August 20
Most of us are willing to accept we can always do better or improve ourselves in some way. Others, well, we know they can struggle at times to understand the line that exists between seeking improvement and an obsession for perfection. We all sometimes have to connect with our ability to say, 'enough is enough.' Is your keenness to achieve perfection in some way not proving to be a draining or counterproductive exercise? That might be your first clue that something you're determined to improve might be close to perfect as it is!
August 21
A plan or aspiration needs you to aim high - or possibly a bit higher - in some way. It's by doing so that you'll raise your expectations regarding what you want to happen. Keeping your vision in 'safe territory' won't move it forward in a way it deserves. Once you see for yourself what a bit more effort and faith can accomplish, you'll lose one or two inhibitions attached to taking the bold step that deserves to be taken.
August 22
It's easy to look at something we must give effort toward that doesn't inspire us but not so easy to change our attitude toward it. We underestimate what we might actually achieve if we embraced what needs doing. Sometimes, we even end up enjoying the experience. Where you might feel disinclined to give your effort in a particular area, with a slight attitude adjustment, you might end up enjoying what you're certain you'll resent.
2018 Yearly Horoscope
Aries, you're on schedule to reach your dreams and goals in 2018. Money looks good; Investments grow for most of the year as lucky Jupiter expands the area of your chart connected to resources. Personal wealth grows, and an unexpected opportunity comes along from mid-May to early November when Uranus revolutionizes the earned income part of your chart.
Review and make plans when your ruling planet Mars enters a retrograde cycle June 26 - August 27. Use this time to think carefully about your next step. Reunions are likely, connecting you with old friends and opportunities previously unexplored.
Saturn, the planet of structure and karmic initiation, is activating your 10th House of career and public standing all year. If you're doing what you love and loving what you do, then the next year should bring incredible reward. You could reach the top of your field provided you remain disciplined. If you lack focus, it's likely you'll feel pressure to find something new, pursuing a vocation that feeds your soul rather than just a job that pays the bills.
Venus retrograde from October 5 - November 16 allows you to re-evaluate your personal life; slow down and enjoy your relationships. Travel is most rewarding late October through the end of the year, especially when you’re re-visiting a place you love and connecting with old friends.
