Daily Horoscopes for Tuesday, August 28

We attempt to keep the lid on reality today with the Moon in conservative Capricorn, but things get strange when she shifts into eccentric Aquarius at 1:38 pm EDT. Meanwhile, shocking Uranus is activated by Mercury, Venus and Mars, triggering new ideas, as if lightning is striking within our brains. Still, it’s difficult to stay emotionally detached, even if we try to maintain objectivity. More is happening than meets the watchful eye.

 

Aries Horoscope
Aries Horoscope (Mar 21 – Apr 19)

Your life seems to grow crazier today, as if everything hasn’t been weird enough already. You have a lot to do now, but others may not realize exactly how much you have on your plate. The good news is that you can compress time and accomplish a lot, especially when the pressure builds. Try to set a manageable pace for yourself, even if it’s difficult to stick with your original plan.

Taurus Horoscope
Taurus Horoscope (Apr 20 – May 20)

You are in a stressful frame of mind today and things that are usually fun and easy may become the source of anxiety. You might do better if you are willing to let go of your preconceived agenda and roll with the incoming waves of emotional intensity. An unexpected event could be a signal that something is off-kilter. If anything goes wrong now try to understand the deeper message. Staying open to change allows you to make the most of the present moment.

Gemini Horoscope
Gemini Horoscope (May 21 – Jun 20)

Circumstances grow more intense as you are pulled in multiple directions. You want to keep your attention on a specific task today, but chances are that you might be easily distracted. However, you may not be able to resist the temptation. Just remember to put yourself back on track as soon as you realize what has happened. Making the necessary adjustments throughout the day enables you to rise above the noise and reach your goals.

Cancer Horoscope
Cancer Horoscope (June 21 – Jul 22)

You have an innate sense of knowing when the emotional tides are changing. You can feel it in your stomach; you just know something’s going on. Although your tendency now may be to say too much rather than too little, there are things that must be brought out into the light of day. Speak as kindly and respectfully as possible. Playing the guilt card won’t improve the situation.

Leo Horoscope
Leo Horoscope (Jul 23 – Aug 22)

You are experiencing a metaphorical changing of the guard; one phase is over yet the next one hasn’t yet begun. In this time of being in between worlds, you have an opportunity to react to the circumstances as they unfold, without being anchored down by your own emotional baggage. Take the developments in your life slowly, for they are important ones and you really need to respond in a thoughtful manner.

Virgo Horoscope
Virgo Horoscope (Aug 23 – Sep 22)

Things seem to be getting better today, but the final outcome depends totally upon you. It’s good news if you’re willing to let go of people or things that no longer serve a meaningful purpose. It’s also time to say goodbye to those aspects of your personality that impede your progress. Bring whatever makes you feel tense to the surface so you can deal with it out in the open once and for all.

Libra Horoscope
Libra Horoscope (Sep 23 – Oct 22)

If someone seems erratic to you today, remember that you’re the one being zapped by unpredictable Uranus. Anything that happens out of the blue now is pointing the way to hidden stress that needs to be released. Even if things seem crazy, it’s time to take a serious look at your personal and professional relationships. Don’t stand in the way of change. Be bold and stir up anything that feels stuck so that you can break free from old patterns.

Scorpio Horoscope
Scorpio Horoscope (Oct 23 – Nov 21)

Your nervous system is buzzing today. You may feel as if you’re trying to choose between wanting to participate in a group project and needing your personal freedom. However, it’s exciting to be involved with something larger than your individual interests. Allow yourself to experience the energy of sudden change rather than attempting to avoid it. You will feel revitalized when the edginess settles down tomorrow.

Sagittarius Horoscope
Sagittarius Horoscope (Nov 22 – Dec 21)

Unexpected romantic conflict might surface today and have impact on other areas of your life. If there are relationship tensions brewing now, this is a time when they may suddenly blast into your awareness. But you aren’t eager to show your vulnerability. Although this emotional exposure could be unpleasant at first, it’s catalytic and certainly can lead to positive change. Clearing the air opens the doors for amazing opportunities to follow.

Capricorn Horoscope
Capricorn Horoscope (Dec 22 – Jan 19)

You are attracted to a wide variety of new ideas during this topsy-turvy time. Something that you might have judged negatively during another period in your life now makes total sense. You are becoming more aware of innovative concepts that are normally outside of your comfort zone. If you allow yourself to entertain intellectual possibilities today, exciting experiences could follow. Let yourself experience the buzz, even if you choose not to act on it.

Aquarius Horoscope
Aquarius Horoscope (Jan 20 – Feb 18)

You feed off of the energy of a group, but you don’t actually feel as if you’re part of it. Sometimes, when others are stressed you are just excited about the potential. You need to stay open to big changes now because things will only grow more unstable if you try to hold on to the safety of old habits and structures. Let go of those things that are holding you back to make the upcoming transition as smooth as possible.

Pisces Horoscope
Pisces Horoscope (Feb 19 – Mar 20)

It’s time to expect the unexpected, even if you are comfortably settled into a relationship. Of course, knowing how to second-guess what’s around the corner remains a mystery. Your need for freedom of expression is strong now, so anything can happen. If you have tied your future to a narrow band of expectations, then you could be in for an abrupt surprise. But if you remain open to new possibilities, today’s awakening can carry you along toward your destination in life.

Cosmic Calendar for August 28

Right off the bat you are confronted with some celestial shenanigans as Mercury makes an abrasive, 135-degree tie with shock-master Uranus (12:09AM PDT). When these two planets work in harmony, intellect and intuition form a natural partnership. However, right now, a battle of nerves can ensue with no clear winner. Helping you find some comfort and nurturance is a 60-degree rapport from Mercury to Ceres (12:56AM PDT).  Tensions resume their superior position a few hours later when the Moon in Capricorn squares Saturn in Libra (3:34AM PDT) — a 90-degree aspect that starts a void lunar cycle that lasts until 10:40AM PDT. Trying to please everyone during the 7-hour void lunar limbo time-span won’t work or be rewarding. It is best to tune out the frenetic pace of modern living and seek the quiet refuge of a retreat, studio or library.  Once the Moon enters airy, universal and iconoclastic Aquarius (10:40AM PDT), many opportunities to make forward progress should present themselves. It is once more sensible to join forces with like-minded souls in creating groups or organizations that strive to uplift humanity around the globe.
