摩羯——译者：脚步
爱与私密关系以某种方式在你的生活里占据着重要的位置已经有好一会儿了，而在八月的大部分时间里这一状况依旧会持续进行。同样也有着关乎权力及控制的事态——这一点可是毋庸置疑的——并且如果你并不是身处一段浪漫关系之中的话，这就会是存在于你与老板或某位有着相似权威性的人物（或机构）之间。

好在你在这些日子里更好地照顾到了你的个人需求，但在月初的时候你还真的需要对个人财务做出额外的关照。通常而言你会是一个彻底敏锐而又明智的人，但这一次的满月会影响到你惯常的城府之心[1]——因此就得要确保别脑筋短了路去购入农场或是任何其他大宗货品了（当然了只是暂时如此而已）！

但这可并不仅仅是会影响到财产和购置而已，它同样也会对你的个人价值观产生很大的影响力，或者也许是你以某种方式在一件物事之上投入了多过它本身价钱的价值。

举个例子说，一栋房子可能展示出某种生活态度或是给了你什么印象，于是你就向其中投入了感情的成分。现在你必须要弄明白你所真正重视的是什么，以及它对你而言在你的生活方式、自我尊严及金钱价值之上具备着多大的意味。

八月会是关乎于挑动出能够推进你的雄心及生活方式的改变，包括事业与个人的变化，但在某些领域里同样也会有着对这些被推崇的改变的抵抗力。

比起现在的你，人们也许会更加习惯曾经那个随和得多的你，在这些日子里你再也不想去卑躬屈膝或是听从任何人了，而这样一来就会造出些摩擦。而在你将某一境况（或者某个人）视作是你达成个人目标的阻碍之时，他们则会认为你有些倔强而且过度坚决了。

对你来说阐述自我立场比起以往更为重要了，因为人们应对你的方式以及/或者对你需求的处理正是与你对自我的感觉紧密关联着的。拒绝会让你缺乏安全感，而接纳与赞成则会给你注入巨大的信心。

但假如你并不允许自己的雄心被别人所谈及的话，你就会做出非凡的进展，并且你也真的能够在个人生活或任何你所专注的领域里描绘出美妙的线条（顺便说一句，这也是去参加面试的大好时机）。

某一财务事态会在月初的时候加入议事日程中，也许你会出手一份业务，或是收回一笔账，但不管是哪一种情况你都会因为这笔横财而眉飞色舞。

无论你是单身还是有伴，在几乎整个月的时间里（好吧确切说是后三周）你都会收到某一相当持续的关注，于是最起码你的感情生活会让你开心很多！即便你没有遇上这样的情况，你也会更为乐意地去制造和平氛围，去释放合作态度（而单身汉们在这个月会有着极大的可能性会搭上红线），因为在这段时间里你对于任何的进展都会做出高度的回应。你会突破一切的阻碍去找寻一位伴侣，因为你真的再也不喜欢这样没有人陪伴的日子了！！

此外当你统治世界的时候能有个人执手相伴当然是要更好些了……

In some way love and intimacy have figured strongly in your life for a while and will do so again for most of August. There are power and control issues also – no doubt about that whatsoever – and if you’re not in a romantic partnership, then this will be with a boss or some other similar authority figure (or institution).

Thankfully you are taking better care of your own needs these days, but early in the month you do need to take extra care about your finances. Normally you are completely switched on and sensible but this full moon is affecting your usual shewdness - do don’t go out and buy the farm or any other kind of major purchase (just yet)!

But this doesn’t necessarily have to do with possessions and purchases it has also a lot to do with your values or perhaps in some way you have placed more of a value on something than simply the dollar value.

A house for example may represent a lifestyle or image and therefore you have invested an emotional component into it. You have to work out now what it is that you really value, and how much it means to you, lifestyle, self-esteem and a monetary value.

August will be about instigating changes that further your ambitions and lifestyle, including career and personal changes but there could also be some resistance to these proposed changes in certain quarters.

People are perhaps used to you being more accommodating than you are now, you’re no longer going to kowtow or defer to anyone these days, and this is going to cause some friction. Whilst you see it as a situation (or a person) holding you back from achieving your goals, they see it as you being recalcitrant and overly determined.

It’s more important than ever for you to state your case, because how people deal with you and/or address your demands is closely tied up with how you’re going to feel about yourself. Rejection will cause you to be insecure and acceptance and approval will give you a big injection of confidence.

But you will make extraordinary headway if you don’t allow yourself to be talked out of your ambitions and you can really carve a niche in life or whatever areas you are immersed in (great time to go to job interviews BTW).

A financial issue will be on the agenda early in the month and perhaps you sell a business or receive a settlement but either way you seem happy with this windfall.

No matter if you are single or attached you will be the recipient of some rather persistent attention for most of the month (well certainly the last three weeks) and at least your romantic life will make you happy! Even if you’re not, you’re more willing to make peace and be co-operative (and singles have a very strong likelihood of hooking up this month) as you are very responsive to any approaches made at this time. You’ll be pulling out all stops to find a partner because you really don’t like being without one anymore!!

Besides it’s better to have someone to hold you hand when you rule the world…
