Aries: After surviving some drama having to do with a family or housing situation, you’ll be relieved to hear that this month is all about Love Love Love! The first week of August brings a wonderful time for romance as the Sun in your house of true love pings Uranus in your own sign! Beautiful angled is a new moon in Leo on the 6th, which will inject passion into your love life, whether you’re beginning a romance or rekindling it with a partner. Things are sure to get even hotter towards the end of the month when Mars (your ruler!) moves into this same area, and you might even make it official on the 26th, when Venus in your house of partnerships waves a sexy hello to your first house. Be careful mid-month, as Jupiter in your house of home will oppose Pluto in your career house and t-square Uranus in Aries. Working too much at the expense of your family? It’s time to finally figure out a balance, ram. On the full moon on the 20th, a friend may reveal some big news or a dream close to your heart may finally come true.

Taurus: Home is where the heart is. Renovating? The new moon on the 6th gives you good prospects to start a new home project. Unfortunately, you might not be communicating as well as you’d like. With Mars in your 3rd house squaring Uranus in your 12th, and Saturn opposing your sun, you might be a bit on edge these days, bull. Hang in there. Alternatively, a beloved sibling might be going through a hard time. Luckily you are known for your loyalty and shouldn’t have a problem lending a shoulder for them to cry on. Travel should be avoided this month, as a t-square between your travel houses and your 12th house will make things difficult, especially with everything going on at home. Lucky for you, a career project will finally come to a head on the full moon of Aug 20th. Been angling for a promotion or interviewing for a top job? You’ll hear sometime between Aug 16th and Aug 25th. My money’s on you, bull. Adding to the good news, your ruler (Venus) pings Uranus on the 26th, indicating that any changes on the work front will be to your liking, especially if you work in medicine or in a creative field.

Gemini: This month was tailor made for a Gemini, given that all the action will take place in your third house, the house your sign happens to rule. Things should be busy for you- catch up on your errands and emails, and visit with friends and neighbors. Say yes to any and all BBQ invitations- a perfect August activity! On the 6th, a sibling may make an announcement or you may enjoy a fun getaway (not too far though!). A hiccup mid-month will have you reviewing your finances. Is a hobby or dream close to your heart eating through your wallet? Perhaps you leant money to a friend that he or she is stalling on paying back. You’re learning the hard way that friends and money don’t always mix. Luckily, on the 15th, your ruler (mercury) gives you the gift of gab and pings your friendship house, so perhaps you’ll find a delicate way to say enough is enough. On the 20th, a full moon illuminates your house of publishing. You might finally sell that screenplay, book, or magazine article you’ve been working on. Or perhaps you’ll finally apply to that graduate program you’ve been eyeing. No time like the present dear Gemini!

Cancer: Show me the money! So far, this summer has been all about you little crab, but you may have been wondering where the money’s at. The new moon on the 6th will bring a wonderful opportunity to boost your income, and it will be beautifully angled to Uranus in your house of career. Perhaps an unexpected promotion is in store, and with it, a raise. With good luck Jupiter in your sign, anything is possible! Even better, the full moon on the 20th will bring another financial matter to a close. You might secure funding for a project, be approved for a home loan, or get a bonus or tax break. Welcome news after the end of July, which may have found you ramming your head against the wall in frustration at your employer. Just watch out for the end of the month, as Mars may drive up expenses. Also, mid-month, a t-square may cause some drama with your employer or spouse. You may suffer from a public embarrassment, but it is only temporary. Don’t worry too much, as challenges help us grow. You are the star of the zodiac this year and everything you touch will be gold!

Virgo– This month may find you in seclusion as you prepare for a grand entrance in September. Finish up projects behind closed doors, meditate, and clear out the dead wood, virgin. The new moon on the 6th may illuminate a dark secret you or someone close has been hiding. Alternatively, you may get funding for a creative project, or begin a toxic romance. Money has been a source of stress for you lately, as your house of other people’s money is squaring your house friendship. Mid-month, Pluto will join the chaos, involving your business partner or spouse/s.o. Mixing friendship and money is never easy, and someone you may have thought would be the perfect person to start a new business with will show their true colors. If it’s business related, it will all be sorted out on the 20th, when a full moon brings a work matter to a close. Watch your health on this day as well, as full moons in the 6th can bring on illness. Luckily, on the 26th, Venus in your house of income will give a loving beam to Uranus in your house of other’s people’s money, suggesting you’ll end up on top. When the Sun enters your sign at the end of the month, you’ll emerge from your hole, ready to launch new ventures and shine brightly again!
