August
You'll notice a definite generation gap during the first half of August. It will be much easier to communicate with
people from your age group than members of previous and subsequent demographics. Beware of obeying an
impulse to change your look on the 8th, when a challenged New Moon can tempt you to overhaul your image. It's
better to wait until next month to alter your hairstyle or dramatically update your wardrobe. Your financial and
professional prospects will soar during the middle of the month. This is a great time to negotiate a raise or land a
lucrative position; you might return to a former employer who always appreciated your talent. The Full Moon on the
22nd will cause a close relationship to burst into flower.

You could get a few good laughs out of your relationships with Venus having passed over your natal Mercury three
days ago. All the laughs, the fun, the gossip and the interaction will remind you what it is to be human. Maybe
you've lost touch with that more easy-going side of your nature recently. Try not to let it happen again!

Four days ago Venus made a connection with your natal Mercury. A friend might come to you with some problems
of a personal nature and you will lend them a shoulder to cry on. You have been enjoying your relationships lately
and if someone needs you, you will do your best to offer the advice and guidance they seek without trying to dictate
what they should do. After all it's their life and the ultimate choice is up to them.

In four days time Mercury will be connecting with your natal Venus. You might expect to receive a few invitations

days.

Creativity can be expressed through art, poetry and photography. Don't feel guilty if in the mood to daydream as
you could come up with some inspired ideas. You're keen to help young people perhaps through voluntary efforts
using modern-day technology. Some of your friends might have a downbeat attitude but there is a whole culture
taking interest in technical devices and electronic reading and you might feel there could be advantages in this for
young people and their studies.
