ARIES (March 21 - April 20)
Love is in the air this month, Aries, and August is always a special month for you. Get outdoors and play with your loved ones. Even the dog would love a romp in the park! You'll have a friendly aura about you this month and people will notice. Have fun with your newfound popularity but don't get caught up in the troubles of friends. As much as you'd love to help, remember, this is their problem, not yours. August is a month for you to have fun, relax, and handle creative tasks that you've been putting off. You could create a masterpiece! Famous Ariens: Claire Danes and Matthew Broderick.

TAURUS (April 21 - May 21)
This is an extremely busy month for you, Taurus, with most of the work being centered around the home. Around the 9th and 11th, stay in control as someone tries to upset the apple-cart. Don't let anyone infringe upon your rights and don't give in no matter what! Jupiter is in your sign protecting you from bullies and irritable types. Just let them spout off and concentrate on maintaining that famous Taurean poise you're known for. The end of August will bring pleasurable times as the sun enters Virgo, another friendly earth sign. If you feel uncertain on the 25th, it will pass by the 28th. Famous Taureans: Carmen Electra and Jay Leno.

GEMINI (May 22 - June 21)
As much as you love to chat it up, Gemini, you'll be eager to communicate even more so with friends and associates in August. If you are travelling, you'll enjoy yourself immensely as you meet friendly people and very interesting romantic possibilities. Since your mind is so readily active now, it could be an enjoyable time to read, write letters, or perhaps study. If you've been putting any of these projects off, it's a good time to pick them up again. You'll be filled with knowledge this month, Gemini, but don't smother those you love with a know-it-all attitude. It won't work. Famous Geminians: Annette Bening and Bob Dylan.

CANCER (June 22 - July 22)
August will be an intense month for finances. If you can stay ahead of the game, you'll be glad you did by the end of the month. It seems as if everything that happens this month affects your pocketbook, leaving you with an uneasy feeling of worry and woe. On the other hand, since it's all about money now, you could happen to hear of an opportunity that might benefit you in a big way financially, so keep your eyes and ears open for unusual opportunities, perhaps overheard at the grocery store or corner Starbucks. Crazier things have happened, right? The 25th will wrap up a long term problem and by the 28th, you'll be feeling fabulous. Famous Cancerians: Meryl Streep and Sylvester Stallone.

LEO (July 23 - August 22)
If you worry about your image in the eyes of others, this month is the perfect time to change all that. The Sun is beating down on your sign, Leo, and you are the favored one in August. You can advance your own interests now and charm the birds off the trees while doing so. Everybody wants to be your friend now because your outlook is positively electric. But because you're so overburdened with popularity now, Leo, don't allow it to overwhelm you. Relax and don't go to emotional extremes. It will only drain all of this fabulous energy. Famous Leonians: Whitney Houston and Michael Richards.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 23)
Private and confidential matters will loom on the horizon this month. You'll need time to think and you should take it. This isn't an active month for you, but it's a good one for taking it easy, catching up, re-thinking old habits and correcting what you don't like about yourself. As they say, a little self-analysis is always good for the soul. After the 25th, a lot of things will start to go your way, so take it easy now, rejuvenate your mind, and be ready for what life might throw at you. Rest up! Famous Virgoans: Sophia Loren and Keanu Reeves.

LIBRA (September 24 - October 23)
New friends and old friends will be a delight to see this month, Libra. You'll want to keep active and enlarge your social circle if you can. It should be a busy and active month for you, with the only fly in the ointment occurring around the 9th through the 12th. On these days, it won't be you who'll be causing the trouble, it'll be someone close to you who decides to hatch a major problem, placing you smack dab in the middle. If you can skate through this period without too much frustration and involvement, you'll come out the winner and experience a beautiful month of pleasure and socializing with those you love most. Famous Librans: Sharon Osborne and John Mayer.

SCORPIO (October 24 - November 22)
You'll be popular on the job this month, Scorpio. You'll be willing to carry your load and get the job done. Because of this, superiors might single you out for your steadfast loyalty and ask you to take on a little more. If you go along with them, you could see your career rising by your birthday in a big way. On the 26th, Mercury moves ahead in direct motion, clearing out any mental debris that was causing you doubt. You're going to look good, feel good, and perform really-really good by month’s end! Famous Scorpians: Vanessa Minnillo and Keith Urban.

SAGITTARIUS (November 23 - December 21)
It's going to be a pretty good month, Sag. Just be a good listener to all of those complainers who've surrounded you lately and keep moving forward with your own sensible plans. You've been overdue for a break - and this is a month where you might see opportunity coming towards you at lightning speed. Be ready for it. Get out there, network, travel, and socialize. Do what it takes to expand your horizons and discover new challenges. People want to be around you now, so take full advantage of your popularity and use it to your benefit. Famous Sagittarians: Katie Holmes and Bruce Lee.

CAPRICORN (December 22 - January 20)
Money you share with others could be a topic of conversation this month, Capricorn. Real Estate matters, mutual accounts, tax issues and estate matters could be bothersome to you now and it'll be best if you stay on top of things until the 25th. Mercury will be retrograde, causing errors and mistakes. Something as simple as a computer error at the bank might lead to plenty of confusion, time wasted, and an accusation or two concerning who did what. Eventually, the computer will work it all out, but what about you? If you can steer clear of doing or signing anything important, especially related to any of the above, don't do it between the 2nd and the 25th. I know that's a long stretch, but Mercury is retrograde during this time and it's wise to remember that a penny saved is a penny earned. Famous Capricornians: Kate Bosworth and Rod Stewart.

AQUARIUS (January 21 - February 19)
Relationship issues will fill up your dance card this month, Aquarius. Not only with your one special partner, but with everyone who is close to you, friends, parents, cousins, siblings, children, employers, etc. Unfortunately, someone other than you thinks they'll have the right to get cranky and bossy this month, and they will definitely include you in on their unhappiness. Try not to get caught up in this scene because you are going to have enough on your plate in August with issues of your own. Mercury is retrograde most of the month (2nd through 25th) and plenty of out of the blue type situations can occur. Although you oftentimes like the out of the blue type lifestyle, don't get involved in all of this pettiness if you can help it. Famous Aquarians: Bridgit Fonda and Clark Gable.

PISCES (February 20 - March 20)
Health issues are on the front burner this month. Get out there and start walking if you're feeling sloppy and tired. There's no time like the present to bring yourself back. Issues on the job could be a concern. You'll feel like you're working harder than ever but your superiors don't seem to care. From the 2nd through the 25th, Mercury is in retrograde position. This could cause all sorts of mistakes, miscommunications, etc. If you lose your car keys on the 2nd and can't find them until the 25th, you'll get an idea as to what I'm talking about. Just go with the flow and take heart in knowing that everyone is feeling this frustration in one way or another. By the end of the month, things will finally move ahead at a normal pace. Be ready for it. Famous Pisceans: Drew Barrymore and Jon Bon Jovi.
