but are still likely in the year ahead. Sometimes people don’t actually move but acquire an additional home. These are happy things. There is good fortune in the purchase or sale of a home and in the residential real estate field in general.
The family circle gets enlarged this year (and it could have happened last year too). Generally this is through marriage or births. But often one meets people who are like family – people who play this kind of role in the life.
As we have mentioned, Taurus women of childbearing age are much more fertile than usual. The whole year ahead is like this.
Parents and parent figures in your life are prospering this year and seem more generous with you. Family support, in general, is good. The children or children figures in your life become prosperous this year too – especially after August 11. If they are very young they receive expensive, big ticket items. If they are older they travel more and live the high life.
Siblings and sibling figures are having a status quo kind of year. They seem basically content where they are. A lunar eclipse on April 4 could shake things up a bit, but this need not result in a move. Parents and parent figures are staying put this year – children too. Children in your life might feel cramped in their home but a move is not advisable. There are delays, delays, delays.
Moves for you, Taurus, have good aspects until August 11. Renovations – especially major ones – are good until September 25, while redecorating or beautifying the home is good from June 5 to July 19.
In the year ahead there will be two solar eclipses – one on March 20 and the other on September 13. These will tend to cause short-term disturbance in the home and family. Family members will be more temperamental during those periods and it is good to have more patience with them.
Finance and Career
Money is always important to a Taurus, but this year less so than usual. Your 2nd money house is not strong. On the positive side you have more freedom to shape this area as you will. The cosmos is not obstructing you. On the other hand, reduced interest tends towards the status quo. You seem basically content with finance and have no need to make major dramatic changes.
Taurus people have a naturally good feel for real estate. The basic instincts are sound and this year this feeling is better than usual – especially in the residential real estate area. There is good fortune here – especially until August 11. I also like industries that cater to children – toy makers, games developers and the entertainment industry. You have a good feeling for this from August 11 onwards.
As we have mentioned earlier, family support seems unusually strong this year.
Your financial planet, Mercury, is very fast moving. Only the Moon moves faster than him. Thus earnings and earning opportunities come to you in a variety of ways and through a variety of people and situations. It all depends on where Mercury is at any given time and the kind of aspects he receives. These short-term trends are best covered in the monthly reports.
Jupiter’s move into Leo last July was very good for the career. September 2014 was exceptionally good. There were promotions and pay rises, either with the present company or a new one, and there was more recognition for your professional achievements and perhaps even honours or awards. There is more of this in the year ahead. March and June 2015 look especially strong for career.
Generally career elevation translates into higher earnings. But earnings don’t seem the main consideration for you. Rather, they are just a side effect.
There have been many career changes over the past few years, and perhaps a few ‘near death’ experiences in the career. But things look more stable for the year ahead. Jupiter’s beautiful aspects to your career planet Uranus also indicate happy career opportunities that come to you.
Uranus has been in your spiritual 12th house for some years now. Thus (as we have written in past years) you are more idealistic about your career. Just making money and being successful is not enough for you. You want to do something that is meaningful, something that benefits the world as a whole. You want to feel ‘divine approval’ for your career path. This indicates that getting involved in charities and altruistic causes (causes that you believe in) will further your career. You make important connections through those activities. And in many cases, Taurus, you will actually opt for a spiritual career.
The career of a parent or parent figure will improve greatly this year. The past two years have been very challenging for this person. Sibling and sibling figures have experienced great career instability for some years now. Things will settle down a bit in the year ahead. Children and children figures have a static, stable kind of career year – though they seem prosperous.
The spouse, partner or current love needs to reorganize the finances this year. He or she needs to work harder for earnings than usual, to go the extra mile. He or she seems to be carrying additional financial burdens – things that can’t be escaped.
Favourable numbers for finance are 1, 3, 6, 8 and 11.
Love and Social Life
As we have mentioned, the past two years have been difficult in the love department. Saturn has been camped out in your 7th house of love; marriages have been tested and many have broken up. However, those that survived are probably better than ever. By now the problems have been ironed out.
In general social activity has been less than it is usually. This is not punishment, but a reordering of the social life. The cosmos wants you to focus on quality relationships – even though they are fewer in number – rather than many relationships of a lukewarm nature.
Saturn will spend most of the year in your 8th house of regeneration. Thus the sex life and sexual expression is getting reordered. This means your libido might not be up to its usual standards. Here too the tendency will be to focus on the quality of sex rather than the quantity. If you are involved romantically with a Taurus allow more warm-up time – more foreplay – when having sex.
Singles have been dating less, but this will improve in the year ahead. There could be a social ‘dry spell’ though from June 15 to September 18.
With Saturn in your 7th house of love for the past two years, you could have been perceived as cold, aloof and unfeeling. You are not like this but this could have been the perception. So, it was necessary (and will still be necessary from June 15 to September 18 when Saturn retrogrades back into your 7th house) to make special efforts to project warmth and love to others.
While marriage doesn’t seem in the cards this year, there will be plenty of romantic opportunities of the ‘less serious’ kind: love affairs and amusement.
The love life will really come into its own after September 18. Saturn will be out of your 7th house and Jupiter will be making nice aspects to your love planet, Pluto. Serious romance can happen after September 18. Social activity will increase then too. The two-and-a-half-year dry spell will have made you better able to deal with real love when it comes. But there’s no need to rush into anything.
Your love planet has been in the sign of Capricorn for many years. Thus you are slow to fall in love. Love needs time to develop, and this is not a time for elopements or things of that nature. For singles, marriage is more likely in 2016 than this year.
In the year ahead you are emerging from a dark tunnel. You are not yet completely through it – this will happen after September 18. But even before this you can see light at the end of the tunnel.
Your love planet in the 9th house shows that you are attracted to refined, highly educated people. You are attracted to people you can learn from, and those from other lands. Romantic opportunities happen at religious or academic functions and perhaps in foreign lands. You have (and have had) the kind of aspects of someone who falls in love with a minister or professor.
Self-improvement
Your spiritual life is one of the most exciting areas of life this year. Indeed, this has been so for some years now
