GEORGIA NICOLS' Horoscopes for August 2024 - Currently CumberlandCurrently Cumberland

Aries (March 21-April 19)
This month has lots of Fire energy, which is good news for you because you are a Fire sign. Meanwhile, back at the ranch, your ruler fiery Mars is moving into your House of Communications. This is a double whammy! It means this month is the perfect time to express yourself to others — great for those in sales, marketing, teaching, acting and writing. Nevertheless, both the Sun and Venus will also make this a fabulous time for vacations, social outings, romance, sports events and fun times with kids. Enjoy!

Taurus (April 20-May 20)
You’re a sensuous ripe peach. (You love good food, good wine, good sex and a nice place to live.) This month, the Sun and fair Venus will encourage you to relax at home, redecorate and make where you live more attractive. You’ll want to entertain as well. You might be involved with family more than usual, especially a parent. Invite family and friends over because people will enjoy laughter, good food and drink. It’s also an excellent time to explore real-estate deals.

Gemini (May 21-June 20)
You’re PowerPoint on steroids this month! Fiery Mars has moved into your sign boosting your energy, your aggressiveness and your sex drive. Woot! Mars will also make you more of a fighter for your rights than usual. Your physical energy level will be high, which makes you pumped and up for anything. Meanwhile, your days will be fast paced; and you’ll be eager to talk to everyone. You’re keen to learn new things, travel and discover new experiences. Fun times ahead!

Cancer (June 21-July 22)
This month your focus turns to money, cash flow, earnings and possessions. Of course, you’re never casual about money. You are thrifty and frugal. Nevertheless, this month, you will spend money on beautiful things, clothing, jewelry, art objects, leather goods to name a few because you want the enjoyment of these items. However, at a deeper level, you’ll be thinking about your core values and what is important to you. You will want to know what really matters because if you don’t, you might miss the boat. (You don’t want to be 90 years old looking in the mirror thinking, “You blew it, kid.”)

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Ta da! This month the Sun is in Leo. (Happens only once a year.) This will boost your confidence and up your game! This is also your chance to recharge your batteries for the rest of the year. You will project yourself to others more forcefully. You’ll make a strong impression on everyone. You will also have a need to express yourself because the Sun and Venus are both in your sign, making you charming, diplomatic and energized. (You can see what a winning combo this is.) Knowing this, now is the time to go after what you want. Make your pitch. Doors will open for you. Shop for wardrobe treasures!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Your personal year is drawing to a close because your birthday is a month away. That means this month is limbo-like. You’re waiting in the wings before you step out centre stage to take a bow. (Modestly, of course.) However, you can use this time to think about what you want for your new year ahead (birthday to birthday). Why not identify some goals? Goals give you a sense of purpose. They clarify future decision-making. They give you a clearer focus on what’s important, which ultimately gives you better control over your future. Cool!

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
Good news! This month is the most sociable time of the year for you. Meanwhile, you are one of the most sociable signs in the zodiac. This is why friendships will be important right now. You’ll want to catch up with people and exchange histories. You might also wonder what role certain friends play in your world? You want to find people who accept you for who you are, better yet, they love you for who you are. And best of all – they’ll pick up the tab for lunch. (Kidding.) This is also a great time to work with others. Partnerships will flourish.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
The Sun is at the top of your chart this month, which is eventful. This happens only once a year and when it does, it symbolizes that you’re in a spotlight. And this spotlight is flattering! This means you look great to others, which is why you might be asked to take on increased responsibilities or given a promotion. Fear not, you can handle whatever is expected of you because it’s all smoke and mirrors. People will admire you whether you do anything different or not. It’s time to advance your agenda!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You are the traveller of the zodiac, and this month the Sun is urging you to travel, see foreign countries, and learn and study. You might also explore avenues in medicine and the law. Meanwhile, Venus will attract new romance with someone “different.” Naturally, you’ll welcome chances to travel for pleasure, even if it’s a tiny get away. Meanwhile, fiery Mars opposite your sign, could make you irritated with partners and close friends. Consider this an opportunity to practice patience. You can handle this.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
This month is full of passion, heady romance, and the stuff of movies. “Natasha!” “Boris!” You might meet someone who makes you question things in your life. They might even be a force for change. They might challenge your value structure? Meanwhile, you will have a stronger focus on financial resources, shared property, taxes, debt and inheritances. You might also be concerned about trying to borrow money or get financial backing. Underlying all these possibilities, you will have a strong desire to be the best that you can be. And why not?

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Once a year, the Sun is opposite your sign. That time has arrived. This makes you involved more than usual with your partner or a close friend. The good news is this polarized position of the Sun gives you more objectivity to understand your relationships. While you can’t change the other person, you can change yourself. To put a finer point on it, you can change how you respond to that person. This is your best chance all year to improve your closest relationships. Bonus!

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You’re gung-ho to work. You intend to work efficiently, effectively and probably longer hours. This is because you want to get things done. You can expect a strong sense of reward and satisfaction from what you do. If you work with others, coworkers will be supportive and helpful. In fact, some of you might strike up a work-related romance in the next few weeks. Meanwhile, home improvements or visiting guests will make you put out extra energy to pull things together at home.
