Weekly horoscope for August 28 - your star sign reading and zodiac forecast

Aries

You aren’t sure you’ve made a right choice or decision. All you can do is go with it and see what happens. Pull yourself together and stop your thoughts from reaching too far into the future. Remember that what you’re worrying about may never happen and try to take every moment as it comes. You will get a sense of what it means to someone when you offer to do them a favour. You may not have realised how alone they had been feeling.

Taurus

It will be during your most quiet moments that you get your best inspirations. You always know you can rely on your own judgement but you are starting, too, to recognise your intuitive responses. Your intuition will not let you down. You’re ready to make some big changes and this could mean you and a partner going your separate ways. It will feel strange to make such a drastic decision but it is time for you to be more independent.

Gemini

You feel someone at home is being contrary. They feel you are being overly sensitive. As the week begins, solo pursuits will be the best bet. As it is a craving for peace and quiet will continue to be with you later on. Finding areas of agreement when working closely with others will not be easy. Your boss seems to think you can be in two places at the same time or they are starting to expect far too much from you.

Cancer

You would like everything to go your way but this is unlikely to happen. Perseverance and dedication are what it takes to get results. Impatience and indifference will get you nowhere. A newcomer is introduced to your circle. For some inexplicable reason, you may start worrying about whether you look right and sound interesting. Relax. There are plenty people who enjoy being with you and who respect you for who you are.

Leo

You will flourish when you can move around a large circle of friends. Teamwork will bring out the best in you. If you are asked to take on a leadership role, you won’t hesitate about your answer. There are some important matters that must be dealt with later and these will need all your concentration. Your nerves will be churning until an important event is over. Once it is, you will wonder what you were worrying about.

Virgo

You have an important choice to make. Weighing up the pros and cons is not helping as the list on either side is equally balanced. What do you do? You may have to trust your intuition, take a deep breath and make a decision. If you can find a confidential adviser, so much the better. You will be in a totally different mood once you get this matter out of the way. With a little help from a friend you will achieve something amazing.

Libra

Discussions will take you by surprise as you will hear something that comes as something of a revelation. Be sure others don’t get to see how stunned you are. Someone is deliberately trying to shock you and you don’t want to play into their hands. Financial and legal matters should go well for you and it will be a relief that all turns out as you hoped it would. As the week ends you will have something to celebrate.

Scorpio

Life is getting busier. If you’re being asked to do the work of two, be sure to get adequate compensation. People know what they are doing and how much pressure they’re putting on you but they will say they have no choice. They do. The reason they aren’t backing off in their demands is because it makes life easier for them. A new social venture will be more than just a game to you. A competitive note will enter a community event.

Sagittarius

If you’re trying to save money, you seem to instinctively know the best way to make your cash go further. You might find some great bargains on an online store. In business, your best course of action is to refuse to follow the crowd. Making decisions independently will pay off handsomely. This may mean sticking your neck out and expressing those original and untried ideas that spring into your mind.

Capricorn

Your attention is on your relationships. Expect to have to deal with an issue that involves another person. This is someone who is close to you and the issue will be resolved more swiftly if you’re willing to be flexible and open-minded. If you are determined to reach a goal, then your dedicated efforts will eventually bring the rewards they deserve. In fact results are bound to be all the more satisfying because of the time and effort you have put into reaching that stage.

Aquarius

You work hard and you are conscientious about your responsibilities. Even so, everyone needs a change every once in a while. If you can add a little variety to the pattern of your life, you could be surprised by how inspired this makes you feel. Visiting new places and trying new activities will bring you pleasure but as the week comes to a close, concentrate hard on finding inner peace rather than constantly seeking new experiences.

Pisces

As long as you don’t allow a tendency to daydream to get the better of common sense, there’s plenty to look forward to. If you have a choice between trying something new and sticking with what’s familiar, go for the former as your craving for something just a little different to your usual routines is likely to make itself felt very strongly. If you can arrange it so you can spend plenty of time away from home, so much the better.
