The following are short overview
horoscopes for an upcoming month, written by Annie Heese for Essential
Magazine. For our detailed August monthly horoscopes, see

August 1.
Aries
Relationships are dynamic this month, dear Aries. The need for structure in a
partnership becomes clear, especially around the 8th. The 9th brings exciting
new energy for romance and creativity. Take advantage! Avoid shortcuts on the
job, especially from the 20th, or you will definitely need to redo your work.
Attraction to older or more mature partners is possible this month, as you
reassess your relationship needs. Problems that have existed in a partnership
come to light and need immediate attention. Partnerships can be on the
competitive side, but you are likely to appreciate that matters are out in the
open so that they can more easily find resolution. Career matters can be
competitive as well, and you might feel a little stressed that you don't have
enough energy to tend to domestic concerns. A past love may step forward around
the 20th, but save decision making for later. A secret is revealed or something
hidden comes to light around the 24th.
Taurus
Much of your attention is directed towards daily activities including work,
fitness, and other routine matters this month, dear Taurus. There can be
competitive energies on the job, but also opportunities to truly smooth over
differences. Love opportunities could arise through work or even at the gym
around the 20th, but there may be a reason for your hesitancy. Enjoy yourself,
but save major decisions for later. While love matters are generally strong in
August, they are likely to give pause for review at a later date. From the 20th,
a lover could be giving off mixed signals, or a romance could appear to be at a
standstill. In fact, it's a good time to release any pressure you might have on
your love life and step back to take a breather. Reassess matters and avoid a
hectic pace. Home and family are also vying for your attention in August, and
you happily tend to them, although work keeps you especially busy.
Gemini
A love affair could become serious this month, dear Gemini. Perhaps there are
ultimatums or the need to bring more definition to your
love life. For some of you, children could do with improved schedules and
discipline. Once that's settled, you can especially enjoy spending time
together. A creative project suddenly demands attention this month. You may be
thinking of ways to make a business out of a hobby or creative pastime. August
should be a highly creative, romantic, and playful month overall. The 20th could
bring excitement in love, but also some hesitancy on your part. Your ruler,
Mercury, turns retrograde at the same time, and you require more time to think
things through than usual. Some problems on the home front need ironing out from
the 20th forward. Domestic projects that you haven't tended to diligently could
begin to show flaws. Exciting career matters come to light on the 24th.
Cancer
 This
is an especially lively month for home and family, dear Cancer. Competitive
energies on the domestic scene are likely. Responsibilities come to light, and
the need for reorganization as well as increased structure to your household
becomes apparent. Happily, you are in the mood for straightening out matters on
the home front, and it feels good to have the energy to pay more attention to
this important area of your life. Family interactions can certainly benefit from
more clarity. Job or status changes continue to loom, but a sense of peace this
month gives you a breather. Some of you are taking work home with you, where you
feel a little more comfortable. August 9th could bring financial opportunities.
Circumstances are such that you need to take charge of money matters now. August
is certainly a good month for creating a budget. Get your paperwork sorted out
before the 20th, after which any corner-cutting you've taken may turn out to add
rather than save time.
Leo
Making contact and getting in touch with others, learning, and teaching are all
especially important matters to you this month, dear Leo. You're more
communicative than usual, enjoying sharing your ideas and catching up with
friends. You are interested in improving your skills and expanding your mind.
Contact with others can help jumpstart your creativity this month. Some of you
could meet a new love interest while taking part in classes, group discussions,
communicating online, and other forms of networking. Money requires extra
attention from the 20th. Avoid taking shortcuts with your finances after this
date. Go over everything carefully before making large purchases and other
important financial decisions. Waiting for a later date might be best, because
you could find that the urge to splurge passes. The 9th brings fresh energy and
a go-ahead for personal projects. It's your New Moon, and it's time to bring on
a whole new and fresh attitude. Others are taking note, not only of your sunny
personality, but particularly of your ideas.
Virgo
August is a strong period for reviewing the past year and aiming to put the past
behind you, dear Virgo. It's not the time for major decision making or goal
setting, but good for ridding yourself of problems that have been weighing you
down. Pay attention to your intuition and even your dreams. Next month, you can
make a new start. Financial matters are of concern in August, but money is
coming in and going out in perhaps equal quantity. As such, although there are
ups and downs, you end the month on even ground. You're able to come up with
some especially creative money-making ideas this month. While it's not the right
time to throw yourself into a new project, you might want to formulate initial
plans. From the 20th and until September 12th, your ruler, Mercury, is
retrograde. This points to a period of natural withdrawal on some level. It's a
good time to take in rather than push forward with new plans. The 24th brings a
partnership matter to light. Pay special attention to what a partner or close
friend has to say.
Libra
August is a month of much social activity for you, dear Libra. You are
especially charming and a partner is absolutely in your corner. The 20th brings
particularly good energy for love. Although there is a competitive feel to your
relationships, this only serves to energize you and to keep love stimulating.
New responsibilities are coming to light and you are ready to take charge. In
fact, you are especially assertive this month, but at the same time, blessed
with the ability to go after what you want without ruffling anyone's feathers.
You have just the right combination of natural charm and confidence this month
that others can't help but take notice. While the month promises to be
pleasurable in many ways, Saturn is solidly back in your sign, reminding you of
your responsibilities and the need to structure your life. Do whatever you can
to straighten out your life and discipline yourself. Avoiding responsibilities
and cutting corners will not serve you well. Work or health matters that have
been brewing come to light around the 24th.
Scorpio
While career matters are very busy and dynamic this month, dear Scorpio, your
personal life is also rich. A private romance is possible, or an awakening of
feelings about a past relationship occurs this month. Perhaps you become aware
of a past responsibility that you now want to fulfill. You are taking charge on
the job, and while changes in duties and responsibilities are still looming, you
are feeling good about your position. Work is competitive, but you might find
that it's more stimulating this way and pushing you to work more creatively.
Power games are no fun, however, and these should be avoided as much as
possible. Be especially mindful of your communications with friends and groups
this month, as something said (or not said) could come back to haunt you after
the 20th. From the 23rd forward, there is more focus on your social life and
less on responsibilities and work. The 24th brings great creative energy, as
well as the possibility of a blooming romance.
Sagittarius
Competitive energies with associates and friends are likely in August, dear
Sagittarius. These can be pleasant or disconcerting, sometimes both at once, but
certainly stimulating. Friends are likely to turn to you for advice, and you
could easily find yourself in the middle! Some of you might begin a new love
relationship through a friend or networking efforts. Financial matters,
particularly money earned from business, can be tense for the time being,
although changes taking place now are likely to bring you to a much better place
at a later date. Until the 23rd, you are feeling especially adventurous and
philosophical. An energy boost has you thinking of breaking the routine and
expanding your experiences. You're in a mostly cheerful mood and it's easy to
find like-minded people to share it with. From the 23rd, career matters and
responsibilities come into focus. If you've cut any corners in work projects
recently, these will probably come back for review and redoing. The 24th can
bring family and home matters to your attention.
Capricorn
With all of the attention you are pouring into career, family, and personal
matters, dear Capricorn, you could feel that a partnership is wanting. However,
while you can't ignore your close relationships, your attention to career is
especially important right now. New responsibilities and challenges come your
way and you need to be on top of your game. Luckily, you are enjoying the
limelight and finding that others are seeing you in a most positive,
responsible, and competent light. The need to discipline yourself and structure
your time on a professional level becomes apparent. Some of you could meet a
love interest through business this month. Travel and educational plans might
change unexpectedly after the 20th. Pay attention to details instead of rushing
through instructions, applications, and other plans. In some cases, rethinking
your plans might be in order. A flurry of activity around the 24th is likely,
which could find you running around on errands. Try not to stress out and
instead get everything back to order one step at a time.
Aquarius
It's not the strongest month for decision making, dear Aquarius. You might be
leaving it up to a partner or good friend to take the lead for the time being.
It's a time for rethinking and reviewing rather than moving forward with new
plans and initiatives. Letting others take the spotlight seems to be your best
bet. Your ruler, Uranus, is retrograding back into Pisces this month, and while
symbolically this might point to a feeling of backtracking, it's more likely
that you are looking back for the time being, rather than pushing forward.
Exciting changes are on the horizon, and this is a good period for tidying up
and getting in touch with what you truly want from your life. However, your
personal magnetism is strong this month and others are very cooperative. If
you're interested, you'll find that it's easy to attract others to you,
particularly with your unique opinions and personal philosophy. The urge to
expand your mind through education or possibly travel is strong, and
opportunities to do so seem to be falling into your lap now. Finances require
special handling in the last week of the month.
Pisces
For most of August, dear Pisces, the focus seems to be on
other important people in your life. Your work assumes more importance and keeps
you busy. The 9th brings excellent energy for starting fresh on the job. Whether
it's about added responsibilities, a promotion, or simply a new take-charge
attitude, now is the time to prove your worth. Financial matters can be a little
stressful this month. Some of you could be feeling a pinch, particularly with a
partner's income or other non-income sources of money. There may be some power
plays to deal with, especially around the 3rd, 16th, and 21st. Your passions run
high, particularly around the 20th, when many of you enjoy a profound connection
and deepening of ties with a special someone. After this date, some reticence in
a partner could leave you feeling a little confused. A Full Moon in your sign
occurs on the 24th, and emotions run high. A personal revelation can
occur--something that has been brewing for some time and that finds expression
now.
