Horoscopes for August 2013

Leo – The Lion - July 23 to August 22

Traditional Leo Traits
Generous and warmhearted
Creative and enthusiastic
Broad-minded and expansive
Faithful and loving

On the dark side....

Pompous and patronizing
Bossy and interfering
Dogmatic and intolerant

With the Sun in your sign until the 23rd, all eyes are on you, and you like it that way. Even so, Mars doesn't reach your sign until the 27th, so energy levels may be low and you could be feeling on the fence about a number of matters, after which you confidently and perhaps aggressively go after what you want. The New Moon in your sign on the 6th boosts your personal magnetism. It can also bring pleasant surprises regarding travel or educational pursuits. With Jupiter in your spiritual sector, your general tendency is to play a supportive role to others this year. However, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries when it comes to your energy and time. With Jupiter challenged this month, you might be dealing with more-than-usual pressures with work, your health, or simply inner restlessness. Inner confidence may be shaky at this time as you try to regain your power. Mundane tasks capture your attention, but the urge to get out and about is bound to grab hold of you as well. Finding a balance can be difficult, but necessary. There is a fair amount of activity in your financial sectors in August, and you can expect some opportunities to improve your financial lot in life. However, difficulties can arise if you are turning a blind eye to debts or a partner's contributions and spending. Mercury in your sign from the 8-24 boosts your ability to socialize and make important connections. The 14th can be particularly strong for meeting interesting people.

Virgo - August 22 - September 22

While your personal magnetism is strong this month until the 23-24, you tend to keep to yourself more than usual. Generally speaking, this is a time for privacy, relaxation, and preparation. August is also a month when gifts and rewards come to you, as well as opportunities to expand your horizon through travel, a broadening of your "audience" if you have one, or higher studies. Nevertheless, it's very important to pace yourself and avoid succumbing to a feeling that you're running out of time. You could be dealing with erratic sources of income or cash flow, particularly with money coming in from other sources than your own income, this month, and especially around the 9th and 26th. Some of you could experience challenges surrounding the state of a romance and how casual or deep it is. There could be difficulties with a child or lover who is at odds with the energy and time you are pouring into your friendships and causes. Try to avoid an over-emphasis on activities that too often take you away from your practical responsibilities. Also watch for pushing your ambitions, or others, too hard, as you could face quite a bit of opposition. If, for example, you feel an end of the summer crunch, avoid trying to cram in too many things or rushing something that requires more time to evolve. The 23-24 brings a more powerful voice and larger presence. While there can be some disturbances with a partner or disillusionments to deal with in the last week of the month, you can come to a much more empowering position once truths are accepted.

Libra - September 24 to October 23

New friendships and group associations can figure strongly in August or you could be making new discoveries about your current friendships that enliven your month. Around the New Moon on the 6th, interesting opportunities for friendships and partnerships can arise suddenly. Venus enters your sign on the 16th, and this ups your powers of attraction considerably. If you've been on the fence about your feelings or a love relationship, this may be the time when you become clearer and more demonstrative. This is also a time to attract positive attention. However, there can be some challenges this month balancing partnership needs, career matters, and the demands of home and family. You can feel tugged in a number of directions, and feel that you have little time to pursue to your own personal goals during this period. There may be difficulties with a family member who is at odds with the energy and time you are pouring into your career or public life, for example. It can be difficult to count on others or on circumstances, as changes seem to be thrust upon you. Avoid reacting too quickly, and instead listen to your heart. Around the 20th, emotional issues surrounding creative projects, romance, or children capture your attention. Circumstances in the last week of the month draw your attention to the need for more rest. Unpredictability on the job or the unusual behavior of a co-worker could throw you off-center. While you could be feeling drained, extra rest can do wonders for both your physical and spiritual well-being.

Scorpio - October 24 - November 22

While much of August is about performance, opportunities to get away from routine are likely to present themselves. Showing others your competent side comes easily this month. Striking a balance between energy spent on work and time spent on personal matters is essential now. It's time to prioritize. Otherwise, you run the risk of over-extending yourself and alienating your loved ones. Even so, this is your yearly career peak, and you can expect new or increased responsibilities. Success is more important to you than usual, and you take special pride in what you do as well as how you do it. A golden opportunity might present itself around the New Moon on the 6th, when something pleasantly surprising can occur in relation to work and career. Be cautious, however, as you could experience resistance from others, or gossip could be part of the picture. There could be some challenges managing your daily life and you could be lured along a path that has you neglecting important duties and responsibilities. From the 16th, love becomes more private. Some soul-searching may be in order. Family and domestic matters demand attention around the Full Moon on the 20th. Professional matters are strong most of the month, but really speed up in the last few days of August and throughout September. Around the same time, there can be some social drama involving friends and lovers. A friend might be critical of your recent choices. Even so, strong opportunities can be found through friends. Important connections can be made.

Sagittarius - November 23 - December 21
Educational goals, travel, and contact with people from an entirely different background than yours are big themes in August for you. Institutes of higher learning or foreign places hold stronger appeal and could be the backdrop for interesting twists to your life story, particularly around the New Moon on the 6th, when pleasant surprises in your love life can also figure strongly. This month, you are learning about your need for self-expression through adventuresome activities. In the second half of the month, love can more easily be found in group activities or through friends. Domestic matters demand sensitive attention around the Full Moon on the 20th. Responsibilities on the job increase around the 23-24. This month, guard against risky financial moves, gambling, and the like. You might experience some conflict involving your pursuit of pleasure. Relationships with loved ones are intense, heated, and dramatic, particularly if money is in question. Unsettled financial matters could get in the way of your desire to indulge in extra-curricular activities. Taking on too much debt or relying too heavily on others for support are things to watch for. Avoid pushing too hard and taking risks with money and your heart. In the last week of the month, focusing on work can be motivating and energizing.

Capricorn - December 22 - January 20

In general, August is a period of review and refinement for you. Reviewing strategies is usually wiser this month than putting them into action. Money, insurance, debts, taxes, and possessions may be important topics for you now. Honest communication on emotionally-charged topics, like power dynamics and shared finances, is the way to go now. The New Moon on the 6th can bring a pleasant surprise involving money, support, family, and home. Some conflict between domestic demands, personal goals, and partnerships can be experienced this month, particularly around the 7th, 21st, and 26th. A partner may be more concerned with freedom than with pairing, or could be acting extravagantly. You may need to loosen your grip on someone in order to move forward. Watch your behavior carefully when a significant person in your life is expressing strong needs for freedom. Avoid letting your own fears rule. Manipulative behavior is unlikely to go over well. A financial break or settlement is possible around the 20th. Alternatively, a small crisis or emotional matter surrounding money and possessions alerts you to the need for organizing your finances. You can experience a real boost in your attitude around the 23-24, after which there may be some ups and downs as dreams come down to earth. Even so, you find yourself on considerably more solid ground, and you might receive recognition and an ego boost on the 27-30.

Aquarius - January 21 - February 19

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life. It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

Pisces - February 20- March 20

New beginnings with work or health feature in August. Health and fitness matters are prominent this month, as you develop new strategies to organize your life and structure your routines. Lots of chatter surrounding work goals and routines figure, and taking some time to gain perspective and to avoid stress is wise. You may be inspired to create better health habits, or to begin a new diet or fitness regimen. Around the 4-6, you are able to bring an unusual and creative spin to your work. Pleasant surprises may be in store now. If you've been excessive with your pursuit of pleasure recently, consequences can be experienced in August. You may need to tone things down a little and avoid the feeling that you have to push things socially in order to get where you want to go in a romance or friendship. Pace yourself and don't overshoot. Attention to friends or lovers can become an issue now. Watch also for a tendency to gamble, make impulsive purchases, or lend indiscriminately. Money spent on children, romance, and entertainment can be excessive now. On the 25-26, you can feel as if others, especially partners, are overly critical or otherwise seeming to rain on your parade. However, there can be something to learn from the experience, and possibly something to gain in terms of an important reality check. The 29-30 brings you back down to earth in a good way, and a partner or good friend can be especially supportive.

Aries - March 21 - April 20
Two distinct themes dominate your month: pleasure and work! Your love life might heat up around the 4-6, when others are looking on you especially favourably and your powers of attraction sky-rocket. An old friend might re-appear in your life. Your creative juices are flowing and you can have a strong urge to express your more unique talents or pour yourself into a new hobby. An old interest might be renewed. Focus is on romance and pleasure, but nevertheless both are complicated in August. New beginnings are in store, whether this means a fresh start in existing relationships or a new one altogether. From the 16th, partnering comes into focus, and you'll be busy balancing your own needs with those of a significant other. Even with all of this romantic and social excitement, you manage to get a whole lot of work done, although this theme is most prominent towards the end of the month. If you've been excessive with nest-feathering, family/downtime, or avoiding/escaping your responsibilities, other areas of your life will show signs of suffering now. The need to cultivate self-discipline can arise. The demands of career and family can be especially strong in August, and finding a balance is necessary but also very challenging! There may be real professional or personal concerns at this time, and you may need to rework your long-term goals. This theme is strongest on the 7th, but is something that will return and unfold over the coming months. In the last week of August, you have more energy to pour into work, organizing your personal environment, and health routines. It's a great time to start an exercise or nutrition program, but wait until after the energy-sapping 25-26, when some bubble-bursting is likely to occur on the levels of health and work.

Taurus - April 21 - May 21

The conflicting demands of family and career grab your attention this month. August is not the most gregarious of months for you, at least not the first three weeks, although Venus in your romance sector until the 16th can bring some romantic attention. There will be times when others find you distant or especially private. Some of you could have a lot of fun with family on the 4-6, and most of you are likely to feel especially positive and invigorated when it comes to your closest ties. The Full Moon on the 20th may spark some confusion as it highlights your dreams and ideals regarding your career. Give yourself time to digest everything before jumping to make a move. Jupiter's presence in your communications sector has been expanding your connections and interests, but this month it's challenged, and any excesses or difficulties in these areas can be magnified. This is a good thing - knowing the problem is the first step to resolving it! However, for the time being, it can be challenging. Problems with siblings, in-laws, neighbors, schooling, travel plans, daily schedules, and work might be highlighted now, as these areas of life are highlighted. Taking on too many daily activities, communications, new interests, and learning endeavors or studies should be avoided. Don't overload your plate. Your love life can speed up in the last week of the month, when a powerful attraction could be part of the picture. However, you'll have to get over the disillusionment hurdle on the 25-26. Some of you could have difficulties between friends and lovers now.

Gemini - May 22 - June 21

August is bound to be a fast-paced month for you. You are especially active, communicative, and thoroughly ready to take action on ideas that have been whirling in your head. In the last week of the month, more personal responsibilities and desires are highlighted, but until then, you are generally sociable and on the go. The 4-6 can bring pleasant surprises, communications, and inspiration from friends. New interests can figure strongly, and school or learning endeavours are highlighted. It's a great month for making friends through institutes of learning. Progressive outside-of-the-box thinking is important now, as it opens up more opportunities. From the 16th, Venus' presence in your romance and play sector can bring a light-hearted, positive energy to your love life. Personal appeal increases. Much focus on dealing with the mundane details of life can have you itching for adventure or simply a change around the Full Moon on the 20th. This month, if you've been overconfident with money and resources, there may be some consequences to face. As much as possible, avoid taking foolish risks, particularly involving borrowing from your future through incurring excessive debt, procrastination, or through waste and neglect of important responsibilities. A conflict over someone else's resources or money can come to a head this month. If you are accumulating personal possessions too quickly, this can lead to clutter and disorganization. Both borrowing and lending can lead to problems or disputes. On the 25-26, your dreams and visions may be put to the test and you are called upon to back them up with hard facts. After this hurdle, you're likely to thoroughly enjoy connections with family and personal time for yourself after a sometimes hectic but productive month.

Cancer - June 22 - July 22

Matters of income, comfort, and security come into strong focus this month. You take special pride in your material accumulations. What you have - and what you don't have - occupies your thoughts more than usual. Your "sweet tooth" for comfort items is strong right now. The 4-6 is potentially excellent for money matters and innovative business ideas. There could be a collision between your dreams and reality when it comes to personal finances around the 20th, but if you've planned well you'll welcome the chance to get back on track and in charge of money. Your dreams and ideals about intimacy can come into focus, as flaws in this area of your life come to light. Intimate matters could be touchy just now. Be vigilant when it comes to keeping track of a partner's finances that may affect you. Jupiter's presence in your sign has brought a strong need to start over. This month, Jupiter is challenged, and some of the less flattering sides of this overall positive transit can emerge. While you could be feeling restless and the desire to feel free is strong, avoid pushing this too far or people in your life, particularly family, authority figures, and a partner, might get their backs up. Watch for behaviors that might be interpreted as over-confident and even pompous. Try not to blind yourself to responsibilities from your past. A partner, parent, or boss could feel threatened by your newfound displays of freedom and independence. People tend to be pulling you in different directions, and although finding a happy medium or balance can be difficult now, it's important. Think in terms of toning down excesses, as the tendency in August is to be immoderate, which attracts the most problems.
