Taurus August 2026

Because profitable Jupiter is in your fourth house of home until July 26, 2027, (from June 30) you have the opportunity to make serious money from your home / property over the whole next year. Whether it’s renting out a property for Airbnb or selling your house, or creating a profitable workspace in your home, you can seriously make a lot of money. This opportunity only comes once every twelve years and is to be seized. I would not hesitate, dear Taurus.

And with the full Aquarius Moon coming up in your tenth career house July 29, you also need to be ready for your close up. This has 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 public matter will be resolved.

From the most public to the most personal. Almost simultaneously, July’s end brings a blow up with a royal personality in your fourth house of home, property and family. With an early family member such as a parent or sibling — or a neighbor. You’re in the right, so let yourself cry it out, use your words, and all’s well that ends well. With Uranus in your second house of self-worth and finances, 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. Family member or neighbor.

Implementing lifestyle changes this August are crucial chez Taurus. And long overdue, they bring joy. You have some extraordinary luck protecting you, you’ll see things just naturally falling into place, with Jupiter beaming good luck into the area of your property.

For in your most personal fourth house, you have:

Awesome, life-giving Sun

Lotto lucky Jupiter

Brilliant thought and word planet Mercury after August 9

A total solar eclipse new Leo Moon on August 12

And your fourth house, traditionally ruled by security-craving Cancer, covers these areas of your life:

Home

Property

Real estate

Your garden

Original family

Early roots

Childhood

Endings and beginnings

Genetics

Abilities and traits passed down to you, mostly from your father

Your nurturing others emotionally

Your opinion of yourself separate from work

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 better place. For the asteroid Chiron, the wounded healer, is in your sign and your first house, going retrograde August 3. The first house is you in the external world: how you’re perceived, the impression you make on others. No more the wounded one, the victim, you.

Those around you, in close proximity, a neighbor or an old friend who is like a sibling – may be acting strangely. Irrationally, unfairly. But really, they are showing you their truth. Remember what writer Maya Angelou, who has her Chiron (the wounded healer) in your sign of Taurus says: When people show you who they are, believe them.

Chiron can only heal by dying. Remember the myth?

Chiron gets shot in the thigh by Hercules (it’s an accident) and he begs the gods to put him out of his misery. But because Chiron is immortal, his fate is to suffer for eternity. When the gods let him die, let him cease being immortal, the wound that can never heal – heals.

Similarly, with you and this situation.

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 give yourself your freedom.

That’s what you get when you do the work on your wound.

You’re actually more in control than ever before. Even if things do not go your way. You’re carving your own path, and a lot of responsibility rests on your shoulders.

So let go what needs to be let go. It’s hard for you to leave the past behind. It will be an effort. But you succeed.

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.

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.

Time to call a truce to the doubting and worrying generally, dear Taurus. Three retrogrades in your twelfth house of the unconscious: Saturn, Neptune, and Pallas. The voices have been pretty loud – in relationships, too, particularly concerning your security in relationships – I hear them even as I type.

With loved ones, you want to know there is a future and that you can plan on it. Chiron, the wound that never heals, is ready to heal.

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 change. And you’re ready to take the leap. The water’s fine. Come on in, Taurus.

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.
