Read your horoscope prediction for this month

As mercury goes retrograde in August, it’s a month to slow down and be open to receiving rather than constantly investing your energies. You will get the desired results as long as you learn to trust the universe and be flexible. Be mindful of how you walk your path by looking deeper into what your August horoscope is according your zodiac sign.

Aries (March 21-April 19)The month will start slow but end with a bang. You will be all over when it comes to work. You need to prioritise and take one day at a time. Work will pick up pace after 6th August, and expect more work after the 17th. There will be more recognition after 11th August and people will be proud of your accomplishments. Health will be sensitive from 8th to 16th August; eat on time. Family life will be rough between 13th and 24th August. A lot of friction might lead to an emotional breakdown during 22nd to 27th August but you will emerge stronger and wiser. Let people be—if they need to approach you, let them. Socially, you will paint the town red till 16th August and then slow down to make necessary changes in your life.Karmic tip: Be balanced.
