ARIES
You are more in your element in
August as the tempo of everyday
life picks up and your interests
broaden into new areas. A time of exploration,
you’ll stay alert to what’s new and enjoy lively
exchanges with others. A great time to promote,
buy or sell whilst learning a great deal. Love or
romance is on the agenda for some, but for all
this is a time to let go, relax and be spontaneous.
However, don’t let over-enthusiasm tempt you to
sign on the dotted line too quickly. Next month
you’ll feel more businesslike.

TAURUS
Challenges on the home-front are in the
process of resolution. Relationships with
nearest and dearest flow more smoothly
and you begin to see a clearer way ahead. After the
6th you’ll be busy tackling finances and improving
your material situation. Physical effort could go into
protecting your interests or standing up for what is
important to you. Overall you’ll be weighing things
up and calculating the worth of what someone is
offering. Children or a love relationship could need
careful attention on the 13th-15th. Successful
outcomes are likely on the 23rd-24th.

GEMINI
The influences of recent weeks may
have produced more questions than
answers keeping you in reflective
mood or more attracted to artistic or spiritual activities.
But from the second week the soul-searching and timetravelling
gives way to a high-energy, productive period
which is about scrutinizing the reality that really is whilst
gathering information and playing with new ideas. As you
turn your most social face to the world you’ll be picking
up useless (yet priceless) information in the process.
Someone else’s perspective is important on the 23rd-
24th . Next month you begin to reshuffle at home.

CANCER
For some time you’ve been called
upon to put faith before logic and
hope before doubt in your efforts
to stabilize your material situation, The key may be
to emulate the 3 monkeys who hear, speak and see
no ‘evil’. If you can hold the focus on what you DO
want rather than what you DON’T want there could
be a happy outcome for all. This is the final chapter
in a long-running serial and a good period to set up
strategies which protect your interests. Now is the
time to organize you priorities. In September you’ll
consolidate your new foundations.

LEO
Venus has done much to mitigate any
sense of separation recently and, as
you emerge from a period of hard work
and deep reflection, you’ll feel the strengthening
influence of the Sun in your sign. You are completing
a 2 and a half year period of intense self-examination
as, step by step you climbed the mountain, establishing
yourself in the world more on your own terms. August
is a super-social month with the focus on friends and
groups. You’ll be within sight of the peak and maybe
surprised at just how far you’ve come. And look! Here
comes the sun!

VIRGO
With the sun, mercury and venus in
the most introspective area of your
chart for most of the month there’s
a danger you’ll spread yourself too thin if you
don’t take time out. Its likely you’ll be very much
in demand especially on the 13th-15th, but try to
minimize stresses. There is a dynamic time coming
after the 3rd week, when you’ll be flying ahead and
launching new things, so use this period to settle
yourself and listen to your intuitive mind. Enjoy the
positive opportunities on the 23/24th when your
actions should have happy outcomes.

LIBRA
Recent pressures related to relationships
and joint resources may have provoked
some soul-searching as you struggled
to find new solutions. In August the skies clear and a
following wind is guiding you to a new land where the
natives are friendly. Pressures ease as your horizons
broaden and a new range of options becomes available
to you. This climate of exploration will put you in
touch with others of like mind who will appreciate you
for yourself. A great time for travel and adventure,
those at a distance will be important. Next month
you’ll be clearing the decks.

SCORPIO
A busy, mentally stimulating period when
teamwork and one to one relationships
are a key feature. With the sun and venus
powering up the most public side of your chart you will
turn your powerful gaze upon the world. You should
have back-up from authority figures and officials,
so, if there is an important goal to achieve now is
the time to get out there and do it. Changes related
to your material/financial situation may pose some
deeper questions, but the 23/24th looks promising
for business opportunities, assets or investing. Next
month new contacts will be important.

SAGITTARIUS
The sun in Leo resonates well with your
out-going, firey nature, lifting your
mood and opening doors to the wider
world. New interests and long-distance contacts will
be important. This is a more spiritual period when
you are drawn once again to seek answers to some
of life’s greater mysteries, and with recent insights
so fresh in your mind you may be asking the right
questions at last. An excellent time for travel and
academic work, you could find yourself ‘volunteered’
to guide others or co-ordinate an event. Next month
the harvest begins.

CAPRICORN
The gear-change is almost complete,
the inevitable outcome of a longrunning
scenario is nearing its
conclusion. Its likely there will be issues concerning
jointly held resources, what you share emotionally
with someone, or a sea-change in your feelings.
Intuition is working well so you should ‘listen to your
bones’ when you encounter patches of inner turmoil.
That apart, a romantic interest or creative enterprise
could send a delicious ripple through all your levels
causing a turnaround in your feelings. Next month
you’ll broaden your horizons.

AQUARIUS
A working unit functions best for you at
this time of the year so take advantage
of another’s expertise. Even conflicting
opinions can be creative and help you keep your feet on
the ground. Partnerships and romantic relationships go
well and even old feuds can be settled under the genial
auspices of venus. A cautious or business-like approach
is favoured on the 13-15th when there is potential to
achieve alot. Otherwise this is a period to relax and
enjoy the company of buddies or new associates who
are part of your vision for better-things-to-come. Next
month you’ll be cutting the ties that bind.

PISCES
You are becoming so well-versed in how
to cope with the practical realities of
physical existence that this month should
be a doddle! You’ll be rolling up your sleeves and tackling
chores at work and at home, organizing your space
or adopting a more sensible health regime. Domestic
relationships may need careful handling as minor spats
are possible - a diplomatic yet firm approach is advised.
Pisceans with birthdays in the 2nd week may have to deal
with unsettling conditions in the short-term however the
long-term outlook is positive with less restrictions. Next
month stresses around work and health will ease.
