Monthly
Horoscope August:
January: Aquarius January 20 - February 18
In
matters of the heart, this is a funny sort of month. With the Lovers card
representing you, you have doubts not just about other people, but also about
yourself, and this makes it next to impossible to have genuine and meaningful
interactions with others. Fortunately, the Empress counterbalances these
problems somewhat, and nudges you to communicate with the rest of the world.
This attempt at communication will help you recognize those in your entourage
who are willing to listen, and those who are not... You have so much confidence
and motivation at work that you'll be holding meeting after meeting without
feeling the least bit tired or unenthusiastic. The combination of the Devil and
the Empress means you have a lot of faith in your plans. You'll be able to make
progress towards reaching fixed goals. Just a tad of diplomacy in your dealings
with others and you'll do even better.
February: Pisces February 19 - March 19
Things
look gloomy this month as far as love is concerned. Under the influence of the
Hermit and the High Priestess, all you can do is curl up in a corner and cry,
or brood on your current uncertainties. Neither of these cards makes you
particularly open to the outside world. It’s a time for looking within yourself
and questioning your situation. Take advantage of the solitude to reconsider
certain of your patterns of behaving towards the people you love… In your
active life, “Good things come to those who wait,” is your motto for the day.
Without making big waves you’ll progress slowly but steadily, with intelligence
and discretion, stimulated by the beneficial combination of the Sun and the
High Priestess. Your ability for penetrating analysis, your creative vision and
your logical approach will impress your partners and your colleagues. Why not
be a little more forthcoming and share your ideas more openly?
March: Aries March 20 - April 20
This
month, you have Strength on your side and the World at your feet! Your charm is
working overtime and nobody can resist the charisma you’re giving out. You
might be tempted to abuse this talent for seduction to get what you want from
friends or lovers. If it works – so much the better for you! At work, you show
all the resolve and authority you need to get today’s tasks done quickly and
efficiently. Strength and the Emperor support you in your endeavors; the growth
of your business is in masterful hands; wise investments are the order of the
day; your professional relationships are going smoothly. There’s no stopping
you!
April: Taurus April 21 - May 21
It’s
all go in your social life this month! There are all sorts of comings and
goings – nights out with friends, unexpected encounters, and a surprise dinner
with your partner… You don’t know which way to look with the Wheel of Fortune
and the Magician governing your personal affairs. It’s up to you to juggle it
all and try to satisfy everybody. There are more surprises in store… you could
be exhausted by the end of the day! In
the professional sphere, a new opportunity is on the horizon… Signing a
contract, obtaining a loan, a large order from a client – nothing’s impossible.
Under the combined influence of Justice and the Magician you can be sure to
have the necessary qualities to take new things on board and handle them with
intelligence. You also know how to weigh up the pros and the cons, and you are
able to make well-informed decisions...
May: Gemini May 22 - June 21
Your
love life is under the sign of tenderness this month. The gentle Star and the
High Priestess suggest some wonderful moments of friendship, or maybe you're
about to meet someone charming and delightful. Your thoughts are on the right
track and you're planning positively for the future. All of which means you're
in perfect harmony with both yourself and your loved ones. Under the aegis of the luminous signs of the
Sun and the Star, your intelligence and your intuition can really shine in the
professional context. Under this auspicious influence, qualities are emerging
in you that will allow you to surpass yourself, to reach your goals and to lead
your projects to a successful conclusion. Make good use of your charisma and
your self-assurance in order to motivate your co-workers and your partners.
June: Cancer June 22 - July 22
Drive
is a good thing when it comes to affairs of the heart, aggression is quite another!
This is the danger that lurks this month. The combined energies of the Chariot
and the Emperor are so powerful that you might suddenly behave like a conqueror
and become very domineering. It would be good if you could be active and
enthusiastic without however putting pressure on your significant other. Try
not to be overbearing and authoritarian.
In the professional sphere, you are in danger of giving in to your
impulses and of being carried away by a surplus of energy, so we advise
prudence. The authority of the Emperor, coupled with the powerful energies of
Strength, tend to give you a false sense of security, making you believe there
is nothing you cannot do. But, you need to be realistic and understand that
there are limits that you cannot cross. Don’t kid yourself into thinking that
you are invincible. After all, there is a hierarchy in place, and you don’t
want to get into trouble. You might shoot yourself in the foot.
July: Leo: July 23 - August 23
You’ll
be surprised at the number of fascinating people you’ll meet this month! The
Chariot is creating quite a whirlwind in your social life, and the Sun
illuminates the many facets of your sparkling personality – no wonder people
find you attractive. Just a note of warning: don’t get carried away with the
easy success of superficial encounters – take a genuine interest in the people
you meet, and develop sincere relationships. Channel your enthusiasms and
energies into something worthwhile. At work, your approach to everyday tasks is
very enthusiastic and determined. The Chariot is giving you the strength to
follow your duties right through to the end, while the High Priestess is
helping you organize your thoughts. It's a good day to do business - but you've
got to keep up!
August: Virgo August 24 - September 23
It's
not a great month for affairs of the heart. It must be said that the
partnership of the Hermit and the High Priestess are making you feel more like
being alone than hitting the town. No matter if your solitude is enforced or
desired, you should use this day of quiet and introspection to assess your
emotional situation. Don't allow yourself to get depressed and try and look on
the bright side. In the professional
sphere, you have a rather sad month ahead of you. Under the difficult influence
of the Hermit and the Lovers, you’re asking yourself lots of questions about
your work environment or your career, and you have a tendency to shut yourself
off from the others. You avoid company and withdraw into your shell. It's no
wonder therefore that the keywords for the day are loneliness and isolation.
This being the case, today is an opportunity for reflection and introspection,
which is not necessarily a bad thing - as long as you ask yourself the right
questions, of course!
September: Libra September 24 - October 23
You’re
prone to flights of fancy this month in matters of the heart, and if you’re not
careful you’re in danger of suffering a nasty fall! Beware the Moon and the
Emperor. Don’t mistake your dreams for reality, and above all, don’t try to
impose your fantasies on others. Your emotional relationships need some sort of
solid basis to build on, as you well know, you bring yourself back down to
earth! This month, you’ll astonish everyone at work with your creativity –
including yourself! In fact, you seem to come up with one good idea every
minute, the only problem is (and that’s indicated by the combination of the
Star and the Moon): you find it difficult to put theory into practice. You
display an obvious lack of realism, and people might pick on that. If you’re an
artist or work in a creative environment, however, this is your day!
October: Scorpio October 24 - November 22
The
Tower heralds a testing time emotionally this month, while the Hermit indicates
a powerful sense of solitude and melancholy. You are feeling abandoned by those
around you, misunderstood by those you love, and totally helpless about your
emotional future. Shut yourself away, stand back and consider calmly the life
choices that you see before you. At work, you’re on the point of securing
someone’s signature on a contract or bringing a project to a conclusion, but
something always seems to be missing. The World guarantees success, but the
Hermit creates an ever-increasing number of delays and obstacles. Don’t lose
heart and continue with your efforts – everything will work out…
November: Sagittarius November 23 - December 21
Beware
of setting your sights too high in matters of the heart this month. The pairing
of the Fool and the Moon indicates that your hopes are sure to be dashed. You
have a tendency to idealize the people you love, but reality will show you that
you've invested too much in them or in your relationship. Which is why you're
in danger of being disillusioned. Remember, nobody's perfect. At work, your
overactive imagination could be playing tricks on you – you have so many ideas
that you’ll scatter yourself in all directions. The World opens up new horizons,
but the Fool instills doubt in your mind. Find a few minutes and take time to
reflect and decide how you want to direct your energies to get your career on
the right path.
December: Capricorn December 22 - January 19
You're a mass of
confusion and indecision this month, and you're allowing your emotions to get
the better of you to the point where you're unable to ask a constructive
question or take the slightest decision. The association of the Lovers and the
Moon is pulling at your heart strings. It won't be hard to make you doubt
yourself and your feelings, and the slightest criticism will upset you. Have a
bit more confidence in yourself. In your professional sphere, no doubt, you
will have to choose between keeping everything as it is, and an urge to make
drastic changes. The Lovers put you in a situation of embarrassment, while the
Chariot is pushing you into action. In this rather destabilizing situation it
would be best to give yourself time for reflection and not just go along with
your impulses. Slow down the horses of your chariot; you have reached a
bifurcation and need to direct them in one way or the other.
