August 26 brings a sudden awareness of a personal or home situation that's been making you feel kind of unsettled. It may answer the question of what home means to you, or even how you define family.
But it may also require you to be brave enough to strike out on your own, Gemini, creating the space for you to find what fits.
Cancer

You can often be your own worst enemy when it comes to love and following your heart. The truth is something that can’t be debated or changed, Virgo. However, this is what you’ve been trying to do in your romantic life.
Instead of trying to make a relationship into something it’s not, it’s time to see everything for what it is, including your part in what has happened. This may come with some difficulty on August 26 as you realize you have to accept reality, but it is also a moment that sets you free from the past.
Libra

Your intuition is never wrong, sweet Libra. Although you do believe in your intuition and signs from the universe, you’ve felt confused about where you’ve been guided recently.
This has created a battle between your head, which doesn’t want to entertain change, and your heart, which has a feeling that something isn’t meant to be. But the truth prevails on Wednesday, and you are reminded to never discount those inner feelings because your intuition is never wrong.
Scorpio

There has been some confusion around how to move forward or which new beginning you should seize. This could come about as having to make a choice between two people, but more likely is involving two different paths in your life.
No matter what has happened, Capricorn, be sure that you’re choosing the path of healing, even if it feels more challenging. This is what will actually lead you to everything you’ve been dreaming of.
Aquarius

While the truth is often thought of as something that is tangible and grounded, it doesn’t always fit into the neat picture of how you thought you’d live your life. This is what happens when you’re faced with the truth of your feelings on Wednesday.
Think about what is possible if you give a certain connection a chance, Aquarius. Be sure that you honor your emotions as they arise without questioning if you’re on the right path.
Pisces
