General
Most of the planets are at the bottom of the Taurus horoscope in August 2023.
Jupiter in Taurus and Mars in Virgo are your supportive tailwinds, Taurus!

Retrograde planets are not at your disadvantage, on the contrary, it gives you time to think!
Love and Relationships
Mars travels through Virgo (House of Love) until August 27, 2023, bringing a strong desire for love and affection. Mars in Virgo increases the chance of a seductive date for the single Taurus.
Yet it is not easy to find the right partner.
In the steady relationship, your partner needs loving attention and tenderness. Everything you give, you get back in threefold! Give and take must be in balance. Don’t be possessive, Taurus.
Mercury retrograde in Virgo from August 23 to September 14, 2023 shows that love issues need to be addressed in order to reconnect with your heart. During this retrograde there may be disagreements and an ex lover may return that you want to reconnect with.
The Full Moon in Pisces of August 31, 2023 in your House of Friendships, groups and organizations shows who your true friends are. Something is coming to completion in your social circle.
Family and Home
Your ruling planet is Venus. Venus is retrograde in Leo until September 3, 2023 and during this period you can take it easy at home. This energy can also be frustrating, as there may be circumstances where that is not possible due to work or travel.
With the New Moon of August 16, 2023 in the House of Family and Home, an urge to find your true self awakens. The New Moon in Leo leads you back to your inner world, your roots, your parents and even your ancestors. Focus your energy on your ability to feel and connect to your emotional life, family line or lineage. What and who offers you a safe base? Problems with your home, close relatives and neighbors can now be solved. Until August 27, 2023, Mars travels through Virgo and therefore children can demand more attention.
However, Mercury retrograde in Virgo from August 23 to September 14, 2023 can create unrest again. Patience and love are needed.
Career
The powerful Full Moon in Aquarius of August 1, 2023 falls into the House of Career.
Taking a step back is good to be able to see the big picture, because then you can see how far you have come in your career or social position.

Taurus can count on the support of colleagues, management and experts in the implementation of projects. August 2023 is favorable to apply for a job with better prospects or transfer. These changes give you the opportunity to grow in your career. Taurus must take into account, for example, a colleague who wants to thwart you out of jealousy or other reasons.
Finance
Now that the Nodes are no longer on the Taurus/Scorpio financial axis, a period has begun in which you have to be cautious with financial commitments, investments and speculations. Avoid all risky investments as they will incur losses.
The time is also not favorable for expanding current ventures or starting new ones. It’s time to cut costs.
Investments can lead to losses. There may also be lost profits due to conflicts with customers, business partners and colleagues.
All risky investments should be avoided. August 2023 with Mercury retrograde from August 23, 2023 is not favorable for the expansion of existing projects or the start of new projects.
Health
Retrograde Chiron in Aries in your 12th House of Cosmic Consciousness and inner Psyche especially brings up painful memories, words or situations from the past that have made you vulnerable. Retrograde Chiron forces you to face emotional pain that you would rather not be reminded of.
The shift from the Lunar Nodes to Aries/Libra this month can already bring about a cathartic change in the way you feel about yourself and others to restore precious mental and physical balance.
It is possible that you prefer to avoid interactions, but you should not. You can heal hidden pain by connection. A sabbatical or retreat is advisable.
A strict diet, yoga and a fitness program contribute to your mental and physical health.
