with a Taurus there is no need for lavish entertainments and constant courtship. Give them enough love, food and comfortable shelter and they will be quite content to stay home and enjoy your company. They will be loyal to you for life. Make a Taurus feel comfortable and – above all – secure in the relationship, and you will rarely have a problem.
In love, Taurus can sometimes make the mistake of trying to control their partners, which can cause great pain on both sides. The reasoning behind their actions is basically simple: Taurus people feel a sense of ownership over their partners and will want to make changes that will increase their own general comfort and security. This attitude is OK when it comes to inanimate, material things – but is dangerous when applied to people. Taurus needs to be careful and attentive to this possible trait within themselves.
Home and Domestic Life
Home and family are vitally important to Taurus. They like children. They also like a comfortable and perhaps glamorous home – something they can show off. They tend to buy heavy, ponderous furniture – usually of the best quality. This is because Taurus likes a feeling of substance in their environment. Their house is not only their home but their place of creativity and entertainment. The Taurus’ home tends to be truly their castle. If they could choose, Taurus people would prefer living in the countryside to being city-dwellers. If they cannot do so during their working lives, many Taurus individuals like to holiday in or even retire to the country, away from the city and closer to the land.
At home a Taurus is like a country squire – lord (or lady) of the manor. They love to entertain lavishly, to make others feel secure in their home and to encourage others to derive the same sense of satisfaction as they do from it. If you are invited for dinner at the home of a Taurus you can expect the best food and best entertainment. Be prepared for a tour of the house and expect to see your Taurus friend exhibit a lot of pride and satisfaction in his or her possessions.
Taurus people like children but they are usually strict with them. The reason for this is they tend to treat their children – as they do most things in life – as their possessions. The positive side to this is that their children will be well cared for and well supervised. They will get every material thing they need to grow up properly. On the down side, Taurus can get too repressive with their children. If a child dares to upset the daily routine – which Taurus loves to follow – he or she will have a problem with a Taurus parent.
Horoscope for 2015
Major Trends
Uranus has been in your 12th house of spirituality for some years now and will be there for a few more years yet. This indicates dramatic spiritual change – interior change. It might not be visible to others as yet, but in due course it will be. You are in a period of great spiritual experimentation and discovery.
Saturn has been in your 7th house of love for the past two years. This has been a challenging period for the love life. Those who are married have had their relationships tested, while those who are singles most likely stayed single. There have been disappointments with friends and love relationships have broken up. Happily things are improving in this department as Saturn moves out of your 7th house for most of the year (he will retrograde back in for only three months and then leave permanently). There’s more on this later.
Saturn will spend most of 2015 in your 8th house of transformation and regeneration. This shows that the spouse, partner or current love is having financial challenges and needs to consolidate and re-order their finances. It also shows a need to bring the libido under more control and not to overdo things.
Jupiter entered your 4th house in July last year, and will be there until August 11 this year. This shows happiness in home and family affairs, with good family support and happy moves or renovations. You are in a period of great psychological growth and progress. More details later.
Jupiter enters your 5th house of creativity and fun on August 11. This heralds an enjoyable, happy kind period for the rest of the year. You will have the wherewithal and the opportunity to explore the rapturous side of life. It shows fertility for Taurus people of childbearing age and prosperity and success for the children or children figures in your life.
Your important areas of interest in the year ahead will be home and family (until August 11); children, fun and personal creativity (from August 11 onwards); love and romance (from June 15 to September 18); sex, other people’s money, debt and personal transformation (January 1 to June 15 and September 18 to the end of the year); religion, philosophy, metaphysics and higher education; friends, groups and group activities; and spirituality.
Your paths of greatest fulfilment in the year ahead will be home and family (until August 11); children, fun and personal creativity (from August 11 onwards); and health and work (until November 13).
Health
(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference, these perspectives were identical. But these days there could be quite a difference. For a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)
If health has been good over the past two years it should get even better this year. Only one long-term planet – Saturn – has been stressing you out, and Saturn now (for the most part) is away from his stressful aspect. If there have been health problems you should hear good news this year.
The north node of the Moon spends most of the year in your 6th house of health. This shows good fortune in this area. However, sometimes it indicates an ‘excessive’ focus on health – even where it isn’t warranted. The problem here could be hypochondria, magnifying little minor things, into big things. Sometimes this aspect leads to ‘health fanaticism’. This focus should be directed properly towards healthy lifestyles and regimes.
Venus is both your personal planet and your health planet. This in itself shows that health is important to you and that you tend to focus attention here. It shows that your state of health immediately affects on your personal appearance. For you, good health is the best cosmetic there is. With this kind of aspect, if you feel under the weather you should do something that enhances your appearance: buy a new outfit, have your hair styled, or buy some nice accessory. You’ll start to feel better.
Good though your health is, you can make it even better. Give more attention to the neck and throat, and to the kidneys and hips (the reflexes to these areas are shown on the chart). The neck and throat are always important for Taurus. Regular neck massage is always powerful for you and craniosacral therapy is also good. Hips should be regularly massaged, and kidney detoxing is generally a good idea for you too.
Since Taurus rules the throat and the vocal chords, they respond very well to sound-oriented therapies – chanting mantras, singing and humming in the different keys. Chanting the five vowel sounds – A E I O U – will also be beneficial if you feel under the weather. (Try chanting them up and down the tones of the musical scales.)
Venus, as our regular readers know, is a fast-moving planet. During the year she will move through all the signs and houses of your Horoscope. Thus there are many short-term trends in your health depending on where Venus is and the aspects she receives. These are best covered in the monthly reports.
Siblings and sibling figures need to take on a strict health regime this year. They need to give more attention to the spine, knees, teeth and skin. Parents or parent figures could have had surgical procedures over the past few years and this trend continues in the year ahead. Detox regimes are good for them too. The spouse, partner or current love seems very experimental in health matters these days. They will benefit from alternative therapies.
Home and Family
Your 4th house of home and family has been powerful since July of last year as we have mentioned. Thus this area is a major (and happy) focus
