Our in-house astrologer predicts what’s in store for you this month...
Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Pluto will be retrograde throughout August. For many of us it will feel like we are standing at a karmic crossroads. Matters of the past will crop up again making us all aware of past mistakes and past successes and this could lead to a change of priorities. Just remember that whatever happened in the past, each new day brings a chance for us to do something different, try again or start anew. What part of your life is complete now? What are you not letting go of? If you have simply been rehashing what is keeping you stuck, let this experience become a lesson learned by approaching it differently this time. Reconciliations are possible or old projects will be revived.
Happy Birthday, LEO!
Leos should pay close attention to the messages in their dreams at this time. They might also notice a heightened sense of intuition.

Not only this but taking pleasure in the moment will make you a better friend, colleague and romantic partner.
Cash
With Mars in your income sector until the 21st, your money stars come under reasonably favourable light. You may not be in for a sudden windfall or anything as exciting as winning a million on the lottery but there will be the opportunity to enjoy a greater amount of financial freedom. This could come simply from using your common sense to find ways to make your income stretch further.
Career
Try something you’ve always wanted to do as August begins; the results will be better than you ever imagined or aspired to. You will want to take the initiative in a
