LEO *Star sign of the month*
Some new opportunities are being presented to you this month which could change the direction of your life. Frankly, you’d be a fool not to take them! Yes, this might mean sacrificing some of the old to make way for the new, but at the end of the day, it should be very worthwhile. Having said that, avoid reckless gambles but do not be afraid of taking calculated risks – and this is equally applicable to both the professional and emotional aspects of your life.
VIRGO
“Money makes the world go round with a clinking clanking sound” and that’s a sound you’ll be hearing loud and clear throughout August, which may well turn out to be the best money month you’ve had all year! There will be the payment of monies that are owed to you, and one cannot discount the possibility of plain old luck money, but primarily it’s down to what you earn, create and generate for yourself. So, maybe not such an active month where relationships are concerned. Your attention is on your job!
LIBRA
My old granny used to say “I want never gets” but I have found this to be untrue. If you want something enough, you will get it, albeit in some cases, sometime down the line. August is a month for redefining targets and also for receiving something (someone?) you’ve been working to get for a very long time. People who might have been critical of your methods will now have to concede that you were right and they were wrong. Don’t gloat, but do enjoy being vindicated.
SCORPIO
This might turn out to be a difficult month in many respects, for while you are doing your best to sort out your own problems, other people are putting you under pressure to sort out theirs as well. This could be equally applicable in both your domestic and professional life. The only way to avoid getting stressed out by all of this is to take one step backwards, concentrate solely on your own issues and agendas, and make it clear that this is your line in the sand.
SAGITTARIUS
There is an attraction towards all things new which gathers strength over the next few weeks. This could be new jobs, new domestic routines, new cars, fridges and freezers, new relationships or if nothing else, new depths of understanding in existing relationships. Along with this, there is the gradual emergence of a subtle shift in your sense of identity: who you were today is not who you were yesterday and nor is it who you will be tomorrow. Enjoy this gentle transition, and learn from it.
CAPRICORN
On more than one occasion this month you will find yourself in the role of go-between or peacemaker. You have good work to do here. This is also a month for gaining new self-knowledge and recognising that you are stronger than you thought you were. Some tension on the work scene involving 3rd parties, and here maybe you need to take a step back and let other people sort out the mess. Old faces go, and new faces take their place.
AQUARIUS
Even if you had half a ton of TNT that still might not be enough to break down the barriers and obstructions you are having to deal with right now, so, sit back, pour yourself a drink, put your feet up, tell the world to sod off… and wait for the seasons and situations to change. In other words, don’t force the door open, rather wait for the right time to cross the threshold. And just remember this… as one door closes there is always another which opens.
PISCES
This is one of those months in which actions speak louder than words, so don’t be backward in coming forwards and taking the lead role in some of life’s little dramas. Tell people what you think and tell them how you feel, and if they don’t like it, that’s got to be their problem, not yours. There will be a marked degree of impatience throughout the month, but this is a good thing because I think you’ve been far too patient for far too long. So full speed ahead… and charge!
ARIES
A flurry of activity at the beginning of the month! At least one journey which should be as educational as it is vacational, some sort of family reunion within the first 7 or 10 days, and a distinct buzz of opportunity where all things romantic and emotional are concerned. On the downside, some link with insurance companies and you might have to fight for what is rightfully yours, and there may be some concern regarding a family member’s ongoing ill-health.
TAURUS
A lovely month for relationships between mothers and children and possibly some news of a pregnancy or birth. Workwise there is a sense of growth and optimism as some long-term plans come closer to fruition. This is also the right time to put some new plans and ideas into action. Family reunions are probable during the first ten days and travel aspects are well starred for the second half of the month. Ignoring the junk mail and the bills, August is also an important month for correspondence.
GEMINI
A marvellous month for young singles, especially the females, who are looking for some new adventures and some improvement in their love lives. Not such a good month for misogynistic males who fail to realise the fact that they are now living in a woman’s world. Legal papers, contracts and documents are being signed around the 16th/17th and if you’re wondering what to do, go with your gut instincts and you won’t go far wrong.
CANCER
An interesting month for Cancerian males, who, much to their own surprise, find themselves on the receiving end of some of life’s sweet riches. A good month for the ladies as well, providing they are prepared to follow a degree of male leadership. If not, there will be problems, because the bottom line here is that you follow the man or you lose the man. In divisions or loyalties between children and partners, bite the bullet and put the partnership first.
