Daily Horoscopes
Tuesday 1st August 2006
You might need to let others have their say - even if you then need to spend time sitting on the fence. Though drawn back (at extreme levels by the wishes of someone in a legacy) you might also need to move forward - and at speed. Making changes to your personal space (home improvements) could be encouraged by someone who knows you well, knows that you don't take this action often and that you really need to see improvements NOW.
Wednesday 2nd August 2006
You could be blown away with the breadth of someone's ideas - or, at another level, you could be debilitated by the over-richness of a food. The point in all this is that your comfort zone seems about to be extended. Exciting as this may be (and it could bring some really interesting people into your life), there's danger from being offered too much and not being given enough time to assimilate ideas and emotions.
Thursday 3rd August 2006
It might suit you to be the one who tips off friends as to how they could help others. Playing the role of stage-manager could suit you. It's as likely that someone (a relative) may be trying to do something for you. You may need to make space for them to do their thing. At a different level, you might benefit from a walk near water with someone you can confide in who, as it happens, might have an idea they'd like to discuss further.
Friday 4th August 2006
Over the next few days, the family buck could land at your feet. Another possibility is that you'll decide the time's right for you to look after an heirloom. Preserving resources could also take on new importance - as could the need to anchor yourself in a new way. Possibly because it's tax efficient (or because you think property's a safe bet), you could decide to make a commitment to a place.
Saturday 5th August 2006
The process of searching (a part for something or a receipt) seems likely to continue. It's also possible that you'll attract friends who want to share secrets - not all of which you might want to hear. News concerning someone who tends to be larger than life could take you aback. Menawhile a shopping trip (boot fair?) could turn into a treasure hunt.
Sunday 6th August 2006
Just when others think they've got you taped, you may be about to show that you're as capable of doing the unexpected as the best of them. Though it's likely you'll make it absolutely clear that you've come to the end of one chapter, you might also show that you're not only opening up another stream of interest, but this time you're wholly aware of the dimensions involved. Taking a stance is likely.
Monday 7th August 2006
You may have dropped anchor and found a place where you're more than happy to just 'be'. It's also possible that you've shifted up the responsibility ladder (probably within the family). A piece of heavy furniture or the contents of an old locker (or equivalent) could have significant impact. Insurance may be involved.
Tuesday 8th August 2006
You may be involved in the relationship equivalent of knitting a complicated aran pattern. Bringing together people with diverse talents - including at least one person whose talents have for too long been hidden, could be pleasurably exciting though. Employing thrift management techniques and meshing these with developing needs could keep you happily on your toes.
Wednesday 9th August 2006
It's probable that you'll give voice to what you really want to do - even knowing that the action could disturb good friends. You might sense that unless you're clear as to what really matters to you, you could be caught in an action-replay of a movie you've played a part in all too often in the past. If this is a cosmic test in whether or not you've learnt by experience, you may be about to pass with flying colours.
Thursday 10th August 2006
Quirky neighbours or a distinctive accent could capture your attention. Sure, there could be misunderstandings and irritation: it's as likely that there'll be moments of great humour (except if cars or parking are involved). On the down-side, it's possible that a leak could sabotage a trip - or that someone's drinking habits will affect a schedule.
Friday 11th August 2006
A kitchen or bathroom could preoccupy you: you might want to change the layout. If on holiday, the sea or water could have big influence too. It's possible though that whilst enjoying an escapade away from your usual scene, that you'll identify a goal that's likely to increase in importance over the next year. This could be property-related.
Saturday 12th August 2006
You may sense that you're about to tell it like it is (but tomorrow). Today's for pulling the right people on side. You may have reason to be grateful to someone who's in a position of power (though not of authority) and can let certain individuals know what you want. Midst all this, passions and enthusiasm could be turned on to the point where even you're using unusual vocabulary - much to the amusement of Libra and Sagittarius' born friends.
Sunday 13th August 2006
Your stubborn streak could surface! Determination to find an exact colour match or the perfect gift, could result in an extended shopping trip. Friends are likely to intrude on your plans - and probably because they want to know if they can count you 'in'. Having you on 'their side' might be seen as the ace in their pack.
Monday 14th August 2006
The need to taste something different could lead you to trying out a new recipe - or even to test-driving a new car (and a myriad of experiences in between). It's possible too that a long-held view will be challenged by someone who really 'does it differently' - and who saves time and money in the process. Rapport with someone born under Leo or Pisces (the two drama signs of the zodiac) could improve when you see them using their talents to great effect.
Tuesday 15th August 2006
Financial matters might require undivided attention. The importance of thrift and/or of taking action to reduce tax liabilities could be brought home to you by someone who's been in your position and been caught out in the past. A close friend or partner might have similar advice: in their case they may know of an expert (family contact) who can guide you through a minefield.
Wednesday 16th August 2006
Even if on holiday, news from home base could give you a lift. Changes in your neighbourhood could offer cost-savings. It's news concerning a younger person who's been unwell that could cause you to count blessings though. It might also trigger a shopping trip for a special gift. A very close friend might suggest that you schedule the replacement of a large item (a car?) or make significant repairs to what you already own.
Thursday 17th August 2006
You might be happy to place a down-payment now that you're clear about what will be provided. Or it could be that you decide to open a savings account and squirrel something away. The idea of starting something small and building could really appeal. The concept might be sponsored by a close. Renovating an area of your home is likely - with space-clearing high priority.
Friday 18th August 2006
There may be more going out cash-wise than coming in. Yet you could be delighted with purchases. A bundle of goods (or large discount) could really make your day. News from someone long-distant could cause you to wonder the nature of your relationship - you might even have regrets that it isn't more. Closer to home, a younger person's decorating plans could cause you a little anxiety.
Saturday 19th August 2006
Contact with mission control could be frequent. Even if on holiday, it might not be possible to escape news (albeit exciting) from someone who just can't wait for your return. Levels of excitement generally could be high - particularly when someone 'remembers' something that would have been really useful to know earlier! The ensuing chaos could have its funny side though.
Sunday 20th August 2006
Taurus people know that music is the food of love - and that chocolate and other luxuries are too! It might suit you to tease someone's taste buds and to remind them of meals you've shared before. You might also want to discuss how you're going to spend leisure time together in the months ahead - and how food and cooking can play a more central role.
Monday 21st August 2006
News might not be what you (or a close relative) wants it to be. Plans may need to be changed or negotiations begun. You might also have to cope with a leak (from an upstairs room) - and which may have spoilt some wooden furniture. Whilst writing a letter, you could discover fluency with words and a way of making someone feel they'll be letting you (and themselves) down if they don't accede to your request.
Tuesday 22nd August 2006
True, you could be in 'excess mode' and might spend more than is wise. You might be looking for a particular gift though. The urge to improve your nest may be great - and could result in you buying a large piece of furniture or at least giving thought to a renovation project. Thoughts of a relative could recur frequently: perhaps you can only sympathise with what they're dealing with.
Wednesday 23rd August 2006
In the hours before the New Moon (19.10GMT) you could feel disorientated - though perhaps aware that planning leisure should be on your agenda. The good news is that someone younger, but very close, might already have something in mind. A side effect may be that the fashion stakes are raised - with you introduced to a concept that at first seems too wild, (animal print?) but later feels just right.
Thursday 24th August 2006
You could open up a branch of 'negotiationsRus': though your ability to deal and find a bargain may be enhanced by working as part of a team. Enthusiasm for a home improvement is likely to grow with encouragement from someone who knows what you've been coping with for some time. Your creativity could be triggered into action too and could lead to you starting a DIY or craft project.
Friday 25th August 2006
Your social life could take off. Involvement in a group seems likely. Though not necessarily the leader, your role as 'stage manager' may be essential. Romance might not be far from the agenda either: at the very least you could watch the early stages of a 'mating game' where you've acted as match-maker. Another variation on this could be 'mixing and matching' both in the fashion department and with a recipe.
Saturday 26th August 2006
This could be a day for home and hearth. On holiday that could translate to looking after yourself and relatives by choosing or preparing a meal. At home, energies could be directed toward home decoration and ensuring that a kitchen area is welcoming. It's possible too that the needs of other generations will need to be taken into account - and that you'll spend time acknowledging a relationship that no-one thought would last - but has.
Sunday 27th August 2006
There might be no limit to how much you're prepared to do for some people. Sure, your guilt buttons may have been pressed. It's as likely that even without this you'd be happy to help out. A companion could find your reaction charming and wonderful. Just helping you do what you need to do might bring them pleasure - and bring the two of you even closer.
Monday 28th August 2006
Don't be surprised if strangers ask you the way or if you're asked to help someone unfamiliar with a system. A partner's need to discuss developments is also likely to put you in the position of 'wise one'. Contact with a health professional is probable too. This could lead to a discussion about habits and how to break them. The discussion itself could help you come to a conclusion about a diet.
Tuesday 29th August 2006
Dividing your time between those who really need your help and those who just 'don't know what to do' could be taxing. At several times the 'bull' in you may want to charge. Yet with a group of friends celebrating a success (or at least the final stages of a project), you may be tempted to tell someone to grow-up and stop whinging. A Sagittarius with whom you've been working might have creative ideas as to how your collaboration could continue.
Wednesday 30th August 2006
It might seem that someone is only seeing the negative. Their half-glass empty approach could drain your batteries: or it could prompt you to rise to an unspoken challenge. The bull in you could come out once more. You could show determination and persistence and effectively wear someone down by chipping away at an argument or apparent problem. On another wavelength entirely you could replace items for a bathroom, kitchen or even your make-up bag and effect a 'face-lift'.
Thursday 31st August 2006
You might still be wondering how best you can cheer an area (or a tired wardrobe). Your ability to make do and mend and to mix and match is likely to surface. Ethnic designs could capture your attention: as could someone who hails from an exotic part of the world and who, perhaps, understands the meaning of a pattern you're attracted to. Through this person - or because you're turned on by something you hear on a radio - you could also discover interest in a new sound and rhythm.
Weekly Horoscopes
Week Beginning Sunday 6th August 2006
The Sun and Saturn align every year - but they won't do so at the bottom of your chart very often. So Monday marks a moment: the closing of a chapter and soon, the opening of another. It would be understandable if you were to feel exhausted and, perhaps, more than a little irritated with some people who're still harping on about issues that were left behind weeks ago. You might also crave getting your teeth into someone new - and, quite probably, property-related. Taureans are supposedly the master-craftspeople of the zodiac. Over the next few days, allowing the creative part of your brain to play may be essential. By Friday, taking an idea first raised late June/early July, could feel urgent. First though you may need to make arrangements to meet with someone who's presently away and whose return you're now eagerly awaiting.
Week Beginning Sunday 13th August 2006
Getting your act together is likely to be easy on Monday. Better still, you may find you don't have to do much to persuade close colleagues or even those in your wider network to go along with plans. You might like to think of yourself as a key voice in a choir. This state of affairs is likely to last until at least Thursday. Through this period not only might you be consolidating your position, you might also show others how to 'win friends and influence people'. You could almost move mountains. News reaching you late on Thursday might remind you of disquiet and/or financial worries that still haven't been resolved, which in turn could lead to a flurry of calls on Friday. Problems could still resolve though - leaving ample time for an impromptu party to develop before the weekend is fully underway.
Week Beginning Sunday 20th August 2006
Despite some stress on Monday when deliveries might not happen as planned and/or when a leak could be uncovered, you could make significant progress later this week (after Wednesday's New Moon). What seemed like wasted energy earlier could prove to have done the trick by Thursday. You might even reach a 'meeting of minds'. (Other people's wavelengths might not matter quite as much next week). It's possible that you'll have occasion to say 'see, I was right' midweek - (though that might not be your best ploy). The chances are that you will convert someone to your way of thinking and the stubborn stance you might appear to have taken, is proved to have been the right one - at least for now. The chance to reflect on your own position and to add to 'demands' is probable on Thursday. That might then leave time on Friday for you to talk to friends who've been on the sidelines and might appreciate knowing the inside story.
Week Beginning Sunday 27th August 2006
Three 'up-beat' aspects form this week. The first, on Monday, suggests good dialogue with someone you've been working with closely since September 2005. It's possible that a project that's been building since then may be moving toward a fanfare launch this September. Though financially this may not have been the most rewarding work you've ever done, it's probable that it's this effort that will open many doors in the coming year. Tuesday could prove a physically and emotionally demanding day (possibly because someone's away and you're also carrying their work-load). If on holiday, you may find you end up carrying more items - again for others rather than yourself. Midweek you could tune in to 'good' vibes that suggest there's more tolerance around than there has been and that there is light at the end of a tunnel. Indeed, on Friday (which could be a fabulous day for romance too), one of your pet ideas could be seized on and shown to be potentially commercially valuable.
Weekend (Love) Horoscopes
The Weekend of Friday 4th August 2006
It's actually Monday when the Sun and Saturn accent the base of your solar chart. Even before then though you may be aware of the need to make emotional commitment and/or to improve your home base. (Even on holiday you might not be happy until you're sure you're stocked up well enough to survive any misfortune). Awareness that 'nothing lasts for ever' could lead to you both considering what you want the future to be - and determining which elements of the past you want to keep. All this could have impact on your wardrobe: blending classic with up-to-date fashion offers one kind of challenge. Another kind of test may be presented by a relative and yet another by a voice from your past that's determined to be heard.
The Weekend of Friday 11th August 2006
Mystified by someone's behaviour and confused when even people you thought you knew well play the eccentric card, you might not know quite what to do on Friday. You might sense someone's interest - yet not know how to entertain them. It's as likely that they're thinking the same thing about you. You might both benefit from not talking and simply sharing space together. Far from being the calm before the storm, enjoying even chaotic space might also lead to you smiling - and then laughing - when you realise you've been sharing the same wavelength all along. On Sunday you might even fall into a routine where one of you is the champion and the other the coach. This alignment could yet result in you developing into a winning team.
The Weekend of Friday 18th August 2006
The green-eyed monster could surface on Friday - or you might be reminded of its existence by the behaviour of a colleague. Gossip could be a real problem. It might be tempting to remind someone that they're in danger of operating double-standards. It's not all bad news on Friday though; you could be instrumental in match-making that causes phone lines and emails to buzz through Saturday (not that you need the constant updates -though you could be a tad interested in the outcome of your introduction). Saturday promises fun and games with neighbours and people you've known for ages. It also has an 'impromptu' party-air to it. So it could be Sunday before you finally arrive at private time. Even then it might take you a few hours to rediscover the language of love and to use it. Given the busy week ahead, this could be a useful exercise.
The Weekend of Friday 25th August 2006
Two slow aspects don't become exact until the last days of the month. However, this weekend, Venus (your ruling planet) is locked into the approaching formation. This suggests you might be 'ahead of the game' and could have an important role to play. The history of a partnership could hold you back on Saturday. It's then that you might want to do all you can to please someone you've been bonded to for oh-so-long. Yet you might each be realising that if your friendship is to survive, then you need to cut one another some slack. It's part of your make-up to be gracious and so it shouldn't be too hard to give way on Sunday if that's what's needed to let someone know just how much you really care. In dress terms, this would be akin to going from formal wear to something very, very floaty. In short, unconditional love could become the dominating theme.
Monthly Horoscope
The Month of August 2006
It will be August next year before Saturn concludes its journey across the base of your solar chart. During the intervening period, Neptune opposes this position. This combination (exact at the end of this month) is not an easy one where finances are concerned. True, you may be building an investment portfolio that will eventually grow wildly. In the short term though, cash difficulties could arise. The saving grace this month is likely to come through a close associate who attracts luck or whose financial acumen rubs off on you. After a slow (and heavy) start to the month, improvement could be felt around the last quarter Moon (in your sign) on 16th. It's at this point that you might feel something you've invested so much time and effort in, will (eventually) pay off. The art may be in not expecting too much too soon - especially around 21st. By 24th you might have something to (cautiously) celebrate. Whatever this is could encourage you to make a significant purchase around 28th/29th which is very much an 'investment' and which could bring rewards in late November.
