Horoscopes Wednesday 28th August 2024
Aries 21 March - 20 April
Today's Venus/Neptune opposition can put a spiritual slant on a worldly issue, giving you a different perspective. If you are battling a practical issue, then just let it go and forget about it for a while, as you'll find that answers may emerge from your deeper wisdom. Mercury also turns direct, so go easy as it can still play a few tricks until early next month as it emerges from shadow.
Taurus 21 April - 21 May
You may feel a twinge of envy for someone who seems to have everything, as well as the charisma to turn heads. While this is a temporary aspect, it can hint at dissatisfaction with the way you see yourself. Don't indulge such feelings. You have your own special charm. This is the perfect time to showcase your amazing talents and your naturally bewitching personality.
Gemini 22 May - 21 June
A mood of modesty and humility may sweep over you, inspiring you to give someone a share of the praise you deserve for the completion of a project or a recent success. Your horoscope suggests this may be down to relating planet Venus sheltering in an emotional zone and encouraging you to give support from behind the scenes. Yet a fresh spark is igniting, as Mercury turns direct in Leo. The spotlight awaits.
Cancer 22 June - 23 July
You may be ready to drop any barriers and let others know more directly how you feel. While it could be a great relief to you to unburden yourself, others might not be in the mood to listen. If you want to be nice to your friends, then think about how you'd feel if you were in their situation. They may support you but might not be prepared for an overly emotional reaction that impacts their day.
Leo 24 July - 23 August
As Venus opposes ethereal Neptune, don't be surprised if someone who seems only too eager to flatter you, is also a tad jealous. You may sense they're not truly sincere and their efforts to get your attention will likely leave you cold. Contrast this with another influence today which can prime your attraction to someone who dares to be different, but whose authenticity is very appealing.
Virgo 24 August - 23 September
A calm-looking sea can be beset with crosscurrents and unseen challenges. Think of this analogy today should you get a hazy business offer or someone overly flatters you, and where you sense is not all that it seems. Although Mercury, your ruler, goes direct after its Retrograde, you will need to use all your aptitude for analysis to understand exactly what's unfolding.
Libra 24 September - 23 October
Trying to get people to stick to their pledges could be difficult, as a nebulous blend of energies might see them losing focus. And the same could happen to you when it comes to completing your to-do list. If you want to accomplish something, then start with your top priorities and go from there. You do have staying power, but there could be some distractions to contend with.
Scorpio 24 October - 22 November
You may feel so at home with someone that you're ready to share some precious secrets and personal wounds without a moment's thought. However, if so, this can be a red flag, in itself. Consider if you're being lulled into a false sense of security. Don't give anyone the key to your heart until you've asked more searching questions and found out a lot more about their real motives, Scorpio.
Sagittarius 23 November - 21 December
With the lovely and charming Venus shimmering in a high-flying sector of your chart, you may be keen to promote yourself. Even so, avoid making bold statements, as this sultry planet is opposed by the ethereal Neptune, and you may be misunderstood. By tomorrow, you'll be able to deliver your message with more punch and conviction, so if you can, hold off from any big push until then.
Capricorn 22 December - 20 January
Is something bothering you? And is your desire to keep your feelings under control preventing you from speaking out? You may be so caught up with this matter that you're unable to find a solution. If you don't want to keep thinking the same thoughts, then speak to a trusted friend. Their take on this is likely to be very different, and if you can't see a way forward, they may do.
Aquarius 21 January - 19 February
All kinds of gadgets and baubles can capture your attention, and you may be drawn to something that seems to call out to you, encouraging you to make it your own. A mesmerising blend of energies may encourage you to splurge, no matter how much you have in the bank. But you'll likely soon regret it. Stop and think before you part with your money, time or other key resources.
Pisces 20 February - 20 March
If friends seem less fun than usual and more focused on their social duties, then leave them to it. You may get a lot more enjoyment from reaching out to someone you don't know very well and making their acquaintance. Opposites can attract, and you could find that as your relationship with them deepens, you'll appreciate their realistic approach to life and relish their company.
