财运方面已经有好一阵子不太顺利，存钱这件事一直以来也为了一个接着一个冒出来，又无法避免的开销而有点棘手。但是这个月，阿牛，你可以简化支出并想出一个在每个礼拜存下一定金额的存款计画。一旦你开始了这个习惯，它会变得很简单，而且你也不会觉得自己有被剥夺什么。好好想一想自己是为著什么努力。如果你觉得自己总是在没头没脑地兜著圈子，试着把事情完成，也许是时候更好地去掌握你的行程，才能在较短的时间内，以较少的焦虑变得更有效率也更有效果。你可能会发现，自己在原本不觉得会被反对的计画上面临质疑。但如果你是坚定又冷静的站得住
脚，并且一再提醒自己（必要的话，越多次越好）为什么你对于自己的计画有信念，最后仍会得到支持。
如果你在本月稍后得到一个迟来的道歉，可不要顽固了起来。你可能会偏向心怀怨恨，因为你讨厌这个道歉拖了那么久才姗姗来迟，抑或者仅仅是因为需要被道歉的缘由。然而，如果道歉的人是你很乐意去重新与之产生连结的，千万别怕被赏第二个巴掌，把左脸也转过来再试一次吧*。
*注：马太福音5：39
"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also."
“可是我告诉你们，不要与恶人做对。谁打了你的右脸，连左脸也转过来让他打。”
（我自己对这一段的解释是，如果对方原本是能让你产生连结的，这实在是很难能可贵。如果因为某种不愉快而造成误解，甚至是到达冒犯的程度，说真的也是因为双方的自尊心受到伤害，才会反过来刺激对方。人都会犯错，愿意低头面对过错，也是给双方一个机会去重新检视自己。不过，也不是一定要作贱自己就是了。）
Taurus horoscope for August
You may have had a hard time financially, and saving your money may have been tricky recently because one unavoidable expense after another has popped up. But this month, Taurus, you can get down to basics and come up with a plan for setting aside a certain amount every week. Once you get into the habit, it will be easier, and you won't feel like you are depriving yourself of anything. Think about what you are working toward. If you feel that you have been running around in circles frantically trying to
get things done, it might be time to get better control over your schedule so that you can be more efficient and effective in less time and with less anxiety. You may find yourself facing opposition with a plan you had in place that you thought was uncontested. But if you stand your ground firmly and calmly, and you go over (as many times as necessary) why you believe in your plan, it should get the green light eventually. Don't be stubborn if you receive an overdue apology later in the month. You may
be tempted to hold a grudge because you are resentful that it took so long to receive that apology, or even just because it ever happened to begin with. But if this is someone you would enjoy reconnecting with, then you must turn the other cheek and try again.
