Daily Horoscopes
Tuesday 1st August 2006
An older person or long-time friend might suggest you don't know what you're doing. A newer friend could be pulling you in another direction. Between the two, a Sagittarius (or someone who works in adult education) seems likely to act as referee - and might suggest you take a break. Though they might not want to come with you, they could come up with an ace way of processing thoughts to arrive at conclusions.

Wednesday 2nd August 2006
It might seem that everyone's shouting. You too may have demands to make. Over-the-top reactions are likely but could be exactly what's needed if you're on holiday and or need to be part of a team that's carried away on an enthusiastic wave. At a slightly different level - but with equal impact -memories of childhood could surface and disturb your equilibrium.

Thursday 3rd August 2006
A Cancer friend might benefit from your assistance. It's possible that they're as worried about change as you can be. It's likely that you'll do more than make sympathetic noises. In an 'actions speak louder than words' way, you could really, really help: all of which might take your mind off a difficult situation that's developing with someone from another generation.

Friday 4th August 2006
Taking responsibility is probable - though you might not sign on the dotted line until early next week. A variation on this theme is that you might now be ready to make a real commitment - either to one person or to a group. The big issue for you might be to what extent your wings will be clipped if you take on a new role - and whether or not you prepared to relinquish a little freedom.

Saturday 5th August 2006
Health issues could dominate your day. It might not even be your own that are cause for concern. You may have anxiety about someone who always says they're 'OK'. It's possible that they don't want to confide fears. It might also be that they have feelings they've yet to share with anyone (now might still not be the time) and simply need you to acknowledge they're working things out - quietly.

Sunday 6th August 2006
One of your great gifts is to recognise the differences between people - and each person's potential for genius. Today you could nurture a flame of talent: your 'parenting' and teaching skills could surface. The part about this that you might enjoy most, is reaching someone that others have dismissed - and doing so without making a fuss.

Monday 7th August 2006
An age difference could bother you. An alternative is that you'll be left 'holding the baby'. Yet another possibility is that you'll agree to a long-term commitment. These different scenarios have in common awareness of the passage of time and acceptance of responsibility. Any or all might also be cause for celebration in the coming weeks.

Tuesday 8th August 2006
Building bridges (literal or otherwise) is unlikely to be difficult. You could also realise extra cash through the sale of something old. An 'old' relationship (with someone born under Libra or Sagittarius?) could be revitalised - probably because you're both intent on improving conditions for someone younger who's gone through a few upsets in recent months.

Wednesday 9th August 2006
A minor health problem could demand attention and diet adjustment. Meanwhile a Sagittarian friend's enthusiasm for a project could leave you baffled. Where has this come from? You might also be asked to look after property for a neighbour. Apparent tension in the love relationship between two close friends could lead you to ask 'what's wrong' and land the role of confidante.

Thursday 10th August 2006
Playing with cash as though it were 'play-doh' might prove an entertaining way or stretching and manipulating resources. Your fashion sense could be affected by an over-worked imagination too. For reasons you can't explain, your telepathic skills could surface: causing you to wonder the exact nature of a relationship.

Friday 11th August 2006
It shouldn't be difficult to create an aura of mystique around you - or to be a 'fly on the wall'. Whilst this could be great fun if you're on holiday, it could confuse work colleagues who might accuse you of day-dreaming or not pulling your weight. It's possible that you're uniquely placed to observe - and spot - potential that you'll cultivate later this week.

Saturday 12th August 2006
You could spot a bargain - and could do exceptionally well at an auction. This could be one of the better shopping days of the year (provided you've done your homework). A large item may be involved. The cross-fire of bidding is likely to suit you. You might though need to travel to get away from the cross-fire between two people whose antagonism toward one another is emotionally draining - for everyone.

Sunday 13th August 2006
The bargain shopper within might still be at work. This time the emphasis is likely to be on travel tickets. An older relative may be about to go on a long journey - or need your help to make contact with someone who lives some distance away. Meanwhile, now that someone who tends to be secretive has finally announced their plans, you may have hosts of questions to ask.

Monday 14th August 2006
Though the answers to some of your questions may be met with blank stares or answers that are just too ridiculous for you to do much more than laugh, you might now have accepted that someone really is moving on and that soon you'll have more freedom. You might even be in a position to give a fast response to someone who'd like to get you involved in a project - and needs your help sooner rather than later.

Tuesday 15th August 2006
There might be more going on with neighbours than you'd ever imagined there could be. The good news is that you might receive useful assistance with a repair. You might also glean useful information about a journey. What arrives by mail could result in you making contact with a very old friend (who works in law or education) and who may be able to put a good word in for you concerning a job.

Wednesday 16th August 2006
Someone may be trying to have a 'private' word with you but perhaps doesn't have the confidence to seize the moment. You may need to nudge them along. They may need help to go through old papers or documents and could be finding this emotionally challenging. It might also be necessary to undertake a quick journey: though it may be wise to take extra care you don't travel too fast and happen to an accident as a result.

Thursday 17th August 2006
The child in you could surface: possibly because you've come across a book you loved during that period of your life. You might also find yourself recounting tales of a walk with a grandparent. All this could be your brain's way of putting you back in touch with something that was once so important to you. Midst all this, you could give deeper consideration as to where - and with whom - you really want to live.

Friday 18th August 2006
If it's not a love-interest, then it's a hobby that's likely to put a smile on your face. Part of you might even think you've regressed. Another part though may be seeing opportunities that have probably been around forever - but you're only just seeing. You could also taste freedom from a situation that in recent times has becomes increasingly demanding and worrying.

Saturday 19th August 2006
There could be some preoccupation with a younger person's meal plans - perhaps because you're concerned about their health generally. It may be that you're looking for something to worry about though. With your brain-cells craving excitement, anything's possible. Feeding these cells first could reduce other concerns. In particular you might enjoy greater involvement in a community project or getting to know new neighbours.

Sunday 20th August 2006
A forgetful sub-personality could emerge when a friend reminds you of an impending deadline. You could be distracted by a request from another friend who's stuck trying to make something work. It could be that a major repair is needed. You might know exactly who to ask and who's willing to work 'out of hours'.

Monday 21st August 2006
You could be reminded of the difference between you and someone you regard as a sibling. Your different approaches to a situation may be needed though. You could be either hugely amused or greatly offended by someone whose voice is very loud. (Actually, the comedian in you could surface too). Less amusing may be the realisation that someone's relying on you - when that's the last weight you want to carry presently.

Tuesday 22nd August 2006
Perhaps because someone infers you can't have exactly what you want, you could go into over-drive. You don't 'do' regulations. The need for more - and, specifically, to expand your boundaries is likely to be very strong. Encouraged by someone born under Leo or Scorpio you could determine on a course of action and draw up a list and timetable that forms the basis for discussion.

Wednesday 23rd August 2006
Until the New Moon (19.10 GMT) it might seems that others are pulling against you. It could be that you're about to join forces against an administrative body that seems oblivious to your emotional needs. You may be about to be at your magnificent best: taking on unknown forces and championing for better care for those who can't fight for themselves. You might also discover a useful ally in someone considerably younger and who has their own ideas about how to improve a system.

Thursday 24th August 2006
Your 'smarts' may be in excellent condition: enabling you to fight for rights. It's likely too that you have questions to ask that require in-depth knowledge. You could surprise an expert: they might even suggest you join forces. It's probable too that you'll bond with someone who shares your sense of humour and knows how and when to 'switch off'.

Friday 25th August 2006
Friends, relatives and colleagues could unload on you. You might be happy that they're at last talking about a problem. You may need them to listen to you too though. It could be that they're about to make a decision that would affect you as much as them. Quite separately, you could instigate conversation with a younger person about their living arrangements - and whether or not there would be any advantages in you pooling resources.

Saturday 26th August 2006
Just how tightly involved in a relationship you want to be could be an issue. You might sense that the other person needs to be released from an obligation. Your own ties to a place may be changing too. Whilst walking - and near sand or marshes - you could tune into a universal energy that reminds you that 'nothing last forever'. You might even raise a glass to this with a fine old wine or drink water from fine crystal.

Sunday 27th August 2006
As with most people you could go from one extreme to another: on the one hand you might be at loss to know what to do - on the other hand you could force yourself into doing something you believe to be your 'duty'. Chances are that there's no 'right' or 'wrong' in this and that the art is in balancing your day. A Libra friend could help by needing you to balance them!

Monday 28th August 2006
You might now be considering a change of direction: which could be literal if you're travelling. It might also be that you're ready to invest in a training scheme that would benefit your career. The detective in you might not be far from the surface. You might enjoy discovering someone's motivation. Within a pressure group, your interest in a project could grow.

Tuesday 29th August 2006
You could 'hear something to your advantage'. What was suggested as a possibility a few days ago could gather momentum. The difference this would make to your bank balance could be dramatic. First though, you may need to get an idea past an administrative body that perhaps doesn't have the flexibility to cope with matters that require rules to be bent or broken. At a different level, someone's travel adventures could hold you spell-bound and prompt early planning for next year.

Wednesday 30th August 2006
Everything around you may seem slippy in some way. Holding on to things could be tricky. Loss of some kind is possible. These same conditions could be useful for sifting through photographs of people you thought you'd forgotten though. It's possible that your memory has been put on a different setting for the day. The whole process could lead to you uncovering the real reason why someone from the past gave something up and/or why a family talent is no longer as obvious as it once was.

Thursday 31st August 2006
Intrigued to know more about the past and why someone behaved as they did, could set you on a quest. The genealogist in you could surface. You might be just as interested to know how two people got together. This may have had a 'blind date' quality to it and could give you the courage to try out a similar venture. In the work-place too, you might be prepared to put forward your c.v. in the hope of attracting a job that would make full use of your many talents.

Weekly Horoscopes
Week Beginning Sunday 6th August 2006
With the Sun and Saturn aligning in your opposite sign on Monday, it's likely to be older people (or those in authority) who demand attention. Meeting a deadline or accepting responsibility is likely, keeping you extra busy through Tuesday. It could be the Full Moon (in your sign) on Wednesday before the emotional impact of all that's taken place affects you. You may need time and space to withdraw and process feelings then. Though you might still be disorientated and even dis-abled on Thursday, by then you might also have a sense of what you'd like to happen so that on Friday you feel able to make an announcement that's been swirling in your mind for some months. This could leave others confused: they might even suggest you need more time before you make another move. They may be right about one thing: you'll need to raise capital - which the rational and logical side of your brain might see as your new challenge.

Week Beginning Sunday 13th August 2006
Probably triggered by a chance remark made over the weekend, you could start Monday keen to make contact with friends who've gone on to apparently exciting ventures. It's possible too that you'll also be ready to self-invest and to do something purely for fun. That bee could stay in your bonnet through Tuesday. It's contact with a group of old friends that could mark this week out though. Indeed, by Thursday, knowing where you each are and what you're doing, could be working to pull you all closer once more: all of which could result in interesting conversations on Thursday when plans are born. In turn, this could lead to a busy Friday as you chase contacts, review networks and generally get together the items and services needed to launch a project. All this could take your mind off someone who's excessively secretive or private and who really doesn't understand why you care as much about their affairs as you do.

Week Beginning Sunday 20th August 2006
You won't be alone if you feel out of sorts on Monday. It's a useful day for sifting through information (or building sand-castles if on holiday) - it just might not be quite so good for feeling you've achieved something that will stand the test of time. That's more likely later this week (after Wednesday's New Moon). Though you might push the boat out a bit on Tuesday trying to get others to go along with ideas, they might not do so until Thursday. By then though - and probably because you'll have prepared so much groundwork - it's unlikely that anyone would want to disagree with well-thought-out plans. Your career (even if on holiday) could receive a little lift that day, giving you food for more thought over the weekend (though it may be uncomfortable knowing information you can't divulge to everyone just yet). Another interesting twist in this is that whatever is offered is likely to take you into places of great historical interest and which are now buzzing with new ideas.

Week Beginning Sunday 27th August 2006
Later this week both of your ruling planets reach key phases with two other outer planets. The fact that you're so sensitive to two planets usually means that you're often in a position where you feel torn between the past and the future. That theme's likely to be exaggerated this week and may mean that by Friday you're being pulled (probably by the hair and kicking and screaming) into making adjustments to your routine and to a key relationship. This could be caused by the arrival of a legacy or a family change that requires you to think about long-term financial planning. On a business level, it's as likely to mean that a bank or financial advisor or accountant will demand that you effect significant changes. Though you may feel that change is being thrust upon you, that might not be bad news at all. An old friend might be quick to point out that this activity paves the way for a financial spring-clean and subsequent fresh start.

Weekend (Love) Horoscopes
The Weekend of Friday 4th August 2006
Over the next few days, Saturn (in your opposite) sign aligns with the Sun. This suggests that dealing with other people (probably older), will leave you increasingly aware of the responsibilities you have to others. Those obligations could weigh heavily. Events may be such that avoiding commitment or responsibility is impossible. 'Light' relief is likely to come in from of a group of friends who've faced similar dilemmas and who're willing to help - possibly by giving you a lift or by facilitating the purchase of short-notice tickets. Emotionally you're most likely to be affected on Sunday however when someone you've never met goes out of their way to bend rules. Those involved in long-term relationships are likely to find that these few days are less about romance and more about working through a normal 'life-problem' - but together.

The Weekend of Friday 11th August 2006
A last (confusing) message might be received on Friday. With Mercury returned to a place it held at the end of June - and in your opposite sign, it might seem that someone's going back on their word, is giving out yet more confusing information or has taken a wrong decision. The real point here is that it's likely to be a few days before you really know where you are with this person - and their future plans. The impact this has on you could be considerable. It's likely that someone has already decided 'you're the one for them': getting past your present preoccupations might not be easy though. It's likely they'll have a good try however - and as likely that you'll be willing to do something different (even surprising yourself). This isn't the same as making long-term commitment, this seems more about breaking into a new zone and accepting a new romantic tempo.

The Weekend of Friday 18th August 2006
As they say 'may you live in interesting times'. These next few days might not be the best in traditionally indicated romantic terms, but they do appear full of potential conviviality and friendship - which would be a good basis for launching a new partnership or improving an existing one. A degree of 'darkness' is possible too: that could mean anything from parties taking place in cellars or well after sunset - or even a masked-ball. Intrigue and mystery could be big themes. Friends' behaviour might fascinate you on Friday, whilst it's the antics of a Pisces that could exert a hold on you on Saturday. It's a Sagittarius who's likely to show most interest in you on Sunday though: this might even be on old relationship that's taken out for airing.

The Weekend of Friday 25th August 2006
It will be late June 2007 before Saturn and Neptune release their watery grip from the relationship axis of your solar chart. Until then it might feel as though you're treading on shifting sands with responsibilities to other generations (and work) too often getting in the way. That could be so, so true this weekend when obligations to a partner or close friend (as well as their obligations to others) mean you both 'have' to attend an event. This might not be your scene at all - though you may be happy to show maximum understanding in the knowledge that you will then have special time together on Sunday. It's then that you might come into contact with someone who's highly artistic, is hugely enthusiastic about what they do and whose self-discipline is something of a turn-on. It's this person who could turn you on to a new poetry, art or sound, with significant impact on your emotional well-being.

Monthly Horoscope
The Month of August 2006
From 13th to 23rd, the Sun, Mercury, Venus and Saturn will all be in your opposite sign - possibly coinciding with you feeling that you have the strength to cope with complex situations. Earlier, (around the Full Moon (9th), there may be increased need to look after the financial affairs of those close to you. In a sense, you may be asked to take on a parenting role. This could be linked to events taking place prior to 7th which give you cause for concern that someone is unable to look after their affairs. By 17th however, you might succeed in turning around what appeared to be a lost cause on 11th. Any natural ability to hoard and to apply thrift techniques is likely to surface midmonth too. Around 17th, 23rd, 24th and later on 28th and 29th, you may significantly improve your position by doing what you do so well: focusing (though you might not be entirely comfortable that your position is 'safe'). In protecting others though, you might also see opportunities for investment in areas you'd never have considered before. In the last few days of August you might even put a tentative investment toe in this direction.
