Taurus Horoscope: April 2014

Clear the air

Although you may experience a certain amount of mild tension this month, you're in good shape compared to some of the other signs. In fact, you have a spectacular opportunity ahead for personal growth. But first, let's talk about the stress...

In your case, it might have to do with a health issue you've been ignoring or treating incorrectly. If you have been following the same protocol and expecting a different result, it'll become clear this month that you need to make a change. Anxiety may also get the best of you if you're not careful -- especially near April 15 and again near April 23. A conversation you have been worried about will need to happen around this time, heating up your apprehension even more. Just remember: This dialogue most likely needs to take place in order to clear the air -- and the decks. 

By April 29, however, everything changes. Your time will truly arrive, thanks to a spectacular Solar Eclipse set to happen in your sign. This eclipse suggests that a potent fresh start in your world is about to transpire. Adding to your blessings is the fact that this lunation will be accompanied by a slew of supportive communication links. Your voice will be powerful and your decisions wise.

Taurus Horoscope: March 2014

Listen to your body

If you start out the month feeling drained, it'll be a clear signal that it's time to schedule a doctor's appointment to see what's going on. If you already have a health condition diagnosed and you've been treating it, you may feel frustrated at what appears to be a lack of progress. Or, it's possible you'll discover there's an entirely new issue to take care of this month.

You'll be angry -- but you may also feel defeated. Sometimes, we need to lose a battle in order to humble us enough to realize that we're not fighting in the most strategic way. The truth is, you're probably not being fair to yourself -- to your health. Do you really need to have the wine and the chocolate together at night? If you walk up a flight of stairs and try to ignore the fact that you're gasping for air, it should serve as a wake-up call. It's time to take care of you! 

As far as work goes, it's possible you'll re-visit an old partnership opportunity that never got off the ground. You may also feel frustrated over a delay in collaborating on a project that you're actually quite excited about. If there was ever a time to display your signature virtue of patience, that time is now. You can expect progress near March 14, when a VIP offers encouragement and validation. Whew!

Fortunately, your friends and social contacts will be your sanctuary. A New Moon on March 1 might open up new networking doors for you. Then, conversations with friends will become especially soul nourishing between March 17-22.

Taurus Horoscope: February 2014

Back in the driver's seat

Compared to how you might have felt last month, February could feel like a walk in the park -- even with Mercury turning retrograde on February 6. That's because your ruler, Venus, is now strong and direct after having been retrograde for all of January. Finally, you will feel "yourself" once more, and this will help you enjoy the brilliant domestic energy that the Full Moon on February 14 will offer you. News from a relative might be emotionally fulfilling, and this could be anything from someone announcing that a baby is on the way to the fact that wedding bells are about to ring!
A key development in business is likely between February 14-16, but it'll involve a project that has already been in the works rather than something entirely new. If you and a partner or client experiences a frustrating disagreement on February 19, remind yourself about Mercury Retrograde and give your ally the benefit of the doubt. You will likely find a special edge in relationships around February 24, which may help you achieve resolution.

If you're slated to give a speech or a presentation in front of a crowd on February 28, you will absolutely shine! In fact, someone in the audience might be so impressed with your wisdom that he or she offers you an incredible opportunity, or becomes a new friend that will eventually help you achieve a personal dream.

Taurus Love Horoscope for January 2014

Reflection and growth

Venus, your ruling planet, will be in retrograde motion all month, diminishing the flames of passion for the most part. Still, this doesn't automatically mean that your love life will be non-existent, or wrought with agony. As a matter of fact, Venus Retrograde cycles are a special opportunity to "get it right" when it comes to your love life. If you're single, this will be a month where reflection on your values and requirements in love will be extra important. If you're attached, you may focus more on the responsibility of love and what it truly means for you and your mate to share this awesome commitment. 

Because Venus will backpedal in the area of your chart that rules spirituality, morals and the bigger picture, you may discover that finding a soul mate who shares your religious, cultural or moral beliefs is more important than ever. If you're in a relationship with someone who doesn't support your views, there may be tension. You'll be more likely to wrestle with yourself about where this relationship is going and whether or not it has true long term potential if you share such different core principles. Things may come to a head near January 16 or again on January 25 when communication planet Mercury will square off with Saturn, the planet of commitment and structure, now in your partnership sector. Ideas or decisions that are not supported might lead you to question everything you thought you knew about your union. 

See how the cosmos are affecting your love all year with a personalized Big Picture Love Forecast!

Still, Venus Direct starts January 31, and it will be a potent, auspicious position to help you achieve a realistic perspective about love, partnership and the bigger picture.

Taurus Horoscope: December 2013

Accentuate the Positive

An uplifting Sagittarius New Moon kicks off the month on December 2, inspiring you to set your goals higher while giving you the confidence you need to reach them. However, you won't be able to get away with false bravado because this New Moon occurs in your 8th House of Deep Sharing, sending you on an intense journey of self-discovery.

Your sense of fairness wins out when assertive Mars enters objective Libra and your 6th House of Work on December 7. Being able to recognize your personal needs allows you to set them aside in order to do your job well. Fortunately, opportunistic Jupiter's coordinated trine to ambitious Saturn on December 12 strengthens your resolve to make a realistic plan and execute it efficiently.

You may spend unwisely on indulgent gifts and holiday celebrations thanks to the scattered Gemini Full Moon on December 17 lighting up your 2nd House of Money. You desire more than you currently have, but are cautious about exceeding reasonable limits with resourceful Venus in practical Capricorn camped out in your 9th House of Faraway Places. Although there's a lot of planetary activity throughout the month, you may feel sluggish or as if it's difficult to achieve satisfaction because your ruling planet, Venus, slows down to begin her 41-day retrograde cycle on December 21.

This is also the Winter Solstice, another sign that it's time to retreat and journey inward. However, a shocking Mars-Uranus opposition on December 25 and a fierce Mars-Pluto square on December 30 indicate that you will end this year with a thrilling roller-coaster ride rather than a long and dreamy winter's sleep.

Keep in Mind this Month
Psychological and spiritual transformation is your ultimate key to happiness. Instead of trying to control the external flow of events, focus on improving your inner game.

Key Dates for Taurus

SUPER NOVA DAYS
December 10-12: In it for the Long Haul
You're attracted to the idea of something new and different on December 10, when alluring Venus forms a magical quintile to unorthodox Uranus. Her presence in your 9th House of Journeys makes it easier to stretch your limits by traveling to an exotic destination. Meanwhile, talkative Mercury in overconfident Sagittarius trines Uranus, helping you to rationalize your crazy idea. A long-lasting Jupiter-Saturn trine on December 12 supplies you the street smarts that could turn your vision into an obtainable goal. Working with a partner or a friend is a win-win situation, with Jupiter and Saturn successfully collaborating on your behalf. A project that began around July 17, at the previous Jupiter-Saturn trine, may be right back on your plate now. Keep in mind that your current work might not reach fruition until the third and final occurrence of this aspect on May 24, 2014.

December 21: Spread Your Wings

Widening your horizons mentally or physically is in your immediate future, so get your passport updated or enroll in that course you've been considering when the Sun enters ambitious Capricorn and your 9th House of Travel and Education. Your current wanderlust grows palpable as Venus turns retrograde today to extend her visit in your adventurous 9th house until March 5, 2014.
