August 1.
Aries
The focus is on your personal life and goals in August, dear Aries. While much
contentment can be found at home, you’re also more than willing to enjoy leisure
activities and to make new plans for keeping organized and efficient on the job,
particularly around the 17th. Demands from a friend, or the need of others to
lean on you for support, can keep you especially busy in the first week of the
month. Events occurring now bring you to the realization that you need to reach
out and connect.
Taurus
August is strong for romance and finances for you, dear Taurus, although
impulsiveness is an inclination in both areas. Conversations with others are for
the most part healthy and forward-looking. Mid-month, a heart to heart with a
lover has a more serious tone, and should be considered carefully. Changeful
conditions surrounding your career this month eventually lead to improvement of
your position and an increased sense of personal fulfillment, even if it feels a
little chaotic for the time being.
Gemini
In August, the spotlight is on your home and family, dear Gemini, as well as
necessary errands, paperwork, and learning. You’ve been quite “me” focused
recently, and a restless urge is likely to take hold in the first week of the
month. You are reminded of important responsibilities surrounding family and
finances mid-August. Until the 25th, Mars in your sign keeps you on your toes,
providing you with the energy and gumption to go after what you want from your
life. Friends are helpful and seem to have your best interests at heart.
Cancer
August is a month in which you are hatching plans, resting more than usual, and
experiencing less personal energy, dear Cancer. You are instinctively preparing
for a more outgoing phase starting in the last week of the month, when energy
returns, particularly when it comes to career matters. A struggle over matters
of dependence and personal freedom might kick off this new cycle. A friend,
family, or group activities inspire you this month, and you feel supported and
acknowledged. Pay special attention to what a partner has to say mid-month.
Leo
The spotlight is on you, your needs, and how you present yourself to others in
August, dear Leo. Your mind is focused on security, finances, and practical
matters. Matters of the heart touch you deeply, and could involve some personal
sacrifices. The 1-8 might feel chaotic, as relationship epiphanies, challenges,
and tests occur. It’s an emotional time, but also a period that leads to
important discoveries. A surge of personal magnetism and charm heads your way in
the last week of the month, when your ideas and conversational skills are in
demand.
Virgo
August is often a month of endings and some cocooning for you, dear Virgo, as
you instinctively need to assess what needs to go and what to carry forward into
your upcoming birthday year. However, this year, it’s likely to be more active
than usual. Friends are important, career goals and initiatives figure strongly,
and your urge to talk, project, and learn is strong. Epiphanies surrounding your
work or health are likely from the 1-8, when life could feel quite chaotic, but
you make a new plan around the 20th that pulls everything together.
Libra
While others are seeking you out this month, dear Libra, you are not especially
communicative when it comes to sharing personal matters, until after the 25th.
You are thinking things through and keeping your ideas and plans to yourself.
Still, your social calendar is busy. It’s a strong period for dreaming up new
plans, making presentations, and connecting with others. The 1-10 brings
epiphanies and fruitions with a romance, and perhaps some tests and trials.
Scorpio
Life isn’t especially private for you this summer, dear Scorpio, and August is
no exception. Home life requires special consideration from the 1-7, and again
on the 17-18, even if work seems more of a priority. You’ve been expanding your
personal circle and home life is sometimes chaotic. You’re filled with ideas
about your goals and the future. With regards to romance, you have a strong
desire for something different and perhaps a little exotic. Pay special
attention to advice from an older (or more experienced) friend on the 16-18.
Sagittarius
You are very busy thinking ahead of yourself in August, dear Sagittarius. Next
month is strong for career matters, and this month, you are hatching many plans
along those lines. Restlessness experienced from the 14-17 might prompt you to
consider making travel plans, or plans to broaden your intellectual
horizons—whatever it is, you feel the need to widen your experiences. Your
energy reserves receive a nice boost now, and you feel the need to take action.
Financial matters require special consideration on the 25-26. Romance is lively
yet deeply stirring in August.
Capricorn
Much is going on with partnerships, sharing, shared finances, and work this
month, dear Capricorn. August is strong for negotiating and ironing out
differences with a special someone in your life. Love matters are both demanding
and rewarding, particularly towards the last week of the month. Much of your
energy is poured into work, health routines, and reorganizing. Getting these
matters into order will help free your mind. Special attention to money, sources
of income, and personal possessions is required from the 2-10. Others turn to
you for solid advice on the 16-18.
Aquarius
The delicate balance between your needs for independence and your needs for
close personal relationships is a big issue for you in August, dear Aquarius.
Balancing can sometimes feel like a tug of war, but keeping alert to the heart
of the matter will give you perspective and ease the tension. From the 1-8,
aligning yourself with the image you have been projecting to others can be a
challenge. Consider the possibility that you may have misrepresented yourself if
others are misunderstanding you. Sorting out financial matters is easier and
more objective this month.
Pisces
Life might seem a little chaotic in August, dear Pisces, as you feel pulled in
many directions. However, if you take extra time for relaxation and reflection,
which the cosmos fairly forces you to do from the 1-8, you will find the energy
to balance it all. It might seem counterintuitive to take extra time for repose
when you’re in demand, but you’ll be far more effective if you do. Getting
organized and sorting out mundane affairs is necessary, while expressing your
creativity and romantic impulses are strong. A serious conversation with a
partner might figure around the 17th.
