Overview for this Month: Taurus (All)
August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus:
You might dedicate a lot of your energy to improving your home and family life this month, dear Taurus. You seek more familiarity, comfort, quiet, and private time in the first three weeks of August. At the same time, a theme of entertainment, fun, leisure, and expression is strong and building in August.
Especially after the New Moon on the 8th, it can be a time to begin long-term career projects that sustain you and yours for many years to come. Bringing peace, harmony, and beauty to your home environment can figure strongly. You're interested in your security now and down the road.
Mars works in harmony with your sign all month, bringing energy and animation to your romantic world, recreational activities, and creative impulses. You are especially forward-looking, enterprising, and enthusiastic. This transit has a way of exciting your creative and romantic inspirations, and when the Sun enters your solar fifth house on the 22nd, this theme bumps up a notch. You can be especially attracted to people who seem sure of their lives at this time. Friendly competition drives you to do bigger and better things.
You could find that you're making quick and sharp decisions, particularly concerning love relationships, entertainment, pleasure, dating, creativity, and children. You're opening up to new interests, channels for expression, and different feelings or joys. Creative enthusiasm is with you, and you can be particularly focused on what you can update and upgrade. It can be a time for feeling especially vital and confident. You need your space, and you are protective of your independence, but you are friendly, motivated, and connected. Others admire you for your unique style and perspective.
Venus is in the same area of your solar chart until the 16th, boosting your graciousness, power of attraction, urge to interact, and considerable charm. You tend to follow your heart’s desire. You might discover what you love in your hobbies and pastimes or connect with someone through these things. It’s one of the better periods of the year for personal magnetism, romance, and creative expression.
From the 16th, you often focus on bringing harmony to your daily life, including your working environment. There may be social opportunities arising through your work, daily routines, or pursuit of good health. Strong energy for consulting, negotiating, and partnering is with you, particularly in connection with your work or health goals. Newfound or increased joy in your work can improve your mood and bolster your health. You may have fantastic ideas for improving your daily environment. For some, good connections with the right health care expert are more likely.
Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 19th. While Uranus was direct and in your sign in recent months, confidence in your pursuit of new experiences and expression of your independence has been evident. However, with Uranus now retrograde until January, more is going on inside you than on the surface. It's best to use this time to get in touch with what is driving you, particularly if you’ve felt restless or on edge. Examine which fears or attitudes have limited your independence and personal truth. Plans may be put on hold, or they slow down, whether this is due to circumstances or because you are no longer as anxious to make changes or take personal risks during this cycle.
The Full Moon on the 22nd can bring a turning point to a career or life path matter. A career or reputation matter can emerge now, and it may have already been in the works. In fact, a Full Moon only just occurred in this same sector in July, but feelings then were new and perhaps a little raw. Now, your epiphanies are mature, significant, and more rounded, and you’ll get a stronger sense of what your next steps might be.
From the 22nd, confidence builds, and you are more willing to share yourself and your ideas with the Sun moving in harmony with your sign. It’s a strong time for making significant emotional and creative changes that contribute to a sense of personal empowerment.

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:
August 2021 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 22nd:
The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar fourth house. This is a period of recharge, of getting in touch with your innermost feelings, of connecting with your roots, and of spending more time and energy on home and family. Home and family matters capture your attention and are a strong source of pride now. It's a time when worldly matters are not as important to you.
Use this energy to find ways to improve your family relations and your home environment. During this heart-warming cycle, you would do best to allow yourself to explore your inner needs so that you can nurture yourself and others in a healthy, growth-oriented manner, in preparation for more outgoing times to come.
From August 23rd forward:
The Sun illuminates your solar fifth house now. After a period of "nesting", you are coming out of your shell, ready to perform and to express yourself creatively. This is a very playful period of the year, when you are inspired creatively and emotionally. After a period of self-protectiveness, you are now more spontaneous and more willing to take risks. You take more pride than usual in your creations, your love affairs, your children, and your hobbies. Pleasure and amusement play an important role in your search for freedom of self-expression now. Show off your best colors!
You want others to take notice, and you are more sensitive to whether people appreciate you. More than any time of the year, this is the cycle in which you focus on having fun, enjoying romance, and expressing yourself creatively. Your hobbies, leisure time, moments spent with children, gaming time, and so forth, all come into focus at this time of year.
This is a cycle in which you find joy in expressing who you are--when your "inner child" comes out to play. This is a time when you are more flirtatious than usual, and when you might take a few risks in life--not only gambling with games but with life itself. You might be a bit of a showman at this time. You are likely feeling good in general, and you tend to spread the joy.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until August 15th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fifth house. Your popularity is on an upward trend during this cycle as others find you especially attractive and friendly. You may have the desire to dress well and in good taste. There is strength in your feelings of love and the power of attraction, which may open the door to new romantic relationships. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Conditions are highlighted in connection with young people, and quite possibly a female child--a stronger bond could be formed during this period. You are feeling inspired creatively and romantically and you express your loving feelings quite openly now. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. You will also thoroughly enjoy artistic, musical, or cultural events and activities, especially in the company of a loved one. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
From August 16th forward:
Venus graces your solar sixth house now. Establishing a happy and harmonious work environment through friendly relations with co-workers or tidying up your work area comes into focus now. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment. You are generally well liked and respected socially on the job right now. Some laziness is possible now, as you tend to associate pleasure with work! Perhaps you are socializing more than usual on the job. You have good team spirit during this cycle, and you are more tactful and obliging with your co-workers. You are less inclined to fall in love for the sake of love itself during this cycle. Your tendency is to consider whether it is clever to do so! You're most successful doing tasks that involve cooperation and team harmony. You could find that your talents or skills are especially appreciated. Romantic and social activities may revolve around your working environment.
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until August 11th:
Mercury continues to transit your solar fourth house. Your thoughts tend to revolve around personal matters, especially family, home, and domestic issues. You enjoy, more than usual, discussions and stories about the past and about family.
You are more rational and objective when it comes to your relationships with those close to you, so it is, in fact, a good time to open up discussions with family. There can be increased activities in and around the home during this cycle. You are not as interested in worldly matters and career as you are in your personal life for the time being.
From August 11-29:
Mercury transits your solar fifth house. During this cycle, there is a powerful mental connection with your creative self-expression. You are proud of your ideas, and very good at expressing them to others smoothly now. Your thinking is more creative than usual. You tend to entertain others with your conversation; and your sense of humor (and of mischief!) is especially strong.
Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation. Therefore, your friends and romantic partner are best appreciated now if they are intellectual types. You're more willing to take risks on a mental level now, so take advantage of the increased spontaneity and creativity that comes with this position.
From August 30th forward:
Mercury transits your solar sixth house. This is a good placement for Mercury, as it is the natural ruler of the sixth house. It's an excellent period for sorting out the details of your daily existence. You are inclined to make to-do lists, pay bills and sort out clutter, and to do detail work on the job. Health matters are most certainly on your brain as well, and you could be thinking of scheduling check-ups or busy researching ways to improve your health. You may also show a keener interest in improving your basic skills.
Your approach to work during this cycle is pleasant, happy, and logical for the most part, unless you allow worry or scattered energy to enter the picture. You are inclined to want to learn new work skills, or to improve your skills and output in terms of work. There is likely to be more activity, movement, contact, and communications with co-workers now.
You tend to take more interest in organizing your working environment--and this is an excellent time to do so, as you are especially objective and intelligent when it comes to getting a handle on your daily affairs and all of the "little things" that contribute to a feeling of efficiency and competency. Menial tasks become more prominent. Watch, however, for tension or idle chit-chat interfering with your work output during this cycle.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar fifth house. This brings increased energy and enthusiasm to romance, child-rearing, and creative or recreational endeavors. It can also bring some strife to these areas of your world in some cases. For the most part, however, a romance could pick up pace, you are self-motivated and inspired on creative and expressive levels, and your self-confidence is well-received by others during this cycle. You are more willing to take little risks and you are competitive in a mostly friendly way. In your enthusiasm to take the lead, try to be sensitive to and respectful of others' needs.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) and Taurus Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:
August 2021 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
All month:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
From August 1-17:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration.

You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.
Your mind often wanders to domestic concerns, and issues surrounding your home, family, and personal past. On the other hand, this transit sometimes indicates an especially busy, and perhaps hectic, period on the domestic scene.

More energy and enthusiasm is brought to your home life, but there can also be a tendency to stir up trouble if you are not careful to channel any excess energy into constructive and productive pursuits around the home. You desire to take the lead, but you should do so in a respectful way so as not to get anyone's goat.
From August 15th:
Mars animates and energizes your solar fifth house. This is a very self-expressive time when you have lots of energy, but not necessarily self-discipline to match. You have more energy at your disposal to express yourself creatively, through activities with children, romantic activities, hobbies, or sports. Your love life may step up a notch, and this could be an especially passionate time. You tend to put more energy into play and pleasure! Be careful not to burn the candle at both ends. Also, watch out for a tendency to want to gamble. You are more playful than usual, and especially magnetic. You have a likeably competitive, more energetic, and pleasingly assertive temperament during this transit. However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.

Taurus (Born May 11 to 21) AND Taurus Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Taurus:
August 2021 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2021
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 12th:
The Sun continues to highlight your solar third house--a time of the year in which you are most likely to be a "busy bee". Communications, short trips, errand-running, and general busy-ness feature now. You could have a finger in many pies, so to speak, as your curiosity is piqued by a larger variety of things than usual. Used well, this could be a period in which you come up with solutions to a number of problems. You are more inclined to take pride in your intellectual accomplishments and/or your ability to socialize and make connections.
From August 12th forward:
With the Sun spotlighting your house of family and home, these areas are your instinctive focus during this period. Your family, home, property concerns, roots, and heritage come into focus and become a source of pride. You are likely quite preoccupied with feelings of security and your inner experiences. This is a time when you send down roots and seek a feeling of belonging. You could be thrust into a position of leadership on the home front.
Ego confrontations with family members are possible now, but the best way to handle this energy is to do your best to strengthen your relationship with your family and your home base. This is a time to do what you can to build trust in your family life and a strong foundation within yourself so that regardless of what you meet in the outside world over the next months, you have a secure place to return to. Besides spending more time tending to domestic affairs, the focus can be on cultivating and nourishing the inner foundations that support you and your growth. This is a time to collect yourself--to fill your well, so to speak.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort
Until August 7th:
Venus continues to transit your solar fourth house now. Domestic relationships and the home environment tend to be especially harmonious and peaceful during this cycle. You may have a desire to decorate your home with better quality items or more attention to aesthetics. An inner sense of peace and security tends to dominate now, or the desire for peace motivates you now. Your affections are strong but you don't wear your heart on your sleeve just now, preferring quiet moments with loved ones.
From August 7th forward:
Venus warms your solar fifth house. This is an expressive period for the goddess of love! It's natural for you to turn on the charm without even lifting a finger. You are especially attracted to aesthetic forms of recreation. You feel a little more playful now, and love matters tend to be laced with a touch of drama. That shouldn't be a problem--in fact, you kind of like it that way for the time being. More loving and appreciative relationships with your children may also figure now. Your powers of attraction skyrocket during this cycle. Yet, you are not aggressive in your approach to love. Instead, you attract more if you allow yourself to be pursued during this cycle. Creative self-expression of any kind is favored at this time. At this time, you instinctively know how to place yourself in the best light in order to make a good impression on others. Any love affair begun now will be characterized by good cheer, having fun, and a fair share of emotional drama!
Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation
Until August 6th:
Mercury continues to move through your solar third house. Mercury feels right at home in the third house. Your mind is especially inquisitive during this cycle, when learning, short trips, and other forms of communication and making connections, appeal strongly. Some are fidgety or nervous during this cycle, perhaps due to increased errand-running, phone calls, or information overload. Others enjoy the challenge of tackling a variety of subjects.
As well, talking, writing, and studying can be good ways to handle stress. It's a great time to pick up information from your environment and the people in it. Your mind is often distracted, particularly when required to stick to routine, so this is not the best transit for focusing on one task or project. You might spend a lot of time in your car making short frequent trips, running errands, communicating with siblings and neighbors, and visiting friends and relatives.
From August 6-23 forward:
Mercury moves through your solar fourth house. This is a time during which you can enjoy increased powers of concentration. You may require solitude in order to get mental work done during this cycle. Your memory is more retentive than usual, and your thoughts often turn to personal matters, family, and loved ones. You might particularly enjoy discussions about your early life, the past, or family matters during this cycle. In fact, it's a great time to open up conversations with loved ones, as you are more rational when it comes to personal matters now.

Your thoughts turn to children, pleasures, or romance during this expressive cycle. You might enjoy researching speculative ventures now. You especially enjoy games that involve competing with others on a mental level. You have a stronger need than usual for intellectual stimulation.

However, in some cases, you may be coming on too strong or aggressively, or meeting with aggressiveness in romantic relationships.
Overview Horoscope:
August 2021 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus:
You might dedicate a lot of your energy to improving your home and family life this month, dear Taurus. You seek more familiarity, comfort, quiet, and private time in the first three weeks of August. At the same time, a theme of entertainment, fun, leisure, and expression is strong and building in August.
Especially after the New Moon on the 8th, it can be a time to begin long-term career projects that sustain you and yours for many years to come. Bringing peace, harmony, and beauty to your home environment can figure strongly. You're interested in your security now and down the road.
Mars works in harmony with your sign all month, bringing energy and animation to your romantic world, recreational activities, and creative impulses. You are especially forward-looking, enterprising, and enthusiastic. This transit has a way of exciting your creative and romantic inspirations, and when the Sun enters your solar fifth house on the 22nd, this theme bumps up a notch. You can be especially attracted to people who seem sure of their lives at this time. Friendly competition drives you to do bigger and better things.
You could find that you're making quick and sharp decisions, particularly concerning love relationships, entertainment, pleasure, dating, creativity, and children. You're opening up to new interests, channels for expression, and different feelings or joys. Creative enthusiasm is with you, and you can be particularly focused on what you can update and upgrade. It can be a time for feeling especially vital and confident. You need your space, and you are protective of your independence, but you are friendly, motivated, and connected. Others admire you for your unique style and perspective.
Venus is in the same area of your solar chart until the 16th, boosting your graciousness, power of attraction, urge to interact, and considerable charm. You tend to follow your heart’s desire. You might discover what you love in your hobbies and pastimes or connect with someone through these things. It’s one of the better periods of the year for personal magnetism, romance, and creative expression.
From the 16th, you often focus on bringing harmony to your daily life, including your working environment. There may be social opportunities arising through your work, daily routines, or pursuit of good health. Strong energy for consulting, negotiating, and partnering is with you, particularly in connection with your work or health goals. Newfound or increased joy in your work can improve your mood and bolster your health. You may have fantastic ideas for improving your daily environment. For some, good connections with the right health care expert are more likely.
Uranus begins its yearly five-month retrograde cycle on the 19th. While Uranus was direct and in your sign in recent months, confidence in your pursuit of new experiences and expression of your independence has been evident. However, with Uranus now retrograde until January, more is going on inside you than on the surface. It's best to use this time to get in touch with what is driving you, particularly if you’ve felt restless or on edge. Examine which fears or attitudes have limited your independence and personal truth. Plans may be put on hold, or they slow down, whether this is due to circumstances or because you are no longer as anxious to make changes or take personal risks during this cycle.
The Full Moon on the 22nd can bring a turning point to a career or life path matter. A career or reputation matter can emerge now, and it may have already been in the works. In fact, a Full Moon only just occurred in this same sector in July, but feelings then were new and perhaps a little raw. Now, your epiphanies are mature, significant, and more rounded, and you’ll get a stronger sense of what your next steps might be.
From the 22nd, confidence builds, and you are more willing to share yourself and your ideas with the Sun moving in harmony with your sign. It’s a strong time for making significant emotional and creative changes that contribute to a sense of personal empowerment.

About Our Monthly Horoscopes:
Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from the previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July’s horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don’t change because the calendar month changes.
These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.
The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decans, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts and large in other parts! For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
Learn all about the signs of the zodiac. We offer interpretations of the Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, and the Ascendant in the signs:
Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces
