Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
July: This month is a balancing act. You are revved up to work hard; in fact, you will be delegating to others. In this respect, you will accomplish a lot.

Consider this your opportunity to cultivate patience.
August: Although you still need to be patient with others this month, now the Sun and Venus are opposite your sign as well, which will soften things.
