. What you must have is desire and the courage to jump in. The rest will come.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your confidence will draw people to you. You'll attract admirers. They may not be vocal about it now, but eventually you'll learn that you're well thought of.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There are those who will want you to learn things that you're not sure you want to know. Why? So you can serve their purposes. What are you interested in? That's the only thing worth learning today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You once watched a person make the same mistake multiple times, which led you to believe that some people never learn. That may be true, but now you'll get evidence that, for most people, breakthroughs are possible.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You know that you are not defined by external things, and now you're not so sure that internal things define you, either. Your thoughts and feelings will seem to come through you, but they are not you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Many will benefit from your seemingly small acts of problem solving. What you do today you do for your family, for your team and for everyone who ever had similar goals and faced similar challenges.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). People will long for your brand of entertainment today: colorful, unexpected and beyond what can be gleaned from facts. So feel free to stray into exaggeration and fantasy—they'll love it.

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 24). Don't think; don't flinch. Whatever comes at you, just know it's for your best and highest good, and take it on like the winner you are. Singles: September brings fascinating flirtations. Couples: Love gets deeper and richer. October forwards your social agenda. You're inventive and entrepreneurial in November. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 15,32, 1 and 16.
