Happy August, Marylanders! Can you believe we've already made it to August! It's incredible that we're already thinking about fall, back to school, and maybe even....Halloween? Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's plenty of summer left to enjoy, and here's what Madame Maryland saw in her crystal ball. 

Aries

Who says you have to stick to the plan if it's just not working? You may need to pivot this month, and that's okay. Your backup plan could be even better than what you originally had planned! 

Taurus

Maintenance isn't the most exciting thing in the world, Taurus, but it's necessary. August is a great time to make sure your car's all good, your health is up to snuff, and your finances are in order. Book some appointments and get peace of mind! 

Gemini

Cancer

Don't get distracted too much this month, Cancer. You may miss out on some important information or some great opportunities! Pay sharp attention and don't discount small details. You won't regret it later! 

Leo

You've got no problem with a little rain on your parade this month! In fact, having a relaxing rainy day could be exactly what you need. Grab a good book, a soft blanket, and a cup of tea, and let the rain wash away all your worries. 

Virgo

You're ready to go after your goals this month, Virgo, but it would help if you have a clear idea of what those goals actually are! If you're feeling a bit scattered, it can help to talk it out with a friend or journal about what it is you really want -- then you can go chase it. 

Libra

Scorpio

Have you been holding back because you're worried you're not good enough? Perish the thought! Your friends will support you, whether you're taking a stab at karaoke or running for local office. Don't be scared! 

Sagittarius

Are you taking good care of your skin this summer, Sag? Sunscreen is key, and so is a good skincare routine! No need to overcomplicate things, but if you haven't taken time to give your skin some love, August is a good time to start a new pattern. 

Capricorn

A serious conversation could be coming around the bend, Cap. Are you ready? If someone takes you aside and wants to get deep, be willing to go there with them. You're ready to handle whatever it is! 

Aquarius

The people in your life may need some cheering up this month, Aquarius. You're the right person for the job. A simple text or a full-scale visit could both make someone's day, so consider who might need a cheerful word these days and reach out to them today. 

Pisces

Be bold, Pisces! This is the perfect month to say yes to that new job offer, to ask out that cute person you always see at the coffee shop, or quit something that isn't working out. You've got the brains and confidence, so put it into action!
