Horoscopes for August 28th

It is worthwhile to talk to people and bring on board people who share your interests. Don't leave it at mere talk, and don't be diverted. An active, purposeful partnership is vital.

If you are delayed, it is only because you have let someone else take control of something you should have taken responsibility for. Don't place blame; make changes so that you have control from now on.

While you are creative, you tend to be stubborn once an idea has set in. You must be willing to allow in new evidence, to be willing to change your mind. It is not a virtue to persist against evidence.

You are in a position where you may need to separate from familiar people and work on your own. You are doing your own thing now, and must realize that people are attending to their own business, as you are.

You take initiative now, but you may need to be careful about people's feelings. You know you are right, but are not patient enough to explain your reasons, at least not until things are done.

Embarrassment is a clue that you need to become more responsible, more thorough. It's also a good sign that you know that something is better. Reflect on what this would be, and be determined to achieve it.

You sense anxiety about the future, so you are determined to act on it now. However, some people are not prepared for change or to make way for you. Be assertive but not pushy.

Events at work are erratic and unpredictable. There is tension between the need to work and the desire to play. It's a bad mix; separate them into their appropriate times and venues.

You miss your mark at work or in some other public arena. After a stumble, you must pick yourself up and try again. You may need to keep a low profile so any gaffe isn't too obvious.

You find it easy to be spontaneous, but once set in motion you never stop. You hate leaving anything left undone, but you may reach a point where you must stop and hand off to others.

You may have to struggle to reach an agreement or understanding. Philosophic differences are contentious, but can be overcome if all sides are willing to listen and concede the true and valid points.

You're feeling agitated and excitable. You need to be more calm and measured, lest some poorly timed action cause an accident. Mood changes could cause confusion, so you need to cultivate a consistent viewpoint.
