Fire Signs…

LEO August starts slow but then things get more frantic towards the end of the month. Wacth out for arguments about money later in on; maybe you and a partner are working at cross purposes. If you’ve an ambitious project that’s been ‘on hold’ now might be the time to take some action in reaching this goal. 7th and 16th are auspicious dates.

ARIES A potentially stormy month with lots to do and so many demands on your time. You do need a break - a break for YOU, doing what you want. 13th August or there abouts things come to a head… !!!

SAGITTARIUS A good time to build partnerships, create alliances. A useful time to go out and sell yourself - show yourelf off. Look for the opportunities to tell someone just how special YOU are. 10th and 12th August promises new liaisons if single, interesting offers if in a relationship!

Earth Signs…

TAURUS Some choices to make this month - continue doing the same old-same old OR make a break and do something different or risky. You need to do something to shake-up the career or work life - how about on the 13th ? or establish some deeper communication with a partner on the 16th

VIRGO Maybe the summer sun has been providing the heat to light the touch paper for some emotional fireworks lately. The challenge is not to become a martyr in all of this - try to be a bit more assertive. Sometimes your acts of sacrifice and selflessness are the things that stop you from being fully present in your relationships.

CAPRICORN Deal with your finances before they deal with you. You need to take care of business before enjoying the summer sun. Watch out for power stuggles mid month and go out of your way to make contact with stimulating and interesting people - you could learn something!

Air Signs….

GEMINI If you’re feeling lively and full of energy this month could bring some very interesting distractions. Opportunities to learn and deepen relationships; shake up the career and maybe break from the status quo. 13th and 16th will be good days to make deeper connections.

AQUARIUS It’s been a heavy month or two for some Aquarians. Time to express yourself - say what you think and feel. You can choose to let the day to day grind get you down or you can choose to say ’sod it all’ and live a little. 10th and 12th bring opportunities to tell all!

LIBRA Go on be the extravert you long to be. If you’ve been feeling socially trapped or isolated nows the time to rattle at the bars of your own self confinement and GO PARTY!” … By the way… Romance beckons after the 13th!

Water signs….

SCORPIO A bit of a complex month ahead mainly in terms of your career and perhaps your ’self image’. Things may not be as they seem and some of the blocks and challenges you face may only be superficially insignificant. Go with care! You need to keep your goals in your mind and be very clear about your actions.

CANCER With no major planetary influences on your sign this month it’s a time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labours. Give a little more focus to things on the domestic front and enjoy the comforst that can come from home, family and friends.

PISCES Fate seems to be playing a very active role in your life these days…. it’s a time to go with the flow and see where things lead. This may not be the best time to try to make sense of things and there may be no pattern at all to the odd things that have been happening. From 9th August things get more intense, more active, more bizarre - SO ENJOY!!!
