General Daily Insight for August 28, 2025
Emotional release is feasible at this time.

Clearing the air might help us see what’s really going on, so we shouldn’t try to suppress confrontations that are potentially productive.
Aries
March 21 – April 19
Venting to a close confidant about a peer group drama you’re caught up in might be hard to resist. In return, you’re likely to hear more than you’d prefer about your own role in the conflict, which is potentially clearer to an outside observer than it is to you. Perhaps you’ve been giving others mixed messages. If you’re not sure what you want because you’re in flux, that’s a legitimate thing to say — maybe you should just start telling people that!
Taurus
April 20 – May 20
A recent power struggle in a close relationship could point to an unsettling question. You may start to wonder whether you even want to be involved with this person.

June 21 – July 22

July 23 – August 22

Let that clarify your vision of the big picture.
Virgo
August 23 – September 22
Asking a few pointed questions could currently cut through a fog of confusion. As independent Uranus in your 10th House of Purpose checks on blurry Neptune in your collaboration sector, reining in any responsibilities that you share with someone else should free up some resources to pursue your personal goals. If you suspect the present arrangement has been engineered to serve an agenda other than the completion of legitimately necessary tasks, challenge it.

Libra
September 23 – October 22

Scorpio
October 23 – November 21

Although you might like the positive attention you receive for performing this duty, you have personal needs that should still matter.

You don’t have to hoard all the benefits of service for yourself!
Sagittarius
November 22 – December 21
Taking a break from a passionate debate might help you clarify your position on a contested issue. It’s okay to say that you don’t know the answer. As brilliant Uranus in your relationship zone stimulates foggy Neptune in your 5th House of Self-Expression, it’s also fine to defer to someone whose viewpoint is more defined than yours.

Capricorn
December 22 – January 19

January 20 – February 18

Pisces
February 19 – March 20
Going somewhere outside your usual routine could provide the reset you need today. Perhaps a toxic power dynamic surrounding some of your regular tasks has become entrenched.

Pressuring other people to do things your way isn’t likely to supply the security you crave, so look into other ways to achieve that balance.
