Aries
Personal theme: I am!!
Fire & cardinal sign: March 21 -- April 19
Your horoscope for this week:
Last May your ruler Mars moved into the inquisitive Aquarius, triggering a period of exciting if unanticipated encounters, offers and ideas. All have been worth exploring. A few haven`t worked, but many have. Enough, that a review is timely. This begins Tuesday, when Mars shifts into practical Capricorn, and you decide which are merely intriguing versus those that could become a lasting part of your life.
Out of the blue an old friend will contact you. You have mixed feelings about this unexpected communication. It might be tempting to meet up again for old time`s sake but if you were more than friends and your partner hears about this, it could cause tension between you. If you have a choice, you will prefer to get some personal matters out of the way, but a family situation will result in you having to devote a lot of time to household affairs. Your time doesn`t feel like your own.
Your ruling planet, Mars, returns to the apex of your solar chart and the all-important careers sector. It does so as Mercury slows down prior to reaching its direct station next Sunday. It could be argued that this is the perfect week to review aims and objectives and prepare the next stage of your business plan. Given that Jupiter and Neptune make an important trine aspect next weekend, it would surely do no harm to think big. Those involved with any kind of public relations, social media or advertising could come up with fantastic plans. It would be as well though, remembering that Mercury (the planet of communications) is retrograde, to ensure that all copy is checked thoroughly before going to print. That said, your ideas should show unusual flair. It`s worth mentioning that this creativity can be applied in many areas of life: if on holiday, you could reach out of your comfort zone but simultaneously come up with a commercial proposition to be developed more fully after Mars stations at the end of the month.

Taurus
Personal theme: I have!!
Earth & fixed sign: April 20 -- May 20
Your horoscope for this week:
You`ve long intended to examine certain once-worthwhile arrangements with an eye to altering or, ideally, ending them. Finally, you can and, better yet, the process is straightforward. Since not everybody will agree, unless discussion is vital, proceed solo. Weeks, if not months, from now you`ll explain your reasoning to others and, by then, they`ll probably thank you. Meanwhile, you`ll be relieved these burdensome situations are history.
A disappointment will leave you feeling a little down. Old issues you thought had been resolved will resurface. Some exercise or mixing with friends who always look on the bright side will help lift your spirits. Activities around the home will be a good channel for your energy. Redesigning your garden, home improvements and your usual weekday chores will be grounding. It will be good to know you can depend on your family and closest friends for practical support.
Work and family may be combined in a couple of interesting ways. A family member`s advice may help you with a work-related matter. Also, you and your family members may brainstorm a home decoration project. In both scenarios, there`s an ease in communicating and working together that helps things go smoothly. You`ll also be in a good place with your significant other and your friends. Mutual understanding, compassion, and generosity help you connect in a deeper way. If only it was always this easy to get along!

Gemini
Personal theme: I think!!
Air sign: May 21 -- June 20
Your horoscope for this week:
Perfection doesn`t matter, but still, doing things halfway only means having to tackle them again later; and with your ruler Mercury retrograde until the 19th and the ongoing fallout from the three recent eclipses, even simple arrangements are complicated by unexpected developments. While you can`t avoid organising things, you can ensure plans are flexible enough that you can rethink them, and as frequently as necessary.
If nothing else, helping a neighbour out when they need it, will give you something to think about. You might feel lucky that your life is a whole less complicated than some people`s. They will be grateful to have you as a friend. You and a partner are trying to reach an agreement over some future plans. Be sure to listen to their concerns and consider their views and feelings. If you are both considerate of the other, you will work out what to do for the best.
Your ruling planet, Mercury, is still retrograde but arrives at its direct station next weekend. Over the next few days its movement seem barely perceptible. That might also be true of you! Mars, the planet of energy is also retrograde. It may be that you need time out to do little but stand and stare. That`s not to say that your brain won`t be working. Indeed, it`s probable that you`ll give considerable thought to your usual routine and how it might be improved. What should be obvious is that you need much better support. That may be easier to find in a few weeks` time once you are crystal clear as to what is actually needed. Though you may feel you know that now, it`s possible that this needs to be written down. The good news is that if you do need to prepare an advert or copy of some kind, that that task ought not to be too difficult. Indeed, given Mercury`s station coinciding with a fabulous aspect between Jupiter and Neptune, you could find exactly the right words. If there is a difficulty, it`s that a Capricorn might not agree with your plans. Getting this person on side will surely be a challenge in itself - and something that can`t be achieved until early next month.

Cancer
Personal theme: I feel!!
Water & cardinal sign: June 21 -- July 22
Your horoscope for this week:
Once you understand the shakeups in practical, business or financial matters you`re facing are part of a larger cycle of change, you`ll exchange worries for enthusiasm. True, it`s a steep learning curve; but, actually, that`s the point. The current planetary focus is on growth, which means the more questions you ask, the better advantage you`ll take of what`s already come your way and, importantly, what`s next.
Think before you speak and avoid misunderstandings. Check what you have written in e-mails and text messages. Sending a quick text without reading over what you said could cause someone a lot of confusion. Everything will seem like an uphill struggle. You might feel as if you`re up against problems every step of the way. All sorts of muddles and mishaps might slow you down but don`t take short cuts. If a job is worth doing, do it properly.
This weekend`s Solar Eclipse promised a fresh start. However, with Mercury and Mars still retrograde, it may be that there are mopping up tasks to be done before you can move forward. You might also need to wait for a Capricorn to make a decision. It could be that that`s something they can`t do until Mars turns direct in their sign at the very end of August. This though, should be an excellent time for blue skies thinking and planning ahead. A brilliant aspect between Jupiter and Neptune becomes exact next weekend just as Mercury arrives at its direct station. What`s launched then should quickly gather momentum. Those involved either with the Arts with the world of advertising and media should find this an exhilarating period. Creative ideas are likely to come thick and fast but yes, require practical management that can`t be put in place until after at least after Mercury turns direct next weekend. Where you possibly need to take extra care, is between 15th and 18th when the costs of investing in a leisure activity may be unusually high.

Leo
Personal theme: I will!!
Fire & fixed sign: July 23 -- August 22
Your horoscope for this week:
The irony about the powerful Leo eclipsed New Moon on Saturday the 11th is that, when you look back on this period, you`ll recognise events as having been life-changing. Currently, however, what you`re facing seems a nuisance, if not bad news. However, often breakthroughs are preceded by exactly such tricky situations. Knowing that, instead of questioning the unexpected, plunge in. You won`t regret it.
Putting money into savings will give you a sense of security. Someone in the family isn`t so careful with their cash and could make a careless financial mistake. Since this could have been avoided, you might decide they are the ones who should suffer the consequences. Experimenting with different ideas will be stimulating. Life brings lots of surprises and trying something new will make you feel good. The bolder your ideas, the more successful they will be.
This weekend`s Solar Eclipse was in your sign. It`s next weekend though before Mercury stations direct in that same sign. Between now and then a major aspect between Jupiter and Neptune occurs. This cycle is more commonly associated with a large emotional or romantic wave. It works though in commercial activity also. With Mercury`s movements barely perceptible, it could be that your brain runs slightly slower than usual but that you latch onto a concept or idea that is worthy of fabulous development. Whether or not you are in a position to self-invest, you might also consider whether or not joining forces with someone already advanced in a particular area would be beneficial. Taking time out then to consider both long-term business plans, partnerships and yes true, emotional commitments, would surely make good use of this week`s aspects. Note too, that Mars` return to one of the Earth signs should make it easier to consider practical implications even if the spadework can`t be carried out until closer to the end of the month.

Virgo
Personal theme: I analyse!!
Earth sign: August 23 -- September 22
Your horoscope for this week:
Usually, facts are exactly that – facts. However, in mid-July you began a cycle of often unsettling but illuminating change.. Add your ruler Mercury retrograde, until 19 August, and between errors and misunderstandings, even simple arrangements could become dramas. However, while the dust will settle in a week or so, what you`ve already learnt and will continue to, will prove valuable well into the future.
Your family expect you to fall in with their plans and wishes. Demands from others could limit your progress. Even when you do get a few minutes to yourself, it won`t be easy to concentrate because of all the distractions around you. It might feel as if you have outgrown a friendship. The two of you have very different interests now and activities you share are starting to bore you. Parting ways is never easy, but it is time to break free of restrictions that that hold you back.
At some level, it might seem as though you`re running around in circles. Certainly, it seems likely that you`re waiting for others to declare their hand before you can make a move on a project that captured your imagination earlier this year, but which has so far been fraught with difficulty. Mars though has now returned to the creative zone of your solar chart. It could be argued that this is an optimum period -through until mid-September, - for reviewing earlier proposals. It may be that this is made necessary by financial constraints. Whatever, and maddening though it may be that you can`t push forward immediately, fact is that this present period offers excellent conditions for refining and developing themes and plans. The creative input from others: especially those born under the Fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, may be just what`s needed to push forward with high probability of momentum building after Mercury stations next Sunday.

Libra
Personal theme: I balance!!
Air & cardinal sign: September 23 -- October 22
Your horoscope for this week:
After a lengthy period of uncertainty, you`re finally clear about who and what comes first in your life. However, several persistent questions are preventing you from putting those valuable insights into action. That`s for the best, as you`ll recognise in late August, when those once-problematic situations fall into place magically. Until then, focus on deciding what, and who, should go and making it happen.
At times you will feel as if you can`t do right for doing wrong. A friend or neighbour is starting to take your kindness for granted and they don`t fully appreciate all you do for them. You can`t seem to avoid fuss or bother wherever you go, and this could have an effect upon your health. Later on, you will learn to prefer being on your own. You need some peace and quiet and some time alone with your thoughts. Plan the days and weeks ahead with this in mind.
It would be wholly understandable if you felt `all at sea` - but perhaps in a good way. Venus is moving through your sign, but Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all retrograde. In short, reflection is the order of the day. With Mars returning to the very base of your solar chart, reassessing assets may be hugely important. It could be that you`re also en-route to making a major decision. This is never easy for those of your sign - and could in fact take until early September to be accomplished. It would be understandable if, as the Moon makes its way through your sign over Tuesday and Wednesday, if the pros and cons of action which evenly matched. Advice from a Capricorn should assist the decision-making process. It`s probable though, that the intuition of someone born under one of the Water signs of Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces will make all the difference and allow you to then cruise into the next stage of planning after Mercury stations next weekend.

Scorpio & Ophiuchus
Personal theme: I desire!!
Water & fixed signs: October 23 -- November 21
Your horoscope for this week:
Since early this year there`s been talk of changes in your work or lifestyle, or both, but you`ve managed to keep things as they are. Despite your concerns, explore what`s involved. That way, when ideas turn into plans are, and those into action, possibly overnight, you`ll be ready. While unsettling in the short term, as the dust settles, you`ll recognise these as they breakthroughs they are.
Your social life is a source of pleasure. You could find yourself in a temporary position of leadership. Whenever your confidence starts to falter, you can rely on your friends for support. People respect your determination and you might enjoy this chance to be in charge. A letter, text message or e-mail will bring a nice little surprise your way. This might inspire you to want to improve your appearance in anticipation of a future event or celebration.
By the end of this week, Jupiter, moving through your sign, will have formed a perfect aspect with Neptune in another of the Water signs. That this coincides with Mercury stationing at the very apex of your solar chart, suggests that you`ll want to redefine both immediate and long-term goals. You may then be excited by the next stage. It`s probable too, that you`ll have gained confidence. It helps too that Mars will have returned to an area of your solar chart associated with communications. Even if dealing with either eye or ear issues (and either as possible), your intuition should be working well. In fact, sensing that others have exciting plans for the future you could encourage more than one person to share these with you and yes, in the process, position yourself for a job offer that could appears not long after Venus reaches your sign in September.

Sagittarius
Personal theme: I see!!
Fire sign: November 22 -- December 21
Your horoscope for this week:
Challenges can be thrilling but watching elements of your life you`ve worked hard to organise come undone, often overnight, isn`t easy. Unlikely as it seems, these are making way for the extraordinary ideas or offers triggered by the rare link between your ruler Jupiter and Neptune, on the 19th. The more you let go of now, the freer you`ll be to respond to what arises then.
No matter how hard you try, you can`t seem to agree with a friend or neighbour`s point of view. The more you see this person, the more you seem to argue. It might be better to give each other some space and you can do this by having time away from each other. You will feel more relaxed when dealing with jobs you can do with your eyes closed. Take this chance to clarify your thinking and meditate while you are attending to simple, repetitive tasks.
It`s another week before Mercury turns direct in another of the Fire signs. That event coincides with your ruling planet, Jupiter, arriving at one of its better aspects with Neptune. This week then offers excellent cosmic weather for `blue skies thinking` and review of recent effects. Bear in mind that Mars has also returned to one of the financial zones of your solar chart. It could be that you also reconsider a budget and perhaps even where and how you live. It`s probable that all this will be achieved with the assistance and support of those given to creative thinking and possibly involved in the commercial world of imagination i.e. advertising or the Arts. By the time Mercury stations, the Moon will have moved into your sign. It`s probable then, that by next Sunday and early next week, that you will have arrived at a sound plan for moving forward.

Capricorn
Personal theme: I use!!
Earth & cardinal sign: December 22 -- January 19
Your horoscope for this week:
Few Capricorns believe in good luck, but even those who do pave the way with effort. Yet recent setbacks have you wondering where you went wrong. You didn`t, as will become clear after fiery Mars moves into your sign on the 13th. Still, decide nothing until August`s final week, when spectacular planetary activity brings you good fortune, in a range of forms, and all at once.
There`s a lot happening at work. You should take an offer your boss seems to casually throw your way. They are expecting a quick response and if you hesitate too long, this opportunity will slip through your fingers. Someone in the family is heavily involved in a community project designed to help a special group of people. Your services too, are in demand, when you have skills that would benefit this scheme. Help a volunteer organisation that does meaningful work.
Mars returns to your sign, is retrograde until Tuesday 28th but doesn`t leave Capricorn until September 11th. You could view these next few weeks then as perfect for refuelling. It may be that you really have been drained. Until 19th it might not even feel as though your batteries are being restored. It would be wholly understandable if you found it difficult to concentrate or plan ahead. Yet discussions taking place this week - even against this unusual cosmic background - will prove most useful. In particular, you could identify exactly what`s been troubling a colleague and the pressures they`ve been under. It`s not up to you to resolve all their difficulties but it may well be that in September you arrive at new understanding. In particular, partnerships with those born under Leo or Libra could move to new platform.

Aquarius
Personal theme: I know!!
Air & fixed sign: January 20 -- February 18
Your horoscope for this week:
Since late July`s Aquarius eclipsed Full Moon, you`ve been weighing up new ideas or, possibly, radical changes, versus sticking with what, or who, you know. With the actual circumstances still shifting, decisions haven`t lasted long. Things seem urgent, but there`s no rush. Actually, the more flexible your thinking and plans, the better positioned you`ll be to take advantage of yet more thrilling, if unexpected, developments.
Imagine the effect your words will have before opening your mouth. Saying what you think can work in some situations but in others, someone could get hurt. If conversations get argumentative, count to ten before saying anything. If you speak in haste, you may regret it. A new project you had been excited to start is not living up to your expectations. The job satisfaction you had hoped to get out of it will be minimal and you will be relieved when someone else offers to take it over.
Mars has now returned to neighbouring Capricorn and brings the potential for increased contact either with healthcare professionals, those who work in large institutions, corporations or governments. There may be questions to which you positively need answers. Yet it`s possible that phrasing the question is as important as working out the next step. It may well be that the people you need to talk to are simply not available. That doesn`t make this week a waste of time. It should be excellent for focusing on what would be ideal and mentally attracting the positive energies that would make things happen. Bear in mind that Mercury is retrograde in your opposite sign and that it may well be those who could rally round will not be able to do so until after Mercury stations on Sunday 19th. For now, connections made with those who are familiar both with legalities and systems should ensure that by the end of the week you know exactly what to ask for next.

Pisces
Personal theme: I believe!!
Water sign: February 19 -- March 20
Your horoscope for this week:
Some say planning ahead is a virtue, but now and until after the Pisces Full Moon, on 26 August, you`re urged to take each day, and its accompanying twists and turns, as it comes. Some will require you let go of plans or, possibly, passions while others involve intriguing ideas or encounters. Explore, show interest in whatever appeals but save decisions until the month`s close.
You had hoped to achieve more in a new situation, but progress is slow. People have differing views and opinions and finding a compromise will be tricky. At times you might wish you had carried out some aspects of this project on your own. You might be needing some expert advice. If so, don`t fall for the first friendly face that comes your way. Despite their professional appearance, someone may try to deceive you, or they will tell you what you want to hear. Looks can be deceptive.
It might seem as though you`re going back over old ground. An alternative would be that others are chasing you to complete administrative tasks in which you have no interest. Fact is that in the approach to the fabulous aspect between Jupiter and Neptune (your two ruling planets), that you will likely be far more interested in dreaming of what could be rather than dealing with what is. You might be right to defer some action until after Mercury turns direct on Sunday 19th. Over these next seven days though - and with the assistance most likely of someone born under one of the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, - you could both play with an idea and outline a business plan. As for all signs, you might need to wait until the last few days of August before these can be pushed forward.

At some level, it might seem as though you`re running around in circles. Certainly, it seems likely that you`re waiting for others to declare their hand before you can make a move on a project that captured your imagination earlier this year, but which has so far been fraught with difficulty. Mars though has now returned to the creative zone of your solar chart. It could be argued that this is an optimum period -through until mid-September, - for reviewing earlier proposals. It may be that this is made necessary by financial constraints. Whatever, and maddening though it may be that you can`t push forward immediately, fact is that this present period offers excellent conditions for refining and developing themes and plans. The creative input from others: especially those born under the Fixed signs of Taurus, Leo, Scorpio or Aquarius, may be just what`s needed to push forward with high probability of momentum building after Mercury stations next Sunday.

Libra
Personal theme: I balance!!
Air & cardinal sign: September 23 -- October 22
Your horoscope for this week:
After a lengthy period of uncertainty, you`re finally clear about who and what comes first in your life. However, several persistent questions are preventing you from putting those valuable insights into action. That`s for the best, as you`ll recognise in late August, when those once-problematic situations fall into place magically. Until then, focus on deciding what, and who, should go and making it happen.
At times you will feel as if you can`t do right for doing wrong. A friend or neighbour is starting to take your kindness for granted and they don`t fully appreciate all you do for them. You can`t seem to avoid fuss or bother wherever you go, and this could have an effect upon your health. Later on, you will learn to prefer being on your own. You need some peace and quiet and some time alone with your thoughts. Plan the days and weeks ahead with this in mind.
It would be wholly understandable if you felt `all at sea` - but perhaps in a good way. Venus is moving through your sign, but Mercury, Mars, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are all retrograde. In short, reflection is the order of the day. With Mars returning to the very base of your solar chart, reassessing assets may be hugely important. It could be that you`re also en-route to making a major decision. This is never easy for those of your sign - and could in fact take until early September to be accomplished. It would be understandable if, as the Moon makes its way through your sign over Tuesday and Wednesday, if the pros and cons of action which evenly matched. Advice from a Capricorn should assist the decision-making process. It`s probable though, that the intuition of someone born under one of the Water signs of Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces will make all the difference and allow you to then cruise into the next stage of planning after Mercury stations next weekend.

Scorpio & Ophiuchus
Personal theme: I desire!!
Water & fixed signs: October 23 -- November 21
Your horoscope for this week:
Since early this year there`s been talk of changes in your work or lifestyle, or both, but you`ve managed to keep things as they are. Despite your concerns, explore what`s involved. That way, when ideas turn into plans are, and those into action, possibly overnight, you`ll be ready. While unsettling in the short term, as the dust settles, you`ll recognise these as they breakthroughs they are.
Your social life is a source of pleasure. You could find yourself in a temporary position of leadership. Whenever your confidence starts to falter, you can rely on your friends for support. People respect your determination and you might enjoy this chance to be in charge. A letter, text message or e-mail will bring a nice little surprise your way. This might inspire you to want to improve your appearance in anticipation of a future event or celebration.
By the end of this week, Jupiter, moving through your sign, will have formed a perfect aspect with Neptune in another of the Water signs. That this coincides with Mercury stationing at the very apex of your solar chart, suggests that you`ll want to redefine both immediate and long-term goals. You may then be excited by the next stage. It`s probable too, that you`ll have gained confidence. It helps too that Mars will have returned to an area of your solar chart associated with communications. Even if dealing with either eye or ear issues (and either as possible), your intuition should be working well. In fact, sensing that others have exciting plans for the future you could encourage more than one person to share these with you and yes, in the process, position yourself for a job offer that could appears not long after Venus reaches your sign in September.

Sagittarius
Personal theme: I see!!
Fire sign: November 22 -- December 21
Your horoscope for this week:
Challenges can be thrilling but watching elements of your life you`ve worked hard to organise come undone, often overnight, isn`t easy. Unlikely as it seems, these are making way for the extraordinary ideas or offers triggered by the rare link between your ruler Jupiter and Neptune, on the 19th. The more you let go of now, the freer you`ll be to respond to what arises then.
No matter how hard you try, you can`t seem to agree with a friend or neighbour`s point of view. The more you see this person, the more you seem to argue. It might be better to give each other some space and you can do this by having time away from each other. You will feel more relaxed when dealing with jobs you can do with your eyes closed. Take this chance to clarify your thinking and meditate while you are attending to simple, repetitive tasks.
It`s another week before Mercury turns direct in another of the Fire signs. That event coincides with your ruling planet, Jupiter, arriving at one of its better aspects with Neptune. This week then offers excellent cosmic weather for `blue skies thinking` and review of recent effects. Bear in mind that Mars has also returned to one of the financial zones of your solar chart. It could be that you also reconsider a budget and perhaps even where and how you live. It`s probable that all this will be achieved with the assistance and support of those given to creative thinking and possibly involved in the commercial world of imagination i.e. advertising or the Arts. By the time Mercury stations, the Moon will have moved into your sign. It`s probable then, that by next Sunday and early next week, that you will have arrived at a sound plan for moving forward.

Capricorn
Personal theme: I use!!
Earth & cardinal sign: December 22 -- January 19
Your horoscope for this week:
Few Capricorns believe in good luck, but even those who do pave the way with effort. Yet recent setbacks have you wondering where you went wrong. You didn`t, as will become clear after fiery Mars moves into your sign on the 13th. Still, decide nothing until August`s final week, when spectacular planetary activity brings you good fortune, in a range of forms, and all at once.
There`s a lot happening at work. You should take an offer your boss seems to casually throw your way. They are expecting a quick response and if you hesitate too long, this opportunity will slip through your fingers. Someone in the family is heavily involved in a community project designed to help a special group of people. Your services too, are in demand, when you have skills that would benefit this scheme. Help a volunteer organisation that does meaningful work.
Mars returns to your sign, is retrograde until Tuesday 28th but doesn`t leave Capricorn until September 11th. You could view these next few weeks then as perfect for refuelling. It may be that you really have been drained. Until 19th it might not even feel as though your batteries are being restored. It would be wholly understandable if you found it difficult to concentrate or plan ahead. Yet discussions taking place this week - even against this unusual cosmic background - will prove most useful. In particular, you could identify exactly what`s been troubling a colleague and the pressures they`ve been under. It`s not up to you to resolve all their difficulties but it may well be that in September you arrive at new understanding. In particular, partnerships with those born under Leo or Libra could move to new platform.

Aquarius
Personal theme: I know!!
Air & fixed sign: January 20 -- February 18
Your horoscope for this week:
Since late July`s Aquarius eclipsed Full Moon, you`ve been weighing up new ideas or, possibly, radical changes, versus sticking with what, or who, you know. With the actual circumstances still shifting, decisions haven`t lasted long. Things seem urgent, but there`s no rush. Actually, the more flexible your thinking and plans, the better positioned you`ll be to take advantage of yet more thrilling, if unexpected, developments.
Imagine the effect your words will have before opening your mouth. Saying what you think can work in some situations but in others, someone could get hurt. If conversations get argumentative, count to ten before saying anything. If you speak in haste, you may regret it. A new project you had been excited to start is not living up to your expectations. The job satisfaction you had hoped to get out of it will be minimal and you will be relieved when someone else offers to take it over.
Mars has now returned to neighbouring Capricorn and brings the potential for increased contact either with healthcare professionals, those who work in large institutions, corporations or governments. There may be questions to which you positively need answers. Yet it`s possible that phrasing the question is as important as working out the next step. It may well be that the people you need to talk to are simply not available. That doesn`t make this week a waste of time. It should be excellent for focusing on what would be ideal and mentally attracting the positive energies that would make things happen. Bear in mind that Mercury is retrograde in your opposite sign and that it may well be those who could rally round will not be able to do so until after Mercury stations on Sunday 19th. For now, connections made with those who are familiar both with legalities and systems should ensure that by the end of the week you know exactly what to ask for next.

Pisces
Personal theme: I believe!!
Water sign: February 19 -- March 20
Your horoscope for this week:
Some say planning ahead is a virtue, but now and until after the Pisces Full Moon, on 26 August, you`re urged to take each day, and its accompanying twists and turns, as it comes. Some will require you let go of plans or, possibly, passions while others involve intriguing ideas or encounters. Explore, show interest in whatever appeals but save decisions until the month`s close.
You had hoped to achieve more in a new situation, but progress is slow. People have differing views and opinions and finding a compromise will be tricky. At times you might wish you had carried out some aspects of this project on your own. You might be needing some expert advice. If so, don`t fall for the first friendly face that comes your way. Despite their professional appearance, someone may try to deceive you, or they will tell you what you want to hear. Looks can be deceptive.
It might seem as though you`re going back over old ground. An alternative would be that others are chasing you to complete administrative tasks in which you have no interest. Fact is that in the approach to the fabulous aspect between Jupiter and Neptune (your two ruling planets), that you will likely be far more interested in dreaming of what could be rather than dealing with what is. You might be right to defer some action until after Mercury turns direct on Sunday 19th. Over these next seven days though - and with the assistance most likely of someone born under one of the Cardinal signs of Aries, Cancer, Libra or Capricorn, - you could both play with an idea and outline a business plan. As for all signs, you might need to wait until the last few days of August before these can be pushed forward.
