This month, you give work, health and financial matters due attention. Mars affects self-care and selfless service from the 5th until August 20. The planet of passionate energy can reinvigorate your work life and highlight where healthier habits are needed, too. A Full Moon on the 13th targets your income and may feel unsettling briefly. But Venus comes to the rescue on the 17th, reassuring you that your financial picture is more comfortable and promising than you think.

From the 17th until August 11, Venus affects sexuality and deep sharing. So, intimacy could become more loving than recreational or less of a go-to outlet for energetic release. If there's something you want to say to a lover or potential sweetheart, Venus can make the experience more comfortable than unnerving, too. Yes, it might feel as if things simmer down intimately. But Venus encourages you to bare your soul, not just your flesh.
