Leo
If you feel a little tired or ‘stressed out’, a break from the pressures of life may be what’s required. Certain events both at home and work will come to a head around the middle of the month and, though you will deal with both, the aftermath leaves you looking for a way to re-boost your engines. A relationship with a relative is becoming strained and you should take time to patch matters up.
Virgo
An unfounded sense of overconfidence will backfire on you this month when you discover that a decision you had been counting on going your way, in fact turns against you. A consideration of where you stand and what you might now achieve in your long-term goals should be addressed. You may be best advised to cut your losses and try hard to begin a new chapter in your life.
Libra
Many of you could be going through a period of emotional torment at the moment but if you really want to solve the problem, you need to do a little self-analysis. The next few months are not going to be easy but you should not be afraid because the omens are good if you pursue this endeavour with commitment. Rewards are always sweeter when you’ve taken the road less travelled to reach them.
Scorpio
Judgement comes in many forms and is yet to be passed on whether your designs on a business venture will prove successful. Firstly, you should be careful to identify your friends and enemies, since all is not as it would appear. Additionally, you may discover that your initial plan will need some refining and it might be wise to bring in an expert.
Sagittarius
Travel is the number one feature of your reading this month and you will be contemplating a move overseas, probably in connection with work, although a family related matter might also have some bearing. If you are offered a role in a newly formed company, don’t ‘burn all your bridges behind you’ since there are no certainties a virgin venture will succeed. It makes sense to keep your options open.
Capricorn
This month will see temptation put in your way, probably with financial overtones and you must seriously consider your course of action. Giving in will see you become embroiled in a spiral that can only lead to further complications. If you get too deeply involved, there will be no turning back. Be wary of a salesman promising something that seems too good to be true because that means it probably is.
Aquarius
August looks like being the month when that purchase you’ve had your eye on finally becomes a reality via an unexpected route. It could be that a relative leaves you some money or an investment matures. Whatever the reason, you will soon find yourself going ‘shopping crazy’. That’s ok. You deserve it and you should park any guilt you might feel over this.
Pisces
Forces at work are conspiring against you to lead you into a confusing and unhappy period as far as your career is concerned. Matters touched upon in June have developed further and the tables are turning against you as the month progresses. If you are really going to turn this one around it will be through quick thinking and a well designed plan. Anything less and you could feel the blow of defeat.
Aries
You’ve got a lot to be happy about this month and that could be more to do with your own determination over a project than anyone else’s, so make sure you take the credit. You’ve been smart over the last few months, able to carve out a niche role that is now being recognised and appreciated by more than just those close to you. In between all that work make sure you are able to grab some rest and relaxation.
Taurus
Your final moment of triumph in a longstanding dispute is delivered in a fashion even you could not have imagined and you will soon be celebrating a satisfactory victory. A useful ally will make his or herself available to you at the start of the month and this person will go a long way to assisting you in sealing the lid on a period of your life you would rather forget. It won’t have always been an easy journey but it will certainly conclude the way you want it to.
Gemini
A secret concerning money will suddenly come out into the open this August and bring a measure of controversy into your life. You may discover that a friend who you thought could be trusted has spoken behind your back. If someone has lent you money and they did not want the gesture exposed, then you may find yourself falling out over the matter becoming common knowledge. You need to be shrewd and sensible or it won’t blow over.
Cancer
The collapse of a relationship sees you in a weakened emotional state this month and you will find yourself wishing that you could just close the door on the world and forget about everything. There is the possibility that you may even be considering moving house as a consequence of this break-up and a small place on the shores of the sea may be a favourite. Do whatever you need to and pack the fear away for another time or another subject.
