Taurus Horoscope for August 2025

This is yet another wild month for you, Taurus, with enormous transformational possibilities affecting your career sector, where Pluto resides, and additionally your opposing sector of home and family, where the recent Leo New Moon, directly opposed to Pluto, has just taken place, and where Mercury is also currently in retrograde motion, symbolizing a meditative and introspective period of review, refinement, and potential realignment. You could be investigating familial patterns of relationship, or potentially as well, ancient early childhood issues arising from your family of origin that perhaps still haunt you in your current maturity. There are implications too for the way that you show up in your public persona or in the career decisions that are currently underway.
Also strongly affected by the Mercury Retrograde and the previous Leo New Moon is your sector of unconscious process and inner work, which is represented in your solar chart by the sign of Aries, where Saturn and Neptune, both at 1° plus, currently reside, as the August month begins. This potent combination of concrete 3D reality (Saturn) and what is instead beyond the physical plane (Neptune) being thus featured is quite telling. You are being given an opportunity to transcend your more normative practicality with a touch of the mystical, and to attempt to find some brand new prism with which you might be inspired to view your life and any current conundrums you may be facing. This could, in other words, represent an invitation to take a more magically inclusive viewpoint that could foster long-term benefits as your spiritual evolution continues to unfold. As archetypal psychologist Thomas Moore was able to assert in the 1970s, “the nature of the soul is paradox,” which opens more doors in the solving of down-to-earth problems than you might initially imagine.
