In general a Taurus will choose money and earning power over public esteem and prestige. A position that pays more – though it has less prestige – is preferred to a position with a lot of prestige but lower earnings. Many other signs do not feel this way, but a Taurus does, especially if there is nothing in his or her personal birth chart that modifies this. Taurus will pursue glory and prestige only if it can be shown that these things have a direct and immediate impact on their wallet.
Love and Relationships
In love, the Taurus-born likes to have and to hold. They are the marrying kind. They like commitment and they like the terms of a relationship to be clearly defined. More importantly, Taurus likes to be faithful to one lover, and they expect that lover to reciprocate this fidelity. When this doesn’t happen, their whole world comes crashing down. When they are in love Taurus people are loyal, but they are also very possessive. They are capable of great fits of jealousy if they are hurt in love.
Taurus is satisfied with the simple things in a relationship. If you are involved romantically 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 2017
Major Trends
Uranus has been in your spiritual 12th house for many years now. This is creating change – and much experimenting – in your spiritual life and practice. Many of you have changed teachers, teachings and practices over the years and the trend is continuing.
Since Uranus is also your career planet, this transit indicates a growing idealism about your career and life work. Just being successful and prominent in your profession is not enough for you. It leaves you vaguely dissatisfied. You need to be involved in things that really matter, that truly benefit others and the whole planet.
In a year or two Uranus will enter your sign and will stay there for many years, bringing dramatic and sudden change into your life. Taurus folk are not very comfortable with change. They love the status quo and routine – it’s predictable and stable. But very soon now you’ll have to learn to be comfortable with change. We’ll discuss this further in 2018.
Jupiter has been in your 6th house of health and work since September last year and will be here for most of the year ahead – until October 10. This is a good health message. If there have been any pre-existing conditions you should hear good news about them. This also indicates that dream job opportunities are coming to you. If you hire others you’re expanding the workforce. Children and children figures in your life are prospering.
Jupiter will enter your 7th house of love on October 11. For singles this indicates love and serious relationships – perhaps even marriage. For those already attached it brings new friends and an expanded – more active – social life.
Your religious beliefs have had a real testing over the past two years, and this continues in the year ahead. This is usually not pleasant, but it is good. It forces you to rethink and re-evaluate these beliefs; in many cases they get modified or even discarded. This will be complete by the end of the year.
Saturn’s move into your 9th house at the end of the year (on December 21) affects mostly college-level students. They have to work harder at their studies. They need more discipline. They have to succeed in school by sheer merit, without any ‘gamesmanship’.
Your areas of greatest interest this year are health and work (until October 10); love and romance (from October 11 onwards); personal transformation, personal reinvention, sex and occult studies (until December 21); religion, higher education, foreign travel; groups, group activities, the online world; and spirituality.
Your paths of greatest fulfilment this year are children, fun and creativity (until April 29), home, family and emotional wellness (from April 29 onwards); health and work (until October 10); love and romance (from October 11 onwards).
Health
(Please note that this is an astrological perspective on health and not a medical one. In days of yore there was no difference, both of these perspectives were identical. Now there could be quite a difference. For a medical perspective, please consult your doctor or health practitioner.)
Health looks excellent this year. Until October 10 there are no long-term planets in stressful aspect to you. And even after October 11, only Jupiter will be in stressful alignment, and he is not a maleficent kind of planet. In addition, your health house is very strong until October 10. So your attention is focused here. You’re on the case. In fact, if anything, you might be too much on the case – more than is necessary. Often this leads to a tendency to magnify trifling problems into big ones.
As we mentioned earlier, pre-existing conditions should be much improved this year. Your health is basically good, but there will be periods in the year when your health and energy are less good. These things come from planetary transits; they are temporary things and not trends for the year. When the challenging transits pass, normal health and energy return.
Good though your health is, it can be made even better. Pay attention to the following:
The neck and throat. These are always important for a Taurus. Regular neck massages will be a potent ‘pick me up’ and a preventive for future problems. Craniosacral therapy is also good for the neck.
The kidneys and hips. These are also always important for a Taurus. Venus, the ruler of these areas, is your health planet. Regular hip massage (and the buttocks too) should be incorporated into the health regime. A herbal kidney cleanse might be a good idea if you feel under the weather.
The liver and thighs. These only became important since September 2016, but they remain so for most of the year ahead – until October 10. Regular thigh massage will be good. A herbal liver cleanse would also help.
Since these are the most vulnerable health areas in your chart this year, problems, if they happened (God forbid) would most likely begin here. Thus keeping them healthy and fit is sound preventive medicine.
As Venus is such a fast-moving planet – she will move through every area of your chart in a given year – there are many short-term health trends that depend on where Venus is at any given time and the aspects she receives. This is best covered in the monthly reports.
Since Venus is both the ruler of your Horoscope and your health planet – she serves double duty in your chart – there is a strong connection between health and personal appearance. Your state of health instantly reflects itself in your personal appearance. Good health will do more for your looks than hosts of cosmetics, perfumes and powders.
Jupiter is the ruler of your 8th house of transformation. Thus his position in your house of health gives a tendency towards surgery. This is often seen as the ‘quick fix’ to a problem. Sometimes it is, sometimes not. Detox regimes should be explored first – you can get good results with these.
Home and Family
Your 4th house of home and family wasn’t strong last year and is not strong in the year ahead either. This can be seen as a kind of contentment with things as they are. It tends to the status quo. You have no pressing need to make dramatic changes here.
Of course, there are going to be periods of excitement and family drama. Every year there are at least two Solar Eclipses and this year is no different. There is a Solar Eclipse on February 26 and on August 21. Since the Sun is your family planet, these eclipses produce important changes. Perhaps there is some hidden problem in the home, perhaps a family member has some hidden problem or grievance. The eclipse will force these things to the surface so that you can deal with them. This year, you’re also affected by a Lunar Eclipse (February 11) that occurs in your 4th house. This will bring more of what we mentioned above. But these are temporary things that soon pass. And when they do, it’s back to the status quo. We will cover the effect of the eclipses in more detail in the monthly reports.
Siblings and sibling figures in your life are likely to move this year. The move seems happy (it could be job related). A parent or parent figure is also likely to move – after October 11. Children or children figures are not advised to move, however, though they might want to. They seem more depressed this year. Counselling therapies or meditation will be a big help to them, but a move will not do much for their psychological state. Grandchildren (if you have them) have been moving around a lot in recent years, and could do so this year too. They seem emotionally restless. Even if they don’t actually move they will renovate their existing home or spend much time in other places. It will be ‘as if’ they have moved.
If you’re planning to redecorate or beautify the home in cosmetic kinds of ways – i.e. to repaint, or change the curtains, or buy objets d’art for the home – July 22 to September 20 is a good time. If you’re planning major repairs – construction projects – July 20 to September 5 is a good time.
The health of a parent or parent figure is much improved over previous years. He or she could benefit from detox regimes. He or she has a tendency to surgery. Children and children figures will benefit from vigorous exercise, head, face and scalp massage. Siblings and sibling figures need a disciplined daily regime – more attention to the liver, thighs, spine, knees, teeth and bones will be very helpful.
Finance and Career
Your money house hasn’t been prominent for many years now. You are always focused on money, but of late, less so than usual, Taurus. This too I read as a good thing. It shows contentment with things as they are. There are no pressing needs to make dramatic changes. You sort of take prosperity for granted – which is as it should be. However, if financial problems arise, lack of attention (taking your eyes off the ball) is a likely cause. You’ll have to force yourself to focus more.
In spite of the empty money house I expect your year to be prosperous. There are no major financial impediments. You have a lot of financial freedom. Taurus is free to be Taurus – prosperous. We mentioned earlier that there are lucrative job opportunities this year. Also, those of you running a business will be hiring more people. This is not a message of poverty.
After October 11, when Jupiter enters your 7th house, there is prosperity for the current love, spouse or partner. He or she will have substantial financial windfalls and many happy opportunities. You will socialize more with ‘money people’ – rich people. If you have good ideas, it seems easy to attract investors.
Mercury, your financial planet, is a very fast-moving planet, as our regular readers know. Only the Moon moves faster than him. In a given year he will move through every sector of your horoscope. This shows that earnings and earnings opportunities can come to you in many ways and through many different kinds of people – depending on where Mercury is at any given time. These short-term trends are best dealt with in the monthly reports.
Mercury will be retrograde four times this year (as he was last year too). This is unusual. Normally he travels backwards only three times a year. So, this year more homework, more reviews of your financial goals, strategy and investments are necessary. More so than usual. When Mercury is in retrograde motion the financial thinking is not what it should be, thus the most important thing is to gain mental clarity and resolve your doubts. When this happens, you’ll be able to make good moves when Mercury starts to move forward again. This year Mercury’s retrograde periods are January 1–8; April 9 to May 3; August 11 to September 5 and December 3–23. We will discuss this further in the monthly reports.
Your 10th house of career is also empty this year, indicating that career is not a major focus. Again this should be read in a good way. You seem content with things as they are and have no pressing need for change. Changes will definitely happen – Uranus, your career planet, is the planet of change – but they are likely to be happy. As has been the case for many years now, it is good to enhance your career by being involved in charitable and altruistic causes. These are good for their own sakes, but will also cement your professional image. Important career contacts will also be made. Your technological skills and online activities in general will enhance the career too.
Siblings and sibling figures will have a stable financial year, although the eclipses (as mentioned above) will force changes in their financial thinking and strategy. The spouse, partner or current love interest will prosper, as we have mentioned. He or she has excellent financial intuition until October 11. Parents and parent figures also have a stable financial year. Children and children figures are prospering. Grandchildren (if you have them) seem content with things.
Love and Social Life
Both 2015 (the latter part) and 2016 were good love years. Many of you have married or entered into serious kinds of relationships. Socially things have been quiet since last September, with no major developments one way or another. This too is a good signal. There is basic contentment here. This is the case until October 10. But after that Jupiter enters into your 7th house of love and marriage – heating up and expanding the love life.
Those of you involved in an existing relationship might decide to take it a step further and tie the knot. Those of you still unattached will start meeting ‘marriage material’ – people you would consider marrying. There will be many opportunities for serious relationships. The love life will bloom well into next year too.
Pluto, the generic ruler of sex, is your love planet. Jupiter, the actual ruler of sex in your chart will be in your 7th house. Need we have a clearer message? The sexual magnetism seems the most important thing to you. This is the primary allurement. Wealth doesn’t hurt, but seems secondary to that. Good sex will cover many sins in a relationship or marriage, and problems here could threaten the relationship. If problems arise in the marriage or relationship, this area is what will need fixing.
Good sex alone, no matter how good, is not enough to make a marriage work. Even the best of sexual chemistries will have a life span of about a year. Then they start to get a bit jaded. Other compatibilities need to be there.
Pluto, your love planet, is in your 9th house of religion and philosophy and Jupiter (the occupant of your 7th house) is the generic ruler of these things. So, the Horoscope is saying that you need a good philosophical compatibility. It doesn’t mean that you have to agree on every point, but it’s important that you share a similar outlook on life, the same religious values, the same feelings of what life is all about – its meaning and purpose.
There is an old saying: ‘people who pray together, stay together’. This is certainly true in your case. Problems in a relationship can be worked through in this way. It would also be good to take foreign trips together or take classes together as a couple. The philosophical harmony – the harmony of the Higher Mental bodies – needs to be strengthened.
This strong 9th-house connection in love shows other things too. Foreign countries are likely venues for romantic meetings. So is your place of worship or college. Religious or educational functions and gatherings bring romantic opportunity. People in your place of worship seem eager to make introductions.
Often with these kinds of aspects one falls in love with the pastor, minister or professor. There is an attraction for highly educated people – mentor types. You like people you can learn from.
If you are working on your first or second marriage there is love this year and marriage opportunity. If you are working on your third marriage, your prospects improve after December 21. Next year – 2018 – will bring marriage opportunities.
Self-Improvement
The spiritual life – especially the abstract variety – is generally not that important to a Taurus. Taurus is down to earth and practical. Taurus sees life on earth – even the mundane things – to be spiritual. (You’re probably right too!) You feel close to the Divine when you are physically comfortable and at ease. But over the past six or seven years this has begun to change. The spiritual life has not only been important but active and full of dynamic change. Very experimental. Very interesting. Uranus, ensconced in your 12th house has seen to that. Your career is partly responsible for this. In order to get to where you want to go, your spiritual understanding must increase. And, in many cases, people involved in your career are on a spiritual path and this has enhanced your interest. No matter, the Divine knows exactly what will attract you.
With Mars as your spiritual planet you like the path of action. You like to express your spiritual ideals in positive actions. Silent meditation is generally not for you. You like to be doing something – building an orphanage, hospital or church. Feeding hungry people. Doing practical acts of charity. Being there for someone in hospital. This tendency is even more pronounced these days and it’s very good. But along with this the Horoscope is indicating some scientific, intellectual background too. Uranus is the planet of science. A scientific approach to the spiritual life will not diminish your actions, but enhance them. You will know why you’re doing what you’re doing. Your faith will be buttressed by knowledge.
Uranus rules astrology. Astrology has a very strong spiritual basis to it. We call it esoteric astrology. It is a philosophy of the stars. Thus this is a valid spiritual path these days. Jnana yoga, hermetic science and kabbala would also be interesting. These are rational scientific approaches.
Uranus in your 12th house shows ‘spiritual experimentalism’. This has its good and bad points. On the positive side, you learn what path, what approach works for you through trial, error and observation – the scientific method. On the negative side it can make a person a ‘spiritual faddist’, running after the latest fads and trends, jumping from one to another. Spiritual progress takes persistence. If you jump around too quickly you only delay yourself.
The main challenge this year is integrating spirituality with a worldly career. Everyone finds their own personal solution to this. Some people opt for a spiritual-type career. They work for a charity or start a non-profit organization and work at it full time. Some people pursue a worldly career and start a non-profit business on the side. Some people get involved in charitable works while involved in a worldly career. You will find your solution for yourself. There are no rules about this.

It looks like a happy and successful month ahead, Taurus, enjoy. Your 9th house – a happy-go-lucky kind of house – is strong until the 19th so there are happy travel opportunities occurring. You might not actually travel, but the opportunity is there. Life is expansive. The horizons are widened. Students at college level should do well.
Your financial planet Mercury will spend most of the month in your 9th house – a good financial signal. It indicates expanded earnings. The only issue is that Mercury will be retrograde until the 8th so there might be delays and glitches involved in this expansion. Take more care in your financial dealings until the 8th. Read the fine print in all contracts very carefully – and it would be better not to sign them over that period. Avoid major purchases or investment decisions then. By the 13th, as Mercury re-enters your 9th house – this time in forward motion – most financial perplexities will be resolved. And earnings will happen faster.
On the 19th the Sun will cross your Mid-heaven and enter your 10th house of career. You enter a yearly career peak and much progress will be made. You have good support from the family, and the status of the family as a whole seems raised.
The Sun’s solstice happened last month. This month Mars and Venus have their solstices, around the same time. With Mars it is from the 27th to the 31st, with Venus is from the 29th to the 31st. This suggests a pause – a personal pause and a pause in your spiritual and charitable life – and then a change of direction. These pauses are healthy. Nothing seems to get done outwardly, but inwardly the ground is being prepared for the future.
The bottom half of your chart is almost totally empty. Only one long-term planet is there. So the upper half is very dominant. The focus will be – and should be – on the career and outer objectives. Home and family issues can be downplayed right now.
We see the same situation with the Eastern and Western sectors of the chart. There is only one long-term planet in the Western sector. The Eastern half is overwhelmingly dominant. Thus you’re in a period of personal independence. It is a time to have your way in life, a time for creating your own happiness. You have the power to create your destiny now, to be pro-active. If some condition irks you, make the necessary changes. Others will go along with you eventually.

Best Days for Career: 1, 2, 9, 10, 19, 20, 24, 25, 28
Health and energy have been less robust than usual since January 19. And this is the situation until the 18th of the month ahead. Your overall health is very good this year, as we have mentioned, but this particular period is less good, so get more rest when possible.
You’re still very much in a yearly career peak and much progress is being made. When Mercury crosses your Mid-heaven on the 7th, pay rises can happen (official or unofficial ones). The authority figures in your life are favourably disposed to your financial goals.
Mercury’s speedy motion this month indicates good financial confidence. You cover a lot of territory. Financial progress seems swift. In general the pace of events is swifter than usual. All the planets are moving forward until the 6th, with 90 per cent of them in forward motion after that.
The main headline this month are two eclipses. This is guaranteed to shake things up and create some excitement. The Lunar Eclipse of the 11th (in America it’s on the 10th) occurs in your 4th house of home and family. This tends to bring personal – often life-changing – events and dramas to family members, parents or parent figures. It can bring a need for sudden repairs in the home. Cars and communication equipment get tested and might need replacement or repair. Siblings and neighbours are also affected here, so be patient with them this period. This eclipse affects you strongly (it’s in stressful alignment with the Sun), so reduce your schedule and avoid high-stress activities now.
The Solar Eclipse of the 26th will also impact on the home and family – every Solar Eclipse does. So there is a reinforcement of the previous eclipse. Important changes need to be made in the home and family relationships. You know what they are; the eclipse will force the issue. This eclipse affects Neptune, the ruler of your 11th house. So your high-tech gadgets – smart phones, computers, laptops and software – can play up. Repairs or replacements might be needed. Make sure important files are backed up.
There can be dramas in the lives of friends. The marriages (and social life in general) of children or children figures get tested. Bosses and parents or parent figures are forced to make important financial changes. This eclipse seems less stressful on you personally than the previous one, but it won’t hurt to take things a little easier anyway.
The month ahead is very spiritual too. Venus, the ruler of your Horoscope, enters your 12th house on the 3rd and spends the rest of the month there. Mars and Uranus are already in your spiritual house, so it is powerful this month. A good month to study spiritual literature, attend classes, seminars or workshops and spend more time on your spiritual practice.
March

Best Days for Career: 1, 10, 19, 20, 23, 24, 28
One of the main headlines this month is the retrograde of Venus. This begins on the 4th and continues until April 15. Since she is the ruler of your Horoscope, this can make you feel less confident. There is a lack of direction. It is interesting that this occurs during a period of strong independence and personal power. You have the energy and power you need for personal happiness, for having things your way, but you’re not sure what ‘your way’ is. Mars moves into your sign on the 10th and this increases your independence even further. You could be tempted to rush into changes that you’re not sure about – and this will cause headaches down the road. What good is achieving things if you only have to undo them later on? Take the time to get clear on personal goals – how you want your body to be, what kind of look do you want to present to the world, what kind of regime you want to undertake, etc. Take your time. When clarity comes – and it will – you’ll be in a good position to put your ideas into action.
Since Venus is also your health planet, don’t rush into miracle diets or miracle therapies just yet. Study things further. Job seekers should study prospective offers more carefully too – and this applies to those of you who hire others. Get the facts. Get mentally clear. Resolve all doubts.
Health is excellent this month, but should you feel under the weather head, face and scalp massage will be excellent remedies. You respond well to spiritual-type therapies too. If you feel under the weather see a spiritual healer.
The month ahead is a spiritual month. Not only is your 12th house the strongest in your chart, but the ruler of your 12th house – Mars – will be in your 1st house (a prominent position) from the 10th onwards. Spiritual interests – meditation, contemplation, journaling, the study of sacred scripture – come naturally these days. Those of you already on a spiritual path will make great progress. Those of you who are not will just feel more idealistic for no apparent reason.
The financial planet will move into your 12th house on the 13th and spend the rest of the month there. The financial intuition will be excellent. Mercury’s conjunction with Neptune on the 4th and 5th also brings good financial intuition. When such intuition happens it rarely seems ‘rational’ at the time – it is only later that we see how rational it was.
Mercury will conjunct Uranus on the 26th and 27th. This brings sudden, unexpected financial good. It can happen via the career or through parents or parent figures.
