Overview for this Month: Taurus (All)
August 2024 Monthly Horoscope Overview for Taurus:
August promises to be a month of joy and domestic focus for you, dear Taurus. Embracing your home life can bring you much happiness, although some situations may call for flexibility and a backup plan. This is a time to repair relationships or grow closer to someone, and to bring more harmony and calm to your personal affairs. The upcoming period is also ripe for romantic and creative pursuits, adding an extra layer of excitement to the month.
The New Moon on the 4th can usher in new beginnings for long-term projects or family and home-related affairs. There can be the need or desire to put your personal life first now, and changes may be afoot. You're in an excellent position to start fresh and take charge.
Turning to the past in your love life is likely, as new relationships don't seem to be moving forward very quickly. Reassessing past evaluations of people may figure strongly as Mercury begins its retrograde cycle in your sector of joy, creativity, and romance on the 5th.
While Mercury's retrograde begins in your romance and creativity sector, it retreats into your home and family house on the 14th. There may be repairs to attend to around the home, or you could be reviving or reworking old projects. While you shouldn't get stuck in the past, review is incredibly appropriate and beneficial.
Consider that Mercury retrograde periods are fertile for review and reflection. And, on the 18th, a new perspective on the past benefits you. However, the beginning and end dates (Mercury is retrograde from the 5th to the 28th) can be disorienting for information sharing and processing. It may be best to reserve judgment around those dates.
You gravitate to earthy and comforting activities that help you heal and cleanse again this month as Mars continues its transit of your resources sector. You put in the effort to make more money or enjoy more security and comfort. You want to build upon and improve your current circumstances. Benefits can come from hidden or unexpected places or from resources you never knew you had. Efforts you make now can open the doorway to an increase in income down the road. This transit might instead increase your courage or desire to take a few risks in your business or with finances. While you should certainly be careful with spending impulsively, this can be a good time in general to see your ability to earn or your talents more confidently.
Career matters can demand your attention around the 19th. A Full Moon reminds you of your obligations to the outside world and pushes the need to attend to business, career, or public matters. You get the message that it's time to restore some balance between your personal and professional lives.
Also surfacing around this time is a Jupiter-Saturn square. With this transit, the desire to nest, get comfortable, and enjoy more steadiness in your life can clash with responsibilities to friends or groups. Consider whether you're overdoing your commitment to nesting or indulging your desire for comfort too much for your own good.
Your ruling planet, Venus, spends much of August (from the 4th to the 29th) in your sector of joy, and the Sun moves into this area of your solar chart from the 22nd onward. This is a time for increased friendly and loving attention, invitations, and compliments. It's fabulous for exploring your creative side and channels for expressing and enjoying yourself. More often, you're prioritizing fun and pleasurable activities in your life. People are more receptive and cooperative with you.
You feel good from the inside out, and this radiates outward–you attract favorable circumstances. Hobbies and leisure pursuits can be in strong, pleasant focus. Your magnetism and sense of fun are strong. You not only share your affection more freely, but you also receive love and compliments more confidently.

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:
August 2024 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2024
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 22nd 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 4th:
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 4th to 29th:
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!
From August 29th 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
Mercury is retrograde from August 5th to 28th:
All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar fourth and fifth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, romance, children, and creativity. Be as non- judgmental as you can with family members. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time. Re-thinking your romantic relationships or creative projects is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. There may also be the need to revisit old, nagging issues with family members, or there could be some communication problems with them. Family members may be on edge. Try to hold off on household repairs if you can. Put off decision-making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with friends, groups, intimate partners, family members, romantic partners, and children, or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
All month:
Mars continues to energize your solar second house. You tend to put more effort into making money or making your life more comfortable and secure during this cycle. Your strong desire to be financially independent could lead to positive things, such as paying off debts or increased enterprise. The opposite side of the coin is asserting your independence by making impulsive purchases or taking risks with your money. You are more protective of the way you earn or spend money, as well as with the values you live your life by, and if others question you about these things, there could be arguments.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) and Taurus Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:
August 2024 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
August 2024
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.
Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort, Pleasure
Until August 12th:
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 judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle.
Occurring in your solar fourth house this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to family relations, real estate matters, and domestic issues. Be as non-judgmental as you can with family members. It may be challenging to keep a healthy perspective regarding deeply personal matters and family. Family members may be on edge, or appear to be. Home repairs may not turn out as expected. Try to put off major decision- making with regards to home improvement, moving, and family matters for the time being. New initiatives surrounding home and property are best left for a better time, but reworking and reorganizing your home can be especially fruitful now.
Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage
Until the 4th:
Mars continues to activate your solar first house, supplying you with added energy to apply towards personal goals, and a more assertive and direct approach to the world in general.
This is an excellent period for physical training and exercise of any kind. The desire to be self-sufficient and independent is especially strong now. You are far less tolerant of being restricted by or dependent on others, and this is a good time to identify your personal strengths and take positive action to rectify situations that may have previously felt frustrating or repressive.
You might be especially attracted to personal challenges, and seeing just how far you can push. However, be careful not to push yourself (and others) too far.
From August 4th forward:
Mars energizes your solar second house. You have more energy at your disposal to make money, but also to defend your values. This can be a very resourceful time, when you make the most of what you have. You have much energy for new money-making projects, or for stepping up existing ones.
You may be over-identifying with what you have and own, and you could be trying to prove yourself (your worth) to others using money and possessions as the means to do so. If conflicts occur during this transit, they are likely to be over issues of ownership. This is a time when impulse buying is at a peak. You probably should avoid using credit right now, simply because your spending habits may be excessive and impulsive.

August 2024
The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness
Until August 11th:
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.

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
