Taurus Monthly Horoscope

Transitioning into fall can be plenty of fun for you Taurus, but with a few potential obstacles to work around. On the plus side, Virgo season, which lasts until September 23, is one of your most playful and passionate times of the year. The challenge? SEVEN planets are in powered-down retrograde this month, which could slow your progress in certain areas. 

The lineup includes all five of the slow-moving outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto) PLUS Mercury, who’s the galactic guardian of communication and technology. Luckily, Mercury is only retrograde until September 15, but this could still bring a bumpier start to back-to-school season.

The good news is that on September 3, your ruling planet Venus mercifully corrects course after a six-week retrograde that’s messed with love and interpersonal harmony since July 22. However, the next day, September 4, Jupiter picks up the retrograde mantle and makes a rearward turn.

If you can’t beat ‘dem planets (and you can’t), join them. In other words, roll with the retrogrades by adjusting your own pacing and expectations. Retrogrades turn our attention to the past and unfinished business. Reconnect with old friends. Finish that memoir manuscript or closet cleanout or tedious but essential work project.

With motivator Mars in Libra and your detail-oriented sixth house all month, you’ve got some extra fuel to work through any tedious tasks—or to delegate to a capable specialist. Take extra care of your physical and mental health with Mars here. Stress is NOT your friend, so balance any pressure with bountiful self-care and movement. Remember that your body is your soul’s address and keep the “property” beautiful.

The month ends with full Aries supermoon in your twelfth house of release on September 29. Bless the stress and release it to the universe. Next month will be a big turning point for you, ending with a final, game-changing lunar eclipse in YOUR sign on October 28. Be patient but proactive, as a lot of things will start to make sense after this eclipse. Start talking to the universe a little more, asking for what you want and where you need help. Then, get out of the way so you can receive those blessings in the way the divine decides to send them!
