For the past few weeks, you’ve been focusing on your ~infrastructure: What makes you feel solid and secure? You’ve been enjoying tending to your proverbial (and potentially literal!) garden, but now, it’s time to get back to work. On August 3, a Full Moon in Aquarius will serve as a reality check. The truth is, Taurus love, even when you’re getting cozy with your fuzzy slippers and a nice glass of Sancerre, you can still be challenging yourself to reach your greatest, highest potential. With the Sun and Moon locked up in a staring contest on opposite sides of the sky, you’re presented with an incredible opportunity to deepen your relationship to success. Don’t be surprised if new long-term goals come to the light. Simply put, don’t be afraid to take a few risks at the beginning of the month. With the magical Moon activating your career zone, anything is possible.

Everyone calls you stubborn, but you prefer “loyal” (thank you very much). By mid-month, you may realize that a particularly tense dynamic may not be worth fighting for—are you willing to walk away? On August 18, a New Moon in Leo is ripe for manifestation, inspiring you to take action. It’s been a long time coming, Taurus, and now, you finally have the confidence (and motivation) to walk away. Yes, the summer is almost over—but there’s still time to make this month extra special! If you’ve been trying to figure out how to have a difficult conversation (especially with a roommate or relative), you’ll finally be ready to speak your truth.

But the real party starts on August 22, when the Sun dips out of Leo and heads into a like-minded earth sign, Virgo. Virgo energy activates your chart in a fun, playful, and positive way, so don’t be surprised if you experience a surge of inspiration at the end of the month. Over the next few weeks, you’ll be ready to hone your talents—especially regarding creativity, athletics, and romance. What!? That’s right, Taurus: You may find yourself in a sea of suitors by the end of the month. During Virgo season, all eyes will be on you. You may have a hard time keeping up with all your flirty DMs. Phew—being adored is exhausting! But don’t fret: As long as you stay true to yourself (as in, clearly communicating your values and expectations, along with your wants and needs), you’ll be sure to weed out any unwanted bull. Now that’s the bovine spirit!
