Taurus
APR 20 - MAY 20
Practical Gains
Taurus, sunny August kicks off with the sun continuing its journey through Leo and your home and family sector and a full moon in Aquarius and your sector of goals and ambitions, so you might be ready to make something public.
This potent lunar phase on August 1 encourages you to look at your work/life balance and think about how you can improve matters. You might want to celebrate completing a project or reaching a key milestone. And if you’re active on social media, you could gain more followers at this time.
Home and family affairs remain important all month, especially with lovely Venus continuing her rewind phase in Leo until September 3. The sun’s presence in this sign gives you the perfect opportunity to get organized, perhaps redecorate, and get your place shipshape. If you have too much clutter, selling or donating items you no longer need or want could bring greater peace and harmony into your life.
The new moon in Leo angles toward electric Uranus in your sign on the sixteenth. If you’re thinking of buying or selling property or moving, don’t be in too much of a rush. Take things step by step for good results or you could lose out.
The sun glides into Virgo and your leisure zone on August 23, which means the coming four weeks are perfect for honing a skill, enjoying hobbies, and perhaps learning something new. Talkative Mercury turns retrograde on that day and remains so for around three weeks, so you might experience some delays or misunderstandings during this time. Your plans could take an unexpected turn.
The focus shifts as go-getter Mars moves into Libra and your lifestyle sector on the twenty-seventh and remains here for around six weeks. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed or burned out, the cosmos encourages you to get back into balance.
Finally, there is a second full moon this month, this one in the sign of Pisces on August 30. Use this opportunity to unwind, simplify your days, and enjoy some pampering and self-care.
