LEO

23 July – 22 August

This could be an awkward month in which you have to play catch up, not only with other people but also with yourself. You’ll come under pressure to do things you have agreed to do, but have now lost your enthusiasm for, so you need to be honest and direct with friends and family if only to buy yourself a bit more time.

Despite all that, August looks to be quite a bright time on the social scene, and in particular, I think you’ll be letting your hair down between the 14th and 21st when a business opportunity drops into your lap. Increasingly, towards the end of the month, there is a boost to your financial confidence, which is great, although it doesn’t get you off the hook of having to define some of your emotional priorities. Therefore it seems inevitable that you might come under some pressure from a loved one who needs more from you than you are prepared, or are able, to give.

VIRGO

23 August – 22 September

Potentially a very hectic and busy month with not enough hours in the day to do all the things you need to do. Journeys and travel aspects are highlighted, and you’ll be keeping a very close eye on finances as you seek to regain losses sustained earlier in the year. Partnerships and relationships are in harmony and accord and joint efforts will be rewarded in more ways than one. Holidays are not very likely at this time, but even so, as I’ve already mentioned, I reckon you might be doing quite a lot of travelling in connection with job routines, with lots of motorway miles. With this in mind, it might be worth your while to make sure that your car is in tip-top condition – either that or join the AA. This trend, by the way, while relevant to August, probably becomes even more significant in September.

LIBRA

23 September – 22 October 

A dreamy month in all affairs of the heart, and whatever is happening in the boardroom won’t be nearly as important as what is happening in the bedroom! Work aspects are important, but careers and job priorities are demoted in favour of developing romantic ties with someone who becomes increasingly special with every passing day. There is a delightful energy which suggests that if you are looking for commitment and proof of someone’s love for you, it should be there in abundance, and could do much to 00salve past hurts and disappointments.

The downside is that this might (and I only say might) put single parents under a bit of pressure in connection with family loyalties, but you need to remember that you will be a much better parent if you’re happy and fulfilled than you would be if you were unhappy and running on emotional empty. Therefore, you know what you’ve got to do!

SCORPIO

23 October – 21 November 

A sexy romantic vibe that made its presence felt in July carries on over into August, and like your Libran neighbour, you’ll be happy to give relationships top billing in your list of priorities. There could be a hiccup of divided loyalties around the 16th/19th when duty gets in the way of desire, but you should follow your heart regardless of any consequences. I know that might be easier for me to say than it might be for you to do, but at the end of the day, if you don’t make any efforts to find a greater slice of happiness, who else will? I think that there is someone close to you who wants more of your time and attention (in romantic and sexual terms) and in my opinion, you’d be a bit of a twit not to give it. If you think of all the other people around you, mums, dads, kids, colleagues, best friends, there is no way you can make them happy if you are unhappy, and I reckon this truth will begin to sink in around the 15th/20th and from the 21st onwards you’ll finally start to do something about it.

SAGITTARIUS

22 November – 21 December 

A feeling of quiet satisfaction first encountered in July gains momentum throughout August: finances are improving and there is a new sense of discipline and achievement within the home. Partners and spouses work hard to please you, but unfortunately, there is a tendency for you to take their efforts a little bit too much for granted. So, take stock, do a reality check, and moderate your requests and expectations.

I think there is some really good news for parents in connection with the progress of their children, and several worries that have plagued you for quite some time begin to subside. One (older) child in particular moves closer to home, and does a lot to enhance the family vibe. I’m not sure when exactly this might be, so I’ll let it hang with “August”. Around the 18th/19th/20th there should be good news in connection with any overseas links and affiliations.

CAPRICORN

22 December – 19 January 

A bit of an awkward month in which you are faced with one or two practical decisions, one of which has some long term financial implications. Do your sums, think things through, perhaps listen to the advice of other people, but at the end of the day, the buck stops with you.

This issue will probably not be resolved until September, and only then after some hard work and significant compromises. In the meantime, the early part of August bodes very well for family reunions and short UK based journeys, and you’ll find yourself increasingly happy with work routines and new work projects.  

On a very parochial level, there may be some decisions needed in connection with modes of transport… Do you keep an old car or commit yourself to a change? There are arguments for both options, and while something does need to be sorted out on this subject, you have a bit of time on your side, so think things through carefully. You may look to a partner for some help on this one, but while they will advise as best they can, they’ll make it clear that it must be your decision.

AQUARIUS

20 January – 18 February 

Some financial improvement this month but you might not be happy with new work routines, especially if you’ve got used to working from home and now have to go back to an office. Nevertheless, things balance out eventually – although a little more help and understanding from partners and spouses would be nice. You could say “there’s none so blind as those who cannot see” but you could equally say “there’s none so blind as those who don’t want to see.” 

Actually, a bit more time spent out of the home might not be entirely a bad thing. There seems to be a lot of activity in this area around the 7th and 8th and again with more gusto on the 24th or 25th and by the very end of the month, you should have made the necessary adjustments (both physical and mental) and overall you will be much happier with your lot. Parents should enjoy some quiet pride in the achievements of their children, and if there has been some worry and concern in connection with one child in particular, this will now be resolved in a very positive way to the satisfaction of everybody involved. 

PISCES

19 February – 20 March 

An easy and enjoyable month compared to some you have known this year, and as such, you should be able to release much of the inner tension which has been building up over the last three or four months. Long phone calls, celebrations and reunions are frequent and enjoyable as you enjoy the process of re-joining the human race! It might not be happening as quickly as you might like, but hey, it is happening!

A member of the opposite sex, someone you have either only recently met or don’t know very well, starts to show you some interest, which could be a very good thing or rather an awkward situation, depending upon your existing emotional commitments. On the plus side, it will be nice to know that you’re wanted, but on the downside, you might have to disappoint someone if you do not want them in return. Either way, there is some romantic and emotional activity at various times throughout the month, which if nothing else will boost your ego and help to make life a bit more exciting.

ARIES 

March 20 – April 19

Journeys (possibly North) and reunions, especially family reunions, are high on the cards, and there is a lovely mood of freedom and wellbeing. You should be busy with a variety of projects associated with new work routines, and in some cases, you might find that you have a lot more free time to enjoy leisure pursuits, but there is some tension with partners and spouses who expect you to do stuff you really don’t want to do right now. A few firm but gentle words should ease this situation, but there are things which need to be said, even if you don’t want to say them and partners don’t want to hear them! There must be a clearer appreciation of your past efforts and present needs and you shouldn’t have to defend your opinions and priorities; rather it is more a case of explaining them in ways that another person can understand. 

TAURUS

April 20 – May 21

Some of you will be struggling to lose the weight you put on during the lockdown, but overall your mood should be bright and optimistic. One particular work project takes up much of your time, and financially you may need to speculate to accumulate. The goodwill of partners is very important right now, so be especially nice to them.  

I suspect that there will be more than one tense conversation about financial priorities, and then it will be up to both parties to stick like glue to new rules and fiscal restrictions. Also, there may well be some dispute involving a boss, business partner, or colleagues: I’m not sure exactly when this will be so maybe it’s an ongoing scenario throughout the month. You need to put your case forwards calming and quietly, without getting het up and losing your rag… and then sit back, go with the flow, and see what happens next.

GEMINI

May 22 – June 21

Life slips back into familiar routines but there is a restlessness within you which breeds a quiet mood of discontent. You will find yourself looking at family relationships with rather critical eyes, and if you’re a parent, there will be issues with the behaviour of children. You know that some things have to change, and it’s you who must start the ball rolling. This might not make you popular, but there are certainly some areas where you need to draw a line in the sand.

On the subject of ‘sand,’ some of you will be enjoying a late summer holiday, more probably in the UK rather than anywhere continental, but where ever you end up, you’ll benefit greatly from a break and will appreciate a change of scene. Travel plans are more likely to be associated with the latter half of the month than the early weeks. Some health concerns creeping in at various times, not so much for yourself, but for other people close to you.

CANCER

June 22 – July 23

You start the month with a high burst of energy, and then quickly run out of steam. It’s so much easier just to sit back and let things develop at their own pace. Partners may be impatient when it comes to launching new ideas and there’ll be a clash of wills around the 18th/20th but at the end of the day, you’re only going to act in your own sweet time. You’ve learned, probably at a high cost over the years, that there is some truth in the old maxim “more haste, less speed” and therefore you’ll be content to play the waiting game. While this is true in connection with careers and businesses, it is also true when associated with relationships and affairs of the heart.  

One area where this is not applicable is in relationships with children, and on more than one occasion you are going to be frustrated and disappointed by the behaviour of your off-spring. If you find yourself getting angry, let it all hang out, because those younger people need to know how you feel and they also need to know that they’re treading on very thin ice.
