Bahrain This Month - August 2012

BTM August 2012 135 Aries March 21 – April 20 As August wheels its way in, you may feel slightly deflated seeing others close to you plan holidays, social events or family get-togethers. This could have something to do with the fact that a partner’s lack of attention is leaving you suffering from a sense of vulnerability. A good course of action might be to sit down and talk things through with a loved one. Once you have achieved this, you will be better prepared to put your life in order. Don’t be too surprised to find there are always two sides to every family disagreement so, if your advice is called for, be certain you hear both of them first. Card of the Month — The Chariot TAURUS April 21 – May 20 If you have been suffering a low point at work through lack of enthusiasm, then fate may just step in this month and point you towards a unique opportunity. You could suddenly find yourself presented with a position that has been a life-long ambition and any doubts or uncertainties should be cast aside. On the health front, a niggling back or shoulder complaint will finally be cured, although you shouldn’t rush back into your normal routine too quickly. However, be sure to watch those pounds as a gradual increase of weight over the last few months has been obvious and you have done little to stem the tide. Card of the Month —The Star Gemin May 21 – June 20 August is very much a month of choice for you, with some difficult decisions to make. Firstly, you need to address a problem within the home where a member of your family is perhaps taking advantage of your generosity and beginning to display a side to their personality you are quite offended by. If you can, try to avoid a scene. Another problem could arise at work, where a male colleague’s incompetence could result in a major fault with some serious implications. You may be the only person who knows of his discrepancy and you could be forced to choose between your conscience and friendship if events demand it. Card of the Month —Strength Cancer June 21 – July 20 There is love in the air this month and the person you are attracted to could cause heads to turn since they are considerably younger than you are. If you do find yourself smitten, you would be best advised to take things slowly since there is the suggestion things are not quite all they may seem to be. Be especially careful not to dismiss the advice of a close friend. You might also find yourself invited to a party in August and if you have to buy a present don’t just buy the first thing you see. You’re setting yourself up for an embarrassing incident.
