As the month starts, your sign ruler Mars moves from Gemini to Cancer, which brings a major change of focus for the coming two months. From a time of travel and outgoing activities, the family now has priority; emotional issues that may have been put off in the past now begin to loom on the horizon.
August is a month when recent moves for more independence conflict with family responsibilities. To a certain extent you can compensate for this by simply being busy on domestic tasks. But issues go deeper, and tensions run extremely high in the second week of the month. Basically there are forces beyond your control in your personal and professional life that demand a change of scene or attitude. The trick is to initiate change without getting irritable or acting too drastically.
There are in fact excellent economic trends mid-August for the enterprising Aries, and perhaps a journey is necessary if you want to augment your income in some way. After this period there is considerable focus on your love life, especially if you are single. Someone you have already met before will get in touch, and romantic euphoria can short-circuit logic and incline you to follow your dreams.
