Fire in Chinese astrology is what you need to truly work toward a goal or dream. The first week of August is dedicated to organizing your schedule and making sure you have room in your life for what you want to work on. The 6th and 7th are perfect for taking a first meaningful step to show your dedication in getting things started.
The second week of August is about seeking support from others and getting approval for your activities. If you're working on a relationship, your significant other's buy-in comes through this week. The third week of the month, August 17 - 23, things feel super challenging, especially around August 20 and 21, but don't give up. You'll discover what people and habits are no longer useful to you. You're turning the corner, entering a new life chapter on August 22.
The last week of August is when you really see how good life becomes. Everything works seamlessly. You're in the groove by August 28. On August 31, your life really starts to take off. Let's see how this unfolds for three animal signs all month long.
1. Ox

In the first week of August, good things fall into place for you because you take initiative. On August 6 and 7, you start a new project that you truly want to do. You feel passionate about your ideas and look forward to putting your time and energy into making it a reality. At first, you might feel a little scared that you won't pull it all off. But that first step forward helps you see that any action is better than no action.
The next week, on August 15, it becomes pretty clear what you can't do anymore. You might try to hold on to old routines and patterns while building your future. However, that comes to a stop over the weekend. You'll let go pretty easily, though, because you're practical. By August 18, you feel more settled and stable. This is when you stop making compromises with your time, and on the 19th, you fully commit. Your schedule eases, and you have less stress now.
On August 23, all the things you wanted to fall into place start to settle into a routine. By the 30th, your life looks exactly how you wanted it to. You're ready to embrace it fully with pride.
2. Monkey

Sometimes, you have to start small to get things moving in the right direction. Good things fall into place for you when you do a quick decluttering of your personal space. You have a few little irritating messes you know could be more organized. On August 2, the pillar energy is in your sign during a Remove Day. You handle problems immediately, and the energy lifts in a way that you didn't expect.
August 6 is a big day for you because you hear news from a coworker that something is changing at your job. On August 10, you find out that things are looking good for you because you're positioned to handle them well without any compromise to your schedule or pay. Another beneficial change arrives on August 23, which involves the receipt of money or some type of gift. You'll feel fairly pleased with how things turn out this month for you.
You are very responsible this month and use your income wisely. Good things happen in your personal life as a result of your professional life. You pay off a few bills that were lingering over you and causing stress. You manage to save money and repair something that was broken and needed to be fixed.
3. Pig
Design: YourTango
A very healing month is here for you, Pig. Life starts off feeling pretty good, and it's clear that August is going to be a season of personal growth. On August 5, a project begins. It's what you've wanted, and it goes well without any issues. On the 8th, though, you have to let something (or someone) go. This is hard, but it's also the breaking off you need to make your life better.
Around August 17, things feel like they are in balance. There's nothing you have to prove, and nowhere you necessarily need to be. The fact that your situation seems to be headed in a positive direction gives you energy to help others and to be charitable to causes you believe in. Your assistance positions you nicely within social circles and boosts your reputation.
You may have one mishap that causes problems in your life, tech-wise, but don't worry. If you have a piece of equipment that stops working, it will be very inconvenient at first, but it gets replaced before the month is over. By August 29, life is in order so much that you feel safe, secure, and emotionally solid.
