Monthly Horoscope

You're caught between going out and having a blast with friends and staying in and saving up for something bigger and better. It's a tough dilemma because you don’t want to miss out on all the fun and get a reputation as being boring but you also don’t want to fritter away your cash on a few good times when you could be saving up for one fantastic time. The key here is to try and strike a balance. By all means meet up with mates but suggest a night in with DVDs or something similarly cost affective. By the end of the month you should be experiencing the strong pull of desire and enjoying some passionate moments.

There's a chance that you will be accused of double standards this month when it appears that what you say isn’t what you do. Avoid confusing people and alienating friends by being as honest as possible about your intentions. Your energy levels increase mid month so you will achieve more and feel able to take on more tasks. This will also be an auspicious time romantically and you will feel energised by your connections with other people and maybe find you have a special deeper connection with one person in particular.

You may find yourself experiencing a niggling feeling of irritation that you’re being pulled in a number of directions in September. In fact your feelings this month could help you realise that you’ve been neglecting certain areas in your life that actually need special attention. Your home life, work life and relationships are all going through a state of flux and it’s definitely unsettling. However, these changes could be for the better. Maintaining the status quo can become very dull and uninspiring. Meet your challenges head on and in a positive spirit and you could find yourself actually enjoying the task of improving them.

The beginning of July should see your home life relaxed, fun and... expanding! In one way or another the house gets bigger in September, maybe there's a baby due or a lodger coming to live in your house. Prosperity is also connected to the family so maybe someone you’re related too has a wind fall. Spend time socialising and hooking up with friends you’ve not seen in a while as this month is a good time for initiating get togethers. You are adept at creating a warm and welcoming environment so why not get people around your place and really show off your host skills.

A practical approach to September will see you knuckling down and getting jobs done and dusted. That might sound dull, but as a Leo you have a talent for adding a touch of pizzazz to even the most mundane tasks. It may feel as if it's a case of merely making the most out of things, but that is a skill in itself. You may find people are not being as straight with you as they could be in September, so guard against taking people too literally. If possible get official promises in writing and watch out for half heartedness in people around you. It's probably best to avoid anyone like this for a while.

The start of September could see you feeling good about the abundance of good things in your life. Lady luck seems to have paid you a visit or perhaps you have simply realised what it is you value most in life and feel all the more richer realising this. In practical terms, you have a lot of energy this month and you should easily achieve your goals and more. One word of caution is watch out for potential power struggles with people with a hidden agenda. You may find that others are playing their cards close to their chests and you don't really know what their plans really are.

You are at your most charming, sociable and charismatic best as September starts. You seem to have that certain something and people will want to spend time with you because it's fun and you seem to know where the party's at. You’re really shining in certain social circles and proving a hit with the right people. It looks so naturally effortless to others but you’re actually being quite shrewd. You know that some of the biggest deals are made in social situations and you are keen to make the most of them when they arise. Keeping on good terms with influential people will have long term benefits.

There's something of the healer in you as September starts, so you may find yourself tending to people who are suffering either physically or mentally. Whether it's nursing someone’s broken heart, mopping up cuts and bruises or visiting an elderly relative, your role as carer will be much appreciated. You’ll be learning to compromise mid month when your desires clash with someone close to you. On the plus side, you’re at your most alluring this month so with a few choice words you should be able to get things mostly your own way.

The need for more freedom is brought sharply into focus this month when work demands come under the spotlight. You will need to weigh up your responsibilities against your own personal need for space and new experiences and strive toward a happy medium. A long term plan may be in order that sees you dealing with your work in a way that will gradually lighten the load and allow for more experimentation. If mundane tasks continue to get you down then arrange some one off activities for your free time that provide new, adventurous and outrageous ways of letting off steam.

Your sense of fairness and justice will be finely tuned this month and you'll be putting extra effort into seeing that you and other people are getting what they deserve. You may also discover that a creative approach to your plans will yield particularly good results. Other people will admire your generous and benevolent spirit, but watch out for unscrupulous types who might just take advantage of your good nature. But that's a small issue in an otherwise prosperous month for you.

You are likely to feel a strong urge to do something that makes the world a better place this September. With your innate social conscience perhaps you're keen to do a good deed that benefits a large number of people. If you have an artistic nature perhaps you could create something that's beautiful and simply makes people happy to behold. No matter how large or small your gesture, your goodwill shall not be lost on people who will appreciate that you are just trying to make life that bit sweeter.

You may be getting a distinct and unshakeable feeling that a close relationship is curbing your freedom this month. However, it's probably not a great idea to suddenly shut people out of your life declaring that you must be alone to find yourself! Explain to those closest to you that your need for room is not a rejection of their company and you may be surprised to find that they're much more at ease with giving you breathing space than you’ve given them credit for. Also this month you may find you are just the person needed to sort out another person's troublesome finances.
