Your Stars FOR AUGUST
24 July to 23 August
The Full Moon this month is in your Love Zone, just as tough Saturn trolls its way through there as well. You may be feeling challenged when it comes to the important relationships in your life. Take an inventory of all your partnerships and see what they are teaching you.
VIRGO 24 August to 23 September
No one could blame you if you’re finding life hard going. You’re conscientious at the best of times and, right now, you have some very heavy-duty, demanding energy bearing down on you every day. Use the power of the Virgo New Moon at the end of August to start all over again. Set an intention for happier days!
LIBRA 24 September to 23 October
Now is the time to find some moments for introspection and a little devotion. Whether it’s a yoga class where you appreciate your body, or some daily or weekly meditation, or even chanting, make an effort to tune into yourself.
SCORPIO 24 October to 22 November
This month brings your annual New Moon in your Wishing Zone, so make a wish, quick! Keep thinking about what you want and visualise it as real. It’s not a perfect month, but it really could help you materialise a dream.
SAGITTARIUS 23 November to 21 December
If you’ve allowed negative thinking to become a regular passion, stop that now! That said, this month has its challenges, but you are getting a restart professionally. Where do you want your career to go in the next 12 months? Use the energy to plan a road map to stability.
CAPRICORN 22 December to 20 January
There could be some dramas to do with your self-worth and/or your bank account (they are inextricably linked). The best attitude you can adopt is: ‘Whatever is happening now is happening because I need to learn a lesson.’ On the plus side, if your finances are strong, it’s a great time to book or take a trip away.
AQUARIUS 21 January to 19 February
Whatever is going on in your life, remember this is part of an overall cycle showing you not just how strong you are, but also how you are able to learn life lessons as you go along. If someone’s provoking you this month, what is that showing you about them? And you?
PISCES 20 February to 20 March
There’s a New Moon in your Love Zone this month. For some, it’s about finding a new connection; for others, it’s about falling in love with your partner all over again; and for others still, it’s realising that your relationship isn’t cutting it. Mars in your Home and Family Zone is stirring things up, so tread carefully.
ARIES 21 March to 20 April
Not everyone we meet turns out to be a lifelong friend. Not everyone even turns
out to be trustworthy. If there’s someone in your life you’ve been hoping to move on from, this month could do the trick. It’s also the perfect time for you to set yourself up with healthier daily routines.
TAURUS 21 April to 21 May
The skies strongly suggest that you need to work on being more independent. Yes, of course, relationships take work, but don’t let them rule your life. This month is the perfect time to make sure you have your work/life balance in order. Efforts you make towards doing this will stand you in excellent stead in the future.
GEMINI 22 May to 22 June
The first thing to say is don’t let the wheels of your mind drive you crazy. One significant worry might be keeping you up at night, but you really are far better off trying to focus less on the details and more on the bigger picture. A weekly gratitude practice such as journalling will move mountains for you.
CANCER 23 June to 23 July
You are learning lots of very important lessons about money at the moment. This month, the Full Moon brings about some kind of turnaround for you when it comes to your money and someone else’s cash. A good time to pay off debts. Avoid dubious financial collaborations.
