Daily Horoscopes
Tuesday 1st August 2006
What you're told 'on the quiet' could have profound effect on your decision-making. With change in the air you might not sure whether to believe someone who's long expertise in their field is at odds with someone who's using unusual techniques but who might be more in tune with the times. Midst all this, having a friend you can trust to talk to could be imperative. A Scorpio or Taurus could be worth their weight in gold.
Wednesday 2nd August 2006
It's possible that someone's use of language has managed to turn a key in your back and that you're now on the defensive - when you needn't be. Mis-translation and background noise could mean that you're not receiving the best signals (which could affect your love life as well as your working life). It's possible too that you could experience aches and pains that seem out of proportion. Chances are that you've set yourself an unrealistic goal and that you need quality time out.
Thursday 3rd August 2006
Someone whom you think of as family (but probably isn't) may need your assistance. Effecting a small miracle (for them) might not be difficult. Slightly more complicated may be explaining to someone who thinks they come at the top of your list, that someone's need is great but that your feelings for them haven't changed: unconditional versus romantic love could be the big theme.
Friday 4th August 2006
You could spend huge amounts of time dithering: whether you're choosing colours for redecoration or deciding whether or not you really should get rid of (sell) an item. This could be a real crisis of confidence. It might also be that someone's ideas of a schedule are so alien to you that you don't feel you can work with them. The good news is that someone who knows you both probably can work with you both - and may be willing to act as referee.
Saturday 5th August 2006
Making room for a piece of family furniture might require intensive space-clearing. That could apply on a mental level too: consciously consigning certain thoughts to a mental dust-bin could be healthy and might coincide with someone suggesting that it's time you stopped carrying around emotional baggage that has no function whatsoever - other than making you unhappy.
Sunday 6th August 2006
You might already have been knocked off your axis by an Aquarius (or by someone whose quirky behaviour you should have come to expect but haven't!). Part of you might be enjoying disruption to routine. Another part could so easily fall into panic-mode. It might help to ask yourself the question: 'just when exactly have I not been able to cope? Chances are the present day worries might simply be draining your batteries - which you don't need.
Monday 7th August 2006
True, you could suffer a real crisis of confidence. You might also be ready to stand up and be counted. It's possible that someone's pushed you too far. It may be necessary to pay for an expert's opinion either to help with a child's needs or to improve your skill in a hobby. Another possibility is greater involvement in a children's charity.
Tuesday 8th August 2006
A blast from your past has the potential to unsettle your day. A related phone call could prove extra-long. News might be surprising, but you might be reminded by a good friend that you're hearing just what you need to hear. Your skills as a strategist may be required if progress is to be made. This could mean working after hours or using your vast network of acquaintances to achieve the impossible.
Wednesday 9th August 2006
The differences between people often forms the glue that keeps them together. Just how elastic this glue is could be tested - and probably by a domestic incident that initially seems minor. It may be that you want to make alterations and meet resistance. It's possible too that whereas you're working from a logical position (this time), the other person is highly emotional - and, to you, unreasonable.
Thursday 10th August 2006
You could be rocked by news from someone you regard as family (even if they aren't) and wonder again why you didn't pick up on signals. Domestic arrangements could demand extra attention too: it may be that you have a literal or a financial leak that requires action. It's possible too that someone creative is now buzzing around and filling you head with 'what could be'.
Friday 11th August 2006
Financial resources could be affected by the need to make a repair. Though you may have put something by 'for emergencies', the sum involved could be greater than expected. Sure, if on holiday you may be ready for expenses that are above normal. Even so, the emotional and health costs might not have been factored in. For this reason you may be grateful to an Aquarius who's willing to negotiate a good deal on your behalf.
Saturday 12th August 2006
A relationship may be reaching snapping point. It's possible though that you're as turned on by someone's bizarre ideas as you are repelled by their apparent inability to arrive at a decision about your future together. Of course, this might not apply to a person at all: it could be your rapport with a machine that's been stretched to breaking point - which could result in you deciding to replace this item as soon as you can afford to.
Sunday 13th August 2006
It may be that you need to look over the relationship precipice before you decide just how much effort you're prepared to put into a particular union. Soon there could be reason to celebrate. For now you may need to weigh up your respective ethical codes and family traditions. In this, the wisdom of someone from your extended family (and who probably lives a long way away) could be really helpful.
Monday 14th August 2006
Attraction to people who think 'differently' is likely. (You might also decide you need to know more about astrology). The scientific part of your brain could move into a new gear. Questions are likely to flow easily. A major difference is that these are likely to be more focused. You might also gain the quiet satisfaction of observing a Leo or Aquarius considering what you have to say and change direction as a result.
Tuesday 15th August 2006
A make-over of some sort seems likely. This could be more about your personal space than actual looks. It might also be that you're actively making room for a new project. Concern about someone close is likely could give rise if to a visit to a place known for its restorative therapies. In this setting you too could receive a boost: proving that laughter is a good medicine.
Wednesday 16th August 2006
Change might have been thrust upon you. You might also be surprised at the way in which others are reacting to the chaos that's going on around them. If on holiday this could provide much to laugh about, Within the business world you might not be entirely sure that someone's going to keep their side of a bargain and so allow you to settle into a situation with as much ease as possible.
Thursday 17th August 2006
It's likely that you're building up a head of steam. You could be really productive. You might also coerce a few people into joining your team. Your ability to waste-manage and to recycle seems likely to mark you out from the crowd. What might surprise even you, is the extent to which you're willing to stand your ground to ensure that something old is given respect and care.
Friday 18th August 2006
Your schedule's likely to be dictated by friends. Indeed, many people might want 'a piece of you'. This could result in you making many short journeys and making and taking more calls than usual. In particular, you may be asked to help with waste disposal and/or to give advice to someone wanting to get rid of unused items. Midst all this, you could hear from someone who's been doing their own clear-out and has located something that rightfully belongs to you.
Saturday 19th August 2006
You might be called upon to fix something that's precious to a friend. Though interruptions are likely to be frequent, you could make a real difference to a project. The arrival of documents might not be appealing: indeed, you could use the act of helping out a friend as displacement activity. Your curiosity about how someone charges fees could be aroused - and might affect your future planning.
Sunday 20th August 2006
Friends are likely to value your opinion and expertise. The assistance you give them might remind you of a passion you once shared - and could do again. Though there may be many moments when you feel you can't speak (for fear of betraying too much emotion) there may be as many when you feel that you really belong within an extended family. Indeed, just how important you are could be brought home by someone who's usually impetuous, makes it clear that without you, they wouldn't have courage to do anything.
Monday 21st August 2006
You could come up against an administrative brick wall. You might also need to arrange for a repair. An insurance claim may be necessary. A friend whose love life has gone pear-shaped might seek sanctuary and understanding. With all this pressure, your nervous system is likely to need extra care. You'd probably benefit from yoga and relaxation techniques too. The upside of the day is likely to come via a Leo whose theatrical approach to life makes you laugh.
Tuesday 22nd August 2006
Whilst part of a large group you could build friendship with a Leo or Scorpio. The attraction's likely to be their determination to find something that's 'perfect'. The Leo might be going about this in an obvious way, whilst the Scorpio is getting there by stealth. You could help both by introducing them to an expert. Indeed, it's through your network that a problem could be solved. This introduction could earn you extra points (and later, perhaps, a discount).
Wednesday 23rd August 2006
Today's New Moon in your sign is special. The fashionista in you could surface. So too could your ability to spot a trend. An Aquarius friend might be all too happy to join in discussions as to 'what could be'. Teaming up seems likely (and could have romantic spin-off). As importantly, you could surprise a Taurus with an idea that's space-saving, would reduce waste and is exceptionally creative.
Thursday 24th August 2006
Confidence could once again be growing - and could be fed by the fact that you've now identified a goal. You might need to work hard to persuade someone that you won't change your mind/move the goal-posts again and again. It might even be necessary to sign a contract. The past could have more meaning than usual: you may be asked by someone younger to explain what you know about travel arrangements to and from a place you once knew well.
Friday 25th August 2006
You might need to explore a topic that, at times, is 'taboo'. Now that you have someone you can confide in (probably born under Leo, Taurus or Scorpio), talking about what's worried you could prove therapeutic. What's discussed whilst travelling could be particularly important: it might help you arrive at a decision about a relationship and the effort you're willing to put into making it work (or not).
Saturday 26th August 2006
It might help to think of yourself as a production manager with 'curtain up' due at the end of the month. Today's rehearsal's likely to show up just how much you need to drum into some people the need to rehearse their lines. The point in all this, is that influencing others might require you to use a mix of charm and firmness: it's possible too that 'tough love' will be needed.
Sunday 27th August 2006
You may need to adjust your internal 'good cop, bad cop' routine. You may have been too hard on yourself - or others. Getting the balance right (especially since getting it wrong could be costing you money) might prove challenging! It's possible though that someone (probably an Aquarius) thinks you've been beating yourself up for too long. They might enjoy giving you a break.
Monday 28th August 2006
Your thrift and waste management techniques are likely to put you in the spotlight. You might also be asked to help with packing or archiving. Curbing messy (or even chaotic) tendencies, is likely to be easy: the need to impress being the driving force. A potential problem could surface though: leaving you to read the small print of a contract really carefully.
Tuesday 29th August 2006
Colleagues and friends may be looking to you to take the lead. They may be relying on you for information - and possibly for you to facilitate travel arrangements. Though delighted to be a key player in a group, it might take effort on your part to keep pressure under control. You could blow your top with anyone who messes you about!
Wednesday 30th August 2006
A neighbour or colleague that you've come to trust might have a suggestion as to how you could join forces and save cash. Cleaning or clearing could be involved. Their timing may be impeccable: an older person who's not functioning too well presently might need you. A shopping trip could take far longer than usual as you struggle to find items in an unfamiliar store. The quest might also prompt the decision to arrange an eye test!
Thursday 31st August 2006
What escaped your notice yesterday could come into full view today - possibly prompting more than one person to ask what was wrong with you before. You might need much of today too to process complex emotions. However, you might also be aware that you're gaining clarity about a situation and are now almost ready to make your mind up. It's likely that this involves giving up something that was once so precious. It's probable too that you've determined the advantages of being free from day to day responsibility.
Weekly Horoscopes
Week Beginning Sunday 6th August 2006
It's at the end of this week when Mercury (your ruling planet) catches up with a position held at the end of June. From then you're likely to feel you're in a new phase. Before then though there are a few hurdles to cross. Someone close may appear to be drawing into themselves - perhaps they're worried by the prospect of change. This might have effect on your confidence as to whether or not you're doing the 'right' thing. You might have issues to resolve with both a Cancer and an Aquarius both of whom, in their very different ways, could be fretting around Wednesday's Full Moon. Restoring order - or at least allowing some emotions to play out might be the best way forward on Thursday. With Friday's change of pace a new phase begins though - and one which, by your birthday, could really be something to celebrate.
Week Beginning Sunday 13th August 2006
You could view this week as offering a regenerating and rejuvenating experience. True, may signs might tune into this theme. It's possible that your own actions will be triggered by someone close who's decided that they need an adventure to recharge their batteries - and that you look as though you'd benefit from the same. They could be right. Indeed, little arm-twisting may be necessary on Monday when it seems you'll be primed to tune into opportunities. By midweek you could be really fired up and enjoying working (playing) with a team who're working towards the same goal. Achieving that by Thursday is possible. You might also have gone through the 'feel the fear and do it anyway' experience. Sure, a legacy might be left: you might never want to perform this exercise again - or you could be left working out how you can pay to do it again and again. Either of these options could leave you busy telling others all about it on Friday, in the process making it clear that you're now part of a special group.
Week Beginning Sunday 20th August 2006
Wednesday's New Moon is in your sign and might be said to start your personal New Year (an excuse for a celebration if you need one!). On Monday though you might be far more preoccupied with mopping up the past. Focus on the future might not be so easy to achieve. Thanks to good friends who're willing to sift through debris (and old papers) you could find the information you need on Tuesday, paving the way for a fresh start midweek. That could take oh-so-many forms of course: still, it's probable that you'll make significant change to a domestic scene (home insurance or even banking arrangements) that effectively remove irritations and conserve resources whilst positioning you to take advantage of bargains. The good will of people you'll probably never meet suggests that Thursday will be special.
Week Beginning Sunday 27th August 2006
On Friday (1st), the Sun and Mercury 'fuse' in your sign. That same day, a proposal that's been aired several times in recent years is likely to resurface. The difference this time is that you might now know with some clarity what it is that you want. Far from being a painful 'make your mind up time', this could be the platform for change you've been seeking for ages. It's heralded too by an aspect (on Tuesday) that's indicative of 'exciting developments'. You could be head-hunted, chased or otherwise courted. Of course you're now familiar with the unpredictability of others - and the usual negative outcome. Things may now be different. Though it's true that a 'disappointment' aspect is still at work, it could be that what's offered is the best offer that can be made under present circumstances. It might also be as much an escape route as an opportunity.
Weekend (Love) Horoscopes
The Weekend of Friday 4th August 2006
At least twice this weekend it might feel as though someone's playing tricks on you. Though you might be in the mood for a 'blind date' or at least willing to try a different relationship experience, you might also be fractionally wary - and with cause. For the last couple of years as Uranus has been making its way through your close partnerships department, spanners have been thrown in the works as many times as there's been potential delight in close unions. So, though on the one hand you may be ready for a little emotional shake-up, the emphasis is probably on the 'little'! Whether or not on Sunday, someone keeps a promise made on Saturday, you might still prefer to move ahead slowly - just as in a good old-fashioned courtship.
The Weekend of Friday 11th August 2006
A comment on Friday might leave you not knowing who you are or where you're going. Another possibility is that you know exactly what you're up to - but haven't yet worked out how to explain your actions to someone you're sure won't understand. Fantasies are in the air on Friday: amongst these, discussions as to whether you should combine resources. It's quite possible that the other person doesn't want to wait too long for an answer. Events could move swiftly over these few days. However, with Mars now in your sign and Uranus in your opposite sign, it's possible that too-great attraction will mean you end up repelling one another as quickly. You may need to think of yourself as an energy source with little thermostat control. So yes, on the one hand intense and lively relationship activity is likely. It might just be too hot to handle - and events move more quickly than you feel comfortable with - at least for now.
The Weekend of Friday 18th August 2006
A gift for probing beneath the surface could be apparent on Friday when you sense - long before others - just who's really interested in who. Though the temptation might be to say 'I told you so' on Saturday, you might do better to wait and see what unfolds a few days later. It's possible that there's even more going on. Another twist on all this is that you might be ready to confide in someone now that you trust has been built. Though they might not realise just what a treasure you're offering, they might at last tune in to the fact that you need private moments and that they need to factor these in to your days. All this could lead to an interesting Sunday when an exchange of views and willingness to share domestic-type chores offers evidence, if needed, that you really are growing closer.
The Weekend of Friday 25th August 2006
With the Sun and Moon in your sign on Friday and your ruling planet happily engaged with Jupiter, Friday could be special. The chance to meet new people and to exercise your brain cells and even stretch your limbs, could prove delightful. On Saturday though you might wonder if you've gone too far. Worrying about what others think is likely - and is probably a waste of time. You might instead take delight in the fact that whilst you've been enjoying a dalliance, friends who've known one another for ages have finally 'got it together'. At a slightly formal occasion or whilst visiting a place of spiritual importance, a close partnership of yours might take an interesting turn. Though this could leave you feeling either wistful or confused on Sunday, you might also sense that romance is tantalisingly close. Those already involved in long-term unions could find that their relationships are sufficiently aged to be enjoyed like the finest of wines.
Monthly Horoscope
The Month of August 2006
Your ruling planet, Mercury, is also the planet associated with trade and commerce. You may not have particular strengths in this area (your personal chart could reveal more), but it's likely that the world of wheeling and dealing holds some fascination for you. Early this month you may be intrigued by the way that others handle loss and/or tough negotiations. At some level (between 4th and 7th), you too may be giving consideration to sale value. Around Full Moon (9th), you might not know which way to turn. It's likely to be 16th or 17th before you arrive at prices you find acceptable. It's around this same time that you're less likely to be intimidated by those who infer they know more about valuations than you do. Your best trading moments are likely to come after 23rd when the Sun enters your sign. This year, this coincides with New Moon and would seem to point to a new financial chapter opening. By 26th, focusing on consolidating and strengthening your position - however confusing - is likely to be the driving force. It's perhaps not until 28th or 29th, that you'll feel ready to speculate to accumulate - and even then, only with the assistance of a close advisor.
