Wednesday August 21, 2019 21TEABREAK
Happy birthday:
Although you have your eye on a
promotion, fate is pointing you in a
completely diff erent direction. Do not
let fear of the unknown keep you from
taking a chance on a brighter future.
Your lucky numbers: 1, 3, 6, 12, 17.Leo (Jul 23 - Aug 22)
It is natural to want more
from life, but if you are con-
stantly in pursuit of far off
dreams, you will not have
time to appreciate what you already
have. Remember to take time out to
stop and smell the roses from time to
time. ✭✭✭Virgo (Aug 23 - Sep 22)
Your business fortunes are
about to take a dip. Any joint
fi nancial ventures or busi-
ness deals you agree to today
may not turn out the way you want
them to. An unexpected opportunity to
fi nd love and romance is heading your
way. ✭✭✭Libra (Sep 23 - Oct 22)
It’s going to be one of those
days when you’re likely to
end up in the middle of a
very bad situation. It might
be a good idea to keep your head down
for the next few days until things blow
over. ✭✭✭Scorpio (Oct 23 - Nov 21)
You will have to deal with
some fairly diffi cult personal
challenges today. Do not al-
low anyone to draw you into
a futile battle of wills. Pick and choose
your fi ghts carefully and save your
energy for those things you truly care
about. ✭✭✭Sagittarius (Nov 22 - Dec 21)
Closing business deals
will prove far trickier than
usual today. Love is in the
air tonight. This will be
a good time for a date night with your
signifi cant other. ✭✭✭Capricorn (Dec 22 - Jan 19)
You are bound to run into
problems if you do not pay
proper attention to your
fi nances. Take some time
out to gather the family together and
hammer out a workable budget. Love
will be highlighted. ✭✭✭Aquarius (Jan 20 - Feb 18)
It will not be wise to rely
exclusively on your gut
instincts today. Proper
research will be required if
you want to make the right choices. An
unexpected opportunity is heading your
way. ✭✭✭Pisces (Feb 19 - Mar 20)
You will be in for some fun
if you decide to make din-
ner on your own instead of
ordering out. A romantic
relationship is about to reach a brand
new level of intimacy, so be prepared to
open your heart. ✭✭✭✭Aries (Mar 21 - Apr 19)
Someone may be trying to
steal your thunder when it
comes to a particular proj-
ect. You deserve recognition
after all the hard work you have put in.
Don’t hesitate to speak out and let your
bosses understand the contributions
you have made. ✭✭✭Taurus (Apr 20 - May 20)
Using your imagination
will help make a long and
boring day more entertain-
ing for you and those you
work with. Let your creative side take
control and you may discover some
more eff ective ways to handle tasks.
✭✭✭Gemini (May 21 - Jun 20)
Think before you speak. A
friendly disagreement might
turn into a full-on argument
if you do not take care with
the way you phrase things. Money mat-
ters should be a major focus. ✭✭✭Cancer (Jun 21 - Jul 22)
Flexibility will be the key to
success today. Remember
to go with the fl ow instead
of demanding that the tides
follow your schedule. Obstacles will
not be a problem unless you choose to
make them one. ✭✭✭ACROSS
