Today's Horoscope for Sunday August 17th
Push away anyone who is awkward, back off circumstances which are tricky and find a corner in the office or at home, when you can be in charge of all you survey. You want to be wrapped up in cotton wool, giving yourself the goodies of life. In the background you may be feeling a touch discouraged since making progress seems more of a struggle than usual and you could be frustrated because of other people's obstinacy. Do realise you will have to reach compromise agreements which are fair to all concerned.
The Weekly Outlook from 11th August
Everything that is new, exciting and original in your life has to be followed up steadily. Don't stick your feet in a rut but don't be too impulsive either. The changes that are coming are not awkward as long as you merge the best of the old with the best of the new. Be open to the opportunities on offer. With Venus close to Jupiter you may be tempted to laze around, overspend or indulge yourself. Enjoy yourself but keep a watchful eye on essentials.
Your Monthly Horoscope for August
Hard work will be unavoidable for three weeks with the Sun moving through Leo. Staying fit and on top form will be important if you are to crack on through your responsibilities. You know that keeping a watchful eye on your finances will be necessary in the time ahead which may mean altering your approach and taking the initiative about putting overdue changes in place. Being patient as well as persevering will be the way to go. Your plans may hit a few setbacks around the 9th so pause until you see a way of disentangling one confused situation. Luckily your social life will provide light hearted distractions with fun friends and new venues or activities to explore. By the 12th you'll reckon letting bygones be bygones in one difference will be sensible and you'll be on your way. Into the final ten days you'll be less drained and better supported. Extending a helping hand to loved ones will bring rewards at a later date.
and Next Month's Horoscope for September
Cooperation will be your priority since you know you want the support of close partners in whatever you are doing. If you give to others they are more likely to give back to you. You will be back seriously reviewing what needs to be cleared out of your life with Saturn now retrograding through your sign for a few more months. Being realistic does not always come easily to you but this will be a time to prompt yourself to see one situation as it is and not as you would like it to be. Behind the scenes you will be negotiating and pushing hard to resolve a financial or emotional matter. Be firm and flexible. Compromising may be necessary to reach a fair agreement. Your confidence will remain high all month so you'll be stepping out boldly on the social scene and causing a stir. As you put a higher value on yourself so will other people. Into the final days you'll be aiming higher and planning to travel more or broaden your horizons. There will still be loose ends to tie up in confidential tangles but you won't let that hold you back.
Year Ahead 2025
Pluto moving through the sign before yours in this next phase of your life will give rise to more introspection and an urge to explore your past and put it into perspective. You will be able to pull strings behind the scenes and have unseen influence in ways which were never possible before. You will also have moments of rest and relaxation at home and with the family in the first half year and be reassured by a peaceful atmosphere. Getting to grips with your finances would not normally be a priority since you prefer to leave practicalities to others but with a shift over from May and June onwards you will be focussing on your security and prompting yourself to get organised and save for security when you can. Rising confidence and a flurry of invitations from June onwards will set you off on the party trial for several months, delighted to be in the spotlight and attracting attention and appreciation. As you put a higher value on yourself you?ll notice that those around do the same, so you will push self-doubt firmly to one side. Changes at home in the second half year will bring a sense that you want more elbow room to suit yourself so renegotiating agreements with those close will be sensible. You may be pushed and pulled because it will be clear that being less self-sufficient and more adaptable will bring stronger relationships so you?ll need to mark out understandings where you can be free at times and fit in more cooperatively at others.
