Leo

August is the month which can change the course of your life, split 2017 into two distinct periods and define a new period after its end. Mars, the North Node and the eclipses are all in your sign and Venus joins them as from August 26; you should perhaps be ready for big karmic challenges. You have the opportunity to make an important step in your personal or professional life, to disturb the stagnant waters of your personal life, and to convince yourself that there are next steps and that you are not bogged down. You should not discuss the financial conditions of a new beginning before August 13 because there are probably details you did not manage to properly notice. A new acquaintance at the current juncture might set your life on fire and be the spark which changes its course. Finally, a loss from your life may seem too serious but you will soon realise that it was the catalyst to discover new paths which introduce you to a new chapter of your life.
