Taurus

Taurus (Apr. 20-May 20)

Ruling Planet: Venus

In 2010, with all the Universal signs pointing toward a cycle of renewal and transformation‑‑ it’s time to let the world know just how powerful and passionate the contemplative Bull can be.

Don’t worry if the first few months of the New Year seem to move at a snail’s pace. You are laying the foundation for an exciting growth in your career, changes in relationships and perhaps your lifestyle.

Saturn’s move in with social Libra will increase the probability of a career, job or lifestyle change and you could see the way this Cosmic wind is blowing between May and August when, the two opposing forces “status quo” Saturn and, change‑or‑bust Uranus face off. Your tendency to hold onto situations you have outgrown will be challenged but, you are a pragmatist, and will come to realize that “Change” is the magic key that opens new doors of opportunity and progress.

This year your solar house of friendship is brilliant. Take advantage by networking, joining social clubs and volunteer work. Any of which, will you enhance your reputation, expand your social circle, and introduce to certain people who can assist you in your career or personal aspirations.

And in fact, in May and June an unexpected meeting or introduction could become a wonderful catalyst for change. But if you feel that this Cosmic Train has passed you by, don’t despair ‑‑ Luck (another word for preparation and hard work) comes your way again in September, and as an added bonus ‑‑ Cupid will also be part of this autumn surprise. If you are in a committed relationship ‑‑ plan a second honeymoon. Single? A friend could suddenly become a surprising attraction, which will last a lifetime.

Certain financial or property matters may have to be reappraised in early June when, with the help of discriminating Scorpio you uncover unexpected or ignored problems, but by changing your perspective or expectations, you will see that the great physicist Niels Bohr was correct when he said: “Every great and deep difficulty bears in itself its own solution. It forces us to change our thinking in order to find it”. This year as you make important life altering decisions, you may want to remember the words of William Faulkner: “You don’t love because, you love despite; not for the virtues, but despite the faults.”
