But none of it matters if your heart is still heavy.

Get real about your needs. August is your invitation to remember your magic, and use it.

Self-care tip: Set aside one day or evening when you don't plan, produce, or push toward any outcome; no goals, no to-do lists, no pressure to be useful. Allow yourself to wander, rest, or explore without requiring results. This helps you re-connect with pleasure without productivity and break your attachment to performance-based worth.

August's affirmation: "I trust that letting go will make room for what's really meant for me. It is safe for me to rest, receive, and begin again."

Best days for Taurus: August 12th, 13th, 14th, 22nd, 26th, and 31st.
