Just five days before a total solar eclipse in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, two of the three powers behind this align today. It will take the Moon's return to create the solar eclipse, but as the Sun and North Node align today this is access to the real power behind the scenes. In every aspect of your life, from your job, your relationships, matters of the heart and everything in between, listen to what your heart is telling you.

The Moon's first visit to your income sector since Venus left, is both a chance to regroup and tap back into the lucrative sense of direction she left you with. This is a huge advantage for work and job matters, which are just now starting to gain some serious traction. With the rest of the year likely to fly past in a busy blur, having a lucrative sense of direction is everything. This is also a chance to take another look at your expectations across all the currencies in your life.

At a time when the focus is all on income matters and in an important and powerful way, the Moon brings it back onto money matters as a whole today. The Moon is just passing through and will be gone by tomorrow, which is why the emotional, intuitive and imaginative responses being evoked will be so insistent on being heard. An opposition with Saturn on the income front might create some financial tension, but both sides will benefit by what it brings to your attention.

While the Moon left your work sector yesterday, it moved through at such a pivotal time across the career and income fronts that you can only now process the implications. As you look back over the last few days you'll find it easier to join the dots across the income, work and career fronts.

Horoscopes for week beginning 14 August 2017
Dear Ram, Mercury began his three week retrograde on Sunday in your work and health sector, which gives you the perfect opportunity to review your diet and exercise regime to ascertain what actually works best for you. There are two beautiful trines on Monday that will give you the chance to shine in both sensitive and practical ways at the same time. The first is a Sun Saturn trine in your house of children which allows you to pass knowledge and wisdom down to those that are still learning how to deal with the many twists and turns of life. At the same time, Neptune trines Venus, which plays out in your home sector, affording you a sensitive ear and a compassionate heart. There is nothing that you won't do to help or make your nearest and dearest more comfortable this week, and Saturn has given you the patience of Job to go with this. On Sunday when Mars picks up some super creative energy from Jupiter, why not have everyone around for a feast? It's what you do best right now and it will feed your sense of generosity.

Horoscopes for week beginning 14 August 2017
Dear Bull, you have a mind to be heard this week with Venus in your communication zone, taking on an intense Pluto opposition and then a Jupiter square. In fact, it may be very difficult to keep your opinions to yourself and a lot of self control may be called for right through the week in order to avoid verbal conflict. This being said, if there is an axe to grind, now is the time to get to the nitty gritty and clear the air. Just remember to listen as well as declare your own feelings, so that you can give your conversation partner a fair chance. The Sun picks up some very responsible energy at the beginning of the week in your family zone which sees you getting a grip on affairs of the home. Listen to those who are older and wiser to get some tried and tested guidance in this area. By Sunday you will have a good handle on this subject, and when Mars and Jupiter connect favourably across this sector of your zodiac, there will be stamina to tackle the hardest family challenges.

Dear Twin, Mercury the ruler of your sign has started his retrograde through your home zone and for the next three weeks you will be reviewing family and living conditions so that you can tie down any loose ends in this area of your life. Perhaps you are needing to move on to a different environment, or just seeing where you could tighten up relationships within the family sphere? The Sun and Saturn are in a very advantageous angle with each other across your communication zone and this will help you to have the responsible and mature communications that are needed to tackle any deals that you need to close. There is strain on your money zone this week as Venus takes on some very intense energy from Pluto and Jupiter that could blow your budget out of the water if you are not mindful. Keep your eye on your priorities and don't fall prey to financial temptation, it will only lead to buyers regret. Sunday brings you a high energy transit of Mars and Jupiter that is conducive to working hard and playing harder. Get out on the sports field and burn off some energy!

Dear Crab, this is an excellent week for investments or closing money deals. The Sun in your value zone picks up some fortunate energy from Saturn that affords you a sober mind when it comes to your financial portfolio. Focus on your long term money goals this week and by Sunday, Mars and Jupiter will be available in the same area to give you a boost of luck. Mercury started his three week retrograde on Sunday and it begins in your communication sector, and ends up in your money sector, where you can review what you started this week. Right now though, there is a general addressing of your social circles and how they fit or don't fit your schedules these days. Keep an open mind and allow Mercury to show you what you need to trim down or adjust. You possess a good portion of grace and a friendly demeanour when Venus is in your personal zone like she is at the moment, but do be mindful of being over powering this week when Pluto opposes her and intensifies the manner in which you relate to others.

Dear Lion, with Mercury now in retrograde, and starting his journey back through your money sector, you will be having a good long look at your expenses and how you can tweak them into more manageable bites. This won't put a dampener on your spirits though, after all, it's your birthday month and you have the beautiful Sun in your personal zone lighting up the door way of your new solar year ahead. Even more auspicious for you is the fact that the Sun is getting wonderfully practical and achievement orientated beams from Saturn to smooth your path ahead for you. Your self esteem is set to rise and this is only the beginning. Venus, in your psychological zone, is very happy to receive a compassionate download from Neptune on Monday that lights up your week and puts you in the mood to day dream. Perhaps you are thinking about the year ahead and how advantageously you are going to progress? Watch a romantic movie, have a relaxing massage or spend the day in spiritual contemplation.

Dear Maiden, now that Mercury has started to retrograde through your personal zone, the next three weeks will give you the chance to review the way that you project your image in your surroundings. How can you refine your responses and round off any of the rough edges of your personality, to bring favourable returns in the future? The Sun is in your psychological zone right now, which naturally affords you a sense of compassion, but this week with a helpful Saturn connection, you also have far more patience than usual and an eye for detail. Mars is activated by Jupiter in the same area of your zodiac on Sunday, and the combination of these energies gives you the opportunity to reach out to those that may be in need of some spiritual guidance, or a dose of some good old fashioned wisdom. This is a great week to extend yourself in service, it will energise your mind and lift your spirits. It's just what you didn't realised that you needed!

Horoscopes for week beginning 14 August 2017
Dear Scale Bearer, Mercury has finally started to take you through a journey of your inner mind, and during the next three weeks you will be reconciling your deepest thoughts, so that you can bring more structure to them. It is advisable to go with your gut feelings while this process is under way and not to assume knowledge of the outcome, but remain open to any necessary paradigm changes that reveal themselves to you. There is a wonderful Sun Saturn trine that plays out in your house of friends this week that puts you in the limelight as the trusted companion. You could find that you are called upon to assist friends who know they can rely on your patience and virtue in their time of need. It is also an excellent week to get your long term goals tied down because Saturn affords you the responsibility to tackle routine chores that you may normally just sweep under the mat. Indeed with Venus in a square aspect to Jupiter on Thursday, your mind will be on socializing rather than the seriousness of work. Take the day off and play, you've earned it.

Dear Scorpion, your friends are a very important part of your life and with Mercury's retrograde turn over the next three weeks, you will be given the opportunity to review just what this means to you. Perhaps there are some issues that need to be set straight, or you might have to step up to the plate yourself when it comes to putting your money where your mouth is. This time for retrospection will prove most helpful to you in the future. This is also a week to shine on the career stage while the Sun takes on some very fortuitous energy from Saturn and possibly gets you some long overdue recognition from a superior. People may come to you for advice now or give you more responsibility in your job because your overall demeanour in the work place is one of trustworthiness and capability. Well done you! By Thursday when Venus in your adventure zone takes on the mighty Jupiter, you would do well to go to a foreign movie or experience some exciting and different cuisine. It's definitely and optimistic play day that could take you wherever the wind blows.

Dear Centaur, your reputation and public face are the theme of the Mercury retrograde that started on Sunday in your professional zone. For the next three weeks you will be finding ways to restore any misgivings that may have occurred in this area of your life recently. Review any misunderstandings and set the record straight for a renewed and polished image in September. With the Sun and Mars both taking on very fortuitous energy from Saturn and Jupiter in your philosophical sector, you could also be knuckling down on your belief system. Saturn ensures that you have the structure and responsibility that is needed to bring your point across to others, and Jupiter connecting with Mars brings stamina and endurance to carry this message as far as you need to. This is an ideal week for you to tackle any difficult tasks of the higher mind because success is almost certainly guaranteed. This is a moralistic and realistic transit in a very open minded part of your zodiac that could gift you an opportunity to receive some deep wisdom.

Dear Goat, you will be considering the future according to your belief system over the next three weeks while Mercury, who has now gone retrograde through your philosophical sector, re examines your overall life philosophies and reassesses what the truth may really mean to you. Use this time to revise, re educate and explore the differences in the world, along with how you feature in the big scheme of things. Venus is also ignited this whole week in your partnership zone, which gets you and your significant other dealing with power play pressures. The best way to handle any overwhelming feelings is to identify their source and expose their hidden truths. In this way you will be laying to rest any dramas and opening the door to a smoother partnership experience all around. Not a moment too soon, the Sun and Mars both pick up helpful and expanding energy in your shared resource zone that will get you and your partner on the same page of the ledger. Saturn provides the structure and maturity to get your cards on the table and Jupiter gifts you the optimism and courage to finally balance this area of your life.

Dear Water Bearer, for the next three weeks while Mercury retrogrades through your shared resource sector you will be given the opportunity to sum up where you stand with regards to the shared assets between yourself and a partner. Are you getting a fair share of the financial cake, or are you demanding more than you deserve? Spend this time reviewing debt, discussing investments and bringing financial balance back into the equation. If need be you may be called on to re allocate or re pay in order to do this. Don't panic, all is not lost because the Sun in your partnership zone picks up a constructive trine from Saturn that brings stability and reality into the picture. This will give you and a partner the chance to set some sterling future goals that should take care of any loose ends on the financial front as well. If that were not helpful enough, Mars in the same area of your zodiac picks up creative energy from expansive Jupiter on Sunday that elevates your libido and imparts fortune on any plans that are set at this time. Way to go!

Dear Fish, when Mercury retrogrades through your house of partners, like he has just started to do now, you could find yourself re negotiating the terms of your personal relationships. These could be the unspoken rules that form the bonds of your liaison, which are often taken for granted. Over the next three weeks it's best to allow Mercury to do his job and get the channels of communication open with regards to what is unclarified. Whether this is a marriage or business partner, it is necessary now to refine the thread of this relationship. On the health front, this week is one of the best times to start a new diet or fitness regime because the Sun is picking up a very practical and constructive trine from Saturn. This will give you a well structured look at reality, as well as the ability to set a long term goal around this sector of your life. Mars comes to your aid in this department on Sunday as well with an invigorating Jupiter trine which gifts expanded endurance and determination. You know you can do it!

Aries
Horoscopes for August 2017
August is always going to be a month where life is a lot more playful, colourful, romantic and creative, but also the month where balance between work and play at some point becomes an issue. That is because the Sun will always start August in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart, but end the month in your work sector. This year this is a little more extreme, with fun, playful, romantic and creative forces not dropping back until after the Sun leaves on the 23rd August and work and job developments are in play from the get go. When that happens it is usually work and job matters that win out, with play something that we tend to get around to once we have time. If life is busy, either at work or just with life in general, then life can become all work and no play. That is unlikely to be the case this month and it is all because on the fun, playful, romantic and creative front we have a fast burn and on the work front a slow burn. Mars is spending the whole month fuelling your romantic and creative passions and fighting spirit and with a total solar eclipse here on the 22nd August, it would take some demanding work forces to stymie this. Luckily that is not the case, for while Mercury will spend the whole month in your work sector, turning retrograde on the 13th August work and job matters are happy to play out slowly. That is important, for this is also an important month for home and relationship and an auspicious and potentially fateful month for friendship and relationship building. From the get go embrace this exciting month with a commitment to work/life balance and to a balance between work and play.

Taurus
Horoscopes for August 2017
While Venus will leave your income sector on the 1st August she will leave you with a lucrative sense of direction that will prove crucial this month. For with a lunar eclipse in your career sector on the 8th August and Jupiter moving into his final two months in your work sector on the 11th August, there is some serious traction to be gained on both fronts. It was last month that Venus aligned with both Jupiter and the South Node, the forces behind this month's lunar eclipse. It is not only a lucrative sense of direction that will ensure Venus' work will continue, but you remain confident. On the 1st August Venus joins Ceres in a job that will take the two goddesses of the solar system to pull off. The biggest challenge these two sister planets face is making their gift compelling enough for you to seize it with both hands. That gift is the gift of connecting, being able to give your heart a voice and not just open the communication lines, but in a compelling way. Venus will remain in your communication sector until the 26th August, but Ceres will stay on for another month. Venus is the planet of love and guardian of your relationships and Ceres the queen of nurturing. Yet the problem they face is convincing you how important this is. For they know what you don't, in that on the 11th August you will be just two months away from your most important relationship year in over a decade. A year that will extend from October 2017 to November 2018. Both will be gone from your communication sector by then, which is why the work is being put in now. Work that goes beyond words or any one conversation, but to the heart of how you want and need to connect.

Gemini
Horoscopes for August 2017
Like a bell that can't be unrung, Venus might leave Gemini in the early hours of the month, but she is here at the birth of the month and will have an influence. This is important, for as the planet of love and guardian of your relationships she has a vested interest in what is an important month on both the romantic and relationship fronts. It was last month that Venus interacted directly with both Jupiter in your romantic sector and Saturn in your relationship sector. Venus returns to Gemini once a year, usually at some point during your birthday month. This year Venus returned two weeks after the Sun left, allowing her to make a standalone visit. This meant that instead of her mission to update your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year being thrown in with the rest of your resolutions, they were able have their own separate chapter and that's important. For when Venus returned to Gemini early last month, it was to find lucky Jupiter in your romantic sector for the first time in 12 years and Saturn in your relationship sector, for the last time for another 28 years. Venus was the perfect planet to make the last contact with both. Jupiter leaves your romantic sector in two months from the 11th October and Saturn wraps up his last retrograde phase in your relationship sector for another three decades on the 26th August. Fortunately there is a massive amount of communication support, including a total solar eclipse in your communication sector on the 22nd August. While Venus takes off her planet of love hat as she moves into the month and dons her planet of money hat as she returns to your income sector, she leaves you with a clear sense of where your heart stands.

Cancer
Horoscopes for August 2017
When your birthday month came to a close on the 23rd July this will often bring all planetary activity in Cancer to a close for the year and that was the case last year. This year that is not the case, with two special planets staying on. I don't believe in coincidences and because I know what's coming, it makes absolute sense why Venus, planet of love should delay her return to Cancer this year. Venus moves through Cancer once a year, on a mission to update your romantic and relationship desires and expectations for the coming year, while also giving your heart a say in what you want in general from your new solar year. Because Venus' return on the 1st August comes nine days after the Sun left, her mission is a standalone one, separate to the more mundane housekeeping and resolutions that take place during a birthday month. Key to why Venus' late return is so important, is the playful and romantically charged lunar vibes in play from the 30th July to the 2nd August. They will be in effect as Venus returns on the 1st August. This is important, for this year Venus has an important mission. That mission is to prepare for your luckiest year for love, matters of the heart and all things fun, playful, romantic and creative, which kicks off in early October. By the time Venus leaves Cancer on the 26th July, Jupiter will be six weeks and four days away from his first visit to your romantic and creative sector in 12 years. In a month dominated by major income developments and some stunning developments across the income, work and career fronts, Venus is flying the flag for everything fun, playful, romantic and creative and close to your heart.

Leo
Horoscopes for August 2017
If a solar year can be judged by how it begins, then you are in for one incredible year. There are two layers to the advantage you have moved into this new solar year with. The first is Mars, planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos. Mars returned to Leo on the 21st July, two days before the Sun returned and won't leave until early September. With the Sun leaving Leo and bringing your birthday month to a close on the 23rd August, Mars is not only here for the whole of August, but every moment of your birthday month. You have begun a solar year with the planet of passion and the warrior planet of the cosmos on board from the get go and your whole birthday month will be spent with him at your side, telling you what's possible and giving you the courage to embrace life head on. If that had been all then this would be an incredible start to a new solar year, with every reason to believe that the rest of your solar year would be touched by this. But for the first time in 17 years the Sun returned to find the North Node here and for Mars this is the first time in 36 years. The North Node brings the element of fate and potential already there before this year even begun, but is also the reason for a total solar eclipse on the 22nd August. This creates the potential for major new beginnings and the opening of major new doors. The last time you had the Sun, Mars and the North Node in Leo at the same time was in 1925, 92 years ago. So to say this has the potential to be one of your most stunning solar years ever is no exaggeration. With a lunar eclipse in your relationship sector on the 8th August, there is something fateful developing on the relationship front as well.

Virgo
Horoscopes for August 2017
Across many areas of your life you are likely to find that the wind has been taken out of your sails or there is the desire or the need to spend more time in life's slow lane. This is par for the course at this time of year, with the first three weeks of August always the final weeks of your old solar year. Until returning to Virgo on the 23rd August to begin your birthday month and new solar year, the Sun will spend his time in a nostalgic part of your chart. As happens at this time every year. This year this might be more extreme because you also have Mars here as well. Not due to return to Virgo until early next month, the six week wind down of your current Mars cycle will be in effect the whole month. This does bring a need to avoid pushing yourself and making time to hear yourself think. However, this won't be debilitating. In fact, with a total solar eclipse in this reflective part of your chart on the 22nd August, this could be a time for coming up with great ideas or flashes of inspiration. When you give yourself permission to take time out to hear yourself think, you create the potential for new ideas to take shape. A combination of Venus leaving your career sector on the 1st August, Jupiter moving into his final two months in your income sector on the 11th August and a lunar eclipse in your work sector on the 8th August, will keep you busy. This creates a good month across the income, work and career fronts. Thanks to Venus this will also be a social and serendipitous month, with little chance to shutting yourself off from life. What you will savour though, is any down time, when you do have time to hear yourself think.

Horoscopes for August 2017
While Venus will leave an adventurous part of your chart on 1st August and there are no more planets to pass the torch to, it will take very little to keep a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure alive. This will live on in the two alliances Venus was able to build last month. One with the South Node in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart and the other with Jupiter, in Libra. It is a lunar eclipse in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart on the 8th August that will come wrapped in a sense of adventure. At the same time, as Jupiter prepares to move into his final two months in Libra on the 11th August, this allows you to look to and see the future for the journey that it is. Having returned to Libra last September, you are now in the final months of what is the foundation year for a new 12 year Jupiter cycle of expansion. Things have not always been easy, with conflict with relationship forces in the first half of the year only now behind you. Venus' sense of adventure has given you the courage and confidence to make these final months count. Where there was relationship tensions or challenges in the first half of the year, something authentic is emerging. With Eris spending her first full month in retrograde motion in your relationship sector, Uranus turning retrograde here on the 3rd August and Saturn in retrograde motion in your communication sector until the 26th August, there is something special developing. There is also something special developing on the career front this month. Yet there are two things happening here, one you can and the other you can't see. What you can see is everything coming together on the career front. What you can't see is how this is lining you up for some serious income growth from early October.

Scorpio
Horoscopes for August 2017
As much as you have reached a massive month for career developments and a month where things could get extremely busy, there are some important safety features in place. This is always a month when you will have your professional hat on from the get go. For as is the case every year, the Sun is in your career sector until the 23rd August, keeping the solar spotlight on your career and professional situation, matters and options. This year you have Mars on board as well. Having returned on the 21st July and not due to leave until early September, Mars will spend the whole month fuelling your professional passions, fighting and competitive spirit. When you add in a total solar eclipse on the 22nd August and you have the potential for some major new beginnings, but also a busy month. But as I said, there are some safety features built in to ensure things don't become too manic and out of control. One of those safety features is from the professional gods themselves, the other life is putting in place. The first safety feature is Eris and Uranus. Whether it is Eris in her first full month in retrograde motion in your work sector or Uranus who turns retrograde here on the 3rd August, they're at a near standstill all month. With both in retrograde motion from the 3rd August, while things are hurtling forward on the career front, on the work and job front and in your day to day life on the coal front, they are slowing down. This allows you to stick to your knitting, while also exploring new career developments. The other safety feature is Venus and Ceres. Between them they will keep a sense of wanderlust, curiosity and adventure in play all month. There will even be a mix of romance, adventure and nostalgia thrown into the mix as well.

Horoscopes for August 2017
Despite the fact that Mercury will spend the whole month in your career sector and the Sun will return on the 23rd August, it is very unlikely that life will become all work and no play. Not only is this being balanced by some very powerful forces in play on the adventurous front, the professional gods themselves are in no hurry. Mercury returned to your career sector on the 26th July for what should have been 15 day, fast paced and urgency fuelled sprint. Instead Mercury is slowing down ahead of a retrograde turn on the 13th August and won't leave until later next month. This is a chance to not only slowly get your head in the game, ideas on the table and the communication lines open, but to then retrace your steps. Even the Sun's return might throw the solar spotlight on your career situation and matters, but until Mars returns early next month, there will be no urgency. It is next month that the pace will pick up, allowing you to start slow and steady. Just as well, for you not only have the Sun in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery until the 23rd August and Mars fuelling a passion for adventure all month, but a total solar eclipse here on the 22nd August. This brings the potential for major new beginnings and a chance to embark on new journeys, across all aspects of your life. In the meantime, while Venus is creating a good month for money matters, there is an opportunity for a communication and/or relationship breakthrough around the 8th August. You can thank a lunar eclipse in your communication sector, a week after Venus' departure from your relationship sector for that.

Horoscopes for August 2017
There are so many layers to this month and there will be so many hats you'll need to wear, that smart time management will be required. While you start the month with Venus in your work sector, leaving in the early hours of the 1st August, all she will do is open the door and point you in the right direction. Yet it was Venus' alignment with Jupiter in your career sector last month that has allowed work and job matters to hitch a ride. This means that when Jupiter moves into his final two months in your career sector on the 11th August, work and job matters will come along for the ride. Also coming along for the ride will be all the income potential that has been building over recent months. This comes in a month when the focus is always going to be on your financial situation and money matters, with the Sun in your financial sector until the 23rd August. This year Mars is along for the ride, spending the whole month fuelling your financial passions and fighting spirit. With a lunar eclipse in your income sector on the 8th August and a total solar eclipse in your financial sector on the 22nd August, this is a big month on both fronts. So by now it is clear that this is a month where you'll need to wear your work, professional and money hats. However, make way for your relationship hat as well, with Venus in your relationship sector until the 26th August and Ceres here all month. This should be a good month for relationship matters. Venus, planet of love and guardian of your relationships and Ceres, queen of nurturing are meeting up here for the first time in nine years. Throughout that time it is with the full support of the communication gods.

Aquarius
Horoscopes for August 2017
When Venus leaves a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart in the early hours of the month there are no more planets to pass the torch to. Not here anyway, but there is little chance of what she started going off the boil. This is thanks to Venus' alignment with Jupiter in your sector of adventure, travel, learning and discovery last month. With Jupiter moving into his final two months in this adventurous part of your chart on the 11th August, he will keep the spirit of romance and adventure alive. Venus was there to support Jupiter when he needed it, so he will be happy to return the favour. While Venus will go on to spend the majority of the month in your work sector, she is more interested in capitalising on the hard work already done. Mars left on the 21st August and the Sun on the 23rd August, focused more on attracting opportunities and bringing things home, than acting as a hard taskmaster. Venus is much more comfortable with stealing the glory from the work busier forces have already invested. So while things should go well on the job front this month and you should attract opportunities, it is unlikely to be manically busy, not as it has been in the past. With Jupiter just two months away from your career sector by the 11th August, you can do with a chance to catch your breath. Where the real focus is this month is on the relationship front. With the Sun in your relationship sector until the 23rd August, Mars all month and a total solar eclipse here on the 22nd August, this has the potential to be a breakthrough month. A lunar eclipse in Aquarius on the 8th August will confront these relationship forces, with a reminder of the importance of a balance between your personal and relationship needs.

Pisces
Horoscopes for August 2017
Every indicator for a busy month is here and then some this month, creating the potential for a month that is manically busy, both at work and with life in general. While the main focus is on your work sector this month, the full title the ancients gave to this area of your chart is the sector of 'hard work and service to others'. That means paid and unpaid work. Whatever makes your life busy, expect it to expand exponentially this month. You can thank three different factors all coming together to create the perfect storm. The first is the month itself. The Sun will always spend the first three weeks of August in your work sector, so this will always be the potentially busiest month in any year. Potentially, because if Mars happens to be moving through, this will take the crown. Mars only moves through your work sector once every two years, creating the busiest six weeks in any two year period. But when the busiest month in any year meets the busiest year in a two year period, then this moves to a whole new level. And Mars is spending the whole of August in your work sector. However, there is a third factor and that is the North Node, making its first visit to your work sector in 17 years. This is the force behind a total solar eclipse here on the 22nd August and the major new developments and beginnings this could open the door to. However, there are some safeguards to ensure life doesn't become all work and no play. The most important is Venus, who is in a fun, playful, romantic and creatively charged part of your chart until the 26th August. There couldn't be a better planet to champion a need for balance between work and play, especially in an important month for relationship matters.
