Your daily horoscope: August 28, 2024

HOROSCOPES IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY

Matters of the head and matters of the heart are likely to clash over the coming year and you must be honest with yourself about who and what motivates you the most. Be honest with friends and loved ones too so they know where they stand.

ARIES (March 21 – April 20):

The final piece in a puzzle of some kind will fall into place today and once you see the bigger picture you will realize that recent challenges were actually blessings in disguise. Your life is about to start moving in a more exciting direction. Don’t fight it!

TAURUS (April 21 – May 21):

Something that looked so difficult yesterday won’t look so difficult today and by tomorrow it could turn out to be the easiest thing you have ever done. Which just goes to show how important it is to adopt and keep a positive mental attitude.

GEMINI (May 22 – June 21):

Something you have kept secret for weeks, maybe even months, will become public knowledge over the next few days and as there is no way you can deny it you might as well go to the other extreme and embrace it as your own.

CANCER (June 22 – July 23):

You must trust your instincts today, even if they have let you down a few times in recent weeks. As Mercury comes to the end of its retrograde phase the information you get from your inner self will no longer be tainted by wishful thinking.

LEO (July 24 – Aug. 23):

Everything will feel right with your world today, so start planning social and travel activities and don’t listen to those who say you need to tone down your expectations. On the contrary, as so much more is possible now you must raise your sights.

VIRGO (Aug. 24 – Sept. 23):

The fact that you cannot explain how you came to a certain conclusion does not mean that conclusion is wrong. In fact, as your ruling planet Mercury is about to move in your favour again your mind can be trusted to give you the correct information.

Missed one of your horoscopes? Here are the most recent days’ forecasts:

At some point today you will realize that you may have been too harsh when dealing with people who don’t share your ambitious nature. Instead of apologizing, do something of a practical nature that makes it clear you appreciate the efforts they’ve made.

LIBRA (Sept. 24 – Oct. 23):

You can and you must be more optimistic about the work you do in the world. There have been times of late when you started to wonder if the efforts you make are actually worth it, but what occurs today will convince you they are.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24 – Nov. 22):

As mind planet Mercury ends its retrograde phase today it will feel as if the restrictions and limitations you have been laboring under in recent weeks have finally been lifted. That is not, however, an excuse to go mad – well, not too mad anyway.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23 – Dec. 21):

Although there were times in recent weeks when you felt as if you were behind in the game the fact is you are still up there with the front runners – and about to get your second wind. Step up the pace between now and the end of the week.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22 – Jan. 20):

Try not to set your standards so high that you have to constantly struggle to reach them. Life is not an Olympic sport and you don’t have to function at 100 per cent every minute of every day. Be kind to yourself, and to other people too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 21 – Feb. 19):

If your aims and ambitions have drifted a bit off course in recent weeks it’s no big deal as no major damage appears to have been done. As from today though you need to start making adjustments that will get you moving in the right direction again.
