Forecast Week Beginning 19th August 2013

ARIES:  (Born between 21^st March & 20^th April)

Do not rush things or overstep the mark or you could find matters getting out of control more quickly than you thought.  Someone else will be focussed on being controlled or determined to have things go their way.  You can be optimistic with the facts only to find they can hold you back big time by having to correct things.

TAURUS:  (Born between 21^st April & 20^th May) 

Review any pressures or increased responsibilities you have been experiencing over the last month.  You may have taken on more than you intended.  Now is the time to create more balance by looking at how this can be coped with on a daily basis.  Also any affects it may have had on your health or the way you take care of yourself.

GEMINI:  (Born between 21^st May & 20^th June)

You can get yourself well organised from now to 9^th September.  You may realise this is necessary if things have been chaotic since early August.  It may be hard to establish a starting point.  By maintaining a constant focus you will eventually find the right solutions presenting themselves.  Spending on impulse is not a solution.

CANCER:   (Born between 21^st June & 22^nd July)

You will want to break free, particularly from situations where somebody else is overbearing in their manner or setting out to have control, no matter what.  You can remain grounded if you have peace at home or in some other environment that allows some form of momentary escape.  Occupy your mind with detailed plans.

LEO:   (Born between 23^rd July & 22^nd August)

Pay attention to what has either developed or become more obvious with others over the last month.  This can make you realise what you should remain free of, especially so that your future plans do not get thwarted.  It would not be wise to make this obvious.  Focus your mind on what you need to cope with daily.

VIRGO:  (Born between 23^rd August & 22^nd September)

Mercury, the planet of thought and your ruling planet, moves into your sign where it will stay until 9^th September.  This is when you should think about matters that concern you and the decisions you want to make for yourself.  Find time to contemplate to begin with and then ideas will become clear, stimulating confidence.

LIBRA:  (Born between 23^rd September & 22^nd October)

Your sense of self will have a strong injection of power and this can make you realise just how much control you want to exert over your circumstances.  This could be stimulated by the freedom or independence somebody else expects to have while leaving responsibilities to you.  Choose your words carefully.

SCORPIO:  (Born between 23^rd October & 21^st November)

Developments in the home and family over the last month have been more significant than usual.  Much could have come out in the open.  This could also be the case with anything you have been putting in place for future growth.  You can now begin to realise decisions you need to make but this can still wait a while.

SAGITTARIUS:  (Born between 22^nd November & 21^st December)

The hidden agenda of others can annoy you and perhaps too easily.  You need to focus on the things you are responsible for to mid September.  This may not provide the level of enjoyment you would prefer but it is nevertheless necessary.  Enjoyment with friends or groups of people will be available but needs to be kept separate.

CAPRICORN:  (Born between 22^nd December & 19^th January)

Keeping control of your personal position has a lot to do with maintaining balance with the level of obligations you accept.  Others will be more than willing to free themselves up.  You need to ensure this doesn’t infringe on the way you have established your independence.  Concentrate on future goals to early September.

AQUARIUS:  (Born between 20^th January & 18^th February)

The second Full Moon occurs in your sign this week making the last month a very important and likely unique time on a personal level.  Consider what has come to a head in this time.  Be careful you do not over commit yourself to matters that could interfere with your daily routine.  Be careful about promises from somebody else.

PISCES:  (Born between 19^th February & 20^th March)

There has been a lot developing in the background for the last month.  The position that someone else is willing to take can start to become more obvious from now to early September.  They might still try to keep things hidden but won’t be so successful.  Involve yourself in something pleasurable to help release tensions.
