Romance and professional relationships endure a tug-of-war between commitment/ stability and idealism on the 26th-27th, when a Saturn-Venus merger opposes nebulous Neptune. However, this influence is perfect for altruistic activities, and Mercury’s transit into analytical Virgo on the 27th will help sort out the important issues. Next, idealism is again in focus when expansive Jupiter dances with unconventional Uranus the last week of August, which also emphasizes technological advances. Just watch out for the angry Mars-Pluto power struggle on the 29th. On Sept. 3-5, Uranus electrifies creativity and increases innovation (and technological snafus) when it opposes the sun and Mercury. And finally, Venus enters discriminating Virgo on the 5th, helping to analyze relationship issues during the next two weeks.

Aries (March 21-April 19)
Romance gets serious but may feel illusive as well. Getting clear on your aspirations about love will help. At month’s end, a heated encounter may unhinge you, but seeing the bigger picture will help resolve the situation.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
A serious decision, probably about your home life, arises around the 26th. Getting out of a personal rut and seeking clarity are the keys to finding the best path. And love gets a burst of enlightenment around the 29th.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
A proposal may get solid backing around the 26th, if you can sort through some misleading information. You may feel compelled to make a hasty decision about your home or relationship from Aug. 29-Sept. 5. Is freedom the issue?
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
A financial offer around the 26th can prove lucrative, if you read the (misleading?) fine print. Debt may be a sticking point. Expect the unexpected if traveling the first week of September. Enlightenment, however, is assured!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
A major personal decision arises around the 26th, but increased clarity is needed to choose the best path, especially regarding love. An unconventional or hasty financial transaction around Sept. 3 may prove to be unreliable.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
A relationship discussion at month’s end is enlightening, if you deal well with an anger issue that arises. Additionally, a change accompanies a personal or professional relationship the first week of September.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
If you can get serious about your long-term aspirations, and be honest about them, you can begin manifesting your desires now. Increased energy regarding your past encourages you to eliminate emotional and material junk.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
A major career decision needs clarity at month’s end. Compromise is difficult around the 29th when tempers heat up (over finances?). And talking about desires and aspirations the last week of August can take romance to a new level.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
The last week of August is your time to enact needed changes, possibly at home, and promote innovation where needed. Diplomacy is needed, however, during a conflict that may drag on from Aug. 29 through Sept. 5.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
A romantic commitment and possibly a career choice are the focus through the end of August, if you can blend practicality with idealism. Keep in mind that a spiritual awakening is inspiring some changes in your goals.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The need to reevaluate your relationship aspirations arises at month’s end. Seek clarity! An innovative idea can expand your career then, too. Just avoid making hasty financial changes the first week of September.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
Discipline battles with indulgence over your health regimen as September approaches. And during the first week of September, your significant other challenges you to get clear about your relationship intentions and goals.
