Pisces is not a materialistic sign, but sooner or later you realize if you don’t send out checks, everything in your life will come to an abrupt halt. Money is, if you think about it, stored energy, and for Pisces, often is accumulated through some form artistic or creative expression. This month your expenses will be high, so you’ll need to pay more than usual attention to cash flow. Expenses will simmer down in mid-September, so there will be an end to all this number crunching.
The cardinal cross on August 6-7 may find you at an end of patience for those who expect you to be their source of money in every instance - some are not even real emergencies. You are a kind soul, but sometimes even you have to find the courage to draw the line and say, “Enough!” Friends and even a lover who assumed you’d never turn them down for a favor may have a jolt of an awakening when you show you won’t be taken for a doormat anymore. Indeed, come August, you will show you mean business.
The financial pressures on you are causing you to feel this way, but it’s all for good. You have been taken for granted by at least one person so when you call an end to all this, it might actually help the person you are dealing with to shape up.
In terms of your financials, Jupiter is still in your house of money, so it appears that for the first time in a long while, lots of cash is coming in to you, but plenty seems to be going out, too. If you should be lucky enough to discover a new steady pipeline of money this month (possible), hoard as much as you can for as long as you can, because your financial forecast through the rest of the year is erratic. Seeing a nice sum of money in your bank account can be quite comforting - and a new experience for a sign as disinterested in money as yours! I will say your financial outlook in the first five months of January 2011 will be superb, so keep working toward your goals.
Whether you are self-employed or not, assignments are on the way to you, and will show up just after the new moon, August 9 plus two weeks.

Neptune will be opposite that new moon and allow you to put your own stamp of individuality on your work - always good news to a Pisces!

You can now repair, restart, or rejuvenate a relationship.
