July’s end brings a blow up, a 90 degree square off between Uranus in your sign and a royal personality in your fourth house of home and family. With Uranus now, you attract some crazy and startling vibes, like shots out of the blue. Ferdinand the Bull prefers peace and smelling the flowers, so walk away when you can. Those with a gripe need to be put in their place. Implementing lifestyle changes this August are crucial for calm chez Taurus. Long overdue, they bring joy.
And you thought it was all over. Take your own steps, in your own time, and by mid-August you’re ready to take more risks. There follows a time of peace in your life. Enjoy, and use the freedom to love yourself. Treat yourself and do what you like.
The confused puzzlement of loved ones has been crazy, yes.
August is a strange and transformational month for you. It is not even the barest shade of grey. It is pure blacks and pure whites.
Stark outlines of what you are, what you used to be, and what you can still be.
The Ghosts of Christmas Past and of Christmas Future come gently knocking at your door. Which part of you is demanding attention now?
Call on your brilliant instincts and understanding to relax now. Hold out a hand to one who asks for it. For some of you lucky ones, this brings a true soul mate (back) into your life.
There is a terrific line up in your fourth house. Your most personal house. In here you have: Life-saving Sun, brilliant Mercury, self-nurturing Ceres, a friendly new Leo Moon July 28 and on the same day, July 28, your natural ruler, planet of love and beauty Venus enters here also, spreading her blessings into your home and property like beautiful flower petals.
All positively affecting your early family, home (s), property, and work spaces. There will be extra offers on hand which you did not expect.
Security coming in these areas:
Your Home
Stability
Your early family
Endings and beginnings
Genetic gifts
Your sense of safety
Your garden / property
Your real estate
Your opinion of yourself outside work
Insecurity stops plaguing your house of friends and you are invited to come in everywhere!
You are being given the opportunity to shine in public again, and you want to look your best.
We are all waiting for you, you beautiful Bull…Applauding your (re) entrance.
Extra power and success is provided by a knockout Mars in your first house and in your sign. Mars is also very sexy, and heats up your strong personal charisma.
So you want to be ready for your close up. I can see how this has got your mind racing: is this for real? Can I trust that I will be heard and that my needs will be met? Is there a future? All YES. A professional matter will be resolved. The full Moon in your tenth career house Thursday, August 11 guarantees it.
You have sensed all the promise in your career – this is good change – but it is as if you have been waiting a while for it. Get ready.
Those around you, in close proximity, your siblings or an old friend who is like a sibling – may be acting strangely. But really, they are showing you their truth.
When you let a pain that feels like it’s been in there forever, go – it goes. When you stop feeling trapped by someone’s words and actions, you will give yourself your freedom.
All that your fourth house rules:
Home
Property
Real estate
Original family
Early roots
Childhood
Genetics
Abilities and traits passed down to you, mostly from your father
Your nurturing others emotionally
Your opinion of yourself separate from the business world
Gardening
Look at the wounded dreams you have in any of the above ruled by the fourth house. You need to let them go now. So you can get to an even greater place.
That’s what you get when you do the work on your wound.
So let that wound die in peace, and go on to the new beautiful place you may not even have imagined.
See it all, yourself as eternal traveler, the world as your playground.
See your current situation differently. And it will be.
Practically and materially it’s all GO ahead.
You are more in control than ever before. Even if things do not go your way! You are carving your own path, and a lot of responsibility rests on your shoulders.
So let go what needs to be let go. It is hard for you to leave the past behind. It will be an effort. But you will succeed.
The rest of August is a time for play and for making your day-to-day more enjoyable. Also for learning lessons concerning your work, and, to a lesser extent, travel.
Your ruling planet, planet of love and beauty, Venus, is awesomely aspected most of August and this gives you a golden glow as well as protects you. You will feel good.
You will be getting “out there”, making your presence known.
Work delays can stir you to irritation but thank goodness this frustration is over after August 19.
And a ceasing of the difficult changes and challenging transformations you face being torn between what you feel you should do and then what you want to do.
Only warning of August: mid-month, anxiety arises about shared resources. Money, property, leases, and the such. Don’t push and you will go much farther.
Time to call a truce to the doubting and worrying generally, dear Taurus. The voices have been pretty loud – in relationships, too, particularly concerning your security in relationships – I can hear them even as I type.
With loved ones, you want to know there is a future and that you can plan on it.
So let that wound die in peace, and go on to the new beautiful place you may not even have imagined. See it all differently. And it will be. Whatever you’ve been running from, you can finally stop to enjoy. Time to smell the flowers, like lovely Ferdinand the Bull.
Every moment this August is indeed a new moment. What did Heroclitus say? “You could not step twice into the same river, for the water is ever flowing.”
For the bull, who likes repetition, this is powerful – wonderful – change. You deserve more security, and this Thursday’s new Moon in your fourth house – Thursday, July 28 – gives you a beautiful taste of what is to come for you.

In the mute August afternoon
They trembled to some undertune
Of music in the silver air;
Great pleasure was it to be there
Till green turned duskier and the moon
Coloured the corn-sheaves like gold hair. – August by Algernon Charles Swinburne.
