This week, you could feel inclined to 'rally the troops' or play an integral role in getting those closest to you together in some way. The one area you're most likely to focus your efforts on involves your family. You could find that you have an influx of ideas that can help to strengthen your connections or possibly build bridges with family members whom you may have become distant from. You appear keen to remind those closest to you and possibly demonstrate with loving gestures or actions how important they are and reasons why you also believe it's important to be closer, emotionally and in terms of physical distance. The suggestions and changes you put in place from this week could be integral to achieving the closeness you want.

There could be plenty of activity during the first half of the month that you'll feel determined to ensure is shrouded in secrecy. That doesn't mean you're up to anything deceitful, but much of what you're considering or planning is likely to be private or behind the scenes. Your efforts to keep a low profile or off everybody's radar could prove to have been wise due to what occurs on August 8. However, from the 18th, the curtain is lifted, and the pace of life picks up considerably. Your mojo returns in a way it hasn't done for some time, and you're about to make clear to others how “back in the saddle“ you are!.
