Horoscope: August 17 - 23

Improvements in relationships seem like a dream come true; back up any promises made. A change in status and finances comes with marriage, partnership or other unions as the mood is generous. Dig deeper to confront any suspicions or pull together fragmented info - it could be important. Power play ultimately affects location for those involved; some are stubborn. Talks keep some sense of continuity while those in charge figure out what to do. Give up something to make gains later. Establish order by Friday the 22nd. Energies are turbulent Saturday. Dodge.
