Horoscope. (Astrology).

Leo July 23--August 22

The first of August begins a yearlong cycle of growth and opportunity Initially some of what accompanies the arrival of the bountiful Jupiter in Leo isn't exactly welcome. But progress frequently involves letting go of the past, as events around the New Moon in your sign, on the 8th, make dear. The more prepared you are to consider even seemingly unreasonable options, the broader your horizons become. Thus during August's second half, when even more surprising developments bring a measure of turmoil to your personal life, you recognize the potential--even in chaos.

Virgo August 23-September 22

As clear-cut as matters are to you, others won't necessarily see them the same way. Consequently, you must discuss your views, plans and feelings in depth or risk later confusion. This may slow the pare. But is also forces a review of your priorities, which is particularly important when potentially extensive offers come up, during both August's first and third weeks. Forget about hurrying decisions, however. Because of tricky circumstances, your hands are tied. More important, only after the insights that accompany early September's Virgo New Moon will your priorities be clear.

Libra September 23--October 22

You excel at juggling the demands of others with your own needs. But August's exciting, if unrelenting, developments challenge even your considerable skills. Events themselves are not the problem; it's just that frequent--if welcome--changes in circumstances require that you revise plans several times over. This is a highly demanding task that requires an in-depth analysis of your situation and priorities. Such focus proves illuminating professionally and personally. And in romance, exchanges restore a closeness to others you feared had been lost for good.
