PLANETARY DYNAMICS

Venus, your ascendant lord (lagnesh) , will transit the 2nd house (Gemini) until August 20, bringing financial gains and family harmony. After that, it moves to the 3rd house (Cancer), boosting communication and creativity.

Mercury stays in Cancer (3rd house) all month—retrograde until August 11, then direct until August 30—supporting clear communication and travel after mid-month.

Sun transits Cancer (3rd house) until August 16, then moves to Leo (4th house)—a powerful shift for home, status, and confidence.This is a promising shift

Jupiter remains direct in Gemini (2nd house), changing nakshatra on August 13, and stays conjunct Venus until August 20, enhancing income and speech.

Saturn remains retrograde in Pisces (11th house) all month, testing long-term goals and friendships.

Mars which isn’t a friendly planet (markesh) for Taurus, transits your 5th house in Virgo. Mars moving through your fifth house isn’t very favorable for you. You need to be a bit more cautious and careful here.

HEALTH

Your ascendant lord is well-placed this month, so no major health issues are expected. If you’ve had ongoing problems, you’re likely to find relief or solutions now.

However, retrograde Saturn in your 11th house aspects your ascendant, which may cause lethargy, low motivation, and mental fatigue. You might feel lazy, stressed, or anxious at times. Stay active, maintain discipline, and don’t ignore your mental well-being.

BUSINESS AND FINANCE

August brings a major financial turning point for you. Until August 11, you might feel like your efforts aren't matching your results. Income could feel delayed, and clarity might be lacking in decisions. However, once Mercury goes direct on August 11 in your third house—the house of communication and action—you’ll receive important updates via calls, messages, or emails. Financial matters will improve rapidly, stuck money will start to come through, and career or business decisions will gain momentum.

Saturn’s retrograde in your 11th house (upchaya sthana) will bring benefits through hard work, persistence, and connections. After August 11, businessmen and investors can expect strong returns on older investments. You may also attract a new investor or partner who boosts your prospects.

Venus, your ascendant lord, will be in the second house until August 20, supporting family harmony and wealth accumulation. It's a good time to invest in gold, silver, or diamonds, and you may also witness auspicious events at home. After August 20, Venus joins Mercury in your third house, forming the powerful Lakshmi Narayan Yoga—opening doors to golden opportunities.

The Sun will enter your fourth house on August 16, marking a favorable time for real estate agents, automobile dealers, and brokers. Profits through commission, property deals, or asset sales are likely. Comforts will increase, and you may clear loans, bills, or taxes with ease.

Jupiter, the natural significator of wealth, is transiting your second house, ensuring prosperity, abundance, and increased savings. Those working in finance, speaking, research, or consulting roles will benefit immensely. Business partners and well-wishers will fully support you. You’ll experience improved relationships with siblings and greater mental stability.

It’s advised not to start anything new or lend money before August 11. Post that, you’ll see the real growth and results you’ve been waiting for. Both short and long-distance journeys will prove beneficial. Be patient, stay focused, and take action strategically in the second half of the month—this will be a game-changing period for you financially and professionally.

Avoid getting involved in any legal matters this month. Doing so could lead to unnecessary loss of money, wasted time, and drained energy without any positive outcome. Stay away from conflicts or disputes, and instead focus your energy on your goals and commitments

FAMILY AND RELATIONSHIPS

Family life will be very fulfilling. Your bond with your mother will strengthen, and her health is likely to improve after August 16. You’ll spend quality time with loved ones, and if you live abroad, a family visit or reunion is likely.

Overall,

With Venus transiting your 2nd and 3rd houses, and Saturn retrograde in the 11th, this is a powerful time for growth. Rahu in the 10th and Ketu in the 4th bring sudden positive shifts—especially in career and income. Malefic planets in these houses often lead to surprising promotions, salary hikes, or new business gains. August holds strong potential for a major breakthrough.

Overall, with Venus strongly placed and supportive planetary alignments, this month is a 10/10 for Taurus ascendants. Just stay focused, avoid legal entanglements, and keep your intentions pure—success will follow.

REMEDIES FOR THE MONTH

1. Throughout this month, make it a point to donate 8 kg or 800 grams of desi ghee every Friday at a religious place—preferably a temple or gurdwara. Offer it to the community kitchen (langar) as a sacred contribution.

2. Each Friday morning, begin your day by reciting the Lakshmi Chalisa with devotion.

3. Additionally, wear a white topaz pendant set in gold around your neck to attract prosperity, peace, and divine blessings. These practices will help align you with positive energy and bring significant financial and spiritual gains. If you can’t wear it, just continue the recitations and donations.

4. Most importantly, respect the women in your life—your mother, sister, partner, or wife. The more respect you give, the more your success and good fortune will multiply.
