Perfumed Horoscope: 02 to 08 August

Instead of overcoming the obstacles with love, for many are conflicts still the first choice when dealing with problems. This week the control over destructiveness can easily be lost. Energies are aggressive due to overestimation of power, blind ambitions, and quantity vs. quality disputes. You can find life where you can't lose your freedom. This week we look into celebrities and famous people who should serve as an inspiration for extraordinary fragrances.
 

Aries
Temptations involving you losing your temper and considering break-ups are an easy possibility this week. Put an effort to think before acting, because the consequences will stay for a while. Even the weekend may catch up with you with some confrontations and low energy. Postpone as much as possible for the next week. Japanese film director Akira Kurosawa and Eva Peron, "the spiritual leader of Argentina" are two extraordinary Aries personalities who deserve perfumes named after them.

Suggest perfume:

Taurus
You will feel somehow isolated this week. Make sure to defuse all your enemies, or not to have them at all, since they may have a field day this week. Focus on entertaining yourself and remodeling your living space. Low energy over the weekend will keep you considering new health regimen. Tauran woman Audrey Hepburn wore Spring Flower (born in May!) by Creed. It would be a wonderful challenge to put a sophisticated flowery arrangement with her name on a perfume bottle.

Suggest perfume:

Gemini
This is how you should focus this week in order to avoid the nasty waves of creepy energies coming at you: At first be introspective and romantic, even down dirty sentimental, but without involving the rest of the planet. Mid-week your brain becomes fully activated - and you are suddenly productive. The weekend can be ostentatious. Fun begins next week. Chanel N°5 became famous thanks to Gemini Marilyn Monroe who said in an interview in 1954 that in bed she wore only ‘some drops of Chanel N°5'. Why is there no perfume carrying her name?

Suggest perfume:

Cancer
Find a quiet spot within yourself to withstand all the tumultuous escapades this week. They can come from anywhere: Appliances malfunctioning at your home, partner looking to vent, and your boss acting cluelessly. Be aware of someone trying mid-week to talk you into something (also financially) that you may not want. Cancer spiritual leader Dalai Lama should have the incense perfume after his name as the ultimate spiritual fragrance.

Suggest perfume:

Leo
It could be an intense week when you are tempted to take a big risky move and completely change partners, jobs, place where you love, and even attempt to change the rules of the game. It will all play out on your communication devices, but check all aspects of your messages before clicking the "send" button. Tori Amos sensuality is just waiting to be translated into scents. It would be delicate and sexy as hell. Someone already gave it a name: Dirty Little Secret.

Suggest perfume:

Virgo
The power issues really become complected this week. If you are somehow put into a losing situation, don't doubt that you will rebound and exceed your own expectations by October. You'll be also much stronger from this week's experiences. Focus more on your internal creative juices and you provocateurs will remain disarmed. The ultimately passionate but still green fragrance should carry the name of Van Morrison. I don't know what Fragrances of Ireland are still waiting for?

Suggest perfume:

Libra
You are slightly in the frame of mind: "How much does it take to...", and your targets are: 1. Dis-empowering someone on your home front, 2. Disillusioning your partner's strange ideas, and/or 3 Making a big leap and accepting them! So yes, you are impatient and in need of a clear plan for every single action. Remember: In the coming month you can accomplish a lot! Why not have a fragrance with the ultimate message of peace, and name it after John Lennon?

Suggest perfume:

Scorpio
Have a firm vision of success at this time. For you it's certainly not a retirement at 30 on the beach. As you ask yourself casually this week: "What am I doing this for?" expect some substantial philosophical fallout. Work on a little journal reflecting the broadness of your life, something you don't see yet. Consider this wisdom of Scorpio woman Jodie Foster :"Normal is not something to aspire to, it's something to get away from." Fragrance named after her would certainly be a complicated and sophisticated mix.

Suggest perfume:

Sagittarius
Some people have restless feet syndrome, yours is the restless wings syndrome: You keep flying from one place to another in no time. You might be required to fix few things before taking off even higher: One friendship gone awry, competition, and you may also need to define the treasure before you go on the hunt. Sagittarian Frank Zappa needs his own fresh, dirty and exhilarating fragrance, provocative but not disgusting, stimulative, but not addictive.
 

Suggest perfume:

Capricorn
I hope I'm mistaken about the big charade of unpleasantries this week. Your home and family are needy and your superiors suddenly develop language that you can't relate to. Consider quitting for a job where they speak your language, since this influence will stay for about a month. It's the last week when you can still revise and advance the values of your public persona. The perfume named after Capricorn Martin Luther King, Jr. should show that fragrances can be part of social responsibility and democratic involvement.

Suggest perfume:

Aquarius
Suddenly there are many things you want to share that you usually keep hidden. It's possible that you have found a medium for you kaleidoscopic mind. Remember that at no point you are required to sacrifice anything, and that you partner will be there for you with a careful advice, (which you will not follow, of course). This week is not so good to go against the flock  If you are still single and looking, spend more than usual time in the book store cafeterias. Bob Marley could easily be the most relaxing perfume ever.

Suggest perfume:

Pisces
You money sector is taking a hit this week, so be very careful not to do anything foolish. You will also encounter with the age-old dilemma: "Should I spend a lot of many, or have a lot of sex, or both?" On the more serious note, the pull towards maintaining a sound routine is pretty strong for now, and remember that being careful doesn't involve worries. Let's consider Jack Kerouac Perfume. Dust, junipers and herbs growing along the wild lonely roads. How much more romantic can a fragrance concept be?
