How will be the month of August for you?

August 2013 monthly forecast

ARIES: Planet Mars rules over your sign and during this month, home, property and family matters may be a focus. Strange, as it may seem, I foresee many people going and coming into your house….In two months from 8^th, is a good time to do any type of re-modeling or buying of the home. You may probably think of redecorating your house, moving out, or probably change your furniture. In this period, activities related to the accommodation, house and real estate investments will be in focus. On 18^th, planet Mars, your ruling planet, enter Cancer Sun sign, the sign of its fall, and as Saturn and Mars get ready for clash, I would like to give caution, things can get a little emotionally heated for you in second half of the month. There could be tension, anxiety, sudden outbursts, and lots of rebellion. Clash of ideas among family members is another probability.

LUCKY COLOR: Bright red.

TAURUS: Planet Venus rules over your sign. Taurus, what a busy month ahead for you, you will try to connect more with your friends and family, may be write emails or make phone calls. Your cousins, friends or siblings may visit you this month, generally a relaxed period. Now, probably is the favorable time for learning something new and developing a mental rapport with others. It is a time when you will be more aware of events and things happening around. It is a possibility that you may receive some very important news this month. If you are a student, it is a good time to fill out forms or start a new course. Generally speaking, anything that is connected with learning will be fortified, and if you have to study for an exam, to take a some short term course, to write a paper, give presentation or an interview, it may turn out good but, there is one condition, do not do anything in haste. From second half of the month, Saturn and Mars get ready for clash, I would like to give caution to all Taurus- drive safely and follow all traffic rules.

 LUCKY COLOR: Honey brown.

GEMINI: Planet Mercury rules over your sign. Financial issues come into focus as Mercury enters the money sector of your solar chart on 4^th. In two months from 4^th, you may discover ways to increase your income and/or savings. Setting realistic personal budgets, as well as formulating sensible financial planning projects, will become imperative as Mars also enter the same financial sector of your solar chart on 18^th. Planet Mars can bring you a lot of money, but it can also urge you to make excessive expenditures or get you into hasty financial decisions, which may now seem very lucrative but may later prove to be unprofitable. Avoid taking financial risks in the next two months, regardless of how tempting the propositions might seem. Divine planet of good luck, Jupiter, transiting through your sign, is setting a new foundation of probably a new era of your life, wow!

LUCKY COLOR: Pink. 

CANCER: Moon rules over your sign. This is probably a big month for you, with the Sun transiting through your sign, accentuating your sense of self. In two months from 6^th, you can make efforts to release yourself from emotions related with your past that may be bogging you down.  By freeing your mind and soul, you can clear the way for new and this inner release of pent up emotions may also be reflected outwardly, for you may style or color your hair differently, make wardrobe changes, buy new clothes or there may be some change in expressing and presenting yourself, whatever be the change, you will definitely look very attrctive. This month, on 18^th, planet Mars, will also enter your sign, which will cause you to radiate with energy and improve your confidence in yourself. If you want to make a change, this would be a good time for you to start. However, planet Mars does not feel very comfortable in your sign, being a fiery planet, it’s good to follow a caution not to act on your impulses, and ‘think, plan and then act’ should be the mantra to follow. You may have lots of energy, and basic instincts will be to act first and think later though.

COLOR: Beige.

LEO: Sun rules over your sign and will enter your own sign on 16^th, this is a birth day month. Happy Birth day to all Leos….Your personality will shine and all your positive qualities will become more visible. You may think of sale or purchase of property or the enhancement of your home. Mars placed in its detrimental sign may give preoccupations related to home, family or probably expenditures. I foresee, your work going as usual but you may feel a little more agitated than usual, and this could be the reason for you to find it difficult to relax. Surprisingly, in my experience, these planetary conditions may give tendency towards addiction like alcohol and others. The period of your life, starting from 6^th, is the period to review past, formulate future plans and recharge your spiritual being. For some Leo’s, it can also be a time of withdrawal and some sort of retreat in kind of soul-searching. Presence of Venus in financial sector of your solar chart is favorable for money, family, love and beautification.

LUCKY COLOR: White.

VIRGO: Planet mercury rules over your sign and this month it is in mood to socialize and, making contact. Heightened awareness of your position in life, within your family, community or your organization, and making efforts to strengthen ties. But caution is the word to follow, from 18^th of this month and all of September; you are gearing up for some heated confrontations with someone close, it could be a friend or a close relation. Mars and Saturn are two allies getting into confrontational mood, luckily, Sun moving away, on 16^th, will not bring any legal hassles. Money could be the root cause of disagreements. It takes years to make bonds of love and relations but takes only few angry words to snap. It is time for making contacts and reaching out to others in both a social and professional sense. Whether you are employed or in business, you can make efforts to increase your earnings from this month.

LUCKY COLOR: Brown.

LIBRA: Planet Venus rules over your sign. Librans, I have a very good news to share with you, next 6 months from 7^th, will be probably the best time of the year for career growth and new opportunities. First Sun, then Mercury and later Mars, enter your career, fame, name and reputation sector of your solar chart. It is a good time to develop new career plans and goals. This is a phase when you will be busy with career and public responsibilities. Mars will bring a lot of enthusiasm, energy and probably competition. Saturn and planet Mars in next 2 months set a field of battle where you will have to act as a soldier with sword to fight all your adversaries to win. Well…. that’s life, adding adventures and remarkable accomplishments to those who persist and sustain all. Do your best as concerns the career, apply for new positions, hold meetings, ask friends for recommendations, etc and you can advance a great deal.

LUCKY COLOR: Golden beige.

SCORPIOS: As per Vedic astrology, planet Mars rules over your sun sign. In six months from 6^th, you will probably make efforts to initiate something new to expand your mind and to experience life. There probably will be energy and a spirit for adventure in you. Something philosophical, religious or spiritual may inspire you. As per ancient Vedic astrologers, education, studies and travel to faraway lands to see and understand different cultures expands mind and gives different perspective to life. You may now travel either for work or leisure. Some, not all, Scorpios may feel the impulse of learning further in a certain area, doing a specialization course or may now think of writing, joining a media group or may have a desire to publish a book. If, you do not travel, then probably someone from overseas may visit you or else you may receive some news.

LUCKY COLOR: Chocolate brown.

SAGITTARIUS: Planet Jupiter rules over your sign. You are now entering a period of transformation. Every individual has its own way of peering in and looking deep into its own soul to evaluate and evolve, Sagittarius, in this process you may look at your past. Money, relations and emotions all feature in this process of transformation, if only to get a sense of what you truly are. That said, I foresee, this is a favorable time to start a financial plan, savings plan and, it is a possibility, you may take out a loan, make investments or do some kind of financial accounting. Insurance, tax, inheritance, commission, rental or income from a source that is over and above earned salary or regular income can also be generated at this time. You may delve more into physical aspect of all relations. It is a time when need for intimacy and deep levels of sharing are heightened.

LUCKY COLOR: Electric blue.

CAPRICORN: Saturn rules over your sign. Major emphasis now will be on relationships in two months from 7^th. There is a big focus on marriage and relationships for you. If you are married and have compatibility issues with your partner, planets may push you to sever your relationship or sort your mutual differences once and for all. There will be no in-between situation. Resolving to make efforts on smooth relationships that are mutually supportive is a good idea at this time. But what I have written is true only for those who have troubled marriage but not for all, a healthy married relationship based on mutual understanding will grow even stronger under this planetary influence. If you are romantically involved with someone, you may think of marriage now.  If you are single and looking for a match, you may get suitable marriage proposals.

LUCKY COLOR: Honey brown.

AQUARIUS: As per Vedic astrology, planet Saturn rules over your sign. The focus now may shift to your physical and mental well-being. You may try new diet regimes, join gym or yoga classes. In two months from 7^th, you may involve yourself more in handling details, and increasing your efficiency by re-organizing work. There will be a lot to do, but you have to avoid getting into confrontations as Saturn and Mars get into difficult astrological angles, from now through first week of October. It is a possibility, people who work ‘with’ you or ‘for’ you may become little too difficult to handle. All this bickering, fighting, tensions and even taking some risks may leave its toll on your health and general well-being. It is really strange, in our daily life when we are busy with our work, money and doing other things, pay very little attention to health. Only when we fall ill or have some health problem, do we realize the importance of health. It is time to take more care of your health and also to have satisfying work schedules.

LUCKY COLOR: Golden rust.

PISCES: As per Vedic astrology, planet Jupiter rules over your sign. What a lovely month ahead for you, Pisces, you work hard and party hard. The best time of the year for love and romance, and if you feel attracted towards that someone ‘special’, ask him/her out. Everything that brings fun and smile on your lips is what you’re most attracted to now. A word of caution, Saturn and Mars, will form tough angle from the second half of this month, disagreements or difference of opinion with your loved one is also possible. Creativity is especially high, if you are an actor, singer, and writer or related to these fields in some ways, this is an especially good time. You will have a fabulous power of expression and creativity, which could bring you success. If you have children, this period will be important for them too in some way.

LUCKY COLOR: Pretty pink.
