Astrological and Psychic Predictions for August, 2019

Aries -

This entire year is about what you want to do with the rest of your life, Aries, and how to balance your needs and desires with those of your home and family. Everywhere you turn there is more responsibility yet less control. What do YOU want? Because the eclipse late last month has retargeted all these issues, you are feeling a lot of pressure right now to figure it out, to make those choices, to take that big next step in your life journey. You are like the butterfly coming out of its crysalis. You are ready to spread your wings and fly. But where fly to, and how to make it happen? Think back to the beginning of the year. What plans were discussed then? What ideas did you really resonate with? Right now your emotions are overriding your good sense so slow down, take time to have some fun and clear your head, and get back on track. A younger person - a family, close friend or colleage, is stirring things up. This could be good or bad! Also, there is emotional pressure from your lover or spouse if you have one. Allow yourself to be open to suggestions.

Taurus -
You are moving forward, slowly, with changes you want to make within yourself and your environment. Now is a time of great transformation for you. It may feel a little uncertain, yet you are impelled to move forward. At least that's how it feels. Communication is extremely important right now, especially with family members. There is an opportunity for travel. Also for a move, of your work or even a change of or to your residence. Whatever it is you've been working hard for it and it's important to you. How things unfold with this is largely dependent upon your ability to communicate your thoughts and ideas clearly with someone or some business, bank or government entity. Working with a professional will be helpful. The place you call home, even if it's your workplace, is so important to you Taurus, get a clear picture of what you want and how you want it to all unfold and communicate that with clarity. There's no time to waste as these external things are moving forward more quickly than you expected.

Gemini -
Finances, yours and your partner's or spouse's, are of major importance right now. How expenses and debts are handled has an important affect on the future. It's important for you to communicate clearly and concisely on all work related and financial issues with everyone. If you are starting a new business or new endeavor, there is a need for clearly written contracts that all involved have approved. Either you or your mate or partner are burdened with debt that needs to be reviewed and resolved if you are to move forward with the life and business plan you are developing. Note that communication is where it's at for you right now Gemini. If you're changing fields in your work, consider something in communications, or even going back to school to learn some new tricks! On another note, long distance travel for your spouse or partner is a possibility this month, and you may or may not go with them. Health is also a concern on one side or the other of the family. Pay attention to what's going on, including the finances involved. Be open to suggestion and rely on your intuition. Last month's eclipse is opening up new intuitive abilities for you as well as new financial revenue sources - but you'll need to use your intuition to act speedily enough to access them!

Cancer -
You feel a bit like a bouncing ball this month Cancer, as you try to balance your needs,desires, and plans with those of your lifemate, partner or close friend. The truth is, you are both being pulled in different directions right now, and all those obligations must be met. You are going to find that right now, life may work better if you each handle your responsibilities separately, trusting one another to do what's right, and when you are together simply offer emotional support for what the other is doing. Obviously, you both need to be in agreement to make even such a simple plan work. The truth is though, that if you and your partner or friend or other family member cannot work together and agree on the best means to achieve the desired results, life is going to get very interesting indeed and there's going to be a lot of financial and personal stress as a result. For you specifically, now is the time to focus on what's best for yourself financially as you look towards the future. Do not allow the needs of others to cause you to make poor choices for your own future well-being.

Leo -
Home and family, work and health related responsibilities continue to be worrisome this month Leo. They are creating a lot of emotional ups and downs for you. It's important for you to find some time for yourself to enjoy, travel, experience, and be a kid again. Spending time with friends will be good for you too. You've been doing a lot of soul searching, and all of your experiences are contributing to your growing into a very wise person who is powerfully connected with your own deepest self. Now is a good time for exploring your family roots, and for stepping forward into new career options. It's time to start arranging your life in a way that suits yourself. Don't be afraid of that extra responsibility. You can handle it. You'll be amazed at how you almost 'create time' in your day when what you are doing with your day is exciting and fun again. Old opportunities and old friends and partners, old issues are returning. Keep your finger on the pulse of what's going on to know if what's being offered is actually good for you or not. Avoid those power struggles that keep returning. It's time to be done with them once and for all. Don't worry over being orphaned or leaving people you love behind. You are learning to carry your family of choice in your heart forever.

Virgo -
Have you forgotten how to play, Virgo? Has life become a series of responsibilities? It's time for you to find your inner child and learn to play again! You have a responsibility to yourself, and to your children if you have them, and to your lover if you have one, to bring back those childhood joys. Take a chance. Stretch your goals. Do something you've only dreamed about. Open some new doors socially. Make some new friends. Let this month be a time of growth and yes, play, for yourself, Virgo. It's been a long time since you've allowed that. The world around you seems to be restructuring itself and you find yourself reflecting upon how and if you want to fit in, in the future. The key is to find your creative self. Find your joy. Get in touch with your intuitive side and let that lead you to life's next adventure. Yes there are some fearful things happening 'out there'. Let your challenge this month be facing and overcoming those fears! If you have children, your oldest is going through some things that are totally life changing - for them as well as for you. The future looks good and is filled with unlimited possibility!

Libra -
This month it's important for you to seek out activity with friends. There is a lot going on with your work and career, and it's good! But your present goals and what you are doing in the public eye can easily absorb you in a way that is almost self-annihilating. Likewise, responsibilities at home concerning the family and possibly a mother figure are also all-consuming. If you're not careful your entire month can become a seesaw of activities and emotions that keep you running back and forth between two entirely different life areas that both consume you with effort and anxiety and have no resolution. Yet you know you absolutely have to deal with them, so how do you do that joyfully and without stress? Here's a hint: before you become involved with anything consider it from the point of view of what it will give back to you in terms of happiness, experience, satisfaction, or remuneration. Set your own standards. Look at long-term goals and responsibilities. If whatever you are about to do meets even one of your own criteria in a positive way, the biggest being 'do you want to do, have, or experience it', then move forward! If it doesn't, give yourself permission to say 'no'. Bouncing your thoughts and ideas off friend is important for you this month too. For you, sometimes you must verbalize a thought or idea before you can fully explore it yourself. Let a good friend be the 'wall' you bounce those ideas off!

Scorpio -
Communications and visits with friends and siblings, near and far, are important this month. Getting a job that involves communication or working remotely is a possibility too! Be conscious of your communications as you may find yourself making comittments you don't even know you've made, and later have to uphold! You may travel or plan travel that is for either business or pleasure, or even to visit a family member or close friend. Conversely, they could be coming to see you! Either or both is a good possibility. This month promises to be one with lots of activity, both in the moment and planned, revolving around present and future travel. If for some reason you choose to pass up all these opportunities to travel, you'll find this month is also a great time for home study, reading, or even earning an online degree or certification! It's also a good month for organizing and planning future life activities involving your home and family to. Be sure to have any legal documents looked over by an attorney. Be discerning this month about entering any agreements with friends or siblings, and think twice about offering or accepting any advice. Right now it seems everything has strings attached.

Sagittarius -
Pay attention to your finances and your partner or spouse's too this month Sagittarius. Changes are in the works and you need to be aware of them and also make plans to make the most of what's happening. It's quite possible a financial windfall is coming your way, but that doesn't mean you should overspend in expectation of that. In fact, it's time to tighten the belt, at least temporarily. There seems to be tug of wars and power plays all around you right now and a lot of them involve money and finances and certainly things that can affect you, so keep your eyes open and your spidey senses turned up! Travel is a good possiblility for you this month, and even if you don't go, you'll probably consider it. There may be a work around, but some things are just better done in person! The month holds lots of activity around your in-laws if you're married, and also siblings on both sides of the family. You or someone close to you is especially accident prone throughout a good part of the month, so try to slow things down and certainly think before you act to prevent injuries. It might be a good time to watch those calories too. You are having a Jupiter return in your solar first house which means weight gain, but a lot of other good things coming your way too as Jupiter expands whatever it touches!

Capricorn -
This is an important month for you Capricorn, as you have opportunities to get on track with decisions and plans you launched at the beginning of the year. You are especially looking at your finances and the finances of others too, and choosing what action steps will best benefit you. It seems as if you are weighing what location, what support group, what relationship or business partners, you will choose to move forward with as your plans begin to unfold. Relationships with women or family members, especially those that center around finances or their resources, can be filled with tension this month. There may be some very emotional moments as you sort things out. If you have children or several young people around you that you may consider your children (or pets?) the second oldest is going to need some extra attention this month. This could be because of their finances, activities, or health. Construction in or around your home is a possibility too - and be careful because it could be more expensive than you expect.

Aquarius -
You are doing a whole lot of soul searching, looking back, and re-playing past events this whole year Aquarius, but that process is especially powerful this month. Remember, the past is the past and cannot be changed. You can only learn from it, grow from it and move forward armed with greater insight and understanding. That is the ONLY purpose looking back really serves. A relationship needs your attention right now, or you may be seeking one. A woman who is family related or perhaps your significant other also has some major emotional or physical issues you should be paying attention to right now, because they are adversely affecting your relationship. Additionally, you are or should be giving serious attention to some matter concerning your primary life partner or your business partner. All of these things are the stimulous for your soul searching and looking back but remember the real reason for dwelling on the past is to find the tools to handle what's on your plate right now and make your future better.

Pisces -
Right now your life feels pretty much like it's about work, and you will soon have the opportunity to expand on what you are doing and even to travel with it or at least reach more people. You are also concerned with health issues that may concern either a mother figure, a woman you are close to, or your signifcant other. Responsibilities you find yourself handling are increasing and you may have to set some limits and boundaries soon. People (or pets) that you relate to as your friends and children are on the one hand supportive and helpful, and on the other an enormous burden that makes it difficult for you to decisively plan your own future. Again, handling them in the best way will involve setting more boundaries. Be aware of your temper this month. Stress is causing you to be short tempered and irritable. But there is always a silver lining. You'll find if you spend more time alone and turn that short temperedness to activity you get more done that you ever expected you could. Try to find play time for yourself and your favorite person, child or pet. Let yourself have time to be a child again. That's the best way to bring happiness into your life and relieve some of that emotional stress.
