Energy meets ambition, but don’t forget to pause for a breath.Today’s vibe is all about channeling your fiery drive into productive wins, Aries. The universe is handing you the mic—and people are actually listening.

You are articulate about your opinions. You are self-assured, positive and convincing. This is the last year of a nine-year cycle, which means it’s time to take inventory of your life. It’s time to let go of the people, places and things from the past that have held you back.

Tune into your own needs and self-expression during the month of August; it could be a time to really shine. As you move toward September, expect at least one lucky break. You could improve your finances and/or your status.
