Wed Aug 1: Repent At Leisure

It feels as though you're being bombarded with information today, making it difficult to know who to listen to first. This will be even more confusing if you're trying to straighten out a financial or official matter and everyone is giving you different advice. You're in an impetuous mood and could agree to something on the spur of the moment that you'll regret when you've had time to think about it. Positive colors are gold and purple. Lucky numbers are 40 and 22.

Thu Aug 2: Full Moon

Thanks to the Full Moon in your seventh house, we see partners saying what they think and awakening a general atmosphere of tension. Try not to get sucked into petty squabbles or time-wasting arguments over ridiculous details, because these will make you feel very unsettled and leave a bad taste in your mouth for the rest of the day. Try to see the funny side in what's happening. Beneficial colors are teal blue and silver. Lucky numbers are 28 and 7.

Fri Aug 3: Splashing Out

If you're going shopping leave your credit card at home, because you're in the mood to splash out. None of them may cost very much by themselves, but the total will soon mount up if you give into temptation every time you see something you want. It will be hard to stagger home because you're laden down with so many carrier bags! Inspirational colors are ivory and burnt orange. Lucky numbers are 15 and 48.

Sat Aug 4: Proceed With Caution

The closer you are to someone, the more likely it is that the atmosphere between you will be highly charged and slightly tense. Maybe one of you is feeling neglected by the other one, and you're craving their attention. There could also be a hint of jealousy or possessiveness in what happens between you now, and you'll have to proceed with caution. Auspicious colors are blueberry and aqua. Lucky numbers are 28 and 34.

Sun Aug 5: Break Out

You long for a break from your usual routine, and you'll be counting the minutes until you can get away if you're about to go on holiday. This is exactly what you're in the mood for right now, so plan something else that you can look forward to if a holiday isn't on the horizon. How about arranging a weekend away or inviting a friend to come and stay? Ideal colors are kiwifruit and apricot. Lucky numbers are 1 and 69.

Mon Aug 6: Stand Strong

You normally have a healthy dose of self-confidence but it could easily evaporate today, thanks to the dispiriting or ego-sapping behaviour of a certain person. You might suspect that they're looking down their nose at you or they're deliberately trying to make you doubt yourself for some reason. This may be true but it might also be all in your imagination. So take care! Favourable colors are burgundy and cream. Lucky numbers are 17 and 22.

Tue Aug 7: Walking On Air

Romance lights up your life during the next four weeks, much to your delight. You might experience this at second hand, perhaps because a loved one is walking around with stars in their eyes or because you'll revel in watching some soppy films. Alternatively, you could get drawn into a deliciously romantic phase with a certain person, and you'll be walking on air. Inspirational colors are lemon and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 11 and 14.

Wed Aug 8: Limelight

You're feeling good as Mercury turns direct in your sign, especially if the limelight is on you and you can demonstrate your talents. You'll also be thrilled if someone you respect pays you a compliment or makes it obvious how highly they regard you. If you're out shopping, you could spot a status symbol that you long to buy. Beneficial colors are brilliant white and jet black. Lucky numbers are 25 and 7.

Thu Aug 9: Busy Lions

Busy? You bet. The trouble is that there aren't enough hours in the day for getting everything done, and as a result you may get in a flap. Once that happens, spats and quarrels look more than likely, thanks to your lack of patience and the temporary departure of your sense of humor. But don't be mean to people just for the sake of it. Fortunate colors are fire engine red and dark blue. Lucky numbers are 11 and 33.

Fri Aug 10: Chase Them Up

If you're waiting for someone to repay a debt, do your best to chase them up during the next few weeks. You'll make it plain that you aren't going to let them get away with it, and you'll keep reminding them that you're waiting for your money. Money in general will be important to you, but don't let it make you unduly materialistic or acquisitive. Opportune colors are lime and lemon. Lucky numbers are 13 and 57.

Sat Aug 11: Putty

Are you longing to be swept away by romance today? If so you'll be putty in the hands of you-know-who. This is great if you trust them and you have a good relationship, but be wary of allowing yourself to be manipulated by anyone who may not have your best interests at heart. Right now you're feeling very idealistic and not able to protect yourself when necessary. Auspicious colors are ginger and dark grey. Lucky numbers are 71 and 62.

Sun Aug 12: Get Cracking

Get cracking on creative projects today because they'll go really well. In fact, you could surprise yourself! Whatever you do now, you'll want to put your heart and soul into it so will feel cheated if you've got to do things that don't really matter to you. If this happens, make up for it in your spare time with activities that require your complete involvement. Favorable colors are cornflower blue and amethyst. Lucky numbers are 32 and 70.

Mon Aug 13: Matters Of The Heart

Life is full of delicious surprises today, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. Your beloved might sweep you off your feet all over again or persuade you to do something daring together. If you're currently unattached, your heart might miss a beat when you clap eyes on someone who's never appealed to you in the past. But they'll really get you going at the moment. Auspicious colors are brass and Walnut. Lucky numbers are 24 and 17.

Tue Aug 14: Assess Your Priorities

This is a good day for assessing your values and priorities in life, and making sure that you're giving them enough of your attention. You won't be interested in simply passing the time with activities that don't mean much to you, and you'll also be reluctant to talk to people that you don't really care about. This may make you seem uncompromising, but so be it. Ideal colors are mauve and persimmon. Lucky numbers are 38 and 47.

Wed Aug 15: New Moon

Today's New Moon in your sign is giving you the opportunity to introduce all sorts of exciting changes and improvements to your life during the coming fortnight. And if it's your birthday today, then you can look forward to a year of transformation and pastures new. Either way, the rest of the month is perfect for getting projects off the ground and showing how enterprising you can be in the right circumstances. Excellent colors are violet and apricot. Lucky numbers are 1 and 9.

Thu Aug 16: Charm and Discretion

You're blessed with charm and discretion today, so it's the perfect opportunity to discuss anything that requires a gentle touch. You should manage to navigate your way around any conversational difficulties with no trouble at all. Things may even go so well with a certain person that you'll wonder why you haven't tackled the issues before now, and will marvel that you were worried about doing so. Expressive colors are tangerine and navy. Lucky numbers are 39 and 4.

Fri Aug 17: Speak Up

You've certainly got your head screwed on the right way today, so make the most of it while it lasts. Your thoughts are running along very practical lines, yet you aren't averse to some positive thinking when you consider it's necessary. You'll score a resounding success if you're taking part in a discussion or negotiation today, because you'll know when to speak up and when to maintain a tactical silence. Beneficial colors are pale cream and dusky pink. Lucky numbers are 21 and 35.

Sat Aug 18: Impetuous And Daring

Someone is rather impetuous and daring today, and dead keen for you to join in. But should you do this? Even if you minimize the disadvantages and emphasize the benefits, you should be wary of getting involved in anything risky, illegal, or likely to cost you an arm and a leg. There is too much at stake. Fortunate colors are silvery grey and olive. Lucky numbers are 2 and 28.

Sun Aug 19: Caution To The Winds?

Are you being enticed to throw caution to the winds and do something reckless? You might be tempted if you're worried about being seen to be a killjoy, but there are compelling reasons why you should avoid doing whatever is currently being suggested. Better to be derided as a scaredy cat now than as a complete fool later. Auspicious colors are pale orange and peacock blue. Lucky numbers are 3 and 50.

Mon Aug 20: Serious Lions

You're taking a serious view of life today but there's no need to worry about all sorts of things. Try not to keep these thoughts to yourself because they will only depress you and make you believe that things are worse than they really are. Instead, either confide in someone you trust or pour everything out on paper. You'll soon feel better. Beneficial colors are turquoise and crimson. Lucky numbers are 8 and 55.

Tue Aug 21: On The Move

Keep on the move today, Leo. You'll enjoy making contact with different people. What's more, being active will help stave off any hint of restlessness or boredom that might otherwise steal over you. If you're going shopping it will be fun to take someone with you for company or to arrange to meet them afterwards for a drink or a meal. Auspicious colors are ruby red and dark gold. Lucky numbers are 15 and 26.

Wed Aug 22: The Value Of Things

The Virgo Sun over the next four weeks awakens occasions when you'll be very interested in the value of things. This might be the spiritual value of a belief or activity that gives extra meaning to each day, or it could be the monetary value of your possessions. Although this is a good time to concentrate on your finances, don't do it to the exclusion of all else, or judge people purely by what they do or don't own. Expressive colors are copper and platinum. Lucky numbers are 3 and 22.

Thu Aug 23: New Start

As Mars heads into Scorpio, physical activities and concerns involve personal possessions, domestic arrangements, family property or business, and real-estate transactions in general. Enthusiasm for doing things as a group may see an increase in family activities. Are you inspired to rescue or restore heirlooms? It's the ideal time to make a new start. And if you have been thinking about a new business venture or gaining a physical goal, it's time to put plans in motion. Fortunate colors are crimson and apricot. Lucky numbers are 2 and 4.

Fri Aug 24: Creative Abilities

Spend time with some of your favourite people today because you'll get even more pleasure from their company than usual. You don't have to do anything special either, because simply being together will be enough. You'll also enjoy expressing some of your creative abilities, and this will help you to get rid of any pent-up emotions that are currently bothering you. Dynamic colors are steel blue and taupe. Lucky numbers are 39 and 70.

Sat Aug 25: Mischievous Monkeys

Children will be even more playful than usual until early September, so you have to keep an eye on them. Make sure they've got plenty to occupy their active brains, otherwise they might get into trouble. Older loved ones could also be up to a few pranks, such as playing practical jokes on you or teasing you at every opportunity. Give as good as you get! Beneficial colors are ebony and ivory. Lucky numbers are 6 and 30.

Sun Aug 26: Forbidden Fruit

If you're supposed to be counting the calories at the moment or not allowing a morsel of fat to pass your lips, you'll struggle to keep to your resolve today. That's because you'll be very tempted by treats that are currently forbidden, especially if you feel in need of some emotional comfort. Giving someone a hug or listening to music will be better than raiding the cake tin. Prosperous colors are topaz and marmalade. Lucky numbers are 11 and 77.

Mon Aug 27: Rebellious Lions

A loved one could be careless of your feelings today, making what seem to be crass or insensitive comments. Or is this character accusing you of something similar? It's difficult to keep a check on your emotions right now, if you're in the grip of rebellious feelings that demand to be expressed. Try to limit any damage as much as possible. Favorable colors are warm brown and silver. Lucky numbers are 10 and 62.

Tue Aug 28: Two Minds

If you're in two minds about your relationship with a certain person it will be even more difficult to work out what's going on today. For a start, you aren't thinking as clearly as normal so there's a chance that you might talk yourself into believing what you want to believe. You're also very susceptible to this person's charms and don't want to hurt them. Favorable colors are navy and tan. Lucky numbers are 16 and 18.

Wed Aug 29: Keep Busy

Are you feeling agitated or annoyed about something? Do something constructive about it, otherwise you're likely to take out your feelings on whoever happens to be around. This means you might pick a quarrel over something really silly, simply so you can let off steam. It will help to stay busy and physically active. Auspicious colors are burgundy and oyster. Lucky numbers are 9 and 38.

Thu Aug 30: Emotional Minefield

Emotional matters are a minefield today, as the Moon's node moves into Scorpio, your house of domestic conditions, family relationships and making a new start. This major new phase lasting for some 18 months awakens the need to improve your home, or redecorate, or even move to a nicer place. This may not be your own doing, because family real estate will be open to change too. More on the Moon's Nodes. Fortunate colors are lemon and magenta. Lucky numbers are 4 and 56.

Fri Aug 31: Full Moon

Reassess your joint financial arrangements during the next two weeks, making sure that there are no loose ends waiting to trip you up. Are your tax affairs up to date? Have you paid your latest credit card bills? If you're fed up with the so-called service provided by your bank or building society, this is a good opportunity to take your custom elsewhere. Auspicious colors are charcoal grey and lemon. Lucky numbers are 25 and 71.
