Taurus Horoscope for August 2013

This is your time to shine, Taurus. Your self-expression is very active now. Having survived last month's retrograde of Mercury through your communications sector, you are in a very different place regarding life and love than you were last month; and still journeying. This month gives you the chance to ground yourself as you also continue to explore your depths in ever new and ever changing ways. The best method of approach might be to regard everything that happens as an on-going learning experience applying at all levels. You find that the perspectives of others become even more valuable after they have been allowed to percolate for a while through your unconscious. It no longer works to dismiss what you cannot directly see, feel and hear with outwardly directed senses.

As the month begins, you are feeling somewhat frisky in the midst of a meditative excursion into the meaning behind the more obvious factors of your life. This could seem to be one way as far as the outer presentation and yet quite another when you take a more internal point of view into account — as you must to give full appreciation to the underlying facets of your existence. The last few days, stemming from the Last Quarter Moon on the final Monday of July, have been more than interesting in this mostly internalized fashion, and you have no doubt been feeling the intensity of the energy. There was on that day a double grand trine in Water and Earth that briefly formed a six-pointed star pattern known the star of David, to include the Moon in your sign, together with your ruler, Venus, currently residing in your fifth sector of creative self-expression.

If you are an artist your methods of production might have grown more magical over this space of time, and if not you could be feeling the inclination to pursue some form of creative endeavor. While the Star of David pattern fades as the month gets underway, there are several key outer planet positions that remain in effect. The most important of these are the presences of Uranus in your sector of dream imagination and inner work, which is to say inspiration in action, and Pluto in your sector of higher mind; also Jupiter in conjunction with Mars in your communications sector, having the symbolism of an important learning experience reflected outward into communication with others around you.

The prominence of Chiron the Wounded Healer, still located in your eleventh sector of friendship and group affiliation, is also quite amazing over the course of this month. Chiron, Uranus and Jupiter all line up in various intensities of aspects over the middle period, peaking briefly on the 1st, then again on the 14th and at the Full Moon of August 20th. In this context you are likely to find yourself in an ongoing process of rethinking your societal connection, taking into account both the wounded places inside you and also the way in which you might yet pass beyond them.

In the background of all these transformational elements beaming into your solar chart this month, Saturn and Neptune continue their nearly perfect trine aspect, fostering a trace of cynicism it is true, and as well the possibility for spiritual mentorship coming your way. You might be able to tap into a fundamental belief in the ultimate worthiness of your subtle and sensitive future trending, along with its unknown outcome.
