Taurus Horoscope for August 2015

This is a darkly illuminating month, Taurus, especially for consideration of the important relationships in your life. You have been delving down, since mid-July, into the vast and yeasty spaces below the surface layers of your personality. You are also investigating more closely the concept of your artistic vision and self-expressive creativity, and how these relate to your core issues. As you move to more thoroughly explore your key partnerships and your profound inner process, you are also looking more closely into your deepest soul-level intention. You won't really come up for air until after the summer has nearly passed, with the September station to direct motion of your ruler, Venus. At that time, the new knowledge that you have gained will be your reward for paying the closest possible attention, during this crucial period, to everything that has been going on inside you.

As the month begins, you are riding out the wave of recent intense astrological events for you, beginning with the mid-July New Moon in your communications sector, when a sense of your evolving worldview was greatly evident to you. This is in line with the symbolism of an activated presence of Pluto in your sector of higher mind activities, teaching, and foreign travel. This astrological factor has been producing ripples of consequence for the way that you see the world around you, and ultimately for your activities. Also of great consequence, over the previous week came the station to retrograde motion of your ruler, Venus, that began in your self-expression sector, and continues all through August affecting your sector of home and family, and your psychological roots. You are therefore questioning who, at base, you really are and looking more deeply into your family dynamics.

Also prominent for you this month would be this theme of the retrograde journey of your ruling planet, Venus. Just as she had dipped her toes into the refined realms of Virgo, corresponding to your creativity sector, she began moving backward. As of the beginning of August, this reversal of outgoing energy is associated with your solar sector of home and family. Perhaps there is a sense that you are to return to your roots or beginnings in some fashion, in order to learn lessons derived from the new vantage point of the person that you have grown into during these recent times of potent transformation. You might be able to get in better touch with the ways in which you are attempting to outgrow that set of beliefs that, stemming from your formative experiences, restrict your ability to be fully expressed creatively in the world. This will likely be reflected most powerfully back to you in your relationships with others, so that these could feel challenging and difficult at times during the course of a rather intense monthly cycle of growth and change.

Another important placement is Saturn, just stationing to direct motion as the month begins, and located in your relationship sector. You are therefore occupied at least in part, during this time of trial and of questioning, in thoroughly examining the quality of connection in your life. This is also about looking inward and asking yourself what you value most in yourself and in others. It is through the transformations over this climactic summer, and the lessons gleaned, that you will be able to continue to thrive, and your creative expressions to blossom as they become unbridled from the chains of the past.

Another important area for you this month is the deep and vast sea of your subconscious mind, and the strong primal drives and hidden motivations that stem from this hidden place. On the road to further evolving your consciousness, you may be coming more and more aware of the motors that drive you and operate underneath or outside of your direct experience of your conscious mind. You could find that some of these behaviors stem from a compulsive need to feel a sense of belonging, but much of the strategizing that you employ to achieve this was developed at a young age, and therefore may be outworn or no longer as useful as it once was. This month is a perfect time to find new ways of accessing beliefs that support a feeling in your heart that you are an essential part of a greater whole, and taking actions from a place of peaceful trust that that is so, rather than from the fear that it is not. A key element to this process of integration is bridging the gaps in your awareness between the parts of yourself that you strongly identify with, and the parts that you are less fond of, or are uncomfortable with. True healing can come in embracing and welcoming every part of your being, embodying and expressing the wholeness of who you truly are.
