Born today, you consider life to be one grand adventure, and you are not in any way frivolous in your pursuits. On the contrary, you are driven to do things that are memorable and important and that are true to your beliefs, ideals and principles. You are attracted to endeavors that require you to step confidently out of your comfort zone, that demand of you a certain daring that at times precludes the possibility of sensible caution. You recognize and understand the dangers that you are sure to encounter, yet you never feel that danger itself is anything to fear. You refuse to be held back by any sort of apprehension.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 23
ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- It's up to you to say something to another that he or she almost certainly does not want to hear. Only you know how to say it right!
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- You're not after the same things as a friend or loved one, but that doesn't mean that you must allow tension to increase or a rift to form.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- You're headed in a new direction, yet you may still be unsure just where you are going to end up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You know what is most important to you, and you are not getting it from a loved one who seems to misunderstand you.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- You'll want to be sure that you've covered all your bases. Leaving something unattended can be dangerous at this time.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) -- You can enjoy the ride that a good friend takes you on, literally or figuratively. Much is revealed to you about yourself.
