Monthly Sagittarius Horoscope

August is a month that opens your horizons and says "look far, think bigger," Sagittarius. This month your energy is high, your curiosity is alive, and your eyes are always on something farther away. Inside you, the urge to go somewhere, learn something new, or chase a dream grows stronger. This month you don't fit between familiar walls; a wider world is calling you.

This month your learning, your beliefs and your faraway goals come to the front the most. On August 12th there's a very strong new-beginning energy in the sky, and this energy is all about that big step you've been curious about and kept putting off. A course, a journey, work involving faraway places, or a plan you've had in mind for a long time could suddenly come to life. Toward the end of the month, you'll turn your eyes to your home, your family and your inner peace; after all that outward enthusiasm, returning a little to your roots will feel good.

Love and relationships: This month adventure and excitement are at the forefront in your love life. For those in a relationship, discovering something new together, a short getaway, or building a big dream about the future refreshes your bond. Believing in the same things and looking in the same direction is very valuable this month. Singles could grow close to someone from afar, from a different culture, or someone they met on a trip or in a course; someone who shows you a new world catches your interest. At the end of the month there's a bit more emotional depth and making peace with the past; an old hurt could quietly close.

Career and money: This month invest in developing yourself, learning something new and growing your horizons. A course, a certificate, work involving faraway places, or an opportunity you didn't expect could knock on your door. After August 12th the energy is very strong for taking a bold step, accepting an offer, or making a big decision. In the second half of the month your position and goals at work come to the front; it's time to turn what you've learned into concrete work. Still, don't get swept up in your excitement and rush everything; put your money down step by step rather than all at once.

Health and energy: Your energy is high this month, but be careful not to overwork your body. Your most sensitive areas are your hips, thighs and liver; don't overdo it with heavy, fatty meals and alcohol, and drink plenty of water. Walking, exercise and time spent in nature will do you a lot of good, but don't strain your muscles with sudden movements. It's a very active month; don't forget to stop and catch your breath now and then.

Key dates: August 12 - the strongest day of the year; a time to make a move for a bold start, a big decision, or a faraway goal. August 23 - after this date your mind works more clearly, so focus on your work and your goals. August 28 - home, family and inner peace come to the front; let go of an old burden and lighten your heart.

Advice of the month: Don't think small this month, Sagittarius; listen to that bold voice inside you and take the first step toward that faraway goal. Your dreams are closer than you think.
