► 1 August 2014 : A surprising development forces you to shift gears and turn away from your own issues. It may be work-related, but it's more likely a friend or family member in need that draws your attention. Let go of the details today -- you have to face the fact that not every single one of them is going to line up nicely and neatly for you. But the good news is, your overall plan will work out quite well. It won't be perfect, but what is? You have to let go of that ideal -- it will only stress you out and make you miss out on the chance to feel proud of yourself. You'll get a lot more accomplished if you just accept things the way they are and start working with what you have.
► 2 August 2014 : If you're confused today -- and you likely will be at some point -- just listen carefully. People are communicating a little oddly, but you can still figure it all out if you take the time. There is no need to rush into anything. Some exciting shenanigans will be going on today, but you need to think twice before getting involved. Fun is a matter of perspective. It's a good time to initiate projects, but only the kind that are safe and on the up and up. Go slowly -- don't get caught up in the moment and lose your head. If a golden opportunity is in the midst of all of this, it isn't going anywhere soon.
► 3 August 2014 : It's way too easy for you to get caught up in emotional games that you don't see coming today -- it may feel like you've been ambushed. Just roll with it and see how you like the outcome. You show up ready to play. Whether that means your company softball team jersey is pressed and ready to go or that you're sporting your most serious ready-for-business suit, anybody who doesn't see you're a force to be reckoned with is making a big, big mistake. It'll cost them in the long run, and the scoreboard will show it. Yes it will. So get out there and swing, batter!
► 4 August 2014 : Your emotional side is getting a workout today -- for better and for worse. For the most part, you should end up feeling more positive by day's end, but you're just as likely to feel exhausted too. Take a long hard look around before you take any action. If you've been feeling like it's time to resolve a problem in your personal life, you could well be right: You're at your most critical, analytical and insightful right now. But don't rush into it. It's important that you really understand the situation before you start in on changing it. This is as true for your finances as it is for your love life.
► 5 August 2014 : Slow down -- though it's likely that life is slowing you down regardless of your speed. Just let things happen at their own pace until you figure out what it is that's holding you back. If you would rather be by yourself today, be by yourself. And if you'd rather be smack dab in the middle of a bustling crowd, then head to where the action is. You need to do whatever makes you feel most comfortable right now. Luckily, little, if any, pressure is on you to conform right now, so if you feel like breaking away from what everyone is doing today, that shouldn't cause any waves with people. Everyone just wants you to be happy.
► 6 August 2014 : You need to express your individuality today -- make sure that your way of thinking is fully understood by those around you. It's easier than you think to make everything clear. When dealing with other people today, listen to their ranting and raving with an open mind. Not everyone around you will be able to agree on the right way to go about doing things -- luckily you should find all this bickering quite amusing! Let them vent their frustrations without offering up your own opinion. Amid all the griping, you might find a creative solution to a vexing issue. Aren't you glad you stuck around for this?
► 7 August 2014 : If you're in doubt, take action. Your fiery energy helps you to see that things are just right for you to move ahead quickly, and even if you have to improvise, you should still succeed. Your straightforward side may be sidetracked now while your mind -- or possibly your heart -- indulges in some fantastical stuff. Not that there's anything wrong with fantasy, mind you. In fact, it expands your thoughts and feelings, and can even leak some sweet stuff over into regular reality. It's when you get carried away that things can get a bit problematic. Ask a grounded friend for a reality check.
► 8 August 2014 : You feel totally focused on ambition today -- and there's nothing wrong with that! You know you'll get back to your family or spiritual search when the time is right, For now, keep pushing! This is a time to seek allies with common goals. You're definitely feeling the pressure of larger-than-life circumstances over which you have no control. Try not to see a larger situation as some form of personal oppression. Don't spend everything you have in pursuit of a short-term objective. Remember that life goes on past the end of the current project or problem, and your stress level will ultimately have no effect on the outcome. Step back, take a deep breath and ease up for a moment.
► 9 August 2014 : You may find that you're able to jump right on top of a new opportunity as soon as it arises. Things may start to get really chaotic, but that just means your preparation pays off even more! You're the most impulsive fire sign of them all -- which is saying something. So it's really not tough to distract you, especially when you're doing something that you'd really rather not do. At the moment, however, you will only stop working if you're dragged, kicking and screaming, from your workplace. Try to keep in mind that even though you're obsessed with your current project, there are people who'd love to see you -- just for a little while.
► 10 August 2014 : You hit a new milestone today -- one you may not have seen coming. Sometimes your ambitions exceed your expectations, and it's days like today that show you why it's the expectations that need to change. You can feel that your future is absolutely brimming over with potential. If anyone can smell opportunity and the chance to jump on it, it's you! Your instincts may be telling you to sit still, though, but try not to doubt yourself. Don't listen to anyone who's telling you to lower your expectations. Waiting isn't that easy for you, but if winning is the end result, it's still the best way to go for now.
► 11 August 2014 : Keep moving forward even if things look dire -- though they probably don't. Your goals and ambitions are highlighted on a day like today, and you ought to be able to get moving without a hitch. If there's one thing you really hate, it's being told to slow down or stop. You constantly need to take action -- sometimes forgetting whether it's right or wrong. Feeling stalled or delayed just doesn't sit well with you, but for now, there's simply no other course of action. While you wait, don't just think of this as another lost afternoon biding your time while others procrastinate. You may be stalled for a good reason!
► 12 August 2014 : Something small is rapidly turning into something big -- and that's a problem! Even if it seems good on its face, you can bet that it's going to be more trouble than it's worth. Nip it in the bud. When you're in this kind of mood -- totally in tune with others -- there's tons of people who may try to take advantage of you, weird as that may seem. You need to remember who's in charge and refuse to let it happen. There's good news: You can see the grifters coming from a mile away. Ask all the questions you want -- don't be afraid of offending anyone! They're not worried about offending you, after all.
► 13 August 2014 : This is not the time to run off in new directions -- you are much better off sticking with what you know and love. Your time is coming soon, so gather your energy and prepare for a brighter day. You're great at cutting to the chase, so head games don't usually work for you -- unless they're the kind that people who are attracted to each other like to play. Since you can easily spot frauds and those who hold info back from you, you've got an edge in those kinds of games. If your instincts tell you that's what's going on today, make your excuses and leave. Nobody says you have to stay for dessert!
► 14 August 2014 : It's definitely time for you to take action. Your amazing energy is perfect for getting things done, and the more you move, the faster you go. Expect greatness and you'll make it happen! Your energy is fiery and contagious -- so you should find almost everything you do becomes a source of inspiration. Anyone lucky enough to be by your side is treated to some thrilling adventures. Chores can wait until tomorrow, as for now you're just better suited to tackling new activities. Your powers of persuasion are peaking, too, so speak up about whatever you really want.
► 15 August 2014 : Explore some new territory -- maybe social, maybe physical. Your great personal energy is driving you inevitably forward, so you might as well make the most of the restlessness. The one you love is on top of your priority. You do have a reputation to keep in mind, though, so you'd never admit it -- even under threat of extreme suffering (or, worse, being forced to say 'I love you, too,' in public). Your sweetie knows how you feel, though, and that's all that really counts. A new situation comes along today, and you need to take their side, in public, while trying to appear totally objective.
► 16 August 2014 : Your financial situation is a little weird today, but that just means you need to find a good solution -- and you're full of answers! Of course, you may need to consult with someone who knows how things really are. Everyone is a bit more sociable right now -- and even the meekest among us are a lot more willing to try something new, at least once. Now, you've never needed any prodding when it comes to experimentation, so you'll be even more impetuous, impulsive and risk-loving than usual. Sure, it's hard to believe, but it's true, and you'll enjoy every minute -- especially now that you have a playmate who's equally game.
► 17 August 2014 : Is it time for a yard sale? You may be sick to death of your crowded house, but there are lots of ways to get rid of excess. Things may be a little better for you afterward as long as you don't immediately go shopping. You're about to begin mingling with all kinds of interesting and unusual people, and you'll love every minute of it. There's at least one new acquaintance en route who'll be around for a while, too, thanks to an astrological setup that will keep that parade of people you'd otherwise never have met going strong. Whether they turn out to be friends or partners is up for grabs, but who cares? Think of this as a social buffet. Treat yourself to just a little taste of everything.
► 18 August 2014 : Something small is easier than it appears -- so get it out of the way first and then build on your momentum! It's a great time for you to step up and ask for help from friends, too. Stop worrying. First of all, you know how you get when you're stressed; it's not pretty, and it hasn't been what most often wins you friends -- especially since your sign virtually wrote the book on the subject. Then, too, there's the fact that if you play your cards right, you can make not just a new friend, but cross paths with someone who might be exactly right for you. There now, isn't that enough inspiration to keep you calm?
► 19 August 2014 : It's a good time to communicate with your people -- even if you're not in the same room, or even the same continent! You should be able to reach out and let them know what's going on with ease. That obstacle you've been battering away at just isn't budging, but luckily now's the perfect time to try a new tactic. A fresh idea could come to you from out of the blue -- maybe it's a way to get around what's been holding you back instead of continuing to pound your head against it -- and it's even more likely to happen if you do a little brainstorming. Suddenly where there was only one answer, now there are several options, and what seemed so difficult can be easy as pie.
► 20 August 2014 : Your emotional side is making a play for control today -- but you may as well stand back and let it do what it wants. It's certainly easier, and you may find that things start to make more sense. You don't like to hold back when you have something to say. In fact, it's so completely out of character that when you do, your friends start asking what the heck is wrong with you! They're due to start asking that question soon, because every time a certain subject comes up, you've refused to discuss it openly. Why put them through this? Give up the goods.
