ARIES
Your help is needed to straighten out some bit of intrigue, deceit or downright lies this week. You may be a witness to some event taking place in your neighborhood. You may be asked to testify about what you have seen and heard next month. Keep accurate notes! You could hear something adverse about your investments but be patient - it all changes again next month and it will be fine.

TAURUS
The month of August could be very significant in your life. Some important decisions will be made and some important papers will be signed. You will be left wondering why you waited so long to do this. Your love life is improving again even though right now you may come across as sounding arrogant, it makes no difference. Long term investments are needed now.

GEMINI
You must start a savings plan to be ready next year for a large investment. If you do not save - you will lose out on a really great opportunity. You are dealing quite well with intrigue and lies this week. Everything said is so out of proportion and exaggerated that it really needs your expertise to straighten it out. Money is still tight so it might be a good idea to write out a ‘no frills’ budget.

CANCER
You should be keeping very careful tabs on your finances. Someone is trying to bluff you out of money. They seem to have a very good scheme going. This is not the time to be talked into anything - hold fast - your money should stay where it is for now. Your love life should be picking up now. You may meet an old flame next weekend and rekindle a fire you thought was extinguished.

LEO
People seem to be unreliable this week and gossip is rampant as usual. Everything is exaggerated out of proportion so try not to pay attention to what is actually happening. Hold onto your money as you could lose it. There is much intrigue around you. Be careful what you promise since you may change your mind later. Save your receipts - or you may be billed once again.

VIRGO
Money increases slightly now with another spurt coming in October and November. Keep an open mind. Some decisions you have recently made might change again by mid August. Now is a good time for learning something new. You can put it to immediate use. Lock up your house and car at night - there is a burglar gang in your neighborhood and it is better to read about it than to experience it.

LIBRA
Close friends of yours may be involved in some type of intrigue this week. Things may have become exaggerated and you have to step in and set everyone straight. You might have some good ideas now but they may have to wait to be implemented. Company you were expecting may have to postpone their visit until next month. Gossip is rampant now so do not believe everything you hear.

SCORPIO
You have about five more weeks before you see some peace in your life. You have been irritable since last January so you should definitely feel the difference by September. A favor or loan of money should be returned to you this next weekend. Do not make any significant plans until at least August seventh because before then people change their plans and minds.

SAGITTARIUS
Do not get caught up in the intrigues and gossip going around this week - you will just add fuel to the fire and then find later you were mistaken. It is better to stay out of it completely even though others are trying to pull you into the middle of it. You may find yourself filling out papers for a loan. If so, read the fine print or a mistake could be made. Be sure you understand the interest rate.

CAPRICORN
Read every word of the fine print and investigate thoroughly anything you think you want to add to your investments. Somebody is trying to sell you something this week that has been exaggerated or inflated beyond it’s worth. With research, you can still get a bargain. Do not listen to others - go your own way. Your money is fine where it is - do not listen to those scare tactics.

AQUARIUS
Intrigue, deceit and outright lies surround you this week. Be very careful what you say and/or do - it could come back to haunt you later. This is not the time for promises because they could be broken next month. Everything is being exaggerated and blown out of proportion. Be sure not to get caught in the middle. Be honest and conservative this week as it will payoff in the long run.

PISCES
An opportunity to make some big money presents itself but do not believe everything you hear. The money is there - just not as much as you are being led to believe. Ask for solid proof before committing yourself to anything. Be sure to lock up at night; there seems to be a burglar gang working your neighborhood. It is better to read about it than to be a participant in the story.
