Taurus August 2011: "The NEW MOON at the end of last month square Taurus can represent a crisis in confidence because of challenges from events or from other people, most often from men or bosses, teachers etc. They are testing your and your goals, forcing you to justify your very identity and what you are doing. Your ego is on on the line, coming under pressure from others through arguments or challenges to your authority. This may well be a reaction on their part, as they feel it is you are being too pushy in asserting your will over them.
This is not a favorable time for getting your way, certainly not if you don’t want to upset others and cause stress to yourself and add extra tension to important relationships. For Taurus first decan this will last all of August. For Taurus 2nd and 3rd decans, the Full Moon on August 13 is sextile Aries which has a similar effect as described above and will last for the second half of August.
For Taurus 1st and 2nd decans, MARS sextile Taurus in August really increases self confidence and energy levels, and also your magnetic attractiveness to others. This enables you to go after your desires, to get what you want without having to face much opposition. An ideal time to push ahead in business or at work to climb up the ladder. You can take the initiative and start projects with a high probability of success because you give it your all and people will take notice. If you have a pet project or cause you feel strongly about, this is the ideal time to promote it. The attractive energy you radiate at this time means that sexual relations with a love partner are most rewarding, and if on the market, then go for it! For 1st decan this is from August 3 to 18, for 2nd decan from August 19 to 31.
