Remove Days are exactly the time to get rid of things you don't want in your life anymore. If you've waited for a really good reason to do a full-blown emotional cleaning, this is the time to do it because new energy is around the corner. This month, things are going to go from wishing to doing, and these animal signs know they won't be found unprepared.
1. Dog
Design: YourTango
Life gets so much better for you on August 2 because you reconnect with your family. Today, you decide to close the distance that has grown between you and family members. Life has gotten exceptionally busy. You have been working super hard to make it through each day. That's left you with very little time to talk to a grandparent or a sibling.
You've put the relationships on hold, not for any reason other than you just haven't had the time. It's made you feel like you're all alone in a big, big world. But on Sunday, you reach out and connect. You have a nice, long, warm conversation, catching up on things.
You get a rare chance to share some of your worries and get the help you need. Kind words encourage your heart, and you realize you don't really have to be all alone in the world. You just have to be more proactive in the future. You decide to make it a weekly thing where you reconnect instead of letting weeks go by and not talking.
2. Horse

You've had this one project lingering over your head for quite some time. You know that if you finished it, your life would be so much better, but you've still put it on hold.
On Sunday, you decide that no matter what, by the end of the day you're going to complete it. You set this time aside, even if it means calling out of work. You know that this personal item has to be done because it matters for your peace of mind. You do everything in your power to get through even those times when you want to quit.
By the end of the day, you reach your goal. Finishing what you start really gives you a sense of satisfaction, but on top of that, you know that it accomplishes so much more. You have exactly what you need to reach the next level of your life.
3. Goat

You've not been able to put your finger on a problem you have with someone. They haven't been completely honest, and you know that something is being hidden from you. Rather than pretending that everything is OK as you have been doing, you decide to ask. You'd rather live in truth than accept a lie. Your questions help you to figure out the root problem.
What you discover changes a lot for you. It's as though a weight has been lifted off of your shoulders. You can now make decisions without that negative feeling in your gut. You didn't realize how burdensome everything was even though you sensed something was off. Now, with the truth out in the open, you feel much, much better.
4. Rabbit
Design: YourTango
Life gets so much better for you on August 2 because you let go of the need to be in control. Life is complicated, but you have somehow gotten yourself into a situation where you wanted everything to be perfect before you make your next move. On Sunday, try to simplify and let others do what they can. Yes, you could do it yourself, but it would take longer, and then other stuff wouldn't get done.
You don't have to fine-tune all the details. You can do things when they are just good enough. In August, you focus on what absolutely has to be done and do it. Amazingly, nothing bad happens. In fact, you're super impressed! Everything works out really well for you.
