Monthly Aquarius Horoscope

August is a powerful month for you, Aquarius, where your relationships and the people across from you stand out and something changes at its roots. The thing that touches your life the most this month will be the people standing beside you; your partner, your love, your closest friend or a business partner. A matter that's been building up for a long time between you and someone comes to the surface this month, and it can no longer be ignored. This may sound hard, but it's actually a cleansing process; the bonds that truly do you good will stay, while the ones that drain you or are one-sided will slowly be left behind.

The middle of the month is the strongest time of this year for you. Around August 12th it's as if a new page opens in your relationships; you may build a much deeper bond with someone, step into a partnership or reach a clear decision in a relationship. Even though you're someone who likes to act on your own, this month tells you, "sharing some things is lovely too." Be ready to listen to the person across from you, to open up a little more and to move forward together.

Love and relationships: This month is right in your wheelhouse. For those in a relationship, everything is more intense and more real; either a very strong closeness or the laying out of matters that haven't been talked about for a long time. Both strengthen the relationship. If you're single, a serious person may enter your life when you least expect it; this person will feel familiar to you and yet just as captivating. Just remember this: this month feelings move fast, so give yourself some time too.

Career and money: On the work side, partnerships, agreements and the people you work with stand out the most. A collaboration you build with the right person may open a door for you this month. Toward the end of the month, turn your attention to money. Around August 28th a matter involving income, budget and the things you value closes; an old debt may end, or you may decide to drop a spending that's now a burden to you. It's a good time to simplify your relationship with money.

Health and energy: This intensity in relationships can tire you out mentally from time to time; it mostly affects your sleep and your nerves. Open up some breathing room for yourself, and don't blow every argument out of proportion. Watch your circulation and your ankles; don't stay in the same position for long, and get up and walk now and then. Plenty of water and light exercise keep your energy balanced.

Key dates: August 12 - the strongest day of the year; a new beginning, an important decision or a powerful closeness in your relationships. August 23 - after this date, your attention shifts to your daily routine and your health, so it's time to get back in order. August 28 - a matter involving money and the things you value closes, so it's time to let go of the old.

Advice of the month: This month, instead of being strong on your own, try being strong with the right person, Aquarius. If you open your door a little, you'll see bonds that truly do you good come into your life.
