Your Horoscope for August 2009

Aries (3/21 – 4/20)

Around August 3rd you may enjoy a career transition. If this change is not what you hoped for, take heart Aries! This is sure to move on to bigger and better things as you progress, around the time Saturn moves into Libra in the late fall months. In the meantime a new project may begin to take up your time between the 17th and 22nd. Don’t worry! You’ll still have plenty of time for some summer fun at month’s end.

Taurus (4/21-5/21)

Recreational activities and romance are on the August agenda, Taurus, so expect someone special to take you on an adventure that you’ll never forget. Journey into the great outdoors around the 13th. On the 25th you’ll truly enjoy your time with loved ones. Share photos and stories about your personal experiences. Get ready for an ocean adventure and days on the beach at month’s end.

Gemini (5/21-6/20)

You could want to spend some money as August opens, but your partner says "No!" Try to reach a compromise. You may feel a bit restless so plan to get away for a few days and spend some time outdoors. Around the 25th you may be caught off guard with some unexpected expenses. You may have to cut back on some elaborate plans. However, you’re sure to have an adventure of a lifetime around the 26th.

Cancer (6/21-7/22)

Around the 2nd you may think about calling a sibling or a cousin you have not shared with in awhile. A family reunion is in store, and you may be asked to either host or arrange it. Your organizational skills will certainly come in handy. Expect a positive response to any invitations you extend around the 26th. After the 28th enjoy playing tennis, taking a swim or hike in the great outdoors.

Leo (7/23-8/22)

You may begin to earn some money for your writing after the 3rd. Research a new business venture that will bring in some new income. On the 13th you will feel the energy needed for you to get the ball rolling. Around the 22nd you can expect some positive news about your finances. Celebrate and buy yourself a frivolous but inexpensive accessory. After the 25th through month’s end you may tire easily, so take those vitamins and get some extra rest.

Virgo (8/23-9/22)

Don’t sell yourself short on making a lasting impression on a perspective employer or on your current one. Don’t hesitate to ask for what you’re worth. Your savvy business sense will guide you on the 17th and 22nd. Celebrate with close pals on the 25th. You may get an extra financial boost from the universe that same day! Buy a spiffy new fall outfit on the 28th as you prepare for the fall months ahead. Wear it on your next job interview or when you are asking for that raise.

Libra (9/23-10/22)

A lot of what you plan, do and accomplish this month will be in the form of prep work for a later date. Libras usually like to be in the spotlight, but now you can learn a great deal by working behind the scenes. Things ease up after the 19th. Now, at last, you have a chance to be both assertive and dynamic and someone is definitely watching you and applauding it. In the very near future you could be given the opportunity for more responsibility on the job. Bottom line, August is a positive month for you.

Scorpio (10/23-11/22)

Put your thinking cap on the 2nd because your mental activity will be at a peak, and a friend will be grateful for your sound advice. On the 17th you may find the incentive needed to study an unusual subject. Around the 22nd your political and social activism will introduce you to some like minded people. Try to fit meetings into your busy schedule. On the 25th you may become more active in an altruistic cause.

Sagittarius  (11/23-12/21)

August brings a pleasant change at work, with some new help or an easier assignment. Expect some uplifting news from a partner around the 13th. You may disagree with your partner as how to spend some funds, but take the time to listen to their thoughts before giving an opinion. You feel solid and comfortable at work after the 22nd. With such a focus on your work, don’t forget to take some time out for fun. Get together with friends you haven’t seen in a while and enjoy!

Capricorn  (12/22-1/19)

August is a good time to get away from it all with a great vacation. The harmonious partnership vibes from last month may fray a bit as August progresses. This doesn’t mean all out war, but there will be some strain and conflict with relationships, especially after the 25th. If you’re taking a trip with your intended or spouse, be careful about what you say and do.

Aquarius (1/20-2/18)

You’ll go from fun and play into just plain work, work, work after the 2nd. If you managed to set up some kind of a financial agreement last month, then you may be working on some of the details now. On the other hand, you may find yourself dealing with an imperious banker who wants to see all the facts and figures on something you may have done weeks, months or perhaps even years ago. Now, if you can just find that shoebox where you put all the paperwork in, you’ll be just fine, won’t you?

Pisces (2/19-3/20)

There is a natural slow-down in the high profile area of your life this month, Pisces. That makes this an ideal month to take an extended vacation. After the 10th you’re in the mood to take your intended on an incredibly romantic encounter. Money matters are at the top of your list of priorities around the 19th. During the next several weeks, a business opportunity that comes your way could turn out to be very fortunate.
