Daily Horoscopes
Tuesday 1st August 2006
It's probable that others want to you to take responsibility. It's equally likely that you're so involved with a project that you can't relinquish responsibility easily. Even so, you could run up against someone who thinks they're as determined as you are (they're not) and that you could end up in a war where it's your passion versus theirs.

Wednesday 2nd August 2006
Be prepared for the fact that you might want MORE - of EVERYTHING! You might need more space, to better taken care of, to have more excitement and even more food. Then question what all this is about. You're on the threshold of BIG change and you probably want to feel you can cope. Support's most likely to come from advisors and friends whose reactions are more subtle than yours - and from whom you could learn a great deal.

Thursday 3rd August 2006
It may be that you need to deliver a good deed by stealth: you might wish to play the role of magician and confess to knowing nothing when others ask what happened. In short, though your actions might be worthy of the bright-lights, that may not be what's driving you at all. In helping others you might also be reaching a part of yourself that recognises vulnerability - which could also lead to you agreeing to take responsibility for someone who can't cope presently.

Friday 4th August 2006
Momentous decisions could be your thing presently - and could put you on collision course with another part of you that just wants to play. Of course, you might decide to make the most of this moment knowing that as of Monday you'll have new responsibilities to contend with. You might also be tempted off the straight and narrow by someone who's just passing through.

Saturday 5th August 2006
Your memory may be playing tricks on you: or it could be that someone's enjoying teasing you. Light-hearted as all this might be, what's stirred up could yield a valuable truth: that there are certain people who're REALLY important to you and whom you need to keep within your web. To do this might mean suggesting an event you'll share in the future - and beginning the planning process.

Sunday 6th August 2006
It might be helpful to think of yourself as a machine that needs regular fuel. It's possible that you've had too many of the wrong sort of meals 'on the run'. In short, your system could be playing up. Allowing someone born under one of the Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces) to spoil you might be no bad thing and could help restore balance.

Monday 7th August 2006
You may feel as though the buck is well and truly stopping with you. An expert's opinion could be expensive yet increase your authority. The needs of people from other generations may need to be taken into account. It's also possible that you'll be ready to take a big step in the relationship stakes.

Tuesday 8th August 2006
Friends who've known you for ages and who've been privy to all you've gone through in recent months are likely to be the first to wish you well and to urge you to enjoy a moment of success. They might also sense that your passion-volume is turned up and that you need to be allowed to make one of your grand gestures.

Wednesday 9th August 2006
Close friends may have a lot to say. Their delivery could be less than diplomatic however. This could provide merriment, but might as easily catch you on the raw. It's likely too that you need a little more time to adjust to recent changes and so could be particularly grateful to Virgo and Libra friends who smooth your path.

Thursday 10th August 2006
You may well have mediumistic or healing abilities. A situation could arise where someone needs help and you're there at the 'right' moment. Though you might not understand what's happening (unusual energies could flow through you), you could effect extraordinary magic. All this could leave you disorientated. Don't be surprised if you mislay something or end up somewhere you never consciously intended.

Friday 11th August 2006
It's possible that someone's trying to pull the wool over your eyes - but for the best of intentions. A fact and figures mentality is unlikely to seal deals presently and those close to you might recognise that they need to add an extra dimension. Having faith in someone who sees omens and signs in strange places - and whose financial acumen is excellent - shouldn't be seen as a sign of weakness. Positive deviation is likely to work for you presently.

Saturday 12th August 2006
It might suit you to let others know you have valuable insights. You could push this too far though and upset someone born under one of the Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces). It may be that you're trying to push them faster that they can cope with. In consequence, you could find yourself at the heart of an emotional storm.

Sunday 13th August 2006
You could so easily lose patience with anyone whose reactions don't seem fast enough. You might also walk away from someone who appears too emotionally vulnerable for you to cope with at present. This doesn't mean you don't care. It's possible though that you need to find personal inner harmony before you can help. You might also need advice from an 'expert'.

Monday 14th August 2006
Your stubborn streak could show and/or you could prove that your bark is worse than your bite. The point in all this is that your thinking might not be all what it seems. Of course, you might simply wish to keep someone on their toes. It might also be that you've found an imaginative away around a problem but don't want all and sundry to know that you're actually doing a u-turn. The effect in the romantic area of your life could be comic.

Tuesday 15th August 2006
The urge to contact someone you haven't seen in ages may be irresistible. It's as likely that you'll be probing the depths of a passion (hobby or love-related). First though you may need to get round an obstacle (which is where that old contact might come in). Negotiating difficulties and coercing others to help (albeit perhaps with a little emotional blackmail) could put you back in the driving seat and recharge your batteries.

Wednesday 16th August 2006
Your batteries may be well on the way to being recharged. The process could be helped by being near water or being close to someone born under one of the Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces). It might also be that you're now in the midst of change that could be described as dramatic. The assistance of a Taurus friend who shows understanding and talks you through practicalities could be invaluable.

Thursday 17th August 2006
Your batteries may now be recharged. The need to improve your nest - and close relationships - may have built a well of desire to please those who're helping you over hurdles. Today's little 'local difficulties' could take the form of trying to get round parking restrictions or travel documentation. Delivery and pick-up times might require careful orchestration.

Friday 18th August 2006
The need for new horizons continues. If property's been a bug-bear up until now, that might still continue. What's interesting now is that so many people are aware that you're seeking change, expansion and re-energising. Another person born under one of the Fire signs could promote a new way of looking at this: they might suggest you pay someone to do the leg-work for you.

Saturday 19th August 2006
Your memory is likely to be work over-time. Triggered by a powerful smell or scent, you could remember scenes vividly - surprising someone who thought you'd forgotten incidents entirely. You might astound yourself too: by showing financial acumen you didn't know you had. Being near both fire and water (or sun and sea) might cause you to vibrate at a higher mental level than usual - and re-discover a talent in the process.

Sunday 20th August 2006
Memories could still be dictating the pace. At times you might even feel overwhelmed and paralysed. It's possible that the cost of preserving something you've cherished is wholly unrealistic though. You might need to let this go and view the act as making space for something new and, eventually, equally memorable: a point which could be brought home by someone whose ability to tune into your deepest passions never fails to surprise.

Monday 21st August 2006
It might seem that you're chasing butterflies. Understanding the rules of a game (especially a romantic one) could be tricky. At another level, a design might now be too intricate to be practical. You could be impressed though by a Capricorn who knows how to attract quality without it costing a fortune. Working together you could bend a rule to suit you both.

Tuesday 22nd August 2006
You could decide to make a completely over-the-top gesture. The urge to relate to someone who needs to see just how committed you are is likely to be very great. To get their full attention, you could stamp your foot, shout - or make a quality and classic display of intention (proposal?!). Property matters still seem high on your agenda. This time it might be height of a different kind that's involved: the merits of tall windows and high ceilings could be discussed.

Wednesday 23rd August 2006
With the New Moon you could put a financial fresh foot forward. New developments in property and domestic issues that have dominated for ages are possible. Thanks to someone who's done homework on your behalf, you could be introduced to a new area or asked to consider options you've never even considered; let alone rejected. Meanwhile, a friend might be enjoying your way of seeing symbolism and might want to know more about your take on the mysteries of life.

Thursday 24th August 2006
Thanks to someone who's been working on your behalf, you could at last find a 'treasure'. Though unwilling to declare your hand too quickly, you might be intrigued to find out more about the history of a place and why you seem to be pulled toward it. You might also wonder why an old friend (lover?) has made contact: it's just possible that they need your help to move their life forward.

Friday 25th August 2006
You might feel as though you're part of a double act. (At another level you might even wish you had two mobile phones). Plural everything could be the order of the day. In negotiations this could prove confusing. It may be that different currencies are involved or that there's more than one way of arriving at a price. You might then be grateful to someone who has no problem thinking of several things at once - and has a track record that proves they're excellent at multi-tasking.

Saturday 26th August 2006
If today were music, it could be 'classical' - jazz comes tomorrow. The same is true in fashion: it's formal today, casual tomorrow. In relationships it's obligations to old friends now, and exploring new contacts tomorrow. Old-fashioned courtesies could be both extended and received today - and you could be drawn to someone who seems as though they've come from another century.

Sunday 27th August 2006
Today's free and easy 'jazz' style could bring you into contact with people who make things look simple but who are, in fact, experts. And yes, you could be really turned on by someone who manages to cast a spell around you. You're likely to be even more loving and giving than usual - which could result in you willingly doing what you can to help people you'll never even meet.

Monday 28th August 2006
The more you learn, the more perceptive your questions become. You might now be ready to ask awkward questions or to have these asked for you (by a lawyer or other expert). You might also discover another layer to an enthusiasm (though some friends might think you're becoming obsessive). Investing in a hobby or new friendship seems probable.

Tuesday 29th August 2006
Once again, it's activity in the nest or property area of your solar chart that's most prominent. Though later you might have something to celebrate, it's probable that there's much to be done before you can achieve this. You could send a few people off on various errands on your behalf. Even if they're 'experts' they may not work to time as you'd wish though. Chasing them for feedback and up to date news seems likely.

Wednesday 30th August 2006
Excited as you may be about developments, the knowledge that you've got this far before only to be disappointed could leave you perilously 'close to the edge'. Friends and colleagues could find you hard to handle. They might not know which way your mood could go - and neither might you. Others too could be in similarly unsettled humour. Making good nourishment a priority could save the day. It might also bring you admiring glances from someone who perhaps has never seen your 'medicine-man' sub-personality at work.

Thursday 31st August 2006
A challenge you took on a little less than a year ago could now move to the next phase. Though at times disillusioned, you may now have a much clearer idea of an objective. Your love-life could subtly benefit - you may be expecting less and receiving more. The child in you could come out to play - especially at an ice-rink, indoor bowling or in anything where items or people slide across a floor. A Pisces might suggest this.

Weekly Horoscopes
Week Beginning Sunday 6th August 2006
On Monday, the Sun aligns with Saturn in your sign. You could think of this as a musical chord: it could mark either an ending or a beginning. Either way it seems you are the conductor of the orchestra: you might need a pause for the audience to cough and shuffle in their eats. It might not be until after Wednesday's Full Moon or even Mercury reaching the position it held way back in early July (on Friday August 11th), before you're sure what you want to do next. What seems likely is that you'll be willing to listen to others and to dream a little. You might also need time out for recent good behaviour! Rewarding yourself for having come this far might not be such a bad idea: perhaps by visiting a club or large-scale event on Saturday.

Week Beginning Sunday 13th August 2006
With the Sun, Mercury and Venus all in your sign, you'd expect things to be going your way. Certainly there are signs that Monday will get off to a promising start and that sufficient progress will be made by Thursday. There may be costs involved though. Sure, you could be treating yourself whilst on holiday - and so rejuvenating. At work it's as likely that you'll be all fired up with enthusiasm and that together with people who find this infectious, by Thursday be pushing through a workload that a few weeks ago would have seemed unrealistic. The only problem in all this seems to be that details could get over-looked or that you could sabotage your own progress by a love interest (or holiday romance). For whatever reason it appears you might have some explaining to do on Friday and that talking yourself out of trouble will be necessary.

Week Beginning Sunday 20th August 2006
You could be run ragged early this week as you arrange for documents to be where they need to be - and accurately completed. (Though it could as easily be you that's causing others to run themselves into the ground). By late Tuesday you may be in very different mood: and your extravagant sub-personality could be bursting at the seams for attention. It may be that you're turned on by a new style or by the possibility of a travel adventure that would take you somewhere that's held fascination for years and where, you sense, you could experience an emotional shift. The need to dabble with something unknown in an unfamiliar field and to share ideas with those who work in an industry that demands quick reactions could lead to interesting developments and might even lead to an impromptu conference on Friday. What may become apparent then is that your status has changed and that others are looking to you for leadership.

Week Beginning Sunday 27th August 2006
You might soon be ready to celebrate a stage in a production or project that began less than a year ago, has caused you untold extra hours of work, but which now looks set to be comfortably 'on its way'. It's possible that close colleagues need to mark this moment too. Discussing both how to do this and outlining the next phase could actually be enthralling. On Tuesday, and thanks to an imaginative idea proposed by someone born under Cancer or Pisces, you could set a ball rolling. Despite your best efforts, you could hit a difficulty on Thursday when what was suggested as being easy and cost-effective, shows signs of being anything but. The difference between you and others is that you're not likely to be put off this time around. Indeed, demanding quotes in writing and ensuring that the details are sorted first, ensures you don't fall into earlier traps and should leave you, by Friday, feeling in control.

Weekend (Love) Horoscopes
The Weekend of Friday 4th August 2006
It's Monday when the Sun and Saturn align in your sign - and when relationship issues could be most burning. For some months you may have been preparing to make a commitment, now you may be on the edge of doing just that. This might not feel like fun at all. Indeed, you may be having real doubts as to whether or not you're doing the 'right' thing. The advice and support of older people could be hugely helpful: at the same time you may think these same people are getting in your way. You may need time off for 'good behaviour' on Saturday. Even then you're likely to take partying seriously - and could spend a small fortune going to a dark but classy place and then setting up in competition with someone who seems equally determined to have a good time.

The Weekend of Friday 11th August 2006
Mercury arrives back in your sign on Friday and threads left dangling at the end of June/start of July, can now be picked up again. What might surprise you is the change in someone since that time. This could be confusing: you might even spend much of the next few days wondering if you've said 'the wrong thing' or what, exactly, someone wants from you. Thinking too much might only result in a headache on Saturday. Listening to the silence between words and observing body language could tell you more. There's fluidity to the aspects this weekend which might result in people wanting to move around more. Dance, music and sports could all be high profile. In the romance stakes 'musical-chairs' is a possibility too.

The Weekend of Friday 18th August 2006
If the next few days were a textile, it would probably be a mix of velvet/chenille (Friday) with sequins (Saturday) and finished off with lace (Sunday). Richness, followed by something catching and teasing and concluding with elegance and style might be another way of describing these next few days. Friday seems likely to hold promise and a wealth of subtle undertones and overtones. On Saturday there might be cause for sharp intake of breath as it becomes apparent that Friday's promise was the start of something big. There's something a little hard and unexpected about Saturday though - which could result in anything from tiny accidents to sharp words and to moments of bizarre humour. By Sunday, awareness that someone needs you to adjust the passion controls and to appreciate the finer points, could result in you experiencing new sensations.

The Weekend of Friday 25th August 2006
This weekend Venus (planet of love) aligns with Saturn - in your sign. Saturn is the planet of commitment. So it's probable that you'll be thinking seriously where relationships are concerned. You might also pay more attention than usual to the issue of age. Friday's fun and games might quickly be forgotten as you wrestle with deeper issues: particularly how much you want to be with someone. Your relationship with things and places could come under your personal microscope too. It might be interesting to analyse just how much effort you're prepared to go to in the interest of preservation. On a different level entirely, you could be drawn to quality items (especially jewels) and to people who have a great sense of style and who are clearly respected. Sunday might even find you making a grand gesture to show how much you apparently have in common. In terms of romance then, it seems you'll be treading new waters.

Monthly Horoscope
The Month of August 2006
Commercial dealings are likely to improve after Mercury reaches your sign on August 11th. At this point, it will have completed a loop begun in early July. Steps you were about to take then could come back for review - and at different prices. Between 4th and 7th you could reach a personal deadline when the degree to which you invest in yourself and close relationships requires assessment - possibly triggered by outside forces. Cash flow could prove tight until 13th, when the situation could ease - even if only for a few days. A 'bargain' or series of commercial good-calls could be made between 13th and 17th. The following week, you could feel financially held back by close associates who, between 20th and 22nd, are reluctant to spend. You might manage to persuade them to spread risk or accept a different financial split before 24th - though it could take until 28th for this to be formalised. Though pleased that you've got your way (and possibly giving cause for celebration on 29th), the changing nature of a partnership could leave you feeling unsure on 31st.
