The Horoscope For Everyone

If You Read Nothing Else ...

Be careful about any bullseyes, and the potential damage that can come from gains

Transitional Reading: Hexagrams 42.1 > 42.2 > 20.2 > 42.5 > 59.5 > 42.6 > 4.6 > 7

-

1) The Reality

The Three

There's a bullseye you're aiming for in August, but give some thought to the space between you and that outcome. A potential gain may look shiny, but expect a change of mind, and don't question any gains that'll show their actual shape over time. Noncommital might be a bit too indulgent this month, so avoid taking, or dishing out any damage.

Think "sacrifice" when it comes to any conflict over what the right path is

Reading: Hexagram 12.2.5.6 > 40

Transitional Reading: Hexagrams 12.2 > 12.5 > 6.5 > 12.6 > 64.6 > 40

-

1) The Reality

The Three

There's an element of freedom here, but it's up to you whether you take the higher purpose, or the popular path. Turn down rewards as an end approaches, and know all of that "conflict" will actually prove to reveal some level of a benefit. Plan for the worst at a decision point, but incompletion may result, regardless.

Reading: Hexagram 14.1.2.3.5.6 > 45

Transitional Reading: Hexagrams 14.1 > 14.2 > 50.2 > 14.3 > 56.3 > 14.5 > 35.5 > 14.6 > 12.6 > 45

-

1) The Reality

The Three

Try to prevent any 'forks' from ending up in any 'sockets', and back away from anything that just isn't right. Some resource-related help to move past a log in the road may cause some anxiety to be felt in the situation, just don't extend things too much here (if you're willing to make a big sacrifice). Be respectful about the material without worrying about what you'll get, and some divine intervention may create a sacrifice as you play out any premortems.

Will And Won't And Win

Expect an exhaustion's worsening

Don't expect a reward's ignoring

The reward is retaliation's guilt

Experience some bumpy deliberation over something you can't beat

Reading: Hexagram 35.1 > 21

-

1) The Reality

The Three

Your hand may be scratching your chin in August, or maybe your head. With all of that deliberating and "unknown," don't expect a whole lot of forward movement. And the ball rolling that actually happens might be a bit bumpy.

Will And Won't And Win

Expect anxiety's malice

Don't expect a short-term undoing

The reward is respect's support

Reading: Hexagram 47.3.4 > 48

Transitional Reading: Hexagrams 47.3 > 47.4 > 28.4 > 48

-

1) The Reality

The Three

There needs to be consensus about the valuable material in August, but just know that *that* connection might not be as close as you think it to be. There may be some layers separating you from others, so make sure your feet are following what you *feel* to be true. As a reminder, there *is* some value here, so keep your motives clear while not trying to dictate others like they're your action figure.

Will And Won't And Win

Expect divine intervention's craving

Don't expect repeating's "not me"

The reward is pain's leading

Reading: Hexagram 44.1.3.5 > 38

Transitional Reading: Hexagrams 44.1 > 44.3 > 1.3 > 44.5 > 10.5 > 38

-

1) The Reality

The Three

There's "opponents" this month, and if there's some treasure at the "end" tempting you, know that you'd need to put a lot of muscle into making that happen. If you're putting yourself at the "other's" mercy, it may involve being pretty busy, on top of giving up any upper hands. Lower the expectations, know what's "right" to you, and allow things to be transformed, naturally.

Will And Won't And Win

Don't expect certainty's observation

The reward is detachment's deception

Reading: Hexagram 44.1.3 > 10

Transitional Reading: Hexagrams 44.1 > 44.3 > 1.3 > 10

-

1) The Reality

The Three

You're stepping around danger this month, but the 'jewel' on the other side has a lot that you'd need to get through, to get to. Your advantages may slip away if you have to kiss any rings. And there's probably a little stressful back and forth busyness to go along with it.

Reading: Hexagram 6.2.5 > 35

Transitional Reading: Hexagrams 6.2 > 6.5 > 12.5 > 35

-

1) The Reality

The Three

Busying displays are happening in August, but try to lower the aim, and stick to what you know this month. All of that conflict might actually be a bit of a vitamin. And since something won't survive forever, turn down what seems like a trophy.

-

1) The Reality

The Three

Change is here, but some assumptions may be kicking around as some potential help is available. Connect with what's supportive, share what you have, and be selfless as a gift may come with a curse. You may end up beyond *this* if you're having any misunderstandings, but let the ill feelings clear up as more distance comes between you and "them."

Will And Won't And Win

Expect impervious elimination

Don't expect patience's possessions

The reward is finding's busyness

1) The Reality

The Three

Some cluelessness is abound in August, but don't be surprised if unexpected messages, or missions start popping up. You're getting some level of a finish, but it's not a forever one. And make sure you distance from who or what isn't right on top of it all.

-

1) The Reality

The Three

It's about balancing in August, so if you're not in control of the crossroads, try to achieve just a little bit. With any hard to trust shifts, get outside input, experience what being between a rock and "there" is like, and decide what is and isn't right for you. As you wait, be cautious and keep things fair, even if doesn't result in "results."
