2015 Horoscope Taurus

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

2015: Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2015 Overview for all Taurus.

In 2015, you continue to seek comfort, but also growth and improvement, in your domestic world, dear Taurus. It’s one of your priorities, and the “work” you do with family and in the home can benefit you for years to come. While career matters are not in strong focus at this time, you are planting seeds now that are important for future growth in work and business. In fact, it’s a powerful time for beginning long-term projects.

A strong time for updating your home and moving your family relationships forward in happy ways occurs from April to June. If there are hatchets to bury in your closest relationships, this is the time to do so. Make a permanent mark. It’s also a strong time for dealing with your insecurities or negative self-image. Get comfortable with yourself – the cosmos are fully supporting this endeavor! You’ll benefit greatly and indefinitely, but especially in the second half of the year, when energy is ripe for expressing and sharing yourself in powerful ways. There may be a new hobby or creative activity that you take on, and for some Tauruses, you’ll be bringing an old interest or pleasure back to life. If you’ve always wanted to pursue a specific craft, art, or creative interest, now is the time to do so. You’ll also have over eight months in 2016 to get on this.

Your romantic life can blossom in the second half of 2015 as well (from August 2015 until September 2016). People are very interested in you romantically speaking, and opportunities can abound. Even so, another influence this year, Saturn in your solar eighth house, can have you a little reticent about getting in too deep. This could be due to emotions or life circumstances. Either way, intimacy is an area that you’re taking more seriously this year.

There can be major opportunities on creative and romantic fronts beginning in mid-October which will allow you to make powerful, possibly even obsessive, connections. Some of you could be reaching a broad audience, publishing your creative works, for example. At this time, creativity finds a successful channel or outlet, and you are pouring more of your heart and soul into what you create and share. Some Taureans will connect romantically with someone whose culture differs greatly from theirs or will become involved in a long-distance romance.

Seriousness in partnerships continues this year, but is also wrapping up. This is a time for coming to terms with recent relationship decisions and realizations. Those of you who have made or strengthened a commitment will now focus on the merging process, which isn’t always easy. Others who may have broken long-term commitments now face the challenges of reorganizing their lives in an “un-coupled” state – also difficult, but totally doable.

Continuing this year, there are great benefits to living a more organized, scheduled life. Do your best to get solid health and fitness programs in place. Connect with the joy of being of service and doing your share. April’s Lunar Eclipse will help give you the boost you need. In the last two months of the year, you begin a cycle, lasting throughout 2016 and into 2017, that encourages all things creative, romantic, and self-expressive.

At times this year, there can be a sense that you’re missing something, or constantly making adjustments. Dealing with guilt and worries can take its toll. This is also a time for managing your debts and shared finances. For some, there can be decreased intimacy or a more serious approach to your intimate world. There can even be some disdain for the confines of a merged, intense relationship. Money matters with a partner or ex-partner can be challenging, but also need some serious sorting in order for you to get back on track.

While Venus is retrograde from July 25-September 6, take your time when it comes to decisions revolving around home and family. You could experience slow-downs at this time. Motivation can drop temporarily. Watch for excess with money, gambling, or other forms of over-the-top behavior from mid-April through to the end of May, but do take note of new, off the wall ideas for making money, as these may be worth something.

Good prospects for business may be found in real estate, family-oriented business, publishing, and the food or travel industry. Instability is lifting.

March and September bring strong energy for new beginnings when it comes to your social and romantic life. Be especially attentive to cues to take better care of your health and daily routines in April.

By September, Saturn’s opposition to your sign lifts, and this takes off some of the direct pressure that’s been on you to perform and measure up. 2015 is first very much about getting comfortable in your own skin, after which it’s about sharing yourself with others with more confidence and self-assurance.

2015 Details.

Until August 11th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar fourth house, and you are likely to see benefits to home, family, property, and domestic comfort matters. Much joy and pleasure can be found in your family connections and experiences and/or your home life during this cycle.

An increased sense of security and safety may be derived from your domestic life. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. You might find that inner and personal experiences are more important to you than more worldly ones during this cycle.

Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Home improvements and renovations are favored, as is moving to a new dwelling (more spacious or larger homes are likely now). Some of you may buy or sell a house, and others may welcome a new addition to the family. You may move to a larger or more comfortable home; or you might enhance your existing home in such a way that makes you feel happier, perhaps by de-cluttering your space. Long-standing family problems may be ironed out. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. You may find special enjoyment through getting in touch with, or researching, your roots or family traditions. There could be a family reunion, vacation, or other event that gives you a stronger sense of connection to your family. Family may help you financially or an inheritance is possible for some of you. You take more pleasure in nurturing others.

A stronger sense of psychological well-being may come now, as you take less interest in more worldly ambitions and activities.

These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Because Jupiter rules your eighth house and is now in your fourth house, some of you could gain backing or support for buying, renovating, or adding to a home.

Until June, strong energy is available for enjoying the more positive effects of this transit. For the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. This is a time of nest-feathering. It’s also a period of good luck and liberation from past restrictions and difficult circumstances or attitudes that have been holding you back. Bringing buried or private crosses you’ve been burying into the light or out into the open can be healing. This is a powerful time for your inner world, for healing, and for forgiveness.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fourth house, from April 8th to August 11th.

From August 11th forward (until September 2016), Jupiter transits your solar fifth house, and you are likely to see benefits, and experience growth, in the areas of romance, pleasure, creative expression, hobbies, entertainment, and children. Your fair share of fun, romance, and good times are in store.

Your willingness to enjoy yourself and explore your creativity now brings new opportunities, or you might find that avenues open up to you for exploring new ways of having fun. For example, you might meet a new friend who spurs you to go out more, or you could be inspired by someone else’s creative projects and begin a new and rewarding hobby. Creative projects are likely to fare well during this cycle, and could possibly even bring some type of recognition or reward.

Romantic opportunities tend to abound during this cycle; or chances to kick back and have fun, express yourself, and pursue hobbies and entertainment. Creatively speaking, you can be filled with ideas and plans for realizing a dream.

Love and romance may come into your life or an existing romance is enhanced with good humor and warmth. You might find that possibilities for casual love relationships open up to you now, and some of you could be overwhelmed with choices! Social engagements abound. For single  Taureans, meeting a special person is highly likely, although it’s more likely to be a casual relationship than a committed partnership.

Even so, while this position is associated with casual dating, because Jupiter rules your intimacy sector, you could be seeking more intensity, passion, and depth in your love life during this period.

Investments in stocks and other speculative matters could earn profits. Healthy, wise risks are likely to pay off, but be careful of overconfidence with speculative investments.

Relationships with your children may be especially fulfilling now. Pregnancy or childbirth may occur during this period, if applicable. This is a fabulous period in which to take a vacation you’ve always wanted to take, to try out a new hobby or creative project/approach, to explore new ways of having fun, to enjoy single life, and so forth.

Those with artistic or athletic talent can be especially successful and prosperous at this time. Your creativity and social life are stimulated this year, and plenty of opportunities to express yourself uniquely and creatively are likely to present themselves. You may find great joy and reward in your creative projects and hobbies. Pleasure-seeking activities, recreation, and amusement are increased. You are far less inhibited when it comes to expressing yourself creatively, and you are a lot more fun to be around!

These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life. Sometimes Jupiter brings too much of a good thing, and it’s always wise to enjoy a carefree (not careless) attitude. You are learning to express yourself playfully and creatively without apology, and more willing to take some personal risks in order to do so. A potential negative of this transit is excessive emphasis on, or attention to, having fun to the detriment of other life departments.

However, for the most part, you are likely to feel supported and confident during this approximately year-long cycle. Particularly from October forward, there is beautiful energy for getting the courage to express yourself more freely, as well as for transforming your creative life, love life, hobbies, and self-expression. There is more depth and power in your creative output, intensity in your romantic world/feelings, and a stronger commitment to improving your life. Your lifeview expands, enriches, and deepens. Your desire to share yourself with others strengthens. Creativity finds a successful channel or outlet, and you are pouring more of your heart and soul into what you create and share. There may be romantic opportunities through travel, with others of a vastly different cultural background than yours, or through the pursuit of your higher education goals.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from August 11, 2015 to January 7, 2016 and then May 9 to September 9, 2016. (This transit lasts until September 2016).

Jupiter transits trine your Sun from August 11-September 26. This is a feel-good transit that offers you opportunities to rise above petty concerns and to achieve a more balanced approach to your life. Relationships with others tend to be easygoing, friendly, and positive. It’s natural for you to cooperate with others, and others find it easy to cooperate with you! This is a time when you really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.

Saturn transits your solar eighth house until June 14th and then from September 17th forward (until December 2017). This transit began in December 2014 and runs until December 2017 (with the exception of this summer, June 14-September 17, 2015). It’s typically felt most strongly in the first year of its influence.

This is a period when getting what you want from others can be challenging, as you ultimately are learning to rely on yourself. You are likely to be more sensitive to what seem like outer world pressures that force you to examine some of your deepest desires and attachments. These include your sexual relationships, your finances (especially with regards to debts and shared finances), and your need for control. You may face some difficulties satisfying your libido and/or encounter problems with intimacy. These pressures are “designed” to make you more aware of your desire nature, and what exactly it is you truly want.

Dissatisfaction and frustrations getting what you want, especially with regard to relationships with others and with your resources, often characterize the first part of the transit. You may discover that previous methods of controlling your environment and the people in your life simply are not effective any more. You may not even be aware exactly how you have been employing power and control before this transit.

Saturn’s presence in this sector of your chart also urges you to organize your finances. On a psychological level, you face some of your fears that are of a compulsive nature—those fears that lead you to believe you need certain things in order to survive. Taxes might be a big issue during this period. Some of you may be supporting a partner or a partner could earn less. Towards the end of this transit (in 2017), you will have eliminated some deep-seated habits and attachments that have been keeping you back from feeling emotionally free. You emerge healthier and stronger. When we give in to compulsive behaviors, we give up self-control, and guilt undermines our lives. We are not ourselves. By attempting to control others, we give away our own power over ourselves.

Tests can come to your financial and intimate worlds during this cycle. You may be dealing with fears of surrendering yourself, emotionally or financially, to others. Support from others may not be as forthcoming as it has been in the past. For example, a partner’s income may be reduced, or another form of financial support may be taken away or decreased during this period. This requires you to assume more independence in terms of making a living. For some, a line of study is coming to an end and there is a need to take the next step.

Emotionally, there can be a feeling that others are not as supportive. There can be delays or difficulties in general when it comes to getting what you want or need from others. Intimacy may seem to dry up before it gets better. However, it’s a strong time for handling financial matters, especially debts and taxes, in a logical and realistic manner.

By the end of this transit, you are likely to feel considerably healthier on an emotional level. Ideally, you will have nixed some of your addictions, and mastered your superstitions. You will feel more powerful because you have given up attempting to control things you cannot or should not control, and you will have gained a feeling of self-mastery instead.

Saturn finishes its transit of your solar seventh house from June 14-September 17. This transit that began in October 2012 ended in December 2014, but resumes and finishes up from June 2015 to September 2015.

Saturn motivates us to do “spring cleaning” in the areas of life it touches. In your case, significant one-to-one relationships need to be considered and understood during this transit. This is a time when you need to define, understand, and crystallize your significant relationships with others. If you already have a partner, this is a time when any issues surrounding compromise, flexibility, and the ability to give your heart to your partner will surface. Initial frustration in the early stages of this transit (2012 and 2013) may have taken the form of feeling criticized and “examined” in this area of life. By the end of the transit, however, you will have learned much about commitment and compromise. Single people are likely to have felt the initial pressures of Saturn transiting the seventh house as well. A feeling of loneliness was possible in either situation (whether you have/had a significant partnership or not), but instead of an issue of re-committing, the single person will seriously think about commitment in general. If involved in a casual love relationship, when Saturn transits the seventh, a pressure emerges concerning the need for evaluating your commitments. Often this transit corresponds with an urge (or pressure) to make a commitment or a re-commitment.

Healthy partnerships can be the outcome of this transit, whether they are new ones or strengthened existing partnerships. Saturn always brings with it a fair measure of reality and objectivity, so that whatever relationships you may have now or want to have will be defined and re-defined. Relationships are seen now as serious matters! Partners are no longer simply for amusement or mirrors of your ego. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear. You are forced to begin seeing others as individuals, and to improve the manner in which you relate to and with others. Depending on your age and life circumstances, “significant partnerships” can mean partnerships with loved ones, business partnerships, and even deep friendships. By the end of this transit this year, quantity in the relationship department will have been replaced with quality, and this process has involved time, soul-searching, frustration, and eventual fulfillment. 

Some of you could be making a commitment this summer. A relationship can encounter some tests or complications, but if it’s strong, it will weather the storm and you could decide to take it to another level. If not, remember that relationships “lost” during a Saturn transit to your partnership sector on some level have run their course and need to end. Some of you could be making a commitment to someone whose background or culture is very different than your own. Others may decide that a traditional partnership is not for them.

The acute elements of this transit have already been experienced for your Taurus group. This is a time for resolving these issues. After mid-September this year, Saturn won’t return to this area of your chart for another 29 years.

Uranus continues to transit your solar twelfth house this year. At this time, Uranus helps release you from unconscious habit patterns, perhaps stirring up your private life (your private life becomes more “colorful” now), and interjecting some unusual coincidences into your life. This whole process acts to slowly but surely detach you from the past. The more acute elements of this transit have already been experienced before 2015 for your decan of Taurus.

Neptune begins or continues its lengthy transit through your solar eleventh house this year. This transit adds some color and imagination to your social life and to your personality. During this long-term cycle, you may be faced with the need to draw some boundaries with friends and the demands of others. You may experience a subtle yearning to belong with a friend or a group who/that shares your own ideals. This can lead you to attach yourself to unusual, more spiritual, or downright wacky friends…colorful ones at the very least!

Pluto continues its lengthy transit of your solar ninth house this year. This transit continues to have the effect of gradually transforming your belief system and general outlook on life. Some of the beliefs that have carried you to date may seem outdated or superficial, and events and circumstances in your life prompt you to adopt new beliefs and visions, or to alter those you’ve had in the past.

The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar sixth house until October-November, and your attention is turned to work, habits, health, and routines. Setting rules and boundaries will be important at this time. Orderliness will be empowering, and paying closer attention to deadlines, details, and rules will be challenging but also very rewarding. By structuring your life, you will be able to come closer to achieving your dreams. The North Node transits your solar fifth house from October-November forward, and you are pointed in the direction of creativity, uniqueness, standing out, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You need to make a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness.

Eclipses to come.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) – 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:

2015: Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2015 Overview for all of Taurus.

In 2015, you continue to seek comfort, but also growth and improvement, in your domestic world, dear Taurus. It’s one of your priorities, and the “work” you do with family and in the home can benefit you for years to come. While career matters are not in strong focus at this time, you are planting seeds now that are important for future growth in work and business. In fact, it’s a powerful time for beginning long-term projects.

A strong time for updating your home and moving your family relationships forward in happy ways occurs from April to June. If there are hatchets to bury in your closest relationships, this is the time to do so. Make a permanent mark. It’s also a strong time for dealing with your insecurities or negative self-image. Get comfortable with yourself – the cosmos are fully supporting this endeavor! You’ll benefit greatly and indefinitely, but especially in the second half of the year, when energy is ripe for expressing and sharing yourself in powerful ways. There may be a new hobby or creative activity that you take on, and for some Tauruses, you’ll be bringing an old interest or pleasure back to life. If you’ve always wanted to pursue a specific craft, art, or creative interest, now is the time to do so. You’ll also have over eight months in 2016 to get on this.

Your romantic life can blossom in the second half of 2015 as well (from August 2015 until September 2016). People are very interested in you romantically speaking, and opportunities can abound. Even so, another influence this year, Saturn in your solar eighth house, can have you a little reticent about getting in too deep. This could be due to emotions or life circumstances. Either way, intimacy is an area that you’re taking more seriously this year.

There can be major opportunities on creative and romantic fronts beginning in mid-October which will allow you to make powerful, possibly even obsessive, connections. Some of you could be reaching a broad audience, publishing your creative works, for example. At this time, creativity finds a successful channel or outlet, and you are pouring more of your heart and soul into what you create and share. Some Taureans will connect romantically with someone whose culture differs greatly from theirs or will become involved in a long-distance romance.

Seriousness in partnerships continues this year, but is also wrapping up. This is a time for coming to terms with recent relationship decisions and realizations. Those of you who have made or strengthened a commitment will now focus on the merging process, which isn’t always easy. Others who may have broken long-term commitments now face the challenges of reorganizing their lives in an “un-coupled” state – also difficult, but totally doable.

Continuing this year, there are great benefits to living a more organized, scheduled life. Do your best to get solid health and fitness programs in place. Connect with the joy of being of service and doing your share. April’s Lunar Eclipse will help give you the boost you need. In the last two months of the year, you begin a cycle, lasting throughout 2016 and into 2017, that encourages all things creative, romantic, and self-expressive.

At times this year, there can be a sense that you’re missing something, or constantly making adjustments. Dealing with guilt and worries can take its toll. This is also a time for managing your debts and shared finances. For some, there can be decreased intimacy or a more serious approach to your intimate world. There can even be some disdain for the confines of a merged, intense relationship. Money matters with a partner or ex-partner can be challenging, but also need some serious sorting in order for you to get back on track.

While Venus is retrograde from July 25-September 6, take your time when it comes to decisions revolving around home and family. You could experience slow-downs at this time.

March and September bring strong energy for new beginnings when it comes to your social and romantic life. Be especially attentive to cues to take better care of your health and daily routines in April.

By September, Saturn’s opposition to your sign lifts, and this takes off some of the direct pressure that’s been on you to perform and measure up. 2015 is first very much about getting comfortable in your own skin, after which it’s about sharing yourself with others with more confidence and self-assurance.

2015 Details.

The acute elements of this transit have already been experienced for your Taurus group. This is a time for resolving these issues. After 2015, Saturn won’t return to this area of your chart for another 29 years.

Saturn spends some time in Sagittarius this year, but does not reach the degree of your Taurus decan until the tail-end of 2015. In 2016, Saturn will transit your solar eighth house.

Uranus begins or continues its lengthy transit of your solar twelfth house. This movement ends a previous cycle in which friendships have been changing sometimes quite radically. At this time, Uranus helps release you from unconscious habit patterns, perhaps stirring up your private life (your private life becomes more “colorful” now), and interjecting some unusual coincidences into your life. This whole process acts to slowly but surely detach you from the past.

Neptune continues to transit your solar tenth house, as it has been doing for a number of years, 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. Some of you might be leaning towards a more spiritual, creative, or artistic career.

For those born approximately May 4-7, and those with an Ascendant of 13 to 15 degrees Taurus, Pluto trines your Sun this year from your solar ninth house. This empowering transit influences 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. You are more able to get to the very root of problems instead of only scratching the surface. This is also a very helpful influence for you with regards to partnerships and home life. It is easier to attract or enhance a close partnership now, and more determination is brought to changing domestic conditions for the better.

For those of you born May 4-10 and with a Taurus Ascendant of 16-20 degrees, Chiron is transiting sextile your Sun/Ascendant this year. This influence is a subtly healing one. Others look upon you with more respect, tolerance, and acceptance. You don’t feel the need to prove yourself, and that feels good. You have the chance to shine, largely because you are projecting yourself with self-respect and modesty at once. You are especially appealing and charming during this transit just by being yourself. Opportunities–both personal and professional–are likely to present themselves as a result. You are not looking for credit for what you do, which frees you up to get it anyhow! New friendships are likely to emerge this year–supportive and easygoing ones.

The North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar sixth house until April, and your attention is turned to work, habits, health, and routines. Setting rules and boundaries will be important at this time. Orderliness will be empowering, and paying closer attention to deadlines, details, and rules will be challenging but also very rewarding. By structuring your life, you will be able to come closer to achieving your dreams. The North Node transits your solar fifth house from April forward, and you are pointed in the direction of creativity, uniqueness, standing out, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You need to make a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness.

Eclipses to come.

Taurus (Born May 11 to 21) – 20 to 30 degrees Taurus:

2015: Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

2015 Overview for all of Taurus.

In 2015, you continue to seek comfort, but also growth and improvement, in your domestic world, dear Taurus. It’s one of your priorities, and the “work” you do with family and in the home can benefit you for years to come. While career matters are not in strong focus at this time, you are planting seeds now that are important for future growth in work and business. In fact, it’s a powerful time for beginning long-term projects.

A strong time for updating your home and moving your family relationships forward in happy ways occurs from April to June. If there are hatchets to bury in your closest relationships, this is the time to do so. Make a permanent mark. It’s also a strong time for dealing with your insecurities or negative self-image. Get comfortable with yourself – the cosmos are fully supporting this endeavor! You’ll benefit greatly and indefinitely, but especially in the second half of the year, when energy is ripe for expressing and sharing yourself in powerful ways. There may be a new hobby or creative activity that you take on, and for some Tauruses, you’ll be bringing an old interest or pleasure back to life. If you’ve always wanted to pursue a specific craft, art, or creative interest, now is the time to do so. You’ll also have over eight months in 2016 to get on this.

Your romantic life can blossom in the second half of 2015 as well (from August 2015 until September 2016). People are very interested in you romantically speaking, and opportunities can abound. Even so, another influence this year, Saturn in your solar eighth house, can have you a little reticent about getting in too deep. This could be due to emotions or life circumstances. Either way, intimacy is an area that you’re taking more seriously this year.

There can be major opportunities on creative and romantic fronts beginning in mid-October which will allow you to make powerful, possibly even obsessive, connections. Some of you could be reaching a broad audience, publishing your creative works, for example. At this time, creativity finds a successful channel or outlet, and you are pouring more of your heart and soul into what you create and share. Some Taureans will connect romantically with someone whose culture differs greatly from theirs or will become involved in a long-distance romance.

Seriousness in partnerships continues this year, but is also wrapping up. This is a time for coming to terms with recent relationship decisions and realizations. Those of you who have made or strengthened a commitment will now focus on the merging process, which isn’t always easy. Others who may have broken long-term commitments now face the challenges of reorganizing their lives in an “un-coupled” state – also difficult, but totally doable.

Continuing this year, there are great benefits to living a more organized, scheduled life. Do your best to get solid health and fitness programs in place. Connect with the joy of being of service and doing your share. April’s Lunar Eclipse will help give you the boost you need. In the last two months of the year, you begin a cycle, lasting throughout 2016 and into 2017, that encourages all things creative, romantic, and self-expressive.

At times this year, there can be a sense that you’re missing something, or constantly making adjustments. Dealing with guilt and worries can take its toll. This is also a time for managing your debts and shared finances. For some, there can be decreased intimacy or a more serious approach to your intimate world. There can even be some disdain for the confines of a merged, intense relationship. Money matters with a partner or ex-partner can be challenging, but also need some serious sorting in order for you to get back on track.

While Venus is retrograde from July 25-September 6, take your time when it comes to decisions revolving around home and family. You could experience slow-downs at this time. Motivation can drop temporarily. Watch for excess with money, gambling, or other forms of over-the-top behavior from mid-April through to the end of May, but do take note of new, off the wall ideas for making money, as these may be worth something.

Good prospects for business may be found in real estate, family-oriented business, publishing, and the food or travel industry. Instability is lifting.

March and September bring strong energy for new beginnings when it comes to your social and romantic life. Be especially attentive to cues to take better care of your health and daily routines in April.

By September, Saturn’s opposition to your sign lifts, and this takes off some of the direct pressure that’s been on you to perform and measure up. 2015 is first very much about getting comfortable in your own skin, after which it’s about sharing yourself with others with more confidence and self-assurance.

2015 Details.

This year, Jupiter continues to move through your solar fourth house, and you are likely to see benefits to home, family, property, and domestic comfort matters. Much joy and pleasure can be found in your family connections and experiences and/or your home life during this cycle.

An increased sense of security and safety may be derived from your domestic life. Improvements to your home life, family, and basic psychological foundation are in focus. You might find that inner and personal experiences are more important to you than more worldly ones during this cycle.

Opportunities to buy or sell real estate for financial gain may present themselves. Home improvements and renovations are favored, as is moving to a new dwelling (more spacious or larger homes are likely now). Some of you may buy or sell a house, and others may welcome a new addition to the family. You may move to a larger or more comfortable home; or you might enhance your existing home in such a way that makes you feel happier, perhaps by de-cluttering your space. Long-standing family problems may be ironed out. Relationships with parents and other family members go well. You may find special enjoyment through getting in touch with, or researching, your roots or family traditions. There could be a family reunion, vacation, or other event that gives you a stronger sense of connection to your family. Family may help you financially or an inheritance is possible for some of you. You take more pleasure in nurturing others.

A stronger sense of psychological well-being may come now, as you take less interest in more worldly ambitions and activities.

These positive circumstances won’t necessarily fall into your lap, and are unlikely to come all at once. You need to keep your eyes open for opportunities in these areas of life.

Because Jupiter rules your eighth house and is now in your fourth house, some of you could gain backing or support for buying, renovating, or adding to a home.

Until June, strong energy is available for enjoying the more positive effects of this transit. For the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. This is a time of nest-feathering. It’s also a period of good luck and liberation from past restrictions and difficult circumstances or attitudes that have been holding you back. Bringing buried, or private crosses you’ve been burying, into the light or out into the open can be healing. This is a powerful time for your inner world, for healing, and for forgiveness.

From October forward, there is beautiful energy for transforming your relationships, partnerships, sex life, finances, and home life. There is more depth and power in your relationships, and a stronger commitment to improving your life. Your lifeview expands, enriches, and deepens. Your desire to share yourself with others strengthens. You are pouring more of your heart and soul into your domestic world. It’s a strong time for psychotherapy and purging as you are willing to look at the root of problems. It’s a good time for long-term financial planning and strengthening your financial picture through some form of pooling of resources. There can be more power and resources available to you to establish yourself, especially through a home or property, but also for long-term business endeavors.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar fifth house, from April 8th to November 22nd.

For those born May 11-14 or a Taurus Ascendant of 20-23 degrees, Jupiter briefly visits your solar fifth house and trines your Sun during the period from November 22nd, 2015 to February 23rd, 2016, and then continues the transit later in 2016. This brings your attention to creative channels, romance, love, children, and recreation, which will be strong themes in 2016. This is a time when you really enjoy life, appreciating the good things and rarely harping on the more inconvenient or annoying elements of life.

Saturn continues its transit of your solar seventh house this year. Saturn motivates us to do “spring cleaning” in the areas of life it touches. In your case, significant one-to-one relationships need to be considered and understood during this transit. This is a time when you need to define, understand, and crystallize your significant relationships with others. If you already have a partner, this is a time when any issues surrounding compromise, flexibility, and the ability to give your heart to your partner will surface. Initial frustration in the early stages of this transit (last year for most of you) may have taken the form of feeling criticized and “examined” in this area of life. By the end of the transit, however, you will have learned much about commitment and compromise. Single people are likely to have felt the initial pressures of Saturn transiting the seventh house as well. A feeling of loneliness was possible in either situation (whether you have/had a significant partnership or not), but instead of an issue of re-committing, the single person will seriously think about commitment in general. If involved in a casual love relationship, when Saturn transits the seventh, a pressure emerges concerning the need for evaluating your commitments. Often this transit corresponds with an urge (or pressure) to make a commitment or a re-commitment.

Healthy partnerships can be the outcome of this transit, whether they are new ones or strengthened existing partnerships. Saturn always brings with it a fair measure of reality and objectivity, so that whatever relationships you may have now or want to have will be defined and re-defined. Relationships are seen now as serious matters! Partners are no longer simply for amusement or mirrors of your ego. Responsibilities to partners, the need to compromise, and the realities of the needs of others, become clear. You are forced to begin seeing others as individuals, and to improve the manner in which you relate to and with others. Depending on your age and life circumstances, “significant partnerships” can mean partnerships with loved ones, business partnerships, and even deep friendships. By the end of this transit this year, quantity in the relationship department will have been replaced with quality, and this process has involved time, soul-searching, frustration, and eventual fulfillment. 

Some of you could be making a commitment this year. A relationship can encounter some tests or complications, but if it’s strong, it will weather the storm and you could decide to take it to another level. If not, remember that relationships “lost” during a Saturn transit to your partnership sector on some level have run their course and need to end. Some of you could be making a commitment to someone whose background or culture is very different than your own. Others may decide that a traditional partnership is not for them.

The acute elements of this transit have already passed for most of your Taurus decan (the last two degrees/days of the sign will be dealing with this energy head-on in the summer of 2015, though). After 2016, Saturn won’t return to this area of your chart for another 29 years.

There can be some feelings of being blocked or stalled, by circumstances or by others, while Saturn opposes your Sun for those of you born May 19-21 or with a 28-30 degree Taurus Ascendant this summer. It can be difficult to feel that you’re moving forward under this influence. In fact, you’re not moving backwards, and you are moving forward slowly but surely. Treat delays as chances to perfect what you’re doing, and you’ll be much better off emotionally. It’s a time for drawing upon Taurean patience.

Saturn spends some time in Sagittarius this year, but does not reach the degree of your decan until the tail-end of 2016. In 2016-2017, Saturn will transit your solar eighth house.

Uranus continues to transit your solar eleventh house. Over recent 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. However, friendships may come and go during this cycle. Uranus will enter your solar twelfth house in 2016 or beyond, depending on your degree of Taurus in your decan/group.

The influence of Neptune is similar to last year. Neptune continues to transit your solar tenth house, as it has been doing for a number of years, 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. Some of you might be leaning towards a more spiritual, creative, or artistic career.

Venus is your planetary ruler. More power to you when your ruler is in your sign, and this year, this period is from March 17th to April 11th. Venus is on your decan from April 3-11 – this is the time to attract what or who you want into your life. Venus is retrograde from July 25th to September 6th. This can be a period for reflection, slowing down, and perhaps some backtracking. Venus aligns with Mars three times this year, on February 22nd, September 1st, and November 3rd, stimulating passion and increasing your personal magnetism (especially in November).   

The North Node continues to transit your solar fifth house this year, and you are pointed in the direction of creativity, uniqueness, standing out, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You need to make a conscious effort to deal with others in a more personal, involved, and loving manner, rather than falling back on reason and intellect which detaches you from your feelings. Learning to take personal risks, which requires a certain amount of self-confidence, will help you to achieve inner balance and happiness.

Eclipses to come.
