19-25 august ◆ both ends of the spectrum

After last week’s reevaluation of what ignites your desires, it is time for the down-to-brass-tacks part of having those desires. A grand plan feels hopeful and exciting, but realizing a dream can become a mire of small or tedious tasks. Now is a time to consider those details while still riding that encouraging wave of inspiration. The expansive nature of dreaming is part of why it can be so pleasant, so try to work from a place of growth while you are tending to the necessities. Take care to be grounded in reality while your head is in the clouds.
The start of the week may highlight that time is marching forward with or without you. Try to keep up the pace and tend to small fires without being consumed by them. There will likely be an erratic pattern of fits and bursts to this part of the week, so watch for early signs of exasperation. You only need to step back from the fire to cool off.
This leads into a steadier middle of the week, focused on ideas and communication. Take this more grounded time to plan for some bigger or more long range goals that have been appearing on the horizon. What actionable steps are possible at this stage? How can you practicably move forward? Strategy is easier at this time. Be open to possibilities and explore unusual pathways, but closely investigate anything that seems too easy.
As the week closes look for some practical socializing. You may feel ready for a release after this week, but expect only a modest, not raucous, time. It could be a case of required appearance, just to show your face, but do not discount the possibility of sparks or unexpected desires to strike. The weekend is set to be a passionate time for those single  and partnered. If you don’t want to leave the house, it could be an excellent time to work on a creative project that requires a certain skill level. Technical tasks could be very fruitful or at least less arduous and a little more graceful.
