Recent events in the last days of July have not gone according to plan leaving you deflated and disappointed. That does not mean you shouldn’t aspire to move on to greener pastures Aries: merely that the timing is wrong. Partnerships are still very much under focus, and, it would seem, full-on, so you may have to reconsider how to deal with something or someone who is creating nothing but setbacks. Whilst the first week of August brings exceptionally good things to your table, your focus should now be on some kind of creative enterprise, or an offspring. A new phase is about to emerge from the 10th bringing positive and unexpected events to the fore; just ensure that your professional life and personal hang-ups don’t overshadow the need to move on.

Events around the 26th July brought professional issues into focus, so it may be time to give some attention to your home-life and partners, both of which may need some additional TLC applied. What is clear here Taurus is: that whilst after the 7th, you are likely to be in your element, and enjoying the throes of some professional success, partners appear to be less than impressed. In fact, you are going to have to use all of your Taurean charm between the 8th and the 20th to balance the demands which are placed upon you in order to keep both sides of the professional and personal equation happy. A New Moon on the 10th could bring unexpected offers your way; just ensure that you are not neglecting those who need you more.

As the focus of your attention appears to be on your finances, and the things and people which you deem to be central to your happiness, there appears to be the need to important issues surrounding that most prized of assets to a Cancerian: your home and family. Some kind of creativity is underway, at the request of partners, and in order to keep the peace, you may as well turn your attention to it, as long as it doesn’t stretch the purse strings unduly. Seemingly, a new phase is about to emerge surrounding a creative enterprise or hobby, which could sow the seeds for a new professional outlet, adding some important pennies to the coffers. Whilst there is undoubted ambivalence about forthcoming offers, don’t look a gift horse in the mouth Cancer.

Whilst current planetary activity suggests that your career is thriving, that in itself brings demands which require some balancing. Partners and home life appear to be taking a back seat as professionally, you appear to be able to do no wrong. All of which will give you a much needed boost, and the confidence to reinvent yourself and your brand image through a make-over and a new you. A New Moon on the 10th August gives you the opportunity to start a new project or relationship and whilst you may be in two minds as to how to best approach this, others have their own commitments, financial and otherwise, which may affect your decision making. Your own priorities must come first Leo, so take a back seat to no one.

As responsibilities to home, family and an enterprise start to kick in, you are likely to be experiencing demands which others are starting to make on you. Whilst there is no doubt that you are basking in the sunshine of success this month, it appears to be in spite of the condition of your partnerships or your finances. Plans that you wish to adopt, which may not be realistic just now, will have to be put on hold as financial constraints are brought to bear, and whilst others are still in a state of flux, be mindful that they too, are reviewing and reconsidering their own movements. However this is a month to further your social life and to enter into new friendships with those who could become important to your future.

As professional and domestic matters are brought to a head at the end of July, leaving you the worse for wear, instead of dwelling on the negative, concentrate instead on the positive opportunities which present themselves this month. Whilst you may be working productively behind the scenes, covert, or yet unseen work is at play, and a New Moon on the 10th, gives you the opportunity to expand and reinvent any creative enterprise or hobby, increasing your finances. Whist you may have little say, with others seemingly ruling the roost and holding all the cards, rest assured Scorpio, you appear to have friends in high places right now who are willing and able to further your cause. Your time will come.

Domestic dreams which you once held with high regard, have been shelved as financial issues were called into question. Now however, with finances starting to look rosier, it is giving you the opportunity to reconsider long held ambitions. You may choose to use this month to start investigating and researching options which are open to you, and whilst you may have to convince partners in the future, you should use this month to reignite the dream. Meanwhile, as any hobby or creative enterprise, with some risk attached, seems to need tweaking, particularly if it involves an offspring, it may be advisable to consult with a specialist. Events around the 24th highlight the need for partners to reconsider their professional standing.

As ever, career matters are uppermost in your mind Capricorn, and you appear to have the advantage of having the considerable support of superiors who are in a position to further your dreams. Which is great, as it will help you focus your attention on finances which appear to be a thorn in your side. A new phase is about to emerge which should provide an unexpected but welcome boost to your bank balance. Whilst responsibility to your home is still ongoing, and differences of opinions on how to handle it seem likely, ensure that you make time for your chosen path, as there really is no better time to pursue it than this month.

Whilst recent months have been fraught with difficulty and tension, it has undoubtedly affected your health and confidence considerably. However, much of that has passed, so you may now wish to enhance your life by broadening your knowledge of a subject, of seeking reassurance through someone with specialist knowledge. As relationships of all kinds are under focus, some kind of agreement or arrangement will be under focus which will enhance your friendships, or your finances. Original courses, new clubs and societies are all up for consideration, so count nothing out Aquarius, as whilst you may have difficult choices around the 21st, you have the opportunity to reinvent many areas of your life.

As you take time to reassess what it is you want personally and professionally, there still appears to be a restlessness that nothing can quell. The first thing you can do is to take on new dietary and exercise regimes which will do much to restore your flagging spirits. Chances to reinvent your life are in the offing, but there are a number of hurdles to overcome, both on the 16th and 21st, and, not least, within your own uncertainties. Whilst offers may not live up to your dreams, others appear to have the upper hand for now, so you should bide your time before committing to anything which you will later regret, particularly around the 24th. Your bargaining power is set to improve so don’t give your talents away cheaply.
