Horoscope: Saturday, Aug 29

The next few days will be important for your aims and ambitions and bring no end of opportunities to move up in the world. Remind yourself constantly this week that anything is possible, that you alone create the path you take through life.

You probably should settle down a bit today in the love and romance department, Aries. Realize that your relationships with others aren't a show or stage act to perform. This is a day when you should listen to feedback from your partner and think about restructuring certain elements of your relationship in order to make things flow more smoothly.

If someone comes to you with a sob story today you will, of course, listen sympathetically and do what you can to assist them, but keep your wits about you too because almost certainly they are not telling you the whole truth.

If you need to get along with someone you fell out with recently now is the time to approach them and let them know you want to be friends again. Your reasons for doing so may have more to do with profit than friendship but that’s okay.

It’s not all about winning and losing Gemini – it’s also about how you play the game. Whatever contest or competition or challenge you find yourself involved in today it’s not a case of all or nothing. Sportsmanship is more important than success.

Get out into the world and travel and socialize as much as you can. People you meet while coming and going will bring new ideas and opportunities your way, at least one of which has the potential to make you famous, maybe even rich.

Full moons often make you touchy and the present one is no exception. You may find it hard not to snap at people whose actions annoy you but that’s okay as they probably deserve it. Steer clear of crowded places – you are better off on your own now.

Opportunity will come knocking this week and you must not hesitate to grab it with both hands. The only problem you may face is that you get so many interesting offers that you can’t make up your mind which one to go for. Be decisive.

You're wasting your energy, Leo, and you know it. You go out to dinner, attend parties and shows, but you're never really present. You listen to people but what they're saying doesn't interest you in any fundamental way. Yes, you're bored, and you're afraid to admit it to yourself. The depth of your inner search requires that you use a lot of energy to reexamine your life.

Set yourself targets you know you can reach today and work toward them slowly and diligently. One of the great things about your sign is that you are not flashy – you just get on and do what needs to be done. That’s why people trust you.

As Venus, your ruler, moves back into your sign today this is a good time to let those you care about know how much you love them. Don’t worry if not everyone responds with the same level of enthusiasm. Not everyone is as expressive as you.

Make sure you are firmly in control of your emotions, because if you allow negative feelings to build up there could be an explosion of some sort when Mars squares up to Uranus next Thursday. Take nothing too seriously, least of all yourself.

It may be true that certain people have been less than helpful of late but that is not an excuse to hold back from helping them when they need it. Someone has got to break the cycle of mistrust – someone with a big, forgiving Sagittarius heart!

You could easily take on too much or take the kind of risk that might backfire over the next few days. It may sound boring but the planets suggest you will do best if you stay in your current groove and keep plodding along. What’s the rush?

If you have any chores to get through you should finish them as early in the week as you can. Later on you will want to turn your attention to relationships and friendships but that won’t be so easy if you still have commitments holding you back.

The load you have to carry will get even heavier over the next few days but don’t worry, you are strong enough to bear it. Both physically and emotionally you will be pushed to the limits, but that’s okay because your limits don’t have to be fixed.

If there is someone whose attention you want to attract now is the time to make your move. Don’t be shy: go right up to them and let them know you exist. Chances are they will be impressed by your courage – and by your ideas.

Nervous tension could cause a temporary malaise that keeps your energy very low today. But there are tasks that need to be done, Pisces, so you'll probably try to do them in spite of the way you feel. Try not to overwork yourself or take your weariness out on others. It's better to let some things go than make yourself and everyone else that much more stressed out.
