FRIDAY, AUGUST 31

Published 12:00 am Friday, August 31, 2012

The year ahead could be a very significant one where your career and earnings are concerned. There is a promising situation that could bring in more money than you’ve ever seen if you’re smart enough to recognize it.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — None of the parties involved are apt to be satisfied with a sensible agreement that’s being worked out. If this continues, its prospects for survival are dubious.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Although at times you can be pretty good at juggling several critical assignments simultaneously, this is not likely to be one of those days. It may be best to do less, and do it well.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A small misunderstanding might easily arise between you and a good friend. It could even become magnified beyond its significance if allowed to turn into a clash of wills. Back off.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — If your timing and tactics are not in sync, it’ll be extremely difficult to fulfill any ambitious objectives. Do what’s smart and effective, not what’s convenient.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Strive to be diplomatic regarding any issue that you need to discuss with a temperamental friend. If your opinions are not in harmony, it could quickly turn into a heated argument.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — If there are still some old accounts that haven’t been cleared from your books as yet, it’s best not to assume any new financial obligations. Try not to overburden your budget.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Any important friendship must be handled with more than the usual amount of consideration and tact. Any thoughtless behavior or misunderstanding could put the relationship in jeopardy.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) — It’s extremely important that you don’t allow your responsibilities to pile up on you. If you do, you’re going to have a devil of a time trying to catch up.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — You can sometimes be a rather gregarious person, who feels comfortable even in a crowd. However, those times are limited, so if solitude appeals to you, do your own thing.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — In all probability, you’re going to find yourself the center of attention, but others won’t be looking for things to admire about you. It behooves you to be on your best behavior, to foil the ones hoping you’ll slip up.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be careful about imposing your opinions on an unresponsive listener. In all probability, this person will be slow to anger, but your intrusion could stir him or her up.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — There is a strong possibility that both you and your mate might each feel it’s the other one who is spending too much money and wrecking the budget. In reality, it’s both.
