Horoscopes: What's with August? By Imhotep Surreal experiences arent always what they seem, my dear Crabs, as people born under the Cardinal Water sign of Cancer (22 June-22 July) are sometimes called. Reflect deeply on this matter, especially with this current situation. Take in this latest data with your heart and soul as well as your eyes and ears. Leave your ego behind and see what conclusions you reach. Cautious Crabs know they must tread carefully. Home is often the centre of affection for Cancerians. Small wonder then that they do not take kindly to confrontations within the family. A mildly tense domestic drama is in the offing, though, my dear Crabs. Crabs might be a bit too eager to please their lovers in August, but their loved ones will play hard to adore. Expect some turbulence on the marital front, but rest assured my dear Crabs, all troubles of the heart will soon fade away. You will experience a surge of unpredictable energy and youll be going places. So prepare for take off. A new crush, a fresh flirtation, a great date are all distinct possibilities now. The Stars are sending you extra warmth and wonder your way. Use this energy as kindling for something hot. It is more about counting your explorations now than it is about claiming your territory or staking your turf. Stay open to all of loves possibilities, my dear Crabs, for they are certainly open to you. How will you express affection this August? Indicate your interest. Issue that invitation. You are putting out fires everywhere, my dear Lions, as people born under the Fixed Fire sign of Leo (23 July-22 August) are sometimes called. Learn to deal with ambiguity by letting it exist. Try. Tensions are palpable at the moment. This looks like a no-win situation only because you chose to see it in terms of winning and losing, my dear Lions. Staying flexible is the key. Meanwhile, change is in the air. Certain Lions can feel the depths that others can only dream of. By the end of August, the charitable side of their sensorial natures will come into full play. Lions typically listen to peoples concerns and fears. But, Lions are normally very clear about the difference between pity and compassion. Pity is passive, compassion means that you do something to help another person out of a difficult situation. Compassion is genuine love. Pity is impotent, negative thinking. Compassion accomplishes much good, and is a potent force. Use your compassionate powers. Blink a couple of times before you say you cannot believe it. It is likely that what you thought was in front of you is actually an optical illusion. Whew! What a relief. Now you can carry on with your usual business. Treat yourself to something special. Your emotions will be right over the top, so doing something nice for yourself certainly couldnt hurt. That includes spending time with someone you love, of course. Your ability to pinpoint the locus of the problems of loved ones is truly impressive, my dear Virgoans, as people born under the Mutable Earth sign of Virgo (23 August-22 September) are sometimes called. Now you just have to find a way to tell them discreetly. Remember, if they dont ask, they might not want to hear it. And, this will probably go on all summer. Love will work wonders for Virgoans in the weeks ahead. It would be one of those endless romantic summers, the most memorable of days. Enjoy. The person who offered you so many options a month or two ago now pressures you for a decision. Take your time, think and re-think before you give an answer. Keep your ears open, my dear Virgoans, for someone wholl express an extremely different point of view than most people you know. Theyll fascinate you and maybe intimidate you a little, but youll definitely learn something in the process. Look out next week for Imhotep's reading of Libra, Scorpio and Sagittarius
