Georgia Nicols horoscopes for Aug. 28, 2016

Moon Alert

We have the “all clear” today to shop and do business. The Moon is in Cancer.

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Something will unexpectedly impact your home routine today. Small appliances might break down or minor breakages could occur. Surprise company might appear at your door. Could be anything. Stay light on your feet so you can handle this.

Taurus (April 20-May 20)

Today is a mildly accident-prone day for your sign, so pay attention to everything you say and do. Please note: Because you feel strongly about something related to your work, your job or even your health, you might be emotionally distracted. Distractions can lead to accidents. ‘Nuff said.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)

Keep an eye on your money and your possessions today because something unexpected might impact them. For example, you might find money; you might lose money. Ditto for your possessions. (Oh no!) Meanwhile, a family conversation will be strong, in your face and to the point!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Today the Moon is in your sign relating nicely to many planets — except for Uranus. (Major oops.) Uranus is wild and wacky! This makes you feel restless. It can also make you obsessed with something, especially something unusual. For sure, you don’t want anyone bossing you around today.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Something going on behind the scenes will disrupt your day. You have strong opinions about money today — how you spend it, how you earn it, or perhaps something to do with a possession that you own. When it comes to finances, you will express your opinions! Oh yeah.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

It looks like a friend or a member of a group will surprise you today. Or perhaps, instead you will meet someone new who is avant-garde, bohemian and very different. “Are you the Queen of Sheba?” “No, I’m the Queen of Denial.”

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Tread carefully around parents (especially Mom) and bosses today because people are excitable. (Don’t provoke anyone who has a dish in their hand.) However, if someone doesn’t surprise you, the tables could turn and you might surprise them! (After all, you do feel feisty and independent.)

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Travel plans will be interrupted today — almost certainly. Therefore, allow yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to deal with unexpected delays. Meanwhile, when talking to a group or a friend, you will be explicit about your ideas and what you want. They will hear you!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You will be convincing when talking to authority figures today because you’re ready to put a lot of yourself into what you have to say. (“I’m up to my neck in this!”) Naturally, others will sit up and pay attention. Meanwhile, check bank accounts and details about shared property to avoid surprises.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Be patient with a friend or partner today because they might throw you a curve ball. (Or it could be the other way around.) Someone might be on their soapbox preaching about politics and religion, which in turn, makes you reactionary and restless. Stay frosty.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

Today your work routine will be interrupted because of computer crashes, power outages, lost paperwork, canceled meetings, staff shortages — whatever. Just accept that this is likely and be prepared to deal with it. (“I’m ready!”) Do not give yourself a jam-packed schedule. Easy does it.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is an accident-prone day for your kids so be vigilant. Romantic dates and social appointments might be canceled, delayed or changed. This, in turn, will trigger an intense discussion with someone. It was ever thus.

If Your Birthday Is Today

Actress Katie Findlay (1990) shares your birthday today. You are warm, friendly and kindhearted. You have high standards and generally know how to do things your own way. You will be forever curious. This is a year of choice. You will likely make an important decision. In the first half of the year, reduce your overhead expenses so that you are financially strong later in the year. Happiness is having alternatives.
