14 – 20 August 2012

ARIES {Mar 21–Apr 20}
Unfortunately the whole world won’t bend to suit your needs; there is nothing wrong in having needs, however, once they begin to be in conflict with others, someone may find themselves dissatisfied. Get creative and use your imagination; that’s what it’s for.

TAURUS {Apr 21–May 21}
A need to go beyond your everyday rational and branch out of a limiting mindset beckons you to relax, breath and step up – into top gear. The things worth having usually are the hardest to get. It’s a good time to turn over a new leaf with loved ones.

GEMINI {May 22–June 21}
Every time a goal post is reached, we’re usually busy dreaming about the next one to congratulate ourselves. It’s never too late to appreciate your good fortune. Luck favours your finances. For maximum security set clear-cut boundaries in love.

CANCER {June 22–July 22}
When your psyche is ready to express a hidden part of yourself, it is possible at this point to attract someone who helps bring that part of you to the surface. Could you be attracted to those who allow you to be who it is you secretly long to be? Partnerships deepen.

LEO {July 23–Aug 22}
Mercury helps you think sharper, like a new computer your brain is able to process information faster and with more clarity you can quickly wade through intricacies, seeing the wood through the trees. The new Moon fills you with vitality.

VIRGO {Aug 23–Sep 22}
It’s crunch time: are you going to push against the tide despite resistance and struggle on doggedly? Or perhaps play a longer game and know that now may not be the best time to strike? Loll with friends; you can’t rush time but you can afford leisure.

LIBRA {Sep 23–Oct 22}
Wiping the slate clean is important as an opportunity to delve deeper into a relationship surfaces, bringing with it a chance to relinquish some of the control and defer to your trusted sidekicks. The past has influence, but only if you want it to.

SCORPIO {Oct 23–Nov 21}
Love is adventurous and willing you to go deeper. With the temperature rising there’s going to be a lot to discuss. Make sure you are listening because a very important message is coming and if you pay attention, it can change your life for the better.

SAGITTARIUS {Nov 22–Dec 20}
Love is the universal glue that binds us. You can thank Venus for helping to break down any emotional barriers that have been getting in the way of relationship progress. If this week were a therapy session, you can expect the breakthrough.

CAPRICORN {Dec 21–Jan 19}
You may have been taking a back seat, but it’s never too late to change tack and begin the adventure into an alternative reality. You may be expected to give all you’ve got at work; being a little self sacrificing might be the only way to ensure you really can.

AQUARIUS {Jan 20–Feb 19}
As you love your friends how about lend them an ear? Someone is trying to tell you something but you’ve not been listening. The new moon entices you with temptation, some serious romance and a chance to change your Facebook status.

PISCES {Feb 20–Mar 20}
Dramatic changes in your work could mean you’re waking up to a different rhythm, driving in a different gear and forced to think more creatively. Welcome these changes as they’re going to help you push into the kind of arena you’ve been wanting.
