Aries

Getting Involved

With the wrong people or staying with someone who isn't right for you is a possibility in the beginning of August. Try to pay attention to the little warning signs that may give you clues that you aren't compatible with the person you're spending the majority of your time with on the 1st through 3rd.

Jealousy

Has a tendency to make you jump to conclusions on the 4th, 5th and 6th and again on the 18th and 19th, but the most important thing for you to do on these days is stay calm -- you'll get to the bottom of things if you don't fly off the handle. The 15th, 16th and 17th are good days for you to initiate things, and if you've been waiting until the time is right to ask someone out, midmonth is that time.

Your Emotions

Run high on the 23rd and 24th, which doesn't exactly make these ideal days for you to talk about something that's bothering you with your partner. If you can wait until you're a bit more rational on the 27th, 28th or 29th to discuss your problems, you'll be able to come to a much more satisfying conclusion than you would previously

Taurus

Steady and Reliable

Bulls make extremely steady and reliable partners on August 1st, 2nd and 3rd, so if you're with someone who values honesty, integrity and loyalty, be prepared to be worshiped. You have a tendency to ask probing questions of your spouse or date from the 4th through 8th, and although you're only doing it to get to know them better, they may see it as more of an inquisition, so try to be more laid-back with your curiosity on these days if possible.

Someone

 Who is your intellectual equal catches your eye on the 11th and 12th, and if you're single, this could be a good opportunity to find a date with whom you can actually have an intelligent conversation for once. Your passionate side comes alive from the 15th through 19th, but even in the heat of the moment, it's important not to forget about romance, Taurus. You're more likely to make a break for it than stick around if you begin to get bored with your romantic relationship on the 25th and 26th, but your loyalty returns on the 30th and 31st, causing you to apologize and ask for your partner's forgiveness -- if you're lucky, they'll forgive and forget

Gemini

 Emotionally Involved

Getting too emotionally involved in other people's dramas can be a problem on August 1st, so while there's nothing wrong with trying to help your partner, make sure you give them ample space to figure things out for themselves before you step in and take over. You can be a very high-maintenance spouse or date on the 4th, 5th and 6th, but the love you have to give is worth the effort that the other person has to put out, so your desires probably won't be met with much resistance!

Long-term Dating

 Geminis who are in long-term dating relationships may want to finally pop the question on the 9th or 10th, but for commitment-fearing Twins, the 11th and 12th are days when you value your freedom even more than usual. All Geminis have a tendency to be more stubborn than usual on the 18th and 19th, which could bring you to a stalemate in an argument you're having with a significant other, but making up on the 25th and 26th is so passionate that all of the arguing may have been worth it after all! No one realizes that love is a two-way street more than you do on the 30th and 31st, but don't let yourself be taken advantage of -- it's okay to say no every once in a while

Cancer

Clinging

 To your mate isn't something you're likely to do in the beginning of August. Although you value the stability of being in a long-term, committed relationship on the 1st, 2nd and 3rd, you definitely know where to draw the line between caring and obsessing.

Confidence 

You exude confidence on the 4th, 5th and 6th, making it easy for you to ask someone out who you've been too shy to approach before, but try not to let yourself appear overly anxious or arrogant on the 11th or 12th -- these behaviors will not attract the kind of people you're looking to attract. You can be very demanding on the 15th, 16th and 17th and very giving on the 23rd and 24th, and the best thing to do at the end of the month (especially the 30th and 31st) is to find a balance between these two behaviors. You have a soft heart that might allow your mate or date to get off the hook a little too easily for something they've done on the 27th, 28th and 29th, but if they are sincere in their apology, there's really no reason to hold a grudge
