 Neil Giles is a storyteller, astrologer and historian. He is a novelist and journalist and has written for theatre, radio and television, as well as many articles for Astrology on the Web.
His passion for mythology and the ancient traditions has led him on a journey through Astrology, Tarot, the Runes and the Celtic Ogham Script as a seeker and personal reader.
He is the author of a number of works on Celtic and Teutonic spirituality, including Odin's Runes and The Oracle of the Trees.
For Neil, the storyteller's path reminds us that while the wisdom of the past still lives, we can take wise action now and in the future. Always a traveller, Neil has now returned to the glorious Southern Highlands of New South Wales, on the East Coast of Australia.

Define Your Dreams
Plans or schemes for business will require a crucial or defining choice. You may have too much on and need to be discerning and selective. Don't mix friends and money.
What is the pursuit of your dreams actually costing you? Be perceptive. Are you planning a foray overseas? Are you seeking to take a new course? Make the hard decision about what can and can't be done. Be ready to put your holdings on the line to do something of worth. Consult with expertise or experience for financial advice. Older people or their affairs may feature.
There may be revelations or changes that affect the financial picture with the Full Moon in Aquarius on Aug 8th. You may start a venture or find that a change will alter your situation. Personal spending will be affected by changes with joint finance. One big decision will determine that a lot of smaller decisions must be made, especially where the budget is concerned.
Discussion and negotiation over love or money will continue from there. See the perspective of others. Listen! Take the ideas of others into account. Don't be swept away by exaggerated reactions or big promises. New connections, especially from overseas, will feature as the Sun moves to Virgo on Aug 23rd, bringing a New Moon. You may study, learn new skills or methods or have to adapt to new ideas or beliefs. Legal concerns may feature. Your beliefs may face a challenge or be called into question.
