Today, Tuesday, August 4
Today the Moon crosses Aries, your house of rest and the inner life. The Moon is at last quarter, so let go of what this month is done with, and do it exactly there. With Saturn retrograde, old homework returns for review; whatever you skipped is easier the second time. Protect one hour of quiet as if it were an appointment.
This week, August 3 to 9
A week with no doors slamming: the Moon travels quietly between chapters. Mars keeps working your house of money and what you own, and that is where your traction is. No personal planet is moving backwards: what you start this week walks in a straight line.
This month, August 2026
The Sun spends the month in Leo, lighting your house of home and family: that is the month's stage. On the 12th, the new moon in Leo opens your house of home and family: place one small, real beginning there. It is also an eclipse, so let this one be bigger than usual: watch what leaves, and do not chase it. On the 28th, the full moon in Pisces peaks in your house of friends and community: something ripens there, and seeing it whole is the task. That one is an eclipse as well: the same counsel, one level deeper.
Who Taurus is
Taurus runs from April 20 to May 20. Born right on the edge, the exact year decides the sign, and your birth chart says it without guessing.
Taurus is ruled by Venus. Its symbol is the bull.
The Sun in Taurus
Your core seeks the real: things you can touch, keep, savor and rely on. You build slowly and permanently, and your loyalty works the same way.
The Moon in Taurus
You feel safe through the senses, good food, familiar textures, unhurried time. Rushing you emotionally is like rushing a garden.
Taurus rising
You come across as steady ground, people relax around you before they know why. Your presence promises that nothing will be sudden.
Who matches Taurus?
Taurus settles best with the other earth signs, Virgo and Capricorn, who take promises as seriously as it does. Water softens earth: Cancer and Pisces bring the feeling that Taurus builds a home for. The mirror is Scorpio, the opposite sign, where Taurus learns that depth is a form of security too.
Your Sun sign is one line of your sky. Read the whole letter.
