August 23-Sep 22 | Ruling Planet: Mercury
At first you resent being saddled with a loved one's obligations, but what starts out as a chore could turn into a deeply bonding experience.
You want the best for loved ones, but do your overprotective instincts serve their interests? You may be hindering when you should be encouraging.
A brisk Mercury/Venus sextile puts a transaction on the fast track. Make the most of it while you can. Drag your heels and you lose out.
People may accuse you of getting on their case but there's good reason. They need to think about what they say preferably before saying it.
You start to see the downside to having ridden in on someone else's coattails. It was a means to an end and now it's time to end it.
Don't get challenging when someone is offering an olive branch. Your feelings are still hurt, but it's better to make love not war.
It's better to play it safe when Mercury squares Pluto. There's more going on than meets the eye.
Future aims aren't so farfetched. One even stands a good chance of coming through once you put your shoulder to the wheel.
Look at current headaches as payback for past transgressions. It's no fun but you can consider yourself paid in full by December.
Pay the Devil his due. It's pricier than you thought, but once paid you'll never be beholden to anyone again.
