FUNSCOPE

JULY - AUGUST

---

Jan 20-Feb 18 (Aquarius)

Him: Whether your goals are love-related, career-oriented or just for bettering yourself, stronger and smoother communications remain essential throughout.

Her: Once pride is out of the way, love will become more of a "fading in" process. For various reasons, you may actually become distracted from the relationship game, and the unwatched pot will slowly begin to boil.

Feb 19-March 19 (Pisces)

Him: Your finances took an uptick in April, thanks to Jupiter's position in Cancer kicking off some beneficial aspects. Then, come summer, you'll be kept very busy with projects and interviews. There are rewards down the line!

Her: The relationship you build should bring your social and private life to a pleasant and steady rhythm.

March 20-April 19 (Aries)

Him: So why not get a jump on with what life is offering? If a tricky problem arrives in your romance, workplace or finances, remember that you'll do just fine! Like a beautiful and intricate spider web, you're going to feel connected with others via various strands of communication.

Her: "Wow!" Conjunctions will make dates a little more powerful and create a lasting imprint on both of your hearts.

April 20 - May 20 (Taurus)

Him: And with the Sun conjoining the Moon in Cancer, you'll be able to retreat with no guilt when the outside world gets to be too much.

Her: The level of familiarity you might have with friends, acquaintances, and neighbors might be equally unnerving and exhilarating. But don't worry! You'll be getting something out of it as well.

May 21-June 21 (Gemini)

Him: Venus in Capricorn regularly forms a comfortable sextile for the first part of the year with Saturn in your sign, thus putting a healing balm on potentially volatile issues. Thus, even troublesome questions can have acceptable answers. You and your loved one gain the superhuman ability to shrug and say, "That’s the way it is,"and be OK with that.

Her: For the first three months, with the Moon's sextile with Venus in Capricorn strangely augmented by the Moon and Saturn's conjunction in your sign, mixed signals might be the best way to describe how your communications are going.

June 22-July 22 (Cancer)

Him: With Venus entering Pisces on April 5, you may be allowed to push limits a little, but this is more of an acceptable agreement than a true understanding.

Her: With Capricorn being a heavy influence at the beginning of the year, capturing the Sun, Moon, Mercury, and Pluto, your year may get off to a work-heavy start! Before too long, however, you should settle into a routine while subtly planting the seeds for positive change within your work life.

July 23-Aug 22 (Leo)

Him: You're hitting the ground running this year, considering that you will need some balancing out. With you entering a relationship almost immediately you're finding that chores aren't back-breaking work but interesting puzzles that you're bending over backward to solve.

Her: You will have to ensure that your discussions regarding love don't remain abstractions, but have enough power that your beloved takes them to heart. There's a natural concern that this might lead to complacency, and in fact, it does lead to a summer defined more by strong individual moments than by a continuous thread of passion.

Aug 23-Sept 22 (Virgo)

Him: The latter half of the year is dependent on you being more of a listener. Situations will only reinforce your need to be open minded and a good listener, waiting for information. There's valuable information that you need to receive from your loved one, and compassion will be the key to the doorway of deeper understanding. Keep your eyes and ears open!

Her: Increased Fire in your relationship activity later in the summer, particularly in August and September, can only help new relationships along. However, be mindful of expecting too much too soon. Flames can't burn steadily all the time, and if you try to fan them too hard, you could get hurt. You might have to settle for short periods of relative inactivity. But that's all right, as the valleys of life help make the mountain peaks feel even higher than they already are!

Sept 23-Oct 22 (Libra)

Him: If you have strong ideas for establishing a business, friends will assist you in bringing them to fruition. Though there may be some resistance, you can still win people over if you make the case steadily and enthusiastically.

Her: The ability to take in and truly process information will serve you well at the beginning of your relationship. Right at the start family will have a heavy influence on your position and it will give you a strong tailwind when it comes to sailing the ship of love.

Oct 23-Nov 21 (Scorpio)

Him: You could be given the keys to doors that lead to added prosperity. Even if you get some questionable signals and aren't sure of all the details, you can still take time to sort it out. Your money isn't going anywhere unless you tell it to, and if there's a catch, you'll find it.

Her: With situations around you in most of the year and opposing ability to dream big, you may find yourself knee deep in home maintenance. And this doesn't just mean upkeep of your physical residence. It also means keeping family and romantic ties strong with a certain amount of effort. The work required will often be pleasant, but if you've ever wanted a reason to avoid laziness, this is it.

Nov 22-Dec 21 (Sagittarius)

Him: Adding to the momentum - particularly later in the year - your position in love is strong. Not only are you getting your second wind, but at last the work-to-results ratio is skewing in the favor of results.

Her: But why stop when things are getting good? When things are slowly falling in place even though you may not see things physically but things are getting better.

Dec 22-Jan 19 (Capricorn)

Him: If the beginning of the year felt somewhat flat and static, brace yourself! You're mostly in the clutches of an overheated work ethic, and it's taking you and your beloved away from spending quality time with each other into just working to keep things going.

Her: Take the time to get out, lock all the work distractions away in a box once in a while, and vent the outer frustrations that life occasionally gives you. With this, both of you can let off some steam and be able to connect to the things that truly matter once again.
