Star Power: 12 August to 18 August

We hope that you had a nice week. Now have a look at your week ahead, and we wish you luck for this week. Not only this, we also foretell the future of those whose birthdays lie this week.

Aries: March 21 to April 20
As Mars, the planet of war, approaches a fresh region of your chart, it forms as an intriguing relationship with that unrestrained planet Jupiter. You must therefore expect a battle of wills , perhaps over some issue of principle or other. It is a time to exaggerate and claim more than your due!

Taurus: April 21 to May 21
Colleagues and associates have been jockeying for position, but I can’t see any cause for you to worry. Indeed you can stand any amount of competition and rivalry and still come out on top; such is the miraculous protection you receive from Venus, the irrepressible planet of friendship.

Gemini: May 22 to June 21
The last series of emotional lunar alignments may have been mildly upsetting, but on the plus side at least you know now who your friends are. You have also received a much better sense of your own potential and limits. You will therefore find it much easier to follow your instincts in the future.

Cancer: June 22 to July 23
An important and thoroughly helpful group of planets is cruising towards a special part of the zodiac, so you have a great deal to look forward to over the coming months. However, a sudden enthusiasm may be stalled, perhaps by lack of money. And that’s where more experienced people come into the picture.

Leo; July 24 to August 23
Many Leos are now cruising around incognito, hiding behind a mask or some exotic disguise. You are anxious to avoid the awkward encounters which could take place if you are absolutely honest about your intentions. You have every right to keep your feelings to yourself.

Virgo: August 24 to September 23
It’s because Mercury has been sparkling away in powerful regions of your chart that you have started to come out of your shell. Never lose the sight of the knowledge that a general sense of personal satisfaction is more important to you than are the precise details of work and family chores.

Libra: September 24 to October 23
This is often one of the most demanding periods of the year at home, not because you are facing great difficulties but on the account of the fact that your planetary cycles gather in the same region of your chart. You will soon realize that major improvements are far overdue.

Scorpio: October 24 to November 22
Continue your current policy of friendliness and adventure and resist any tendency to slump back into one of your famous Scorpionic moods. You must have realized by now that it’s much more pleasant to be happy and optimistic than to be constantly looking out for problems.

Sagittarius: November 23 to December 22
You will be more willing to give others the benefit of the doubt. Most astrologers recognize your open minded tolerance as one of your greatest qualities and, now that Venus is taking up a fresh challenge to your sign, harmony must be your watchword.
Capricorn: December 23 to January 20
The week’s event will soon demonstrate a tendency to spin out of control. You can do your bit by maintaining a sense that ethics and morality matter more than personal gain and advantage. Difficult as it may be, you can keep others perfectly in line.

Aquarius: January 21 to February 19
Everything is in a state of flux, so you should be in your element. After all, you do so hate to be tied down to the same daily rut. Best of all, Venus which is trucking past various romantic regions of your chart, reveals that someone is about to set your heart fluttering.

Pisces: February 20 to March 20
Entertaining family is on the cards for the next month or so. Some sort of celebration will be heralded by Venus’ entry into a new sector of your solar chart. More likely is a purely informal, but enjoyable, social encounter, one which might remind you of the way things used to be.

Birthdays:

12 August: Home affairs seem to be the focal point for a change, but in fact these could tie in to a new career opening, perhaps to do with a partner. Does this seem likely yet? If not, do give yourself a little more time. And make sure that the others do the same!

13 August: As the sun assumes a close relationship with your chart you must take precautions. First you must confirm any adventurous arrangements and second you must avoid misunderstandings. And then remember over the next year, not everything will be as it seems.

14 August: Business matters are much on your mind. If you are sensible you will soon be saving for the future and looking for ways to maximize your profits. Yet, if you follow your principles, accept invitations and you will realize that emotional riches are more important than money.

15 August: you will be picking up the benefits of the recent set of lunar alignments, so you should be making the most out of every chance to change or make a fresh start. In fact, the whole of the next year brings repeated opportunities to make a clean break with the pats. In particular you should stumble upon a new source of income.

16 August: Your emotional confidence will soon be growing, but the planets advise a small dose of caution. It may be difficult to practice restraint, but you will know when the moment is right to hold back. Finally a partner will agree that you were right all along. At least, that’s what the planets suggest. Hopefully partners will agree!

17 August: Venus and Saturn are prominent planets, so now it is time for you to focus on your long term security. There doesn’t seem anyway to can dodge your promises. In fact, you will be honoring old commitments and making new ones over the next 12 months – and revolutionizing your financial affairs.

18 August: you are about to experience a set of lively lunar alignments. This is always an important moment, allowing you to go in for a spot of emotional transformation. In the long run you must see that you are now beginning an entirely new personal cycle, one which is due to be fruitful and satisfying.
