Several planets in Aries this month will make you feel uncomfortable and stressed when dealing with institutions like hospitals, universities, and government offices. It will be frustrating and take a lot of time and energy to get through red tape. You’ll also focus on resolving some of your internal baggage. A New Moon on April 10 will further serve to push you to take action and move forward. You’ll spend time with friends and associates and make sacrifices if someone is in need. You’ll feel supported and that your concerns are being heard. A Full Moon in Scorpio on April 25 will bring tension with others.

LOVE
Venus and Mars ignite your playful nature in April, and your aggressive flirting could bring someone new out of the shadows. On April 10 the New Moon shines its silvery light on behind-the-scenes love, encouraging your passionate soul to stop wasting time. Love could seem to be a life-or-death matter for you, but your new love interest may not feel the same urgency. A Lunar Eclipse on April 25 is in your house of love and marriage, and what you’re up to is anybody’s guess. Let’s face it, Taurus, it’s almost impossible for you to reveal your emotions, whether raging or lukewarm.

CAREER
A demanding work assignment could arrive courtesy of the New Moon on April 10. You’ll be operating behind the scenes, which will boost your productivity. It’s easier to get the job done when you don’t have to wait on customers or field questions from clients. You’re also relieved to escape the watchful eye of a micromanaging authority figure. April 25 marks a Lunar Eclipse. A troubled business partnership will come to a conclusion, allowing you to accept more creative assignments. This break comes as a tremendous relief. You were tired of walking on eggshells with a demanding client whose temper tantrums were notorious.

The focus this month is on creative endeavors that are shared with friends and involvement in spiritual groups. You may also join a charitable organization or have the chance to help others in need. You’ll feel strong empathy and compassion toward friends and acquaintances. This would be a good time to attend religious ceremonies or go on a retreat. With Pluto in Capricorn there will be many changes and disruptions to your long-term plans. You’ll need to be flexible. The New Moon in Pisces will encourage you to set new goals.

LOVE
You spend too much this month, financially and emotionally, as you seem to skim over smooth waters with a tendency to overindulge. Your always-passionate soul is stirred on March 11 when a New Moon lights your house of love as a gamble. March 17 brings out your seductive nature. You flirt outrageously and take no prisoners. Love could be a life-or-death matter for you, but your new love interest may not be aware of that. Any resistance coming from a partner is squelched by the Full Moon on March 27. The real truth is that you’re both smitten. Your romantic adventures are fraught with angst this month - just the way you like it.

CAREER
Working with a group will be reassuring toward the middle of the month. You’ll welcome feedback from a respected expert. This colleague’s constructive criticisms will allow you to polish your raw talent to a diamond-like brilliance. Opportunities related to chemicals, oils, and beverages are especially favored. A client will be dissatisfied with a job toward the end of the month. There simply wasn’t enough money in the budget to create a quality product or service. Be honest about the source of the problem, even at the risk of causing offense. You can’t make a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.

You might feel frustrated, irritable, or tense this month with several planets moving through the sign of Aquarius. This grouping will be in square to your sign and so life might seem full of setbacks and difficult situations. The area of your life that will be most affected is career and reputation. You may have a lot of goals and plans, but you may fail to see how you can reach them. You’ll feel unfocused and pulled in too many directions to be effective. This energy will bring the need to have an open mind and recognize possibilities.

LOVE
Although you’re short on words and abhor taking risks, the February 10 New Moon brings out an aggressive attitude that you try to mask. A new prospective love interest that you meet through a friend is drawn in by your determined attention. Beware that a high stress level doesn’t trigger a disagreement before romance even has a chance. On February 25 you can’t hide your excitement at this new romantic interest, and that intensity you’ve been trying to hide emerges. Mercury turns retrograde in your house of love as the month closes, and it could seem like you can’t speed up this relationship, much as you’d like to.

CAREER
It will be difficult to handle a politically sensitive situation in mid-February. A business rival will delight in your discomfort. Fortunately, you’re able to remain calm under pressure. By accepting responsibility for this problem, you’ll earn respect. These days it’s rare to hear a sincere apology. If you correct the problem for affected customers, you’ll manage to attract even more business. A creative endeavor will come to fruition at the end of the month, but it will yield less money than you expected. Treat this as a learning opportunity. You’ll have to charge more for future orders. Demand what you’re worth.

Several planets in Capricorn this month will bestow the ability to be organized and productive. You’ll be focused on managing communications more efficiently, such as only responding to e-mail and texts at certain times. You may also plan a trip, decide to go back to school, or get more training. You’ll be practical and use common sense when making these decisions. Saturn in Scorpio will bring a serious and responsible attitude toward your romantic partner. There’s a possibility that you may be separated for a time because of business commitments, family obligations, or relationship troubles.

LOVE
The new year begins with hot sparks of playful romance. On January 4 your ruler Venus is working her sneaky magic to have you visualizing that special person that you want for a life partner. The New Moon on January 11 could bring someone who answers your description for a soul mate and unconditional lover. The Full Moon of January 26 finds you so intensely involved with this new individual that you could frighten off another great prospect. Keep your options open, Taurus. On January 30 a daring action sweeps away any inhibitions. You successfully move toward what you believe is the real thing.

CAREER
A career matter involving the law, religion, or politics comes to your attention in early January. You’ll have to learn about an unfamiliar belief system in order to perform this job. Keep an open mind and read everything you can about this philosophy. Going the extra mile will impress a new client. A long-distance business trip is in the cards on or around January 11. You won’t be able to spend as much time at home toward the end of the month thanks to a top-secret assignment. You’ll enjoy working behind the scenes for an unusual customer. Be willing to acquire new technical skills.

Three planets moving through the sign of Scorpio this month will bring better communication and relations with others. You’ll be kind and thoughtful, but you could be a bit inhibited about sharing your feelings or showing affection. Saturn is one of these planets, and its influence may make you cautious. Mars and Pluto in Capricorn will bring a strong desire to explore, learn, and communicate. If you decide to travel or take a course, you’ll have a practical approach. You’ll consider whether you can afford it and make sure your activities have purpose and help you meet your goals.

LOVE
December 1 of the last month of the year could see emotions magnify. The fireworks start with a New Moon in your house of sexy love on December 13. You could meet that soul mate and employ all your means of seduction. On December 21, you and a new friend could be enjoying the holiday cheer and exchanging a confidence, which is rare for you. On December 25, you might feel you’ve gained an important friend or lover (not quite sure yet). The Moon and Venus waltzing together create fireworks and a New Year’s Eve night to remember.

CAREER
Beware of your tendency to be too rigid, especially mid-month. That’s when you’ll have to make allowances for clients and customers with all sorts of emergencies. By bending the rules just a little for them, you’ll receive a bonus or prize. Upsetting news about work will reach your ears toward the end of the year. Try not to get too upset. Unfounded rumors have a way of circulating during transitional phases. If you’re looking for a new job, keep it a secret or a hidden enemy will bring this search to the attention of your boss. The last thing you want is a lot of drama around year’s end.

Have a save and joyous Yule from the publisher of Tauren Adorum!

LOVE

The October 29 Full Moon meets up with Mars and the North Node in your partnership house, and you know you’re headed in the right direction this time.

CAREER
A new job will be offered toward mid-October. It looks as though your position will have a creative aspect to it. The pay will be extremely good, too.

Are you happy with your current job? Then you’re sure to get a plum assignment on or around October 15. Beware of joining forces with a stuffy executive near October 29. The last thing you need to deal with is a micromanager.

LOVE
It’s tough for smoldering Taurus when a Full Moon on July 3 demands long talks and literally forces sparkling repartee, much as you want to resist. You like to let a prospective partner guess what you want, but today you could suddenly open up. Uranus and Mercury turn retrograde on July 13 and 14, and once more you may temporarily shut down. But the loosening of your tongue could become compelling to your significant other, who wants more. The July 18 New Moon finds the two of you engaged in a dialog that could turn what was just a friendship into dinner for two behind closed doors.

CAREER

Disappointing news about a work assignment could reach your ears near July 18. The New Moon might prompt one of your superiors to award this project to someone who’s a little more ambitious.
