OSCAR CAINER

Aries Mar21-Apr20

Although you have many potential routes to choose between, most of these won’t take you to where you want to be. They only look appealing because you’re making your way along an obstacle strewn path. No wonder you’re thinking about a past decision with a sense of regret. Yet you always knew this journey would bring challenges, and a diversion will just distract you from your ultimate goal. August brings a chance to renew your commitment. Significant gains are both possible and probable. You can change your life this August.

Taurus Apr21- May21

Since money doesn’t keep our planet spinning around, neither is it going to bring it crashing to a halt. Although it’s tempting to make it the villain of the piece, it’s our love of it, not the thing itself, that causes problems. This month, rather than looking for something to blame, you’d be much better off focusing on all the amazing things people are doing. Although your material situation isn’t guaranteed to improve in August, with the right attitude, you’ll become spiritually and emotionally enriched. August is due to be amazing.

Gemini May22-Jun22

We all enjoy tucking up on the sofa to watch a good drama. We identify with the characters and relate to their problems so effortlessly that we find ourselves glued to the TV. It’s not so easy when we have intense issues to deal with in our own lives. Starring in our own soap opera is a different story altogether. When someone you care about faces a challenge this month, you’re tempted to jump in to help. Although this implicates you in a dramatic situation, events throughout August ensure a happy ending. There’s great news in your August prediction.

Cancer Jun23-Jul23

You have a highly prized skill: an ability to make a little money stretch further than most other people. Yet you can also spend it fast too. It’s a good balance. After all, if we don’t need something, why should life give it to us? Over August, the cosmos brings the chance to create the right environment to improve your financial situation. As long as you have faith in your ability to create positive change in your world, with Venus in your sign, there’s a strong likelihood that it will manifest. August begins with a powerful full moon. Be inspired.

Leo Jul24-Aug23

The start of August finds you on the front line, in the midst of the action. The responsibilities resting on your shoulders are adding to the challenges you face. Well... that’s how it feels. Could the cosmic forces have erroneously placed you in charge of so many different people and situations? Even though you’re a confident Leo, the tasks ahead seem daunting. Fortunately, August brings much appreciated assistance your way. If you add your power to someone else’s, the benefits will touch many lives.

Virgo Aug24-Sep23

Children know what they want when they’re tiny, but they don’t know what they need. Although we grow wiser as we grow older, we tend to ignore the fact that we suffer from the same traits, even when we’ve grown up. We weave complex, intricate excuses to justify debatable decisions, and struggle to identify our self-pretences. There’s no guarantee that August will bring you what you really want, but you might find that you don’t need it. And that might make you feel very good indeed. Transform you life in August.

Libra Sep24- Oct23

How will we recognise heaven when we get there? Will it resemble a slick TV ad; sunshine, pina coladas, and hammocks to swing on as we watch the sun setting over an azure ocean? Does everyone have an ultra-bright smile and perfect hair? Will you be able to afford anything and everything you desire? Come to think of it, how will we know that we’re not in hell? Watch out for easilyjumped-to conclusions this month. As long as you look below the superficial, you’ll get heavenly results. You can change your life this August.

Scorpio Oct24- Nov22

The full moon at the start of August is a sign of hopefulness. It’s time to have more faith in your future, which is preparing to welcome you with open arms, and to have more confidence in who you are and where you’re going. If there’s an issue that causes you to doubt yourself this month, reevaluate its importance in your life. There’s a chance that you’re still holding onto parts of your past that are no longer relevant. Focus on your vision of what “could” be possible and you’ll embrace the future you deserve. August is due to be amazing.

Sagittarius Nov23- Dec21

You can’t move a mountain with willpower alone. You need to have a strategy. And, unless you’ve got all the time in the world, some support wouldn’t go amiss either. The process you’re engaged with requires team effort. Fortunately, when you find yourself out of your depth, you won’t have to look far to find people with the skills you need who are ready and able to assist you. They appreciate your vision, and they share your enthusiasm too. Transformation is possible this month. There’s great news in your August prediction.

Capricorn Dec22-Jan20

If you’d like life to be filled with serendipitous moments, picture yourself fishing in the river of good fortune. Every time you make a catch, you win a prize. Even a piece of junk from the bottom of the riverbed will have its uses. Either someone will need it, or you’ll be able to transform it, or it might contain hidden treasures. If you’re not sure how you’re going to be able to identify this particularly abundant river from a normal one, just activate your most positive expectations. They’ll take you there. August begins with a powerful full moon. Be inspired.

Aquarius Jan21- Feb19

Is the full moon in your sign at the start of August is a good omen? Aren’t you starting to feel happier? Or are you still entangled in recent issues and challenges? You’ve successfully protected yourself from feeling too overwhelmed by creating a series of protective barriers. The challenge is that as well as keeping trouble at bay, they’re keeping good people and things out. As the month progresses and you find the confidence to lower your defences, your social life and your mood will greatly improve.

Pisces Feb20- Mar20

There’s no simple fix to the dilemma you face in August. Even if you find a situation so tiresome that you want to walk away, your involvement makes it hard to extricate yourself. Focusing all your attention on it won’t provide you with the answer either, you’ve already tried that to no avail. Yet the full moon, at the start of the month, is a clear signal that you have the wherewithal to regenerate a sense of perspective. Once that’s established, you’ll know exactly what to do and how to do it. Transform your life in August.
