Happy Birthday Taurus! April 20- May 20

This month is an interesting one. Coming up, Jupiter in Taurus make for some lucky energy for the Bull. Money and romance are at the fore for them. For the rest of us, we can see continuing relationship issues. We are still squaring off between the conservative, well-worn path, and the unique, autonomous route that Uranus in Aries brings us. This will be going on through 2015, on and off as Pluto in Capricorn continues to square Uranus in Aries. Also, the new Moon in Taurus makes for a perfect time for planting – seeds of plants as well as new business and romantic endeavors. Venus transiting Gemini this month means we are flirtations, and flit from person to person. We may not be completely on the up and up as multiple potential partners come into the picture. This could get especially sticky as Venus retrogrades in mid-May. The Grand Trine in Earth is shifting our material worlds, from how we monetarily value ourselves, to how we interact with currency and how we live in our homes or function with systems at work. Pluto’s retrograde motion gives us more opportunity to review where we’ve been on our expanding and ever-shifting journey through new structures and dealing with authority – ours and others’. May is for winding down and wrapping up the relationship stresses and issues we have had to visit one last time before we move on into our futures. Many of you have been ending relationships and marriages. This is because they no longer work for our needs. We have shifted our values, and as Saturn moves direct in 6 months, we will find our partners are closer to our desires, in interaction and intent. Lots of internal changes continue on an emotional and spiritual level as Neptune stays the course in Pisces. We are all (re)learning about our intuition and “inner voice”. Listen well, you will need it in the future.

The Month Ahead For Taurus

Taurus is ruled by Venus. Because Venus is the Goddess of Love, Taureans are purveyors of love. They love the sensuality of love. They resonate with anything tactile, melodious and beautiful. They are the sign of money and possessions as well. This may come from the fact they are an Earth sign, and the sign that needs to see the tangible evidence of its actions. They can be slow to change, and that makes them very stubborn. In the upcoming year, Taureans are in a good Jupiter cycle, which is in their sign until June11th. This means they are learning new ways of looking at money, love and their own natures. They may be inclined to travel or think about leaving their turf. This isn’t something Taurus takes lightly. They value the land, and are the original estate owners. Now, they may decide it is time to see if there are greener pastures in far away lands. They are the romantic sign, and that brings people to them readily. They know how to flatter to get their way. When Jupiter moves into Gemini in June, the money will come your way. Just be careful during the retrograde period, for you may fall prey to shysters and charlatans.
