24 August - 30 August

You may be in a rare jovial mood this week and ready to fraternise with people you don't ordinarily spend time with. These may be co-workers or extended family members with whom you don't typically socialise. There may be a reason for this, Aries, but you don't have to analyse it to go out and have fun. Make a point of making a few calls on Monday and setting up times to get together.

By Wednesday, a glimpse into the future may be possible when a friend shares an opportunity that could be perfect for you. It isn't available yet, but if you start thinking about it and planning how to approach it, you will be fully prepared when the moment arrives.

By Thursday, take time to review your finances, as they may need some attention. Have you been staying true to a budget, or do you need to create one? Are you setting clear financial goals and researching how to implement them? This is an excellent time to take charge.

By the weekend, you may be in an ambitious mood, choosing to explore educational or work opportunities that help you build a secure, robust future. Make sure to also make time to reciprocate an invitation from someone special!

17 August - 23 August

You could certainly wile your week away daydreaming, relaxing, overindulging, and generally wasting time. That's not how you operate, though, Aries. You may start this week out in a cynical mood because of a recent disappointment, wanting to just lounge about. You may be thinking, "Why bother anymore?" After all, you put forth a great effort with a plan, and it fell through, but you aren't a quitter, and you need to pull yourself out of the trenches and start over. If you take on that mindset, then you should find yourself ready for action by Tuesday. That's when a missing piece of your plan will come to fruition, showing you that you are headed in the right direction.

By Thursday, a call from a friend to share good news of their own will also reveal something that could open up a new opportunity for you, too.

By Friday, a minor argument could reveal something you did not know about a money-related situation, and that will be very useful to you in managing a problem. 

On the weekend, if you still want to just relax, that would be an excellent time for it - and you should wind up with numerous options for enjoying yourself.
