Taurus

August  2026

 Taurus still has both Saturn and Neptune sitting in your twelfth house. Both are now retrograde. As both planets appear to be moving backwards instead of forward, some sort of health issue might slow down. Or you may go back to some old medication. This energy can show up in terms of your health but since Saturn is involved, there may be some kind of slow-down in your career. This will pick up again in a few months, but for now, you may be a bit frustrated in having your promotion delayed. You may also start to look at a different profession or different way of doing your current job. This area of the chart is very mystical and so you could be looking at how you go deeper into spiritual work. 


Earlier this year you had Uranus move into your second house of income and prosperity. So there may have been unexpected income or unexpected bills happening. Mars will be here as well until the 12th, so you certainly have your mind on money matters. If anyone decides to treat you well or give you a gift, be sure to accept and be a gracious receiver. 


Mercury is finally in direct motion and ready to move on. It stays in the sign of Cancer for the first ten days of August and then moves into your fourth house and the sign of Leo. A good time to entertain. Have friends over or throw a party. You may want to make some changes or decisions about your home and what it looks like. The Sun and Jupiter are joined at the hip in this same house for most of August. Your energy and your emotions are on the rise. These two together can bring about something positive and some real help in terms of either buying or selling real estate. And to top it off, you have the New Moon Solar Eclipse on August 12th also happening here in this same place. So lots of changes happening but all for the good.


Venus is also on the move for August. The first week of the month it sits happily in your fifth house. A strong romantic time and a good time for children and grandchildren. Then it moves into your sixth and brings some nice work energy and good vibes for health and well-being.
