November 2010

You feel like part of the cast of Harry Potter, there’s been Act 1 2, 3…and then finally, there’s a sense of it coming to an end and you’re not sure whether to feel sad or relieved.  It’s been a long journey, you’ve been an integral part but you know that before too you’ll have to go your own way.  It’s like cutting a metaphorical umbilical cord but it’s neither logical nor in your best interests to hold on – it’s an empty challis.

 

Whatever you’ve been engaged in the past couple of years hasn’t increased your sense of self worth.  On the surface maybe you feel strong, but there is a lot you can do now to rebuild your esteem and confidence back to the levels of a few years back.

 

For some Bulls, something that you started fairly recently (even a few months ago or beginning this year) is slowly going to present you with amazing opportunities for personal growth and fulfillment. For others there is an amazing opportunity waiting for you around the corner and by mid next year you will be positively soaring (Jupiter in Taurus in June – yeah!).

 

In the interim you have to find ways to assert your own needs without encroaching on others turf and recognizing “when to hold and when to fold” is a valuable lesson in diplomacy.  With the full moon on 21st November it’s THE perfect time to decide whether you want to live an autonomous existence or remain dependent on someone (or a situation). I have been urging you to put numero uno first for a change and concentrate on furthering your own ambitions and interests.  You may even distance yourself a bit from your usual associations as you question who among them is truly good for you.

 

This will be an interesting month in that there’ll be a life defining discussion around the full moon 21st November or in early December.  These kinds of discussions are generally over money and/or performance (yours or theirs) and it could be with your spouse, boss, family/in-laws, ex’s, – whatever permutation applies to you.   You will face great antagonism and it will be both highly uncomfortable and revealing but decisions will be made that will definitely change the status quo. You will be the classic Bull charging through but unlike the one in the ring (especially in any legal/bureaucratic dealings) you won’t be the sacrifice.

 

If you can pause to stop feeling like someone’s got you in their sights for a moment, pleasantly enough for those eligible, this is one of the best months of the year to find “the one”, (yes really!) so put your best foot forward and go get ‘em!

October 2010

At the moment you are vacillating between being very angry and frustrated and then light hearted and positive.  It’s a real yo-yo of emotions which indicates that you are not 100% settled or convinced about where you sit. This could be because loved ones are hot and cold and work colleagues are on and off making you feel uncertain; but in reality others “dispositions” are more of a reflection of your own seesawing mood swings.

   

Whilst you feel that there is much about your life that you are finding unsatisfactory, if you dig deep and look at your situation objectively, there is in reality one key issue whose affects flow onto all the other aspects of your life and if you could fix or change that one thing, your happiness quotient would soar.  October is the month that I urge you to do a “life stock taking” and do not hesitate to draw up a list of requests (not demands!) that you either make to others or to yourself. 

    

But you must ameliorate your day to day circumstances as long term dissatisfaction eats away at your self esteem without you even being aware of it.

  

It’s always hard when there are others involved, when you have to get them to see your side of the equation in order to gain improvement. If you don’t get at least an indication of improvement or preparedness to change then you have to make some hard calls and a large percentage will see a restructure for good, bad or “different” within their key relationships over the coming weeks. 

  

There appears to be simply more “work” or some additional pressure of some kind; this could translate to an extra challenge at work (someone is away, more hours, a promotion or a project) or you are more “hands-on” at home than usual and with less support.   Consequently you will feel tired and worn out by month’s end so focus on diet, sleep and health overall.

   

The key thing is to beware the bête noir that has been the spectre in your life for far too long, perhaps for many years.  You must get creative as to how to finally put an end to their influence once and for all as they are not only perpetually undermining you (whether you realize this or not), they will never genuinely have your best interests at heart. If this person is not immediately obvious to you, think hard as to whom it may be.

September 2010

Each month from now on will get more frustrating and chaotic until you manage to organize the additional workload that is now being placed upon you.  Now this might be in a new job, old job, extra or existing family members or some extra curricula activity that you have taken on board. Offload as much as you can, if you are a women try and get your housekeeping done or child minding by a friend/relative, whatever it takes to give yourself a break so that you can cope with your load.  Make sure you surround yourself with a support infrastructure and no more looking after someone who is a drain on your time and resources.

 

It didn’t help with Mercury in retrograde (for another couple of weeks) which made you trip up and miss key elements/deadlines over the past couple of weeks.  You will not give up though as you have been overcome of late with a desire to really make your mark in the world. If you haven’t got the right qualifications, it’s back to school.  Maybe you are learning a language or undertaking some creative hobby but you are doing more and broadening your catalogue of skills.

 

If you are married or in a long standing relationship, your love life has been hard going: disagreements and some staleness with not a lot of fun.  Thankfully from this month onwards that will pass and you can kick back and start enjoying each other again.  That said there will be some heated exchanges this month, when what you say is misconstrued (Mercury retrograde) and romance will be flat.

 

Let go of the control factor and try and maintain the peace as best you can and watch what comes out of your mouth otherwise there will be misunderstandings in a large proportion of your interpersonal relationships (including friends et al). Use the second half of the month to kiss and make up.

 

In fact this is one of the best months of the year (last two weeks) to make pacts with those who you are out of favour with and really make positive headway with those you adore.

August 2010

Everyone in the world has problems to deal with at some time or another.  In fact daily hassles are a “daily” event and imagine how boring life would be if everything was easy.  Yes you have things that rile you at the moment but try and deal with them yourself.  Running off to others, especially your nearest and dearest only adds unnecessary weight to their lives and you wouldn’t want their burdens upon you right now would you?

 

You are so keen to make changes in your life but are they changes in the right spirit?  Weigh up all your options right now to make sure you are not racing down a path that really has expired or because of knee jerk reactions.  Think beyond the immediate and consider if you really wish to bring upon yourself something that will only add a burden rather than alleviate it. 

 

The central theme here is not what the options are or the changes are that you want to pursue but how you go about it.  Are you behaving in an honorable manner and dealing with others as you wish you are dealt with yourself.  Are you above reproach and have you been always truthful in your interactions.  If someone is being very unreasonable ask yourself why are they doing this and what the ramifications are if you engage or desist.  Ask yourself if the problem go away by its own accord for example.  I sense the problem with you is one about control; you like to have it and will fight (sometimes quite unreasonably) to retain it.  This month you really should be prepared to compromise in order to get the best results.

 

By month’s end there will be another entirely different dimension to your world that will be so pleasant and refreshing that will make your current irritation pale into insignificance (if you’ve handled it correctly). 

 

Use this month to improve the lives of others, mend bridges, compromise and above all surrender your need for absolute control and you will gain far more in the long run.   There is an entirely new set of plans for your future being drawn up right now and they look pretty enticing.

July 2010

 

I think you will enjoy July. Mars is giving you a bit of zing to your existence mainly the enjoyable stuff so you should be feeling entertained and engaged in life and if you’re not having a ball per se, at the very least you’ll feel connected.   
 
It’s good to regroup because shortly you will be entering a working frenzy, you will be the rat on the treadmill, but it will all be for you – or at least to your benefit and betterment. 
 
It will however be both taxing and significant (no froth and bubble or walk in the park) but, you have a valid opportunity to demonstrate to everyone that you have the chops to really make it. Self discipline and tenacity are your key strengths so you have an advantage already!
 
I believe you are already immersing yourself in some activity aside from your main job or main activities and you’d like to see this through to fruition - and this I see most definitely happening. During this month you will have real intuition and an almost psychic insight about the overall picture being unveiled before you regarding a certain situation and you will be right on the money with your thoughts and ideas.   It’s not a fluke, but rather a result of research and contemplation. 
 
There will be a successful conclusion and your role in the outcome both acknowledged and applauded. In fact this month will herald a change in your thought processes. You old way of doing things will be rearranged or dispensed with and you’ll introduce a new routine into your existence virtually overnight.
 
In fact this month there will be little that you feel you cannot overcome. You can draw on seemingly endless reserves of energy and whatever restrictions that may be thrown in your path will be dealt with so easily you will barely notice them.  You will be feeling particularly courageous, feisty and most importantly of all have a real belief in yourself and your inherent skills and abilities.   The cosmos is providing the energy and support to dispel self doubts of old and these will start to give way to new aspirations and new goals.  
 
Carpe diem! (You will be rewarded!!).

June 2010

 

You will begin to feel a bit ratty shortly and won’t be quite able to put your finger on why. I wouldn’t be surprised to find that your mind will be whirring over scenarios past and present (mainly past) and that you begin dreaming more and quite vividly. This is your subconscious rising to the top and any dark or unhappy memories are most likely to surface now, to annoy you all over again. You could be dwelling on past hurts or just feeling a bit moody or grumpy without really knowing why. 
 
Over the next few months there will be emotional pressure. Not necessarily of the heartbreaking kind, although no-one is exempt from that all the time, but more likely from the disappointed, offended or just “put out” kind and when you are feeling a tad unstable think of this advice and try and remain centered rather than disconnected and withdrawn. You’ll find yourself lying low for no reason that you can readily explain to anyone - other than needing “quiet time”.
 
I feel that some of this has to do with the fact that you’ve come to a slow realization of certain things in your life that need changing – knowledge is power but can also be what we don’t really want to acknowledge – who needs realism?
 
Self observation is really the key now. You’re also probably frustrated by how slow it’s going to be to change your situation but it’s a waiting game at the moment. You experienced progress for the first five months of the year irritatingly this will appear to reverse for a while, but there is not a lot you can do about that.
 
There are a couple of “cosmos” events after the first week in June which will provide some thrills and spills and you would be wise to pay particular attention to all matters which are concealed, hidden or “behind the scenes”.
 
Travel should feature but you may have to contend with 11th hour changes to a plan(s) in addition to other unrelated decisions during the month that could throw a spanner in the works. Almost all Bulls will have at least one (or two) opportunities to do something quite “different” to the usual routine. Yeah!

May 2010

 

Everyone loves a birthday and apart from pressies and heartfelt wishes you always feel better and look better around this time. It’s to do with the stars.
It also means that you will have invites and phone calls and get togethers, certainly more than usual and you feel quite in demand. In fact around this time you struggle to juggle all the existing obligations as you try and fit in all the demands on your time ….but for a rare change you put your personal life ahead of everything else. 
 
Ah wonderful. But…you know that this is irregular and for a select period and the passage leading up to and afterwards will be the same old, same old. 
So what are you going to do about it? Where do you start on your long list of the changes you’d like to make in an ideal world?  Beginnings and ending are figuring in your chart which is enough to send most Taureans screaming of the see their psych (although they are in fact among the last people to consider doing this…) but I sense a new page is turning, even a whole new chapter! 
Before you can do this there is a complicated matter, most likely involving family: children, in-laws spouse, which needs resolving although God knows how. It’s certainly not an ideal set up.
That’s the first thing. Secondly you need to sort out what you want. You’ve been consistent and constant haven’t you whilst everyone else has chopped and changed switched sides and loyalties. You’ve been swept up in other peoples affairs which has impacted on you – only because you are in the loop.
 
So when are you going to start being the anarchist? Or at the very least transform yourself and change your existence because you can’t honestly say it’s ideal, can you? Or can you justify it by saying well it may not be ideal but it will do and it’s functional?  (Tip from SB it will be easier to begin this process at month’s end when your head is in the right space). 
 
Sadly if you don’t proactively change life to the way you want it, it will be done for you but it won’t be easy as its hard letting go of the past. After all it’s the only life or setup that you’ve known for such a long time. 
 
It’s the benevolent Cosmos giving you what it knows you need – even if it doesn’t feel like that at the time – and financially you are heading into a good position so that must be some consolation.
 
This of course won’t happen overnight…but it will happen. What starts now is the beginnings of a quest for personal happiness and contentment and it will continue on for many years to come (a la Man of La Mancha). This is big picture stuff but you will end up feeling free as a bird.
 
To dream the impossible dream…

April 2010

   

Go on, admit it.  There is nothing worse than feeling invisible.  Any self respecting Taurus (if they are completely honest) likes to wiggle and strut and be admired - or at the very least noticed! 

It seems that not only has no-one paid much attention to you of late, they seemingly don’t care at all about what you think, feel or have to say. 

 

Feeling a tad “unloved”?  Don’t fret unnecessarily.  If you paid heed to my weekly stars you are taking this down time as an opportunity to affect a little makeover, and get a few things done (there are always chores and projects to finalize if you have extra time) so think of this passage as a “gift” rather than doing time in a gulag in Siberia.

Venus is about to jump into your backyard and make you so appealing to ALL (well at least for the next few weeks) so make hay while you can and ask all those favors you’ve been putting off and close as many deals as you can (hint: these can also be of the romantic kind).

 

Your communications may be a bit haywire so pay attention to this area with Mercury running amok (or at least backwards) and don’t write or say anything until you have really thought it through first.

Bulls are patient and always look long term anyway (no immediate gratification for you n’est pas) and if there are hiccups this month you are unfazed as you are looking way ahead anyway.  Ever tried chess? 

Continue looking at the big picture and if you have the Ace up your sleeve (which I suspect you do) you will come up trumps in any “tricky situations”. If it’s a Mexican standoff between you and someone else or a test of strength of character, you already have the Blue ribbon in that regard. 

 

Remain sanguine and flash those Bovine eyes on cue and you’ll prevail.

March 2010

On the one hand you should be socializing like mad at the moment.  Invitations will arrive almost daily and it appears you are on everyone’s guest list.  By month’s end you may have made some new friends or at least established a few extra contacts maybe even an amour..…..so what’s wrong with that so far?

You continue to go all out for folk but feel a bit disconnected at the same time and to be truthful a lot of those associations feel a tad “uncertain” and political.

Which side of the fence everyone’s on and who to back and who to support or not to…or worse, the group may be thinking this about you and it shows.  You can feel it.

You’re feeling touchy with your family and in a defensive mood.  If you perceive even the hint of opposition to your plans or if anyone dared to question your way of life, look out and any perceived opposition will have you seeing red.  Unfortunately whilst you may feel that you’re taken advantage of and unappreciated, you in fact were the one who not only allowed it to happen in the first place, but fought for it.

You may be thinking about changing homes or the way in which you live and if eligible …a friend of someone who knows someone who you know…could be not only your new course for the future, but your bid for freedom as well. 

Whilst you love to maintain the status quo and hold onto everything and everyone under the misguided idea that it provides you with a safety net, in reality all it provides you with is false assurance and hollow kudos and keeps you from moving forward with your life.

The ball is in your court to set yourself free and only you can figure that one out.

Feb 2010

This months forecast is a closer look at Pluto in Capricorn.

Pluto in 2010 will be transiting your 9th house of education, legalities and foreign travel.  You will learn new things during this transit, it is a maturing time and your outlook and views will alter dramatically.  You will travel a lot and much of your learning will occur from your experiences, not through formal studies and you will be transformed and regenerated through travel and learning from different cultures and traditions.  These experiences will be profound and you will also become fixated on find the meaning of life and expanding the mind.

Use your innate ability to advance your strongest philosophical and social beliefs through public speaking, political groups and media.  Beware of taking on authority figures or getting involved in power plays which could result in legal disputes.

Don’t be afraid however as it is overall a fortunate period during which your ability to see the bigger picture of your life will be empowered so that you can manifest your aspirations and live your true destiny.
