August 28th Zodiac

The changeable nature with Sun in the mutable sign of Virgo is best seen on August 28th. This is a time of extreme tenderness and vulnerability, at the same time being a date of high energies and intense initiative and force. The inner conflict may lead to neurosis and all types of aggressive and destructive behavior, but it becomes truly powerful in time, as they find the right mission to embark on and true faith to follow them in their tracks.

August 28th Horoscope

With such intense energy and the importance of grounding quite obvious in those born on the 28th of August, we can anticipate a story of physiology and their body to be extremely important. These individuals are bound to train, exercise, and commit to a healthy routine if they are to truly live out their purpose and be able to protect their heart from such strong energies. They are to care for their physical existence while managing to sink deep into their hearts to embrace all "fallen" emotions, anger and destruction that might come alive.

Love and Emotions

August 28th gives a sense of struggle between one's sexuality and their sensitive emotional world, and these things will often overlap in strange ways and make them uncertain about their choice of partner. They could have trouble finding love in difficulty and dark situations, for the fight for laughter and childish fun, romance, and inspiration seems to exclude all those things that live in their shadows. Focused on one partner and their ideals, they could be badly hurt and disappointed if they don’t value themselves enough and comprehend the importance of pain on their path to truly connect to their significant one.

Torn between platonic relationships and those that are mostly sexual, it is possible that they will build some coping mechanism that won’t let them move from a stagnant point. What they really need is faith, so they can give up to their dream and let it lead the way, away from bonds that don’t fulfill their needs either way, into one, important relationship that will serve a higher purpose in their life and lift them one step higher towards the person they wish to become.
