Horoscope: August 29, 2017

Your Stars Today

Aries | March 20 – April 18



There’s little as exciting as your ruler Mars being positioned in the portion of your chart that accents those you care about most and those activities that lift your spirits. While you’re undoubtedly enjoying the resulting wonderful experiences, don’t ignore certain problems. They need attention. The longer you wait, the more complicated they’ll become.

Taurus | April 19 – May 19



If you’re in an easygoing mood, you’ve an amazing capacity to find the humour in even very frustrating situations. But the range and, often, sudden nature of recent surprising developments has meant you’ve taken these very seriously. Lighten up. Most of them aren’t nearly as pressing as they seem.

Gemini | May 20 – June 20



Few things are more cheering than the discovery something you thought had gone wrong hasn’t. Not only is that likely to be the case now, the odds are good you’ll realise you’d either missed important facts or had drawn your own, incorrect, conclusions. Whatever the case, the tide’s about to turn in your direction.

Cancer | June 21 – July 21



Being ruled by the Moon, you’ve a natural sense of timing. Despite the fact you rarely think about it, the intuition linked to the lunar cycle makes it easier for you to recognise when to bide your time and when, as will soon be the case, it’s time to make your move.

Leo | July 22 – August 21



Obviously, undertaking complex changes is easier if those around you agree about what’s best. While you might have discussed and, perhaps, organised plans some time ago, recent events were dramatic and raised questions. Consequently, you won’t just need to review those plans, the odds are good you’ll be conducting a top to bottom rethink.

Virgo | August 22 – September 21



For you, as a painstaking Virgo, there’s little that’s more aggravating than the discovery you got things wrong. Yet, as you’ll have noticed, this is an unsettling period for everybody. To such a degree, in fact, that others are struggling with errors as well. Bizarrely, many could answer persistent questions.

Libra | September 22 – October 22



Not only is Mercury retrograde, because this cycle influences others as much as it does you, even relatively simple arrangements should be regarded as tentative. While this is something you, as a Libra, find unsettling, the more flexible what you organise is, the easier it will be to make the necessary changes.

Scorpio | October 23 – November 21



In recent discussions, you feared you said too much. Being a Scorpio, you’ve a powerful instinctive sense of what to keep to yourself or share with others. But you became so absorbed you revealed far more than you intended. Bizarrely, this has led to conversations as frank as they are timely.

Sagittarius | November 22 – December 20



As a Sagittarius and a fire sign, you learn best by plunging into a situation and tackling both options and challenges as they arise. Yet with the Sun and the retrograde Mercury accenting these, the odds are good you’ll encounter more than the usual number of twists and turns. Persist. You’ll get there.

Capricorn | December 21 – January 18



Tempting as it is to be cautious about making commitments, especially with so much in disarray, certain arrangements really need to be organised now. While changes are likely, they’ll probably only be minor and could, very possibly, constitute an improvement. But you must take that first step. Turn your ideas into a proper plan.

Aquarius | January 19 – February 17



While certain signs just can’t resist correcting others when they get things wrong, that seems pointless. Rather, unless the situation is crucial or, alternatively, involves your relationship with the individual in question, you’ll say nothing. Except, hopefully, for now, when certain errors really must be noted then discussed, and in detail.

Pisces | February 18 – March 19



Generally, you’ve a talent for keeping things in proportion. It’s rare anybody so irritates you that you simply must have the last word. But now, not only is that the case, you’re somewhat obsessed with telling them what you think. Do so, bearing in mind they’ve no interest in anybody but themselves.
