Weekly horoscope: Your astrological predictions for the last week of August

Aries (Mar21/Apr20)

Keep the pace nice and steady where and whenever you have control. You can do this by either being overly demanding of yourself or of others. You might also take a sensible and slow approach to health. You’re ready for a well-earned break.

Taurus (Apr21/May21)

It will make sense to employ someone whose services can make life easier for an older relative who is struggling to cope. It may be necessary to get together with your family to work out a way to afford this.

Gemini (May22/June21)

You are aware there are people who are taking advantage of your easy-going nature. They think they can get away with deceiving you but what they don’t realise is the depth of your personality.

Cancer (June22/July23)

You’re always acutely aware of your emotions. A scene could get out of hand when someone is annoyed about something but you can’t understand what they are trying to tell you.

You might avoid the quicksand of a confusing issue by taking yourself away from the drama.

Leo (July24/Aug23)

Circumstances force you to slow down and to put some jobs on hold. You may have been looking forward to clearing the decks but you are going to have to leave this for another time. A pause in proceedings will be your chance to draw breath and rethink some situations.

Virgo (Aug24/Sept23)

Unless you get your ideas firmly centred regarding a domestic issue, housemates will get on with their plans without your approval. Discuss family projects and let others know how you feel. Your views will be listened to.

Libra (Sept24/Oct23)

Changes being made within the home will also mark the start of a new financial trend. Along with everything else you will be taking a serious look to the future and considering what can be done to build up security for time to come.

Scorpio (Oct24/Nov22)

An older relative can’t keep their thoughts to themselves. It will be a challenge not to let their critical comments bug you. Don’t be surprised if you slip into a sensitive mood when in close contact with an overbearing member of your family.

Sagittarius (Nov23/Dec21)

A small but significant disagreement will make it hard for you to get into the swing of your usual routine. Your thoughts won’t be on the job in hand. There’s a strong need to get something off your chest.

Capricorn (Dec22/Jan20)

Negotiations in the workplace continue. You need to work with those in authority to make sure a fair and reasonable offer is agreed on. It isn’t a good idea to remove anything that has been put on the table but to add to it.

Aquarius (Jan21/Feb19)

Something you overhear will take you by surprise. You won’t want to believe this is true because the truth is hard to swallow.

It will take time to digest this information but eventually you will come to terms with what is going on.

Pisces (Feb20/Mar20)

Someone close feels needy and they will look to you for some special attention. Would you rather continue with tasks that could be left until a later day or is it more important to give a loved one the chance to talk and get something off their chest?
