Jessica Adams has prepared your monthly astrological forecast for August. Discover what the stars have in store for you this month including your Premium Extended Forecast
Taurus – The focus this month is on your Twelfth House (Aries) and Second House (Gemini). The Twelfth is solitary, spiritual, psychic and/or psychological. If you have Pisces natal chart factors, this introverted, soul-searching month is twice as important. It defines you.
As you were born with the Sun in Taurus in the Second House of money, property, valuables and values (ranging from philanthropy to capitalism), you are also having a major shift away from the years of uncertainty that accompanied you from 2018. Uranus is out of Taurus. Your life budget is no longer subject to the swings and roundabouts. At least until November 2025.
Saturn is about a test of patience (‘This too shall pass’) and what/who presses in. What squeezes or pushes inward. Having this planet in your sector of God (or not God), Tarot, therapy, hypnosis and the like is something that only happens every 28-29 years. That might explain a few things about being a Hindu, Pentecostalist or firmly rejecting the same in favour of Jung or oracle cards.
It would be tempting to respond to the constriction and tests of August by wholly escaping from the real world and entering into a different dimension altogether. Denial is a form of escapism. So are substances from wine to cannabis. It really depends on what you choose. And there’s the rub. You can either choose something pretty common and generally helpful (meditation or weekend naps) or go plunging into an alternative space in your life which you know is a bad idea.
Occasionally, you have Saturn in the Twelfth House coinciding with depression or anxiety – in which case the escapism of a one-hour walk every day is clinically recommended. You might also dig down deeper to find out what ails your soul. The Twelfth is about your inner life. With Neptune there too, you are in the rather odd position of having the realities at the same time as the evident non-reality. The choices you face now are historic and unusual. Take your time as you decide because a Saturn transit tends to be hard to escape once you have made the commitment.
Talk to an Aries about this transit which lasts until 2033. It is in sharp focus in August because of quite an unusual pattern in your chart. It’s actually the start of of public uncertainty and quite visible instability about your finances at the same time that you privately experience the end of not knowing!
It’s odd. You are so well-known for your values – be they integrity, selling out, fundraising, Wall Street Wolverine tactics. And you have been through many years of upheavals and revolutionary change. Now, at least to your eyes, it’s finished. Oh, it might return in November 2025 – April 2026. But, for the most part, you can look at late-2026, 2027, 2028 and beyond and see a finishing line for constant change.
So that’s your private life. The departure of Uranus from your natal Second House in July 2025 was the end of the brace position for whatever reason. Now, a different sort of cycle begins in which Uranus in your solar Second House (until 2033) that suggests every radical about-face will be seen by others. There will be one available to you now. It will involve rejecting them, him, her, that or this. That choice is likely bound up with a feeling of being rejected yourself!
Even when the world flips – if you flip with it, you will find yourself in a brand-new fiscal experiment which liberates and exhilarates. You can’t buy freedom at Sotheby’s. Uranus in Gemini will bring about the last thing you expected with your bank account, real estate, home, possessions.
