My goodness, Taurus, you’re simply glowing. Ever since the Sun entered Virgo, you’ve been investing in your glow-up, doubling-down on baths, face masks and—yes—the occasional double cheeseburger. And guess what? All that indulgent “me time” looks damn good on you: You’re finally feeling like yourself again.

Indeed, the warm late summer Sun has been serving as your celestial muse, sparking your creativity, confidence, and even romance. But—hold up, Taurus—let’s get real for a quick sec. Yes, you’ve been feeling fabulous…but with so many exciting possibilities on the horizon, it’s been hard for you to tell a short-term curiosity from long-term opportunity, which is why you can really use some gentle guidance from trustworthy friends and family. And, right on time, the Full Moon in Pisces on September 2 will inspire you to reconnect with your crew. Under this electric lunation, invest in your network by joining communities (both IRL and URL) that align with your values. How can your social sphere help you turn your dream into reality? Whether you’re building your following on social media, asking your colleagues for professional introductions, or simply getting constructive feedback on a new creative project, the Full Moon in Pisces will offer valuable perspective.

If you need to make any changes, try implementing these shifts before September 9. On this day, Mars (the planet of action, ambition, and determination) begins its two-month retrograde cycle. Although the word “retrograde” is often associated with Mercury, from an astrological vantage, Mars Retrograde may be the nastiest of all planetary backwards glides. This red planet flips only once every two-years, which means its about-face can leave a lasting impact.

Through mid-November, Mars' backwards cruise through Aries will highlight your psychic sector, encouraging you to deepen your intuitive gifts. This is an excellent time to pause, reflect, and re-examine your direction: How does your empathy influence your day-to-day realities? Are you honoring your emotional and spiritual limits or has something (or someone) trampled all over your boundaries? Sensitivities are important, but if virtually everything is sending you into a tailspin, you may need to bolster your infrastructure for extra support. Simply put, Taurus love, you can offer empathy and compassion without absorbing others’ problems: Not even the strongest Taurus should shoulder that much responsibility!

But don’t fret: On September 17, the Sun and Moon meet in Virgo (a like-minded earth sign) to form a soothing New Moon that feels like a much-needed (and well-deserved) trip to the spa. Give yourself permission to relax fully and completely! If possible, spend some time in nature. Dip your toes in the water, stretch your fingers into wet soil, and whisper your dreams to the wise trees. For you, bovine babe, this New Moon is a wonderful lunation to manifest real, tangible growth, so lean into your earthy spirit by connecting with organic magic. After all, your artistic capabilities transcend your ability to draw, paint, or write—when you unite with the elements, you realize that creation is everywhere. As the days begin to get shorter, explore the magic of seasonal change.

Right on time, Libra season begins on September 22. Libra energy illuminates the area of your chart associated with health and wellness, as well as systems and organization, so this is an excellent time to touch base with your daily schedule. 2020 has been a challenging year and, surely, your calendar has reflected this chaos—but, even against the backdrop of unpredictability, the next few weeks encourage you to find your footing. As a Taurus, it’s very important that you can rely on consistent anchors and milestones…yes, you may need to need to create these from scratch, but that’s fine. It’s okay to take charge!
