August 2022

Now the focus shifts on people and relationships, ranging from personal to platonic to just professional. You will realize that to help you achieve success your people skills need to be honed. You will need to be sharp-witted and alert in order to identify potential (or even actual) threats to your welfare/progress. It may not happen but it is good to be prepared. In spite of all this, this month brings you caring and sharing, that is, fine companionship, close ties with loved ones and an overall feeling of both togetherness and contentment. The emphasis is on "us" rather than "me". This may be an especially busy time for people who consult or work with clients one-on-one.

Keep your expectations low and except for the unexpected! You feel the need for action, but if you don't know where you're headed, you might take the wrong turn. Unexpected changes in situations and people can test your endurance, and you might feel slightly off the track. Disrupted routines and plans figure now, and you’ll seek and adopt alternative approaches. Avoid making hurried and important decisions for the time being.

It is your work that you’ll focus on in this month, but more in terms of what you gain from it. You will be looking at both employment benefits as well as job-satisfaction and of course, striving towards both, and achieving them for the most past. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You will also be looking at working for the community and for society at large.

You're sensible and pragmatic enough to realize that you have to live in this world, even while seeking the higher one. Day-to-day needs and material demands have to be met, and one must have the requisite skills to move with the times. In this light, even foreign connections, visitors and friends from overseas are important. So are collaborators, idea-persons and above all a spiritual mentor or guru or guide.

You may work hard at making yourself feel more safe and sound, and you may be called upon to take charge on the home and family front. You may have to invest time and money in homemaking, house repairs, re-decorating or family activities. There could be new beginnings through buying a home or real estate. For some of you, relationships within the family could be a source of tensions, depressions and chaos. Try being helpful to others in the family, and avoid eccentricity as much possible.

A certain freshness and novelty of approach, ideas, feeling comes to you now in all your dealings. One more novel and interesting development could be moving into a new, entirely different personal relationship or the shift of attitude in an existing one, so that love and even passion are intensely experienced. Untamed and bold physical activities, or just plain irresponsibility and intolerance, can put you into difficult situations.
