2008 Horoscope Taurus

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) – 0 to 10 degrees Taurus: 

2008: Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2008 Overview. Opportunities to travel arise in 2008, and adventure tends to seek you out. Some restlessness is likely, mainly because of a deep feeling of wanderlust. You are more able than ever to see the “big picture” and less inclined to sweat the small stuff. Romantic relationships become more complicated this year. You may be asked to state your intentions or urged to get serious. You don’t like to get backed into a corner, so this can cause some strain. If single, you might establish a serious romance or meet a more mature or older lover. Concerns about children, who may be entering a new stage of development that requires more attention, are likely, if applicable. 2008 is a period in which your belief systems and personal philosophies are especially important to you, and you are more inclined to share them with those younger than you. It’s an excellent year for travel, higher education, communications, and higher learning. Fundamental changes in your domestic situation and career orientation are likely. A strong period for personal influence occurs in the last week of January and first week of February. A strong period for romance and fun occurs in August. Intense activity with a partner (or new partner) occurs in October.

2008 Details. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good will, is gracing your solar ninth house all year. Jupiter is building your faith and your belief system, whatever that may be, and you are likely to find much joy in so doing. Your higher mind is expanding, and you might be considering furthering your education (it’s a fabulous time to do so) or simply broadening your knowledge in a more informal manner. Taurus authors could get published this year, or reach a wider audience. Outdoor activities appeal more than ever, and an opportunity to travel somewhere exotic could drop into your lap. You have a greater desire to get away, expand your horizons, and broaden your life experiences. This influence often correlates with a time when you are more able to get away from the daily routine–more transportation options open, for example, or you have (or create) more free time to do so. Your ideals are higher than usual, teaching may be part of the picture, and your cultural and spiritual awareness increases. Others notice your more tolerant and broadminded nature. Confidence is the key–faith in the universe and in your ability to do the right thing instinctually will get you everywhere now. Believe! The best times for realizing the positive potentials of this Jupiter transit occur when Jupiter is direct and in your ninth house: January to the first week of May, and the second week of September through December.

Saturn moves through your solar fifth house all year. Saturn’s influence is rather somber and serious, and can be downright oppressive. You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed. While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent year for monetizing any personal hobby–turning it into a business, even if it’s on the side. If you have children, they may need more discipline than they previously did. Some Taureans will be welcoming children into their lives and discovering all of the responsibilities that come with it. Others who already have children may find that they’re at an age that requires more attention and discipline, or structure. In the romance department, Saturn’s influence can go either way. For some, romance may be somewhat lacking or a romantic relationship could be more practical than fun. For others, a romantic relationship stabilizes and becomes more serious. Some Taureans will meet a new romantic interest who is perhaps older or mature, thus meeting Saturn through a partner.

The influences of Uranus and Neptune are similar to that of last year. Uranus continues to affect your friendships and to enliven your social circle. Over the last few years, changes in your social circle have been occurring, and you are meeting new and unusual people. You may join a group that is devoted to metaphysics or some non-mainstream topic, if you haven’t already. You are drawn to people who are free-spirited at this point in your life. Friendships that are stodgy or limiting may very well be left behind. You have a strong ability to see each person for who they are as unique individuals, and this helps endear you to others. Neptune continues its transit through your career and reputation sector, putting a cloud over your goals and mystery surrounding your reputation. Your worldly goals may be watered down during this cycle, as you focus more on personal affairs. Others may not be seeing you for who you are, but rather what they’d like you to be. Try not to encourage this behavior, as tempting as it might be to do so.

Fundamental changes in the way you see yourself and how you treat others are in store for those of you born with an Ascendant of 0 to 1 degrees Taurus and those born April 21-22. Pluto trine to your Sun (or Ascendant) from your solar ninth house tends to change your outlook on life, perhaps stimulated by travel or contact with people of different cultural backgrounds than your own. Your personal belief system is transforming dramatically, and you are learning from a broader set of people and experiences than you ever have. You are more determined to achieve your personal goals, and more strategic in the manner you go about doing so. Pouring your heart and soul into your efforts comes naturally now. Kicking a bad habit is easier as well–you no longer tolerate procrastination or denial.

Positive connections between your fifth and ninth houses this year make 2008 a highly spirited year. You are in the position to inspire others through what you create this year. Do your best to create something tangible out of your ideas. You are bound to reach a broader audience if you do, and the feedback will feed the flames of your own inspiration. Income from foreign sources could also figure this year.

A positive link between your ninth and eleventh houses is made this year. Happiness and fulfillment through the expansion of your mind, widening your social circle, travel, and connections to people of a different cultural background than you is indicated. Your idealistic nature is stimulated, and you are likely to yearn for a connection to more spiritual or idealistic pursuits. A sense of belonging through connection to something larger than yourself is something that is entering your life in 2008.

Eclipses this year mainly fall in your fourth and tenth houses, suggesting that striking a balance between your attention to your career and to your family life is necessary. Taking steps to improve your family and home life as well as your career and public life will be in order. Some of you may have to make some critical decisions due to situations in your life that force you to make choices between career and family goals. Some of you may be promoted or your career takes a new direction. The challenge is to find a healthy balance–to improve home life, while at the same time tending to your career needs.

Some key periods in 2008 for you: The best times for magnetizing what (and who) you want into your life are May 1-8 and August 6-14. Romance heats up from July 1-18, and is especially animated in August. Your strongest financial period in 2008 occurs from May 20-June 2.

Much of the year, Saturn trines your Sun, and this is a wonderfully stabilizing influence. Sounds boring? Perhaps at times, but, for many, increased stability will be a welcome relief. A more responsible “you” is apt to emerge in 2008. Others can count on you. As well, you are capable of Herculean efforts without too much stressing and straining.

Try not to encourage this behavior, as tempting as it might be to do so. However, Neptune has finally ended its square to your Sun, and this is sure to make a strong difference in your confidence this year! Your ability to move forward on a direct path without as much doubt is increased. You are more able to inspire confidence in others as a result.

Uranus in a positive angle to your Sun from the eleventh house suggests the desire to make a few changes in your life that break you out of your usual routines. These changes are unlikely to be jarring or dramatic. Rather, it feels good to break out of your shell a little and to take a few healthy risks. Friends or group associations may be catalysts for this new self-expression. You may make little changes to your personal appearance or to your mannerisms that reflect the changes going on inside. A desire to be more free-spirited is with you this year.

Even so, with Mercury retrograde in your financial sector at the same time, it’s not the best time to push forward with new financial initiatives, but it is a strong period for reviewing past money matters.

2008 Details. Jupiter, the planet of expansion and good will, is gracing your solar ninth house from March and April. Jupiter is building your faith and your belief system, whatever that may be, and you are likely to find much joy in so doing. Your higher mind is expanding, and you might be considering furthering your education (it’s a fabulous time to do so) or simply broadening your knowledge in a more informal manner.

Saturn continues to move through your solar fourth house until November, acting to stabilize your family and home life, but the pressures in these areas have left you. A more organized domestic life is likely this year.

Saturn moves through your solar fifth house from November–a new influence in your life. Saturn’s influence is rather somber and serious, and can be downright oppressive. You are getting serious about fifth house matters: romance, relationships with children, your creativity, and pleasure. Serious about pleasure? Yes, indeed. While you may not spend a whole lot of time living it up at parties, bars, or entertainment venues, you are likely to take your hobbies more seriously. In fact, this is an excellent year for monetizing any personal hobby–turning it into a business, even if it’s on the side.

From November forward, Saturn trines your Sun, and this is a wonderfully stabilizing influence. Sounds boring? Perhaps at times, but, for many, increased stability will be a welcome relief. A more responsible “you” is apt to emerge in the last months of 2008. Others can count on you. As well, you are capable of Herculean efforts without too much stressing and straining.

The influences of Uranus and Neptune in your houses are similar to that of last year for Taureans born May 15-21 and those with a Taurus Ascendant of 25-30 degrees Taurus. Over the past few years, your career direction has been changing and your relationships with authority figures may have been tense. You certainly don’t like to follow orders these days! Do your best to avoid impulsive decision-making that is built upon your desire to be a free spirit. You may recognize talents that you never knew you had, and this can be a sudden, exciting discovery. Neptune’s influence in your ninth house is nothing new to you. Your overall perspective on life has been expanding, and you are more willing to embrace unusual, mystical, or spiritual philosophies.

However, for Taureans born May 11-14 and those with a Taurus Ascendant of 20-24 degrees, Uranus sextiles your Sun and Neptune squares it. Uranus in a positive angle to your Sun from the eleventh house suggests the desire to make a few changes in your life that break you out of your usual routines. These changes are unlikely to be jarring or dramatic. Rather, it feels good to break out of your shell a little and to take a few healthy risks. Friends or group associations may be catalysts for this new self-expression. You may make little changes to your personal appearance or to your mannerisms that reflect the changes going on inside. A desire to be more free-spirited is with you this year. Neptune’s square to your Sun can be draining at times. Neptune clouding your vision of where it is you are headed in life can cause some inner restlessness and confusion. You are a person who thrives on a master plan–something that is elusive during this period of your life. Unusual circumstances, coincidences, or some level of secrecy and mystery surround your career this year. Others may not be seeing you for who you are, but rather what they’d like you to be. Try not to encourage this behavior, as tempting as it might be to do so. Neptune is encouraging you to get in touch with your more spiritual side, but the circumstances that propel you in that direction may be confusing at first.

Positive connections between your fifth and ninth houses this year make 2008 a highly spirited year. You are in the position to inspire others through what you create this year.
