Your love life bursts into blossom between now and late August, so open your heart. If you're single, you could meet someone special at a picnic, sports event, or party. If you're in a relationship, start the courting process all over again. Take your lover out to dinner, schedule romantic weekend getaways, and think up sweet ways to make them smile. You may want to rescue a spiritual program you abandoned some time ago.

Staying close to home and hearth gives you a secure, cosy feeling that is positively addictive. Friends may wonder why they don't see you at the old familiar haunts. The reason is that you're developing happiness from the inside out. Noisy distractions will only deter you from your path. Make a special point of spending more time with children. You will all look back on this time with fond memories for years to come.

You'll be extremely busy between now and late August, but your chores will be pleasant. Perhaps you'll organise a party, reunion, or business function. Maybe you'll visit nearby friends for a change of scenery. You might even take a crash course in a subject that will make you more attractive to others. However you decide to spend the next three weeks, be assured you'll emerge a happier person.

Usually, you're quite mindful about saving money for rainy days, forgoing luxury for security. The next few weeks will be different, though. Perhaps you're fed up with your wardrobe, or maybe you want to replace some shabby furniture. Regardless of how you spend your resources, know that this is your time to pamper yourself. Purchases that speak to your soul aren't frivolous; they're essential to your well-being.

All eyes will be on you for the next three weeks, so pay special attention to your appearance. Find a new way to style your mane, or take a serious approach to exercise. Onlookers may accuse you of being vain, but that's because they don't understand how profound your mind-body connection is. Unless you look good, you won't feel well physically. Ignore all the snickering comments and put your self-improvement program into action.

You may decide to go undercover for the next few weeks, developing your spiritual side. Don't feel guilty about turning down invitations if you're not in a social mood. A giving person like you needs solitude in order to recharge your batteries. Devote your energies to activities that fill you with a sense of purpose and wonder. Going on solitary nature walks, reading for pleasure, and meditating could all prove rewarding.

Your social life is always rather busy, but it will be positively hectic between now and late August. Actually, you prefer having places to go and people to meet; it makes you feel popular and wanted. If you grow tired of flitting from one group to the next, why not throw a party at your place? This will give you a terrific opportunity to mix with all your friends at once. You will be amazed to see how well everybody gets along.

Your professional reputation is on the rise, in part because you're able to present ideas so well. The next three weeks are ideal for going on job interviews, applying for a raise, or trying for a higher position within your company. Don't worry if you don't have all the attributes of other candidates. You have something unique that sets you apart from the crowd: charm. This will take you farther than any degree or certificate.

Social activities related to school, culture, or religion may fill your calendar from now until late August. This is a marvellous opportunity to expand your horizons. If you meet someone whose views differ from your own, ask plenty of questions. Resist the urge to convert this person, especially if you have very little background in their area of expertise. An exotic trip for pleasure could be in the cards for you very soon.

If you've had arguments with your partner over money, now is the time to resolve them. You'll be able to hammer out a workable agreement between now and late August. Try not to render judgment on this person's spending habits; they were probably ingrained through childhood. In the meantime, examine your own attitudes toward finance. Is it possible you have a little maturing to do in this area? Be brutally honest.

Although intimacy isn't your strong suit, you will enjoy spending private time with a lover this August. Make an extra effort to wear things that delight your partner. If you're not in a relationship, focus on other people's needs for the next three weeks. Friendships and work partnerships will grow stronger if you listen more than you speak. Treat this period like an experiment. The results will astound and delight you.

Pampering yourself is key, especially since work is bound to heat up in a few days. Make a point of treating yourself to naps, gifts, and delicious meals as a means to balance your life. You're not the type of person who can keep your nose to the grindstone without any incentive at all. Don't get frustrated if your efforts seem to be going nowhere. Things will be in a holding pattern until October.
