Pisces (February 19-March 20) daily horoscope for Wednesday August 28
Ready, set, organize!

You may have found yourself stressing over the most trivial things. Staying on top of details was especially challenging since Mercury’s mayhem left you feeling scattered and muddled. The cosmic messenger resumes direct (forward) motion today, helping to clear up chaos. Since August 14, Mercury’s been retrograde in your health sector. With your resistance down a quart, load up on immunity boosters like vitamins C and D, probiotics and as many dark leafy greens as you can eat.
