HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Sunday, August 28, 2022. It’s a better day for running errands, handling chores and other tasks of the like. The day’s finicky cosmic weather will most likely put a damper on any fun that we’re hoping to have. Problems in relationships could crop up, too, as feelings of loss, loneliness, or dissatisfaction could bring confidence levels down. There may be some controlling or overbearing behaviour to be mindful of as well, necessitating the need for healthy boundaries. On the bright side, this can be a good time for working through relationship and self-love issues. Helping or showing up for others is also encouraged.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) — Sometimes getting what you want takes time, or sometimes you have to switch up your approach. Don’t get discouraged.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) — Don’t be pressured to try and be someone you’re not to gain recognition or respect. Bring your full self to the table.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) — What do you need to emotionally release or begin to heal? It’s time to learn some new tools to cultivate your happiness.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) — You are worthy of receiving love and support from others. Don’t close yourself off from it.

LEO (July 23 to Aug 22) — Don’t let the naysayers get into your head or shake your confidence. Do what’s best for you.

VIRGO (Aug 23 to Sept 22) — Take credit for your hard work. Pat yourself on the back. Toot your own horn. Forget being modest.

LIBRA (Sept 23 to Oct 22) — You don’t have to be on or available all the time. You can be just as happy in your own company or private world.

SCORPIO (Oct 23 to Nov 21) — You have more people that are for you than against you. Let your guard down a little.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 to Dec 21) — You might be feeling a bit rusty in terms of your skill set or how much you know. Take this as an opportunity to continue growing and evolving.

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 to Jan 19) — Be mindful of saddling yourself with unnecessary commitments or solely valuing yourself by how much you do. There’s so much more to life besides work.

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 to Feb 18) — It’s not your job to always be the one caretaking for others. Let people show up and take care of you.

PISCES (Feb 19 to March 20) — Avoid trying to rescue or fix people. Step back a little and allow others to do what works for them.

FOR TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

You’re a loyal and dedicated friend. You take your relationships seriously. You take your work seriously, too. Although you sometimes need to believe more in yourself, you never hesitate to go above and beyond in solving a problem or achieving a goal. You don’t shy away from hard work or commitment. You’re responsible and resourceful. If you run into a roadblock, you’re not afraid to try a new approach or get creative. This year, it’s all about learning how to make yourself and your needs more of a priority. Take care of you!
