Horoscope: August 30

Aries (March 21-April 19). In chasing down the item you'd like to add to your collection, it's almost more fun finding it than owning it.

Taurus (April 20-May 20). Your brain thrives on short learning stints. Whatever endeavor you concentrate on, you'll excel at.

Gemini (May 21-June 21). You'll show your feelings in depth without even trying. Don't be surprised if your interactions inspire some jealousy.

Cancer (June 22-July 22). There's no benefit in resisting. Go on and take the risk you've been afraid to take. You have a good instinct about where to take your life.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22). Your nearest and dearest care about you immensely. A stranger will extend kindness beyond what your closest loved ones offer.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). So much happens inside you while you sleep. Today's new information will process over several nights. By the end of the week, you'll be someone different.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Dramatic people attract dramatic happenings. It's something to steer clear of now.

Scorpio (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). A short attention span can be a good thing—it will keep you from wasting your time today.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You see friendships as a creative endeavor—something you build together. Exercise your social muscle, especially through humor.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You want to stay in touch with the latest and greatest developments. And yet you're not affected by the passage of time or the changes in fashion.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your active life will take so many turns before the sun goes down, you will need soothing, quiet activities to help you relax.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20). Even those who don't believe in destiny want to know what theirs is. You'll run into such a conundrum today.

Today's Birthday (Aug. 30). You like to have "no" people around you because they make you better, stronger and sharper. Every once in a while, you need a "yes" person, too, because your confidence will suffer without such an influence. Now through the end of the year offers you a stellar social mix. You'll enter 2016 on a lucrative plan. Cancer and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 17, 22, 2 and 19.
