AUGUST 2008
Aries
This is a temperamental time for you. You are seriously annoyed about something. Your horns are lowered and you’re butting everyone in sight this month. (Aries is ram, right? Yeah, I’m sure Aries is the ram). Be careful not to butt, say, the boss. That would be bad. But you don’t need a clairvoyant to tell you that. Romance Or your partner: don’t head butt your partner. In fact, you may need to apologise for some of the things you’ve said recently. Go on. Be nice.
Taurus
With Juno moving through your sign you can expect a few ups and downs with the women in your life. It’s likely to be your mother – well, it usually is your mother providing the ups and downs, isn’t it. Be kind to her. Juno is influencing her unduly. Patience and a listening ear will get you further than slammed phones and references to arguments from last decade. Romance A happy month is ahead of you if you play your cards right.
Gemini
A pall is hanging over your sign this month. A malaise. A general feeling of wishing you were someone else for a change that is making everything look less rosy than usual. The only thing I can suggest is plenty of exercise and fresh fruit and vegetables. Or, if that has no appeal, let the month go by in a haze of alcohol and drugs. Romance Yuh. Well. The less said, the better, eh? Speaking of letting things go, there is plenty to be cleared away here. Good luck with that.
Cancer
La la laaaa! It’s been a fairly dreadful couple of months for you but at last the misery is beginning to clear. Enjoy this period. The moon is rising in your sign and with it all your hopes for a brighter future. These hopes are not misplaced. It’s all systems go for Cancer and about bleedin’ time. Romance Don’t be fooled by charm. You have found someone interesting but be careful that the substance matches the surface. Sweet words are all very well – it’s action that counts.
Leo
Speaking of lions – isn’t it time you got that mane cut off? It’s not 1972, you know. Your hair is a symbol of something deeper going on with you right now. Everything’s just a little bit out of control. You need to get on top of nearly every area of your life. Start with a haircut, then move on to a spring clean. It will do you the world of good. Romance I’m afraid bigamy is still a crime except in some far-sighted states in the USA. You’ll just have to make your mind up which one you want.
Virgo
Virgoans are going to be troubled by the Sun’s activities this month. There’s a big ego rollercoaster coming your way. The charts seem to be suggesting that you should let your ego have free rein but frankly I think that’s pretty dodgy advice. That could get you into trouble. I’d play it safe and let your ego go crazy in the privacy of your own home. Create some art. Something. Romance A meeting with a stranger will lead you down an interesting path. The love of your life can’t be far away.
Libra
A dispute with a family member has been getting out of hand. You will need all your tact to resolve things. But it’s going to have to be you who gets down off your high horse first – your relative is just too stubborn and pig-headed to see that you are right. Get yourself a healthy feeling of self-righteous superiority. It will help to buoy you up when you have to tell them, through gritted teeth, that you are sorry. Romance Your partner needs some TLC. Put your own needs aside for a little while.
Scorpio
Scorpions can expect a calm August. A smooth Venutian path is wending its way through your sign which is excellent news on the home front. It’s all plain sailing this month. So. Not much else to tell you, really. That’s the trouble with quiet months. Still. No news is good news, eh? Romance. Yes, well as I said Venus is shining down on you this month so I expect you’ll be having a great deal of fun in this department. All in all, you’re not going to want August to end, are you.
Sagittarius
A chance encounter with someone from a past life (not a literal past life, though) will make you sit up and take notice. You have fallen into something of a rut lately and this meeting will shake things up. And not before time. You were starting to live in a half-world, going through your days barely awake. Romance Someone you’ve had your eye on has had their eye on you. Now you just have to figure out how to get things going.
Capricorn
A positive aspect to Pluto will bring lots of energy bubbling up from inside you this month. Use that surplus energy to get on top of some projects you’ve let go. You know the ones I mean! You’ve got a garage full of unfinished business. Pluto isn’t going to hang around forever so strike while the iron is hot. Romance You and your partner have had a few ups and downs lately but you will reach a new plateau of understanding if you put the effort in. Kind words will get you further than sour ones. Well, der.
Aquarius
A bizarre occurrence at work will have you wondering if you’re the only sane one there. You seem to be the only one who sees anything odd about this incident. Keep it to yourself. If you try to make others see things the way you do, you’ll just create enemies. Work is difficult enough without those. Romance A dream will point the way in a matter that has been puzzling you. In this dream you will be represented by the sea, as is appropriate to your sign. Follow the fish.
Pisces
Something you lost a long time ago will suddenly re-appear in your life with dramatic consequences. It might be rather better if you try to pretend nothing has happened. Sometimes if you just don’t discuss something, it all goes away. It’s called the coward’s way out and I highly recommend it, used judiciously. Romance A raging torrent is headed your way. It may take the form of a completely unexpected one night stand, or it may be an affair. Whatever, the flame won’t burn for long. Lucky thing.
