Month's Horoscope for AugustA dreamer and visionary you are not in your element stuck with chores or having to tackle practical financial matters. But needs must and you'll have to knuckle down and accept the way life is for three weeks. Since you'll be putting energy out you'll need to boost your stamina by sticking to your fitness and diet regimes. Refuse to be hurried through a demanding everyday schedule and clear space to wind down every so often. You will be keen to improve your personal finances but going full tilt into schemes that are a touch overly optimistic won't be wise. If you take one such situation for granted as an easy win, you'll find out before mid month that your hopes were misplaced. Slow but sure and double check every inch of the way needs to be your motto. There will be fun distractions from a lively social life after the 7th with invitations and compliments coming your way. Your workload will lighten in the final week with more support on offer from a close partner. Money will still throw up odd irritating problems but you'll be coping well.
