Your Star Predictions for August 2010   

Aries
Feeling a bit out of sorts, are we? Yep, your ruler, Mars, has entered your opposite sign, Libra, causing you to NOT rush headlong into uncharted territory. This is also augmented by the Mars-Saturn conjunction, slowing you down. It could even stop you in your tracks! August is for weighing up all your options before you come to a conclusion and spring into action. Yes, very UN-Aries, but a refreshing change, no? You are focussing your mental energy on the key relationships in your life. It is time to consider very carefully what your significant other(s) need from you. If you don’t know for sure, then find out. But if you ask the question, then you must be prepared to listen to the answer. If you don’t, some changes that you have no control over, will be on the cards. Those born at the beginning of Aries, are still riding the wave of the lucky period.

Taurus
Just as well you are feeling conscientious, as it looks like you are in a good position to receive money from other people! Now don’t go and spend it all at once! They might just give it to you for safe keeping. Explore investing. It will stand you in good stead. Expect the unexpected around the 7th, when anything can happen, so don’t be caught asleep at the wheel. Now is not a time to dig in those hooves, or stick your head in the sand. In order to ride this uncertain wave, you have to be flexible and be able to react at a moment’s notice. The latter half of the month is more to your taste and you can relax a little. But just a little, as Venus and Mars conjoin in the sky on the 19th, creating lots of passion for you to enjoy! Yup, the celestial lovers are at it again, and you might as well join in the fun! Create a bit of romance and have some fun! Find out which areas of your own life will be affected by the Saturn-Uranus-opposition, by booking a personal astrological consultation.

Gemini
You are on a ferocious drive to expand your horizons at the moment. You want to know everything there is to know, and you want to know it, like, yesterday! Yes, curiosity is one of your key characteristics, but normally you skim the surface of the subject and move on. This means you sacrifice depth for breadth, not going deep enough to really have an intimate knowledge of the subject. If you make that mistake this month, you will have wasted your time, not being able to practically apply the knowledge you obtained. Your mind is in an investigative mood, so turn over a few rocks and see what is hiding underneath. On the 20th your ruler, Mercury, goes into retrograde motion, bringing with it, all his usual tricks- anything, including technology, that has to do with transport, or communication, goes haywire…you have been warned!

Cancer
Your focus is on your career this month. What’s potting there? Are you still happy there? Those Cancerians born at the beginning of Cancer might feel that they are at the mercy of things and circumstances outside their control. It is time to accept what is happening and do the best with what you have. On the 7th your instincts are dead on target about an issue at work, but it is not time for action yet. Leave that for the 10th, when the New Moon in Leo will usher in a more creative solution with a good potential for expansion. The Full Moon on the 24th is in Aquarius, making it a day of inspiration. Let your imagination run wild and see what awesome inventions you can come up with. On the same day the moon also conjoins Neptune, the planet of dreams and psychic intuition. So if you are working on an issue or a goal, focus your mind on it before you go to sleep. You are bound to wake up with the solution!

Leo
Yay! It’s fun-and-friends-month! Now that the loose tigers in Africa have been locked up, it’s time for the local lions to go wild! There is very little to worry about this month. It’s all going splendidly and nothing is rocking your boat, except for maybe what to wear to your party, or what to serve for dinner. Catch up with the friends you have been neglecting, they need to feel your warm sunshine in their lives! Around the 20th there could be a slight wobbly, as you are wondering about which direction to take. Questions of how to best use your creativity also arise. If you engage your creativity, it’s best to stay grounded and practical, resisting the urge to escape and not come back. When the sun enters Virgo on the 23rd, you will feel more grounded and able to be of practical use to those around you.

Virgo
Looks like a busy busy month ahead for you! Romance is in the air in the first week. Your mental faculties are sharp this month and there is very little that will escape your attention. You are on top form and your imagination is in 5th gear. There are tonnes of ideas that you want to try out and you don’t know which ones to test out first. And of course you would want to communicate these! So I guess your phone bill will be a bit higher this month…Better say all the important things you want to say and write before the 20th, as your ruler, Mercury, goes retrograde then. For this reason, communication in the rest of the month could be strained, misunderstood, not delivered etc. It’s not a good time to sign contracts. If you have to, triple check them. Things to do with transport and technology also tend to play up. So service your machines before then!

Libra
It probably feels like driving with the handbrake on in the beginning of the month. You just want to go full throttle and there are things holding you back and it frustrates the living daylights out of you! Around the 7th you might find that the hold-ups you’ve been experiencing actually served you in a strange roundabout way. On the 8th you can choose between stability or chaos. But it could be boring stability or divine chaos. You choose. We have your ruler, Venus, spending her time in Libra for the whole of this month, bringing with her cultured and social activities, not forgetting what she is best known for: love! On the 19th we have Venus marrying her male counterpart, Mars, in the sky, producing blazing fires of passion!

Scorpio
Find the truth and the money will set you free…or was it, find the money and the truth can be bought cheaply? Or something like that. The Beatles were right: Money can’t buy you love. You will be quite generous this month, spending money on things and people that you value. In the beginning of the month there are things that hamper progress, you soon move past them. There is an uncharacteristic light heartedness about you that will attract people to you this month, more than usual. You will feel the urge to crawl out of your shell of safety and go and play with your mates and make merry. Money can be made in partnerships this month, so go and be social, it might turn out to be lucrative too! On the 19th Venus, goddess of beauty and love, conjoins your ruler, Mars, in the sky.

Sagittarius
I hope the world is ready and willing to hear your story, because whether they like it or not, you are telling your story to all that will listen this month. Try to not to be too forceful, lest people find you too pushy and simply ignore you. Your enthusiasm is wonderful, but you must spend a minute to check what your audience is feeling and thinking. If you don’t, you’ll waste your energy and won’t win anyone over. Check people’s non-verbal communication when you talk to them and listen with your whole body when they speak. You could face strong opposition from people in power or struggle with circumstances beyond your control in the latter half of the month. This too shall pass. Do what you can within the current limitations. Find out which areas of your own life will be affected by the Saturn-Uranus-opposition, by booking a personal astrological consultation.

Capricorn
Does it feel as if you family wants to control you at the moment? Do you feel torn between your sense of duty and your need for personal freedom? Your sense of what is right will show you the way. Significant partners will also serve as great sounding boards, so that you gain perspective on your current situation. If any situation calls for it, it might be wise to get a legal opinion. Add that to the pot of opinions and you will soon arrive at your own conclusion. But be careful not to be bullied into a corner by somebody you think has more power than you. On the 8th we add a dash of romance and light heartedness into your oh-so-serious and responsible life. Have fun and enjoy a little wining and dining.

Looks like you are working very hard this month. Well, you’re supposed to. If you apply a bit of discipline, you will achieve a lot. You will achieve even more if you rope in a partner. And then it won’t feel like work. More like a social occasion, because you can do one of your favourite things- chat! Around the 8th romance is in the air and you don’t have to go far to find it. Somebody foreign could pique your interest. Around the 17th you are dealing with a situation that you feel you can’t change, as it is beyond your control.

Some of your energy will be spent on your relationships with significant others. You feel a need for personal freedom from circumstances that bind you, but you realise that breaking free will have its consequences too.
