Daily Horoscopes
Tuesday 1st August 2006
The way in which you handle cash could be subtly changing: causing you to re-think spending habits and, in particular, subscriptions to organisations. Two people: both of whom might be described as 'financial partners' could make demands. At the very least you may need to promise to attend a meeting on Friday or Monday to resolve issues.

Wednesday 2nd August 2006
You could feel over-stretched. It's possible too that a Sagittarius will throw a side-winder. Neighbours too might have things to discuss - again intruding on private time. However, an interesting offer - involving teaching or training - could come your way: giving you and someone close even more to think about and discuss.

Thursday 3rd August 2006
2006 could eventually be your 'year of cross-roads'. Yet another one could be on the horizon - this time pointed out by someone you work with irregularly. Added to yesterday's discussions, this might even mean you need to set up a meeting with yourself to weigh options! Someone who tends to play cards close (but who is undoubtedly passionate) may now need to confide in you.

Friday 4th August 2006
An ethical or moral crisis could grip you. Another possibility is that you'll know that the actions you're taking won't be approved of by someone whom you really don't want to hurt or upset. This clash could continue for a few days but, in the process bring you close to someone you're chosen as a friend (as opposed to someone who's thrust upon you - i.e. a relative).

Saturday 5th August 2006
It might feel as though you're caught in a war of words with someone who's so, so sure they're right. Only someone who's really close and who understands all the history may be able to offer the support you need now:- part of which could include practising tough love, and making it clear to someone that you're fully aware that you're responsible for your own actions - as they must be for theirs.

Sunday 6th August 2006
Rapport with neighbours and negotiations to buy and sell oddments seems likely. A sibling (or childhood friend) might offer words of wisdom - and assistance. This could take you by surprise. They too though may be interested to learn of developments in your life. Concern for older friends and relatives might unite you.

Monday 7th August 2006
Today is special: not only is the Moon in 'your' sign, but the Sun and Saturn (your ruling planet) align. It may well be that the buck stops with you and that you're forced to accept responsibility (though it could be that the cosmos thinks you're well-placed to cope!). Your thoughts are likely to turn to traditions, family values and your personal code of ethics.

Tuesday 8th August 2006
Someone you haven't seen in ages could resurface. They might also bring an idea that would net you extra cash. You may be asked to help someone out and find that they've been struggling with a situation for ages. They might see you as a miracle worker! What you uncover whilst moving items around could give you something to laugh about.

Wednesday 9th August 2006
Living 'out of a suitcase' for one reason or another seems likely. A general muddle might not sit well with someone close. Your own nerves could be raw - especially when it seems that a decision has been taken without consultation. All this may need to be mentally set to one side whilst you assist someone who's far from well and who needs reassurance.

Thursday 10th August 2006
Someone's apparent disorientation and unwillingness to accept facts could test your language skills. Explaining why things have to be done in a particularly way and letting this person down gently could lead you to using phrases you've 'borrowed'. The other side of your brain is likely to be busy on a finding a scientific or mechanical resolution to a conundrum.

Friday 11th August 2006
Being 'lost in translation' seems likely. The upside though is that your romantic strings could be tugged and your sense of humour brought to the surface. Bringing light relief to someone who's going through a tricky time may come through taking time-out - and possibly travelling to a place near water and with the best air quality around.

Saturday 12th August 2006
This could prove an energetic time - both physically and emotionally. Changes in a neighbour's situation could provide you with an opportunity. Frequent short trips seem likely. A close friend could disturb your equilibrium with an announcement. It might initially sound as though they're being contrary. It's as likely that they've only now uncovered a truth - and are as amazed by their reaction as you are.

Sunday 13th August 2006
A topsy-turvy atmosphere prevails - and could continue for the next few weeks. Your ability to roll with the punches seems likely to be tested. Today that could come in the form of a neighbour or friend whose news is entirely unexpected - but which might be cause for celebration. This might also require that a quick trip away is planned.

Monday 14th August 2006
Excitement may be building - and in the people close to you as well as within you. Disorder is likely too. Both at home and at work you could experience moments where nothing seems to be running smoothly. You could view all this as a test in crisis management. Within all this activity, a comment made by someone who's been through similar times, could have great effect and might prompt you to make contact with someone whose approach is usually 'off the wall' but, at times, 'right-on'.

Tuesday 15th August 2006
Several short journeys are likely. You might also have concern about small animals or younger people who may not be able or willing to follow instructions. DIY tasks seem likely too. A sibling or neighbour's assistance could prove invaluable when things go momentarily pear-shaped.

Wednesday 16th August 2006
You may feel you're at the centre of a communications storm. A flurry of activity around you could necessitate that you too make frequent short journeys and that you act as a project co-ordinator. Midst all this, a younger person may ask for advice and require special care. You might even get in touch with an educator or old teacher whom you know to be familiar with this kind of hurdle.

Thursday 17th August 2006
This is just the first step in a transformation that's scheduled to complete before your birthday. Today's changes bring new perspective - they might also require that you dig deep to find things you didn't even know you'd mislaid. You might feel as though your internal batteries have been replaced - which could lead to willingness to move things around and effect change others wouldn't have thought you'd even think of.

Friday 18th August 2006
Details could disturb your equilibrium. There may be just too many decisions to make. Adjustment to a new scene could send your inner scales in one direction or the other. Extremes seem likely - and frequent. Even so, it's likely that a partnership is really going to pay dividends. Two friends (who might at one level seem like 'terrible twins' could offer assistance that smooth your path.

Saturday 19th August 2006
Property and nesting matters seem likely to dominate. In renovating an area, you could rediscover items long-hidden. A close friend's mood could change quickly - and often, leaving you at times amused - and then bewildered. Though your romantic life might have its turbulent moments, today's incidents could become tomorrow's magical memories.

Sunday 20th August 2006
Involvement in a repair seems likely. It's possible too that you'll be exploring a place above ground and, perhaps, arranging cables or wires. A television or mobile phone signal might not be working as well as you need it to be - or perhaps it's a sound system that needs attention? What's said over a meal could remind you just why you're so fond of certain people.

Monday 21st August 2006
Your expertise could be questioned - and/or you could experience a confidence crisis. This is a blip in a regular cycle and may be as much about tuning into your inner-self. Part of the problem may be letting go of the handrail offered by rules and regulations: your instinct might work better. Travel - and loss of a ticket or pass - could create a different kind of blip.

Tuesday 22nd August 2006
You may be racing against the clock. Demand on your time is likely to be far greater than usual. Introduction to a group of people who could help you through a maze seems likely. Your thirst for knowledge may have grown in recent weeks and could prompt you to attend a course. On top of this, you might have cause to be cautiously optimistic that a financial deal is going to work out better than you could have hoped.

Wednesday 23rd August 2006
You might be racing against time: you could be on an errand for truth. Not only could you get to the bottom of a financial conundrum, you might also tune in to a therapy that's valuable to someone dealing with a health issue. This might even prove to be the start of a crusade (though it could be next spring before this really takes off). For now, you could take pleasure in bringing a little magic into the life of a ' Water' baby (born under Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces).

Thursday 24th August 2006
You may be seen as having the 'magic touch': certainly it seems likely that you have needed knowledge. You may be asked to pass some of this on in a teaching capacity. Your language skills could be put to the test too (either because there are accents or foreign/technical languages involved). Your interest in learning more about a subject could be stirred by contact with someone who's 'into' problem-solving using a particular method.

Friday 25th August 2006
An eventful social life is indicated. As part of a team you may be welcoming people into a new setting. News regarding work prospects could give you something to celebrate. You might be as pleased to discover that the expertise of someone close is being acknowledged. The prospect of a journey to somewhere that has romantic significance could put you in particularly good humour.

Saturday 26th August 2006
You may need to make a tough decision: a close friend may be relying on you. It's possible too that mentally you'll be grappling with a work-related matter that involves deciding just how much energy you're willing to put in to make a partnership work. You might be deciding to cut losses. Midst all this, you could make contact with someone who took a step into the unknown some years ago - and hasn't regretted it.

Sunday 27th August 2006
It might seem as though you're in romantic free-fall. The truth is probably that you're unsure of where you stand generally and the best energiser you know is to 'fall for something or someone' again. Even sharing special moments with good friends and switching off to what have been pressing practicalities - but which have probably been too much and in too short a time - could recharge you.

Monday 28th August 2006
The unswerving support and loyalty of a friend could take your breath away. Their willingness to change their routine to help you might be surprising them too! Yet you might both be enjoying riding a social wave and being together. You might also discover that an item's more valuable than you thought. It could be that in time this will represent your 'get out of jail' card.

Tuesday 29th August 2006
Expect to be ultra-busy - in a positive way. Just how valuable your place is within a team could be apparent. Colleagues, clients and friends may be happy to confide in you (possibly about heath matters: certainly about subjects often thought of as 'taboo'). One or two might also have suggestions as to how you could improve on a service. If there is a fly in this ointment, it could come in the form of a bill or invoice that's not what you expected.

Wednesday 30th August 2006
A team might appear rudderless - or you might be sensing that change is in the air but hasn't yet been discussed. A marketing campaign might now be demanding your full attention. The way words are set on paper could occupy some of your time - as could the Internet. For some, this could bring discussions about an advertising campaign. You might also have involvement in the collection of data. A Leo or Scorpio friend's experience could be really helpful.

Thursday 31st August 2006
You could illicit information you didn't know you wanted - or needed. A slide into financial difficulty could be avoided as a result. When consulted about a design or colour scheme you could be more passionate than even you expected to be. Light and shade could matter more than usual. You might even want to move or improve a computer monitor. In this, a Leo or Aquarius friend's advice could be really useful.

Weekly Horoscopes
Week Beginning Sunday 6th August 2006
The Sun and your ruling planet align on Monday. It's probable that the last couple of Augusts have been significant: August 2006 is unlikely to be an exception. You may now be preparing to take on new responsibility. The good news is that you're well equipped to cope and that negotiating the first hurdle should be easy on Tuesday. It's then that you might be telling others that all that's needed is cool logic and calm planning. Even you could benefit from assistance though. The cavalry (an Aquarius?) is likely to ride in midweek, leaving you far better able to cope with developments on Thursday that are confusing and disorientating. What happens on Friday may have been in preparation for some weeks (since at least early July if not before). Though exhausting, it might also be a move forward that's a key development in your life plan.

Week Beginning Sunday 13th August 2006
It might not feel like it, but progress is probably being made. Sure, the landscape may be different (perhaps because you're on holiday), but it's also likely that you're settling in to a new routine - which might not be fully achieved until August 23rd. For now there may be all sorts of little things to be done. On Monday this could leave you in high spirits. The support of neighbours and good friends could help you too. On the work front, developments on Tuesday could put new fuel in your tank when a minor incident leaves you feeling that you've broken into a new area where your expertise is really appreciated. Despite the fact that someone who thinks they know everything is adamant that they have the perfect route-map, you could determine on a course of action (primed by a good friend) that makes it clear that you really are in charge. Interestingly, people you meet on Friday might support this breakthrough and bring new and useful contacts your way.

Week Beginning Sunday 20th August 2006
Mercury is the planet associated with trading - and shopping. It's now you see it, now you don't appearance (coupled with its complicated revolutions), symbolise the ebb and flow of transactions. This Monday, Mercury meets with Saturn (your ruling planet) but opposite Neptune - which is a confusing picture and suggests that gains or commitment will be balanced by loss and dissolution. It doesn't necessarily mean that you'll take a step backwards: more likely that you won't get a real feel for what's happening until early next week. In the meantime there's a New Moon (Wednesday) in another of the Earth signs. This coincides with a cluster of aspects that might translate into a cluster of trades. Midweek then you could be busy juggling cash, shopping, trading, dealing and generally effecting change. It would be understandable then if you needed time off on Friday both to catch up and to bring someone who's been away, up to date with all that's been happening.

Week Beginning Sunday 27th August 2006
The good news is that a significant amount of good-will could smooth an unfamiliar path over the next few days. Even it's not your route to work that changes, it could be the mode of transport or the people you share travel time with that stimulates your imagination and brings opportunities. The Internet too could play a more than usually significant role. It's through this medium that you could make contact with people who might otherwise not know of your interests and skills. It's likely then that you'll be buoyed up with enthusiasm as the week begins. It's not so much a crash-landing as a slithery slope that could bring you down on the last day of August. Of course, it may be that you simply run out of energy. It might also be that you run low on cash. The good news though is that on Friday, a combination of aspects suggests you'll find hidden treasures and attract help from people whose word is absolutely their bond - and which you now appreciate even more.

Weekend (Love) Horoscopes
The Weekend of Friday 4th August 2006
The Sun and Saturn align in a very special area of your solar chart. Though you may be dealing with complex life/death, inheritance and joint financial matters, you don't need to feel that the unacceptably heavy weight of these will go on forever: it won't. How well you deal with these few days could hinge on your understanding of time. You're probably right in that meaningful conversations with certain people ought to have happened before now. Taking pleasure in the fact that they are now happening could dissolve any angst. You might also find that a long-term friend is there for you when you need them and that one of the side effects and blessings of this period is knowing that you have that support.

The Weekend of Friday 11th August 2006
With Mercury returning to a position held around 6 weeks ago, you might finally be moving off. It's not that these last weeks have been wasted: it's likely that there was much planning to do. Having arrived at this point though, you could understandably feel disorientated, confused, excited and apprehensive all at once. Events taking place this weekend or soon after may well influence the way you work and play for years to come. Even if on holiday and tasting new foods and experiencing new sounds and colours, you might wish to bring some home to incorporate into your routine - all of which may be possible. Indeed, given that you're in the mood for sweeping changes, what you bring to a romantic party might also show that you're willing to break habits that might have held back emotional fulfilment.

The Weekend of Friday 18th August 2006
You're unlikely to be the only sign that finds the next few days confusing. For a start many people could be in the mood to party on Friday. You might be busy with other things (work-related). The combination could leave little time for sweet-nothings. The same could be true of Saturday when unexpected developments again conspire to get in the way of you spending time alone with a certain person. That opportunity's likely to arrive on Sunday - and could be forced by the other person who's determined that certain issues are addressed and resolved. Indeed, it's whilst going through old (and messy?) bits and pieces (metaphoric and literal) that you could stumble on to a new wavelength between you. It's once this happens that you might talk about the kind of future you'd like to believe could happen - and now might.

The Weekend of Friday 25th August 2006
The days following a New Moon offer a period of opportunity. This time the accent is on extending your horizons. However, no cycle can be looked on in isolation and this little energy boost could be drowned by a tide pulling in in another direction (probably financial). It's probable then that you could suffer an acute attack of wishful thinking. It might also be that there's just so much that you want to do and not enough time to do it in. You're unlikely to be alone with these feelings though. The likelihood is that friends are going through similar challenges. They too might welcome simple pleasures and/or preserving cash for very special treats. From the romantic perspective these few days could be extra special and most likely because the focus is on durability and building sandcastles together (possibly literally). In this respect, Sunday could be really rewarding.

Monthly Horoscope
The Month of August 2006
Every August there's at least one Full Moon in your finance zone. It's possible that financial matters regularly come up for review around this time. The difference this year is that, as in 2005, Saturn is moving through one of your finance zones and, like a 'cosmic headmaster' wagging a finger in your direction. You may be called to account. This year especially you might feel that your 'homework' isn't good enough. Indeed, before 8th, you might even be reluctant to 'hand the homework in'. However, thanks to Mercury's recent 'loop in the sky', on Friday 11th you may be feeling the fear and doing it anyway. Then, by the Last Quarter Moon (16th), you might be giving yourself a pat on the back for having done so much. By 23rd you might even be celebrating. Indeed, by investing in your skills, talents and basic needs, your financial position could improve - possibly to the point where you feel you can make an investment (28th /29th) when a bargain-basement price is available. If you do take this route, it's likely to be in partnership with someone who has considerable experience and whose intuition and financial acumen is in fine condition.
