HOROSCOPE
LEO
JULY 24–AUGUST 23
Some will be keen to try their luck outside their usual arena. If you spot minor problems, you mustn’t spread gloom that flags everybody’s spirits. You have a tendency to be over-cautious, especially with people you care for.
Motto of the month: If you don’t find life worth living, you must make it so.
VIRGO
AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23
Be ready to stand back and leave others to experience change without you by their side. True, it’s important to offer your opinion when asked, but there’s a danger that you’ll dominate during an important decision-making process.
Motto of the month: If you think crooked, you can’t walk straight.
LIBRA
SEPTEMBER 24–OCTOBER 23
A powerful tie-up between Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune informs you how to achieve what you want. Those trying to galvanise you into action won’t realise that you know what to do, and how and when to do it. Be polite when asking to be left on your own.
Motto of the month: When it comes to giving, some people stop at nothing.
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 22
Information that you need to share with others has to be handled in an unambiguous way. You certainly mustn’t leave people feeling that they’re being excluded. Unless you’re totally transparent, you’ll generate the kind of over-sensitivity that wreaks havoc.
Motto of the month: Everyone dies but not
everyone lives.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23–DECEMBER 21
Having confided a domestic, work, or financial issue to one or two people, you cannot exclude them from developments. You’re dealing with the kind of individuals who genuinely want to show their support.
Motto of the month: Life’s not about having more, but knowing more.
CANCER
JUN 22-JUL 23
It’s kind of you to try to treat certain others to a taste of the good life, but you mustn’t feel downhearted if your suggestions are rejected. A Saturn-Jupiter
link is reminding you that people must be allowed to go at their own pace, without feeling patronised by well-meaning
individuals like yourself.
MOTTO OF THE
MONTH: Why try to fit in? You were born to stand out.
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 20
Although loved ones will want to rush headlong at their latest scheme, you’ll be mindful of the risks. As you suggest an alternative plan, you’ll at first feel extremely unpopular. But you must give people time.
Motto of the month: To reach great heights, you must have great depth.
AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21–FEBRUARY 19
Achievements will be on your mind at a time when others aren’t doing nearly as well as you. But are you meant to hold yourself back for fear of upsetting those who have done very little while you’ve been forging ahead?
Motto of the month: Worry doesn’t help tomorrow’s troubles, but it does ruin today’s happiness.
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20–MARCH 20
Those coming up with ambitious ideas that have no practical underpinning will unnerve you. You’ll realise this is a chance to teach them something worthwhile. Your real challenge is to act in a way that’s not seen as arrogant.
Motto of the month: The rise and fall of a nation rests with every one of its citizens.
ARIES
MARCH 21–APRIL 20
Loved ones and friends would like you to be more adventurous. So be open to their ideas, especially after Mercury concludes its latest retrograde phase on July 20. You’ll find the restrictions far too suffocating.
Motto of the month: The great have willpower, the feeble only wishes.
TAURUS
APRIL 21–MAY 21
Accept help and guidance, even though a part of you would prefer to work singlehandedly. Huge gains can be made on a relational level as well as in practical terms, by pooling your resources with those of certain others.
Motto of the month: You run out of chances is when you stop taking them.
GEMINI
MAY 22–JUNE 21
Seize any opportunity to be noticed by VIPs or earn extra money. True, some extravagant ideas will be put forward, but you’ll know instinctively what can or cannot be made to work.
Motto of the month: Experience teaches us to make new mistakes, not old ones.
VIRGO
AUGUST 24–SEPTEMBER 23
Don’t panic if you’ve been deprived of information regarding ventures involving someone you trust. In early August, a SunUranus link will give a boost to your sixth sense so that you’ll intuit almost everything you need to know.
Motto of the month: Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul.
LIBRA
SEPTEMBER 24–OCTOBER 23
Though you may feel obliged to display your leadership skills in the outside world, there’s no need to dominate within the home or family. If you’ve had to develop a brittle shell to survive tough territory, it needn’t be a permanent feature.
Motto of the month: Power may last 10 years, but influence lasts a 100.
SCORPIO
OCTOBER 24–NOVEMBER 22
The way in which you’re perceived by others might seem important, but it cannot rule your life. From mid-August, yield to a desire to be your true self and not play a role that makes you appear worldly. Those insisting you have a light touch are right.
Motto of the month: We teach others how
to treat us.
SAGITTARIUS
NOVEMBER 23–DECEMBER 21
Although you’ll assume relevant data is shared between yourself and whoever else is involved, you’ll find around August 7 that you’ve been kept out of the loop. You’ll be far more powerful if you make your point politely and then start over.
Motto of the month: What we treasure most
is in our hearts.
CAPRICORN
DECEMBER 22–JANUARY 20
Make significant financial or work-related moves with conviction. And refuse to let others involved procrastinate. You’ll soon need to prove to yourself and others that your affairs are in good order.
Motto of the month: Life is change, growth is optional. Choose well.
leo
JULY 24-AUGUST 23
Developments in your private or professional life needn’t unnerve you. Don’t forget that someone special should be kept informed of your plans, especially if they involve relocation or change of schedule. Money
must not be used as an excuse to behave in a way that seems disrespectful.
MOTTO OF THE MONTH: Those who teach must never cease to learn.
AQUARIUS
JANUARY 21–FEBRUARY 19
Friends may not grasp the importance of your latest work, but by August 21, you’ll persuade everyone that you know what you’re talking about. Those refusing to join in must surrender their right to the profits.
Motto of the month: Speak well of your enemies. You made them.
PISCES
FEBRUARY 20–MARCH 20
Without becoming overburdened, you will have to face responsibilities. But they’ll be quickly dealt with. They shouldn’t prevent you from also celebrating positive developments. Refuse to let your sense of duty rob your precious moments.
Motto of the month: Few people listen, until
you get it wrong.
ARIES
MARCH 21–APRIL 20
No matter how hard you try to ignore circumstances, you can’t abrogate responsibilities. Make your contribution and you’ll be proud of what you’re doing. You’ll strengthen bonds with whoever else is involved.
Motto of the month: Experience tests first and gives the lesson afterwards.
TAURUS
APRIL 21–MAY 21
Be patient, as others keep you waiting for the outcome of an important deal. By the time of the full moon on August 21, you should at least know what’s likely to happen next. Almost certainly you’ll have made a far better impression than you think.
Motto of the month: No lock has been made
without a key.
GEMINI
MAY 22–JUNE 21
Arguments about money will continue. You’ll also realise that you’ve a great deal of influence in a set-up that has lacked leadership. By showing you’re willing to step into a fairly responsible role, you could quickly make some significant changes.
Motto of the month: To achieve something great you need a plan, not quite time.
CANCER
JUNE 22–JULY 23
Deals struck early in August should reach completion. Don’t let anyone rush you into making decisions. No matter how keen you are to benefit from signing on the dotted line, it’s essential you know every detail.
Motto of the month: Let your dreams, not your worries, be your driver.
