The month begins with an urge for time alone as a healing retreat from the busyness of everyday life. Look for ways to recharge before you begin your birthday celebrations. As the sign most dedicated to serving others, ask yourself, would it be rewarding to focus on looking after yourself for a change? Consider having a regular digital detox where you shelve your devices for a day, make time to get a massage or take a weekend getaway – whatever inspires you to rest and relax so you can enjoy some well-deserved peace and quiet. Be open to listening to your gut feelings in quieter moments or take note of bright ideas that might come up over a coffee as these can act as a kind of personal guidance system to steer you towards a renewed sense of vitality and passion for life. Try to keep a clear head about any challenges that may surface around your health, job or pets on August 15 and 16. Around the 23rd, as your birthday month begins, you could be inspired to see yourself afresh and focus on polishing your self-image or physical appearance. You may opt for a different hairstyle, invest in some new clothes or decide to take a surprising change of direction.

Prepare to be in dazzling form at the beginning of August when you may attract welcome attention for your talents and skills from higher-ups or those in authority. Be aware emotions may run high at mid-month in home and family matters, however. Try to remain cool-headed and detach as much as possible from other people’s dramatic behaviour. If you engage, there could be fireworks!

Follow through on any impulses to improve your health, diet or work conditions as these are favoured as the month begins. Others may give you good advice or act as mentors to help you do this.

Home and family take top billing as the month begins and you experience a surge of activity in your family and domestic life. At mid-month events regarding your career, achievements and ambitions may have feelings running high. This mood will pass so keep things on an even keel if you can. The month ends on a playful high, though, as your mood is uplifted by hobbies, sports or arty pursuits you’ll enjoy.

You may be out and about for most of the month as communications, local visits and short trips become a priority. Your focus will be on activities closer to home at first but later you may be attracted to explore options that are further afield, perhaps with a foreign flavour or in a new course of study. After all that activity, the last days of the month will see you set your sights firmly on home.
