Taurus 31 August – 6 September 2026

Taurus is being asked to look beyond immediate security and ask what kind of life is actually worth making secure. The Sun and Mercury in Virgo favour practical creativity, learning and the pleasure of making something tangible, while Jupiter in Leo and Saturn retrograde in Aries create a quieter tension between expansion and the need to withdraw, rest and clear old foundations. Venus, your ruling planet, is moving through Libra and approaching her retrograde shadow, making balance, reciprocity and the quality of your daily life especially important. With the recent Pisces eclipse still reverberating through your future plans and friendships, this is a week to notice which connections and ambitions genuinely nourish you rather than simply keeping you attached to the familiar.

The way through: choose what gives you lasting nourishment rather than temporary comfort, and let your steady Taurus nature build the new quietly, patiently and on solid ground.
