Herascope August 2012

Check out what the stars have in store this month.

Happy Birthday, Leo!
Leo July 24-August 23

Celestial counsellor, Venus, slips into your subconscious, mentally manipulating you to edit your relationship pre-requisite list, delete toxic friends from your serious chat group, or switch on to more subtle fantasies. With your imagination on fire, brainstorm ways to quieten down your external environment. Creativity doesn’t have to involve crazy connections, off-the-wall communication or being so wired up that you feel wretched. On many different levels you are about to spread your regal wings.

Virgo August 24-September 23

You’re on a mission to transform a relationship that’s morphed into something quite unrecognisable. Whatever spin you put on the reason behind the change won’t really matter. A clever ice-breaker sets things in motion.

Libra September 24-October 23

As Uranus gives you new options to play with, Saturn flattens your old desires. Convinced the course of love involves hard knocks, you allow yourself to feel the pleasure in the pain.

Scorpio October 24-November 22

Venus makes love to your Sun, dialing your sex-appeal up to ‘scorching’ and seducing you to get hooked on lusty chat or cosy up again with your current. You won’t make a wrong move in August.

Sagittarius November 23-December 21

Even though you won’t be thrilled with taking a slab out of your month to help a friend, your conscience won’t allow you to bail. The bonding session could be gold in itself.

Capricorn December 22-January 20

Pluto’s opposition to Venus has dominatrix sprayed all over it, and yet compassion is exactly what you need in this mix. Move past awkward by losing the resentment associated with a former relationship.

Aquarius January 21-February 19

With Jupiter bouncing new opportunities into your charismatic course, be prepared to train up for something outside your comfort zone. It’s the next step towards achieving your ambition.

Pisces February 20-March 20

Tired of someone changing their mind, being a free-loader or making it difficult for you to get back on top? By baring your soul you reposition yourself as head of the household.

Aries March 21-April 20

Steady-handed Saturn sits on your rearing Mars energy, replacing your fierce motivation with calm restraint. The perfect headspace for sorting fiddly paperwork or updating that blog. Someone’s heart has your name on it.

Taurus April 21-May 21

The Jupiter/Chiron link challenges your short-term memory and ability not to make the same relationship mistake again. Money manoeuvres feature in your self-marketing mix. Avoid being sidetracked by an old addiction.

Gemini May 22-June 21

A reoccurring personal problem is easily fixed through sussing out where the bad attitude stems from or who has the hots for whom. Resist playing matchmaker just to get kudos with someone.

Cancer June 22-July 23

Any tweaking of a program or party plan should be arranged before the invitations are sent or the deposit fixed. Show the support group you have a voice, or it could be curtains for a partnership.
