What is in your horoscope this week - August 28, 2023

These are the horoscopes for week commencing August 28, 2023.

Aries 21 March – 20 April

You may be extra sensitive to other people’s moods, overflowing with kindness and keen to escape from the harshness and complexity of life. Yet with Mars in Libra you could be doing all you can to handle an edgy situation in the most diplomatic way possible. And because of this, a desire to let off steam could find you eager to shop or do something that gives you a thrill.

Taurus 21 April – 21 May

Energizing Uranus turns retrograde in your sign, encouraging you to enhance your inner game. If you’ve felt like something needs to shift, you’ll be more likely to act now. Plus, the Full Moon in your social zone can highlight romantic opportunities and interesting encounters. You could get quite emotional though, so think first before doing anything you might regret later.

Gemini 22 May – 21 June

The Full Moon puts you in the spotlight, so it’s time to shine bright by discussing your feelings on an issue in a way that could help everyone. A message you give out can be reassuring and comforting, leaving others feeling so much better. On a separate matter, Mars’ awkward angle with Saturn suggests something that’s difficult to discuss. A tactful tone can assist, Gemini.

Cancer 22 June – 23 July

Memories could compel you to call someone you haven’t seen in a while for a chance to catch up, and you may end up arranging a visit that could do you both the world of good. Exciting options may show up if you’re travelling somewhere new. Plus an unexpected encounter could be a breath of fresh air. This person’s zesty perspective could open your eyes.

Leo 24 July – 23 August

Treasures from the deep can emerge, as the Full Moon in an intense zone brings insights and ideas that could be a game-changer. This week communication is key, and with Mars in Libra this is the perfect time for reaching agreements and closing deals. Need to be firm with someone? You’ll manage it in a way that you get the message across without them taking offence.

Virgo 24 August – 23 September

An opportunity may come your way and it could be a good one, but don’t be surprised if it takes a while to materialise. With Mercury currently retrograde there could be last-minute complications which mean you’ll have to wait. It’s worth hanging on for though. Plus, the Full Moon in your sector of relating is great for romance whatever your relationship status.

Libra 24 September – 23 October

With Mars newly in your sign you’ll gain in confidence and feel like you’re truly in your element. This is the time to set your sights high and prepare to accomplish those goals and plans that are so important to you. Plus, connecting with someone from the past could net you an opportunity you’ve always wanted. Mind, with Uranus rewinding, it helps to expect the unexpected.

Scorpio 24 October – 22 November

The Full Moon in Pisces can bring out the romance in a relationship and encourage you to acknowledge your feelings. Once you do, you and another may become an item. Having second thoughts about an agreement or plan? Don’t stew over it. Discuss it and you’ll easily sort it out. Plus, others may become a tad unpredictable as Uranus goes into reverse from this week.

Sagittarius 23 November – 21 December

Expect a few disruptions to your plans, not only because Mercury continues to be retrograde, but also because Uranus goes into reverse this week. You may feel like you’re taking one step forward and two back. But watch the timing of events too. If something doesn’t happen when it’s supposed to, there may be a reason for this. Take it easy on the Thursday Full Moon.

Capricorn 22 December – 20 January

Mars in Libra adds extra emphasis to your sector of goals and ambitions. The coming weeks are excellent for getting your message out to the world and for promoting your talents. There could be the potential for mixed messages though, as Mercury continues its retro phase. This may be amplified by the Full Moon in Pisces, with feelings trumping logic when making key decisions.

Aquarius 21 January – 19 February

As Uranus rewinds in your home zone for some months, it may coincide with a fresh perspective on the place where you live and how it might benefit you on a deeper level. With Mercury continuing in reverse in your financial zone, don’t rush to make purchases or close deals. Have no option? Keep receipts! The Pisces Full Moon can make you too generous, so go easy!

Pisces 20 February – 20 March

With a Full Moon in your sign, you’ll be seductive without even realising it. Solo? Don’t be surprised if you get offers of dates. Entangled? The passion in your relationship may be rekindled. It’s also time to resolve an issue if it’s proving a real burden. With Uranus rewinding and Mars angling uncomfortably towards Saturn, the answer may not be what you expected.
