August brings financial matters to the foreground. Take a close look at your financial situation and adjust your lifestyle accordingly. Pay off debts. Tie up loose ends. Clean up this area of your life.

Often, an 8 Personal Month, 9 Personal Year brings a stroke of luck; a payment from a forgotten source, or an inheritance. Use any extra income you might have to pay off your debts. You are facing a future that requires some risk taking, or investment. Perhaps you have been thinking about a complete career change or starting your own business. Either way, you need to get a clean slate before the end of the year.

You also receive recognition and compliments for effort put out in the past, which may result in a promotion.

Romance is in better shape than the last two months. If you are committed to someone and have experienced some troubles in the relationship, you will find stability and comfort this month. If you are single, you may meet someone through work or business.
