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.

November 2013 Taurus horoscope prediction:

Romance:
Taurus will find communication difficult during November 2013, which is not ideal for relationships. At times it is best to say nothing while the over emotional effects of the opposition Scorpio Solar Eclipse on November 3rd are still being felt. Best delay any dates until later in the month.
Career:
The best thing for Taurus to do this month is simply get back to basics and get on with your own job. Save off any networking and career advancement attempts until your communication abilities come back to you late in November.
Money:
Resist the urges for any retail therapy this month, as you will come to regret spending out on things that you simply do not need. The act of shopping will not in itself settle any emotional upset you feel.
Travel:
A few days out on your own in the early days of the month will be good for Taurus. Go visit a museum or take in a show or just get out and go for a coffee on your own.
Home:
Once the turmoil of early November is out of the way, you should do what you can to get your family and friends round. You will benefit from catching up with everyone and will come out of the process with much stronger bonds to help you on your way.
November 2013 Taurus Summary:
Taurus spends most of November 2013 under the intense glow of The Sun in Scorpio at opposition with Taurus. Momentously this opposition also includes a total solar eclipse on November 3rd.
Your emotions will be in something of a turmoil, something that will strain your romantic relationship more than any other time of recent months. You are not the best at supporting your lover at this time.
If you are single and looking to meet someone new, you might be better off not arranging any dates until the affects of this eclipse have passed, as you might push away someone worth getting to know better.
In addition to The Sun, you also have the continued opposition of Mercury and Saturn as part of the mix. Saturn with Mercury in close attendance tends to stifle attempts of self expression. There may be people you need to speak to, but you may not be able to find the words to say. With The Sun focused on Taurus, this is not a good period to network or seek new employment. Stay put for a while. Do not get in to any financial commitments or long term contracts until after these immediate aspects pass.
By the time of the Full Moon in Taurus on November 17th things will have almost fully turned around and your will be feeling rather calmer inside, and more able to get along with those around you without fear of saying the wrong thing.
Once The Sun leaves opposition in Scorpio on November 22nd, you will get a big confidence boost. At this time the Mercury Saturn conjunction has widened, leaving you in charge of your own ways and means.
If you were thinking of arranging any sort of party or event, the last week of November under the improved spirits of an more independent Saturn makes this an ideal time. Be bold and think big. Presentations of new ideas and concepts will be your big advantage so make the most of things.

October 2013 Taurus horoscope prediction:

With both Venus and Mercury joining Saturn in Scorpio at opposition with Taurus at the start of October 2013, the perturbations to your routine and mixed up feelings that Taurus endured in late September continue to wreak their negative vibes on you. You are not a good person to be around with your emotions in such a turmoil. Things build to the point when The Moon passes through Scorpio and conjunctions with Mercury and Saturn in short order on October 6th, causing even greater affects on your negative thoughts. But just before the Moon's conjunction with Venus, the planet moves out in to Sagittarius, and giving Taurus emotions something of a respite for the first time in a few weeks.
With Mercury and Saturn now in conjunction for a time you will feel very isolated at a time when you just need to let things out and confide in a close friend. Your emotions will stay on the inside rather than being something you will find easy to discuss.
For long periods this changeability in Taurus will be causing major upheavals in your love life. Your partner will have no idea how to approach you and will not have any idea from one minute to the next what to expect from you.
Your career will be on a back burner whilst you get through this time. Do not expect an easy ride in the workplace with such an unpredictable Taurus. At home your family and friends will be giving you a wide berth until you settle down and become somewhat calmer. There will be no chance of getting away from things without their help either.
On October 23rd The Sun moves in to Scorpio and in to opposition with Taurus, and the direction conjunction of Mercury and Saturn has passed, giving Taurus a much needed mood double boost. Rather than try and get some new projects up and running, relax for a little and just let yourself bask in The Sun's glow from the other side of the Zodiac for a little while.

September 2013 Taurus horoscope prediction:

September 2013 is a time when Taurus comes under pressure from many different directions as the planetary opposition in Scorpio builds up on you. At least the month begins relatively quietly with the serine presence of an isolated and becalmed Saturn leaves you feeling relaxed and confident in your own abilities and your capacity to get along with people, even if your motivation to make forward progress is lower than you would care to admit even to yourself.
Things change starting on September 10th 2013. The Moon comes in to conjunction with Saturn and your serenity will be completely perturbed. Your comfort zone is a thing of the past as the very next day Venus enters Scorpio and opposition with Taurus and you will have to wake up and take notice. You have to work hard to maintain a good balance between keeping people happy in various relationships in the home and the workplace, especially with members of the opposite sex. Your love life will hit either a rock or a hard place, no way to predict which, and you are bound to struggle to keep the peace with your lover.
The strange thing is, despite how things feel as you flail about trying to work out what has hit you, this is the best thing that has happened to Taurus for some time. You have relaxed yourself in to a rut and changes to your routine are exactly what you need to grow and develop. You will never get a promotion in work if you never make an effort to try new things, and if you never seek out new places and new destinations to explore, you will never learn anything new.
On September 29th, just when you think you can cope with whatever the stars and planets can throw at you, Mercury enters Scorpio and opposition with Taurus. You will flip from happiness to sadness, positive to negative as Mercury approaches a Saturn conjunction. The thing is though, this is just life in teacup. Intense, yes, but nothing more than other signs are facing at the same time this month.

August 2013 Taurus horoscope prediction:

Romance:
With little to inspire Taurus during August 2013 you might find your love life on the back burner for a time. You may not be in the mood to make any major changes suggested by your partner, but be sure not to cut yourself off. Single Taurus might well stay that way until planetary alignments move to a more positive aspect next month.

Career:
Time to simply keep your head down and get on with the job in hand rather than try for making big ideas happen. Bide your time for a few weeks.

Money:
With such a low energy month for Taurus you will do well to keep your cash in the bank and not indulge in shopping sprees.

Travel:
A stay at home month for Taurus. This will pass in a few weeks and you will be well on your way to pastures new soon enough.

Home:
Time to speak to family and friends and ask them to help out more in and around the home. Do not try and cope on your own as you will get bogged down before too long.

August 2013 Taurus Summary:
With such a quiet planetary time for Taurus during August 2013, it will be very easy to get stuck in a rut. The subconscious mind of our dreams often take us to dark places with an unsure path ahead. Taurus could well have dreams of being inside a long tunnel with no obvious light at the end this month. For Taurus this could signify a struggle to make more of ourselves but with no obvious way to achieve this in real life.
Work can slow to almost a stop at times like these, making chances of furthering our careers or even just making the most of what we already have as being just outside our grasp.
Do not be afraid to ask for help this month. You might not quite word it that way, but feel free to get on the phone to an old friend, or even better go and visit. You will feel much better inside as a result.
The best times to make positive changes will be those times when The Moon is having the biggest effect on Taurus. On August 13th The Moon passes conjunction with Saturn which is still at opposition with Taurus in Scorpio, and then gain on August 26th when The Moon in Taurus opposes Saturn. Usually these events are something to beware, but with such a slow time already being had you should make the most of the mood changes these days bring to get yourself motivated.
