Taurus: Forecast for August 2001

(NOTE: if you know your rising sign, read that sign too, for a balanced forecast. Go to Forecasts)

Improve Your Home Environment

The Sun moves through the lowest point of your horoscope, placing the focus below the surface of your life. This is a good time to spend with your family and on improving your home environment. If you have been overworked lately, you might consider a vacation in which you simply stay home and relax! The Full Moon on August 4th could bring unexpected events and surprises, including accidents. Keep a cool head to avoid making any foolish mistakes while under pressure. After August 23rd, the Sun lights up your fifth house of romance and pleasure. You can look forward to days romping with your children and nights spent under the stars with your beloved at the end of the month.

Creative Opportunities

Swiftly moving Mercury begins the month in your fourth house of home and family, helping you to build bridges of communication between family members.

You may need to speak up during the Full Moon on August 4th, when differences of opinion threaten domestic bliss. Use caution during the weekend of the 11th, when unpredictable Uranus could upset your plans. On August 14th, the winged messenger zips into your fifth house of creativity, bringing you plenty of ideas for romance and pleasure. Artists, writers, and musicians among you will appreciate being visited by such a clever muse!

Analyse and Express

Venus graces your third house of communications. You should know just what to say and how to say it as you are blessed with a silver tongue and golden pen this month. If you need to mend fences between neighbours or bring peace between siblings, now is the time to do it. August 5th is a wonderful day for social gatherings as jolly Jupiter is encouraged to share the bounty; why not have a barbecue or clam bake? At month's end, the planet of love slips into your fourth house of home and family, reminding you that home is truly where the heart is.

Power Drive

Mars gives your eighth house of sex, money, and power a boost of nuclear energy all month long. Your sex drive is likely to be sky high, but so is your temper. It may be tempting to combine sex and violence, but it is detrimental to your intimate relationships. Don't fight when you would rather be making love. However, if you want to role-play and incorporate submission/domination fantasies into your sex life with a committed partner, this is the month to do so. Corporate business matters could also be taking up a great deal of your time, especially around the 14th and the 27th. You may need to go to the gym after work each day to work off the tension.

DAILY FORECASTS

Aug 1: News

News from a distance may reach your ears as the Moon triggers expansive Jupiter in your third house of communication; in fact, some of you may have a vision of someone far away. Allow the process of creative visualization to widen your horizons... often it is by dreaming and imagining that we make things happen. Be more open to different ideas and philosophies. Fortunate colours are khaki and olive green. Lucky numbers are 9 and 27.

Aug 2: Experiment

This is a good time to experiment with different ideas, customs, and cultures... at the very least, try something new for lunch or dinner! When you can open your heart and mind to the possibilities that different cultures have to offer, you can grow spiritually and be more effective materially. Let one of your co-workers turn you on to a different view of the world. Favourable colours are maroon and tan. Lucky numbers are 18 and 36.

Aug 3: Crunch

You might feel a last minute crunch as the Moon enters your tenth house of career and reputation; be sure to tie up loose ends before leaving work today. With Neptune and Uranus transiting your tenth house for some time to come, you will need to be very clear about your position, what is expected from you, and what you expect from others. Beneficial colours are basic black and emerald green. Lucky numbers are 17 and 26.

Aug 4: Full Moon

Today's Full Moon may bring some frustration into your life; it seems that your family and your career are demanding all of your time. Whatever surfaces now is likely to pop back up again mid-month, so make an effort to find a solution now. Ask your family members for patience and support as you try to balance your responsibilities. Auspicious colours are pearl grey and celadon green. Lucky numbers are 2 and 11.

Aug 5: Pressure

The pressure is on as the Moon completes her journey through your tenth house; take a few deep breaths and plan to relax with friends this evening. You may have to rethink your priorities as it seems harder and harder to keep a balance between work and family life; finding time for your own personal needs is almost impossible. Fortunate colours are garnet red and heather grey. Lucky numbers are 15 and 28.

Aug 6: Lift Your Spirits

Spending time with your pals is likely to lift your spirits as the Moon encourages camaraderie in your eleventh house of friends and associates. Sharing your joys and your troubles with compassionate companions is just what the doctor ordered today. Love may even be blossoming among those whom you work closely with. Flirting is sublime. Beneficial colours are silver and electric blue. Lucky numbers are 16 and 25.

Aug 7: Spirit Of Compassion

Sharing experiences and trading anecdotes will benefit you and your associates today; you can learn vicariously and painlessly this way. A spirit of compassion prevails, so reach out to those who are less fortunate. You can give someone the benefit of the doubt without being a pushover. You can lend a hand and expect your friends to stand on their own two feet at the same time. Advantageous colours are sapphire blue and hot pink. Lucky numbers are 19 and 20.

Aug 8: Beauty Rest

You might find yourself getting sleepy as the Moon moves into your twelfth house of subconscious matters. It is time to slow down and recharge your physical and spiritual batteries, so don't push yourself. This is not a good night to stay out until 3AM... plan a quiet evening and an early bedtime instead. You need your beauty sleep. Favourable colours are lavender and sea green. Lucky numbers are 12 and 30.

Aug 9: Strategy

It's best to spend the day trying to recuperate from the stress of the past few weeks; with your lunar low cycle in full swing, you should try to relax as much as possible. Review the events of the past month for a better idea of where you are going; you can plan a better strategy for your future this way. Dreams you have tonight may be revealing, so keep pencil and paper nearby for recording strong images. Fortunate colours are coral pink and ocean blue. Lucky numbers are 21 and 33.

Aug 10: Slow And Steady

Keep your pace slow and steady as the Moon completes her journey through your twelfth house of hidden matters; you should get a burst of energy later this evening when the Moon enters your first house of personality. If you time things right, you can get a lot accomplished and then go out for some weekend fun after the Sun goes down. Beneficial colours are silver and violet. Lucky numbers are 30 and 37.

Aug 11: Attractive

With the Moon travelling through your first house of personality, your unique qualities are front and centre. Luna adds a special glow to the sensuous Bull, making you even more attractive than ever. Supermodel and the Face of France Letitia Casta exemplifies what makes Taurus such an inviting sign; the good life seems to drip from your fingertips. Advantageous colours are cherry red and snow white. Lucky numbers are 1 and 10.

Aug 12: Stubborn

You may be feeling especially stubborn and ornery as the Moon clashes with revolutionary Uranus today; just remember that you too must adapt to a changing environment if you want to survive! Be open to new technologies at work and be patient with those who do not see your point of view. If you are pushing for change in the office, rest assured it will come! Auspicious colours are butter yellow and hibiscus red. Lucky numbers are 11 and 13.

Aug 13: Lemonade

Your personal finances come into focus with the Moon in Gemini and your second house of money... your fiscal flexibility saves the day again. As one of the most resourceful signs in the zodiac, you can truly make lemonade out of the lemons life sends your way. Ignore rumours in the workplace and trust that, one way or another, you'll be just fine. Auspicious colours are money green and sterling silver. Lucky numbers are 20 and 32.

Aug 14: Midas Touch

You'll know exactly what to do to make money today; those of you involved in trading could find this is a banner day. Of course, sudden reversals are also possible, but any Taurus involved in the stock market should know that by now. The point is that you have the Midas Touch in work and in business during this time frame. Capitalize on your good fortune. Fortunate colours are sage green and desert sand. Lucky numbers are 29 and 38.

Aug 15: Sweet Words

Tell an important person in your life how much they mean to you today; sweet words spoken now will get you a lot of mileage. Now that the expressive Moon is in your third house of communication, it should be easier to talk about the way you feel. Even discussing your frustrations will be easier, so don't be afraid to ask for help or for advice. If there is no one to talk to, write a love letter to the Universe... it really is good to be alive! Favourable colours are butterscotch and grey blue. Lucky numbers are 14 and 23.

Aug 16: Community Minded

With the Moon glowing warmly in your third house of community, this is a good day to be neighbourly. Is there someone who could use a home cooked meal or a hand in the yard? We often have people in need right in our own neighbourhoods and we don't even know it. Spending time with siblings can also be quite satisfying under this transit. Advantageous colours are peacock blue and pale yellow. Lucky numbers are 5 and 41.

Aug 17: Take A Break

Pressure begins to build as the outside world makes demands that take you away from your precious inner sanctuary; some of you will prefer staying home and avoiding social events today. Tomorrow may be unbearable for some of you, so take a break right now. Do what you want to do, when you want to do it as much as possible today. Sometimes it is necessary to be selfish. Auspicious colours are sea green and oyster. Lucky numbers are 29 and 42.

Aug 18: Tension

You may feel torn as erratic Uranus and the irrational Moon play tug-of- war today. You can expect tension in both your personal and public lives, so try to stay calm and centred. There is no way you can please everyone, so take a time out and review your options. With any luck, your mate or partner will understand the pressure you are under and help you out in any way possible. Beneficial colours are pearl white and ocean blue. Lucky numbers are 24 and 48.

Aug 19: Pleasure

Indulge yourself as the changing Moon enters your fifth house of pleasure today; it is time to let your hair down and relax. This is a great day for a picnic if the weather is willing... be sure to pack all your favorite goodies for the feast. If you can't get out, bring fresh flowers and the sounds of nature inside! Setting up an indoor table fountain could be just the thing to set the mood. Favourable colours are periwinkle and aqua. Lucky numbers are 6 and 10.

Aug 20: Simple Things

It should be easier for you to enjoy moments of pleasure today; Bulls have been working far too hard lately. It's hard not to be a workhorse when the powerful energy of Pluto is electrifying your eighth house of power and money, but you need to enjoy the simple things in life from time to time. Play with your children or watch your favorite comedy tonight. Let the giggles take over for a while. Advantageous colours are pale gold and lavender. Lucky numbers are 19 and 28.

Aug 21: Return To Duty

You may enjoy a lighthearted morning, but by afternoon it will be time to return to duty. Once the changing Moon enters your sixth house of health and service, you'll need to remember to water your plants and walk the dog more often. Some of you may be bringing work home from the office as tasks seem to be piling up. Don't forget to pay attention to good health habits! Skip the cookies and milk tonight and have fresh fruit instead. Beneficial colours are peacock blue and sunny yellow. Lucky numbers are 14 and 24.

Aug 22: Can Do

You could enjoy unexpected benefits from your job or volunteer work as the Moon blends well with surprising Uranus. The more flexible you can be at work, the better... your can-do attitude will be rewarded. There is plenty of fun to be had this evening, but guard against becoming too excited or relaxed in the presence of your co-workers. Auspicious colours are spring green and blossom pink. Lucky numbers are 11 and 15.

Aug 23: Pluto Direct

Penetrating Pluto turns direct in your eighth house of sex, money and power today; you can expect breakthroughs and progress in these areas. If your sex life has been less than satisfying, you will have an opportunity to increase emotional intimacy with your partner. If you succeed in drawing nearer to your beloved, you'll begin to see passion rise. Auspicious colours are crimson and eggplant. Lucky numbers are 9 and 27.

Aug 24: Spontaneity

Whilst the Bull is not always known for spontaneity, it's time to take a cue from your Gemini pals... do something on the spur of the moment with your best friend or partner tonight! With the Moon in your seventh house of marriage and partnerships, you will want to spend time with your most significant other. A stressful day at work is likely, so go out tonight and blow off steam. Fortunate colours are carnation pink and powder blue. Lucky numbers are 7 and 16.

Aug 25: Money Talks

The changing Moon enters goal oriented Sagittarius and your eighth house of sex, money and power today. You'll be reminded in one way or another that money talks, but it is up to you whether or not to listen. Try to spend time with your most significant other, best friend, or partner today. He or she may have surprising insights for you. Advantageous colours are copper and wine red. Lucky numbers are 8 and 44.

Aug 26: Hidden Depths

Some of you may feel increased passion as the tender Moon joins forces with penetrating Pluto. Whatever you do is likely to come from a deep place in your heart as the Moon continues to move through your eighth house of sex, money, and power. Some of you may experience unsettling deja vu while your psychic houses are stimulated. Auspicious colours are jet black and maroon. Lucky numbers are 18 and 36.

Aug 27: The Heat Is On

The heat is turned up in your life as the Moon and Mars combine in your eighth house of sex, power and passion... some of you may be having romantic ideas that are lovely, but miles way from any possible reality. You'll need to channel this creative energy positively... this is a good time to write in your journal, practice on an instrument or improve on your favorite game. Beneficial colours are burgundy and gold. Lucky numbers are 31 and 32.

Aug 28: Something Different

And now for something completely different as the Moon wanders through your ninth house of change, stimulating your desire to travel and learn new things. As steadfast and dependable as the Bull can be, even you need a little variety from time to time. Make an effort to do at least one thing differently in your daily routine. Advantageous colours are mink brown and cinnabar. Lucky numbers are 3 and 30.

Aug 29: Journey

Today is perfect for a day trip, whether it is a literal journey or a journey of the mind. You'll benefit from a change of scenery, so don't spend the day indoors unless you are watching the Travel Channel. If you have friends or family at a distance, this is a good time to call or e- mail. Those of you with in-laws may actually enjoy their company now. Beneficial colours are khaki and olive green. Lucky numbers are 39 and 45.

Aug 30: Status

You may feel like all eyes are upon you as the Moon enters your tenth house of career and status; if you are making a public appearance, be sure to dress the part. Neptune adds to your natural air of mystery, while Jupiter helps you gain allies. Hold your head high so that people will know you are surviving, despite all the odds you must face! Favourable colours are tweed grey and pearl white. Lucky numbers are 40 and 44.

Aug 31: Keep Cool

You might be expected to be a superhero at work today, so be sure to eat foods that will give you the fuel you need. There may be some tension between your career and family life, but you'll just have to put out the fires one at a time. As the Moon moves closer to unpredictable Uranus, expect loony behaviour from those around you. Keep a cool head and you can save the day. Fortunate colours are basic black and garnet red. Lucky numbers are 8 and 10.
