Aries (March 21-April 19): Life might seem like a tossed salad with unexpected ingredients. A crucial issue could surprise you, because the harder you search for an answer the more complicated it gets.
Taurus (April 20-May 20): Value steadfastness and sensibility without stifling spontaneity. Friends or companions may react in unpredictable ways if you go to extremes. Guard against making casual promises.
Gemini (May 21-June 20): Extend the equilibrium of your expenditures. It might satisfy your soul to make grand, generous gestures or to smother someone in kindness, but eventually the bills will pour in.
Cancer (June 21-July 22): Conducting “business as usual” may require more time and effort than usual. You may feel coerced or compromised. Earn more respect, as well as more money, by focusing efforts on only the finest products.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22): Money doesn’t grow on trees, so don’t go out on a limb with a fashion craze. Don’t splurge on passing fancies that won’t serve your needs in the future. Focus on your job or business and get something accomplished.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Don’t accept any wooden nickels. The nagging voice that urges you to make a big purchase, borrow funds, or take a chance may be your own worst enemy. Hold off on making major purchases or financial decisions.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Your social calendar may be on steroids. Pair up with a congenial partner who will keep you company no matter what activity is on the agenda. You won’t be happy if you have to work or travel all by yourself.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): You might be more concerned about style than content. Exciting conversations and an array of stimulating ideas might tempt you to overspend in order to keep up with others.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Enthusiasms can be stoked without going broke. Your craving for romance, recreation, and the better things in life shouldn’t blind you to sensible budget strategies.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): There is a faction that enjoys distractions. Your social plans could suddenly become more exciting due to an unexpected phone call. Your dedication to a project or a work-related issue could enjoy a reprieve.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Remain calm when you encounter something unexpected. Keep an open mind as every changing opinion is not etched in stone. People in your local circle may make scandalous statements that amuse and delight you.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20): Giving tit for tat is where it’s at. In skillful negotiation, you must offer something that will benefit both parties. You will receive respect in intimate relationships as well as business circles if you strive to be fair.
if August 15 is your birthday: During the next four to five weeks, your high energy levels require suitable and constructive outlets. This could be a good time to begin an exercise regimen or to take up a competitive sport. Ambitions may grow in September and October when you are willing to work harder than usual to demonstrate your efficiency and steadfast attention to duty. Your prayers may be answered in November when a worthwhile opportunity could come your way. Take advantage of any help that is offered and pay attention to advice as it may lead to a more prosperous future. Lay low in February and March when your judgment is slightly out of kilter and you may make costly financial mistakes.
