You could be in for a bit of a surprise this August as plans you had made go a little bit astray and you are left with egg on your face, much to the delight of your opponents. You are going to find yourself in a bit of a fix and its going to take a fair bit of cunning and quite a shrewd head to climb out of this situation with your credibility intact. Essentially, it’s your own fault things don’t turn out as you might have wanted but at least the opportunity to correct matters is still in your hands. When this incident blows over it might make you think twice about leaving certain responsibilities to people who possess all the good intentions but lack the realistic ability in future.

The Ox

The air is filled with mystery and intrigue for many of you over the coming weeks as you get a sense that something is going on behind your back but you can’t quite make out what it could be. Rest assured that it’s not going to be anything bad but your sense of curiosity is likely to be aroused to such an extent that you might start sniffing around for clues. If you can resist the temptation then do so because there is a nice surprise in store for you if you just wait for the outcome. On the work front, an internal memo could turn up on your desk by accident and present you with an opportunity to gain the upper hand on a business rival so long as you act quickly.

The Tiger

We all can – on occasions - turn to the most unlikely sources for assistance and this month a problem that just doesn’t seem to want to go away is likely to leave you feeling boxed in and rather desperate for a helping hand. Fortunately, there is a light at the end of the tunnel but when you discover who the person holding the torch happens to be you may have to pinch yourself and reassess your opinions on certain individuals. You are going to find yourself forging a completely unexpected alliance and ultimately, whilst the initial collaboration might appear somewhat uncomfortable, in the long run it will work out a whole lot better than you would ever have believed.

The Rabbit

Knight of Swords
Whilst things may have turned in your favour on the financial side, the improvement will only be temporary and for the long term you have to put some strict controls in place if you are to prevent things slipping into a serious decline. First and foremost your outlook needs to be reappraised and you have to start distinguishing between what it is you need in life and what it is you actually want. Until you are able to do this there is no real progress that can be made. Somewhere inside you something doesn’t feel quite right and the imbalance is forcing you to view matters with an impractical eye. Seek out a solution or the consequences could be a lot more serious than you appreciate.

The Dragon

1940, 1952, 1964, 1976, 1988, 2000, 2012 Five of Wands
Five of Wands
Unfortunately things haven’t really gone your way over the last few weeks and you have been forced to sustain an unreasonable amount of stress over property matters and financial shortfalls. The after effects of several bitter disputes still linger and hold you back from making any kind of significant progress, although if its any consolation, they are in the last throes of their impact and the road is about to turn in your favour in the very near future. More than anything you shouldn’t be afraid to approach your family and friends for support although ultimately you might be very surprised to discover that the most significant help you receive originates from a very unlikely and unexpected source.

The Snake

1941, 1953, 1965, 1977, 1989, 2001, 2013 The World

Snakes do tend to like their secrets and this month you are about to stumble upon an absolute whopper which, if revealed, could move things in your favour in the workplace at the risk of damaging your integrity. Put plainly, it’s a tough decision you’re going to have to make and one that you won’t have much time to ponder over either. All in all, the order of the day is to move with your instincts. Trust them as your barometer and things will work out serving your best interests in the end. Just remember to guard what you discover well and only reveal what you need to in the event of letting anything out of the bag.

The Horse

You’ve been nothing if not erratic over the last few weeks and that has as much to do with an inner conflict you are wrestling with as influences beyond your control that have been shaping your life of late. Fortunately, things are set to change and an air of stability is about to settle on you which will allow you to think more clearly and shake yourself free of much of the uncertainty clouding your thoughts. You are a restless animal who likes the earth beneath her feet to be solid and uncluttered so if anything hinders your confidence then you don’t wait around for matters to get any more complicated. Just a sight of greener pastures and you are away. However, this time, sticking it out could bring you much bigger rewards than you first imagined.

The Sheep

When you look back on how things have changed for you over the last 12 months you will appreciate just how far you have come in your life. Whilst you might not feel that to be the case, a moment of quiet reflection will soon allow the smile back on your face as you realise that in fact a lot of good progress has been made since this time last July. However, the next few weeks are likely to be critical in determining your own personal development along with that of your partner as some crucial decisions are set to be made. An important phase of your life is waiting in the last quarter of the year and much depends on whether you have the courage to go out there and really grab it with both hands. 

The Monkey

To describe the last few weeks as unpredictable would be an understatement where your sign is concerned. Never ones to be upset or ruffled easily, even many of you have let the strains and stresses overcome your usual light hearted nature and tested your patience to the limit. What you need more than anything this August is a holiday and if you have the opportunity to get away you should do so without a second thought. Your batteries are in great need of a recharge and with further challenging situations envisaged throughout the remainder of 2010, you will need to be at your best to deal with times both good and bad so get the brochures out and start picking a destination!

The Rooster

Take the best experience you can imagine, double it and maybe, just maybe, you will arrive at the kind of feelings many of you are set to experience this August as a new man suddenly appears in your life and literally takes your breath away. You are going to feel like a new woman and your indifferent outlook is set to disperse like dust in a breeze as your emotions get the better of you in a big way. The only problem that exists here is the fact that very soon you will have to confront a departure from your old life – and the possibility of some difficult goodbyes – as this new arrival means you could be heading in a completely new direction before the year is out. But the omens are good so be courageous and take a chance. This shouldn’t be difficult for you.

The Dog

1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006, 2018 The Priestess
The Priestess
The odd thing about love is that you never know when it will strike nor how – if it so chooses – it will leave you. This is an even bigger issue for you “canines” out there since many of you are prone to terrible fits of insecurity and self-doubt when it comes to relationships. However, the good news is that any concerns you might have over a present relationship are completely unfounded and as if to reinforce that fact, a loved one is set to demonstrate their affection for you in a major way at the start of August. The consequences of this display will have further reaching implications for some of you with the prospect of a serious commitment being put before you for consideration.

The Pig

Remember that disagreement you had in June over a car. Remember how you were convinced it had all been settled and you thought you’d seen the back of one particularly difficult individual. Well, unfortunately, it looks like things were not exactly put to bed and a loose end from that incident is about to rear its ugly head in the form of an unexpected bill. Before you lose your temper completely and charge off in a fit of rage to confront those concerned just take a moment to check the small print and go through some of your own paperwork on the matter. A little investigation will reveal that they don’t have a leg to stand on but unless you follow this through calmly you’ll never see it.
