Horoscopes

- AUGUST PREDICTION­S BY PETER WATSON

C%NCER 22 JUN – 23 JUL

Juggling your finances might take some effort until around mid-August. You’ll suddenly be shown ways in which to get more for your money when it comes to saving or spending. You’ll also realise that you’ve been underestim­ating the ability of one particular person to steer you away from potential disasters and guide you towards success. LUCKY DAY 19th - once you stop trying to rule the roost, peace reigns.

VIRGO 24 AUG – 23 SEP

Out of the blue you’ll be invited to take part in a trip or get-together. Any decisions on this matter should, if possible, be made by 20 August when Uranus enters a retrograde phase. That’s the point at which others are likely to provide unreliable informatio­n or leave you wondering whether you’re perhaps being duped. LUCKY DAY 1st - a tense situation is seen as

a challenge not a chore.

SCORPIO 24 OCT – 22 NOV

Friends or loved ones might assume that developmen­ts in your work or lifestyle will affect them adversely. Do everything possible to avoid letting a Mercury-Jupiter clash create a sense of panic and mistrust in them. Be prepared to disclose even the most sensitive details to convince those involved that they really are on safe ground. LUCKY DAY 3rd - keeping the

peace averts con½ict and wins you fans.

PISCES 20 FEB – 20 MAR

Have respect for that part of you that feels obliged to support certain individual­s but also suspects they’re taking advantage of you. The dilemma you’re about to face in this regard needn’t be overwhelmi­ng but you must be honest with yourself about what you really think of those concerned. Might unconsciou­s bias be playing a part? LUCKY DAY 26th -

talk of travel or a reunion goes down well.

LEO 24 JUL – 23 AUG

Play down any bickering with a relative or friend and take ownership of any odd little mistakes you might have made. What you mustn’t do is refuse to listen to criticism aimed at you when you know you have been slightly remiss in certain areas. By vigorously defending yourself you would only be prolonging the agony. LUCKY DAY 23rd - everyone gains by clearing the air and starting again.

S%GIT%RIUS 23 NOV – 21 DEC

The sooner you reorganise aspects of your home or family set-up, the better. And don’t think you have to wait for the approval of others before you make a start. You’re perfectly capable of taking decisions related to finances, refurbishm­ents or the amount of support expected by those who should be more self-sufficient by now. LUCKY DAY 25th - someone with a

hold over you is disempower­ed.

%RIES 21 MAR – 20 APR

Plans to spring a surprise on somebody close could go awry unless you’re very fussy about minor details. Not only could the cost go through the roof, you might also misjudge the likely impact caused by your desire to show off your creative—perhaps even outrageous—streak when, in fact, it’s neither welcome nor well-timed. LUCKY DAY 8th - an emotional tug-ofwar is brought to a happy ending.

C%PRICORN 22 DEC – 20 JAN

A secret part of you wants to prove your worth within an extremely competitiv­e area. And with time running out you’ll soon decide to act. That’s fine provided you’re as well-prepared as you can possibly be and you’ve thought long and hard about why you need to put yourself to the test in this way. LUCKY DAY 4th - joint ventures help balance income versus outgoings.

T%URUS 21 APR – 21 MAY

You’ll be encouraged to prove yourself within territory you find challengin­g. And about time too. Be honest and admit that you have been making excuses not to try showing off your strengths to interested parties, in case these are outnumbere­d by your weaknesses. You cannot delay any longer. You’re almost certain to achieve positive results. LUCKY DAY 16th - your

talents lead you to a new way of life.

LIBR% 24 SEP – 23 OCT

Listen to your instincts when they tell you that unusual shifts and changes impacting your financial affairs cannot be ignored. Without hinting that people are behaving fraudulent­ly—or at least irresponsi­bly—you must make it obvious that you’re watching them. If, as a result, the problem rights itself, so well and good. Otherwise remain vigilant. LUCKY DAY 22nd - current issues

are eased by the kindness of strangers.

%5U%RIUS 21 JAN – 19 FEB

Private thoughts concerning an intimate relationsh­ip might leave you wondering whether there are serious issues to confront. Don’t be misled by a disruptive Sun-Saturn set-to which could, if you’re not careful, leave you feeling guilty for voicing your fears and concerns. You’ve a right to speak up and must do so before it’s too late. LUCKY DAY 6th - apologisin­g for a mishap

earns you respect all round.

GEMINI 22 MAY – 21 JUN

Just as you think a personal or work-related arrangemen­t is doomed to fail, someone will come to your rescue. Venus confrontin­g Neptune but befriendin­g Pluto urges you to rely on the know-how and generosity of this onlooker who is about to teach you a lot, not just about matters in hand but also about yourself. LUCKY DAY 30th - missing parts of a jigsaw appear,

much to your relief.
