The Week Ahead for Taurus
Monday, August 17th – Sunday, August 23rd
Gossip is gossip. Nothing more, nothing less. So, avoid buying into rumours. Whenever Neptune is in play, lies and innuendo proliferate and you need to be even more sure of your facts and figures. Fortunately, Saturn is also in the mix, so you shouldn’t have to wait too long before you know what is real and what is baloney. We are in that delicate period between eclipses, so red lights of any description cannot be ignored. Even so, you’ll need to be absolutely certain of the details before you make two and two add up to five.
Facts talk.

Monday, August 10th – Sunday, August 16th
A total solar eclipse is no mean event. Eclipses inspire life-defining moments. And this is no ordinary eclipse. It forms against a background of other significant alignments, which can manifest in wonderful ways as well as challenging ones. The steps you are taking at this time will change your life in ways you cannot presently see and developments that come out of the blue serve the same purpose. While this astroscape will work differently for all Taureans, the way to view events is that there is a bigger picture and the less judgemental you can be, the better.
There is a bigger picture.

The Month Ahead for Taurus
August 2026
You could be on the move. Lots of travel for some, a permanent change of location for a few, and for all, movement in situations that have been stuck forever. All change is good, as they say, but the way it comes in may not be appreciated at the time! Jupiter is encouraging growth at the very roots of life: additions to the family aside, financial gifts or improvements in income could inspire upwardly-mobile moves. Don’t expect everything to work out as planned, especially on or near the 12th and 28th – the cosmos moves in mysterious ways to take you where you’re meant to go.

The Year Ahead for Taurus
This is the second year running that the astrology is like nothing we’ve seen before, which means you have to be flexible and philosophical about what comes or goes. For many, it’s a year when family comes first and for others it’s about expanding your territory, whether in the sense of spreading your influence or a bigger and better home and more people with whom to share it! There could be a lot of travel, especially in the first six months, and some of you will embark on a course to increase your knowledge or add to your bank of skills.
