The horoscope on this page, Taurus Yearly, shows the trends and predictions for the year in full. Because outer planet transits are lengthy, there are variations in the timing of outer planet transits for each of the three decans of Taurus, and these are shown below the main, general forecast.

There are some lovely trends with you in 2017, dear Taurus. Every year, we see challenges and opportunities in different areas. It’s my hope that understanding these areas of potential disruption and ease that you can make the most of these trends by seeking out the opportunities and managing the challenges.

Taurus people revel in the practical aspects of life and draw spiritual truths from this. Comfort and satisfaction are great themes in your life. Mental and emotional security are primary goals.

The following chart shows the outer planets and other points in relation to your sign, revealing whether they are harmonizing with or challenging Taurus:

Grey is neutral (no direct relationship, but can be picky, nagging),

Pink is challenging (the planet is in direct, challenging relationship to your sign),

and Green is easy and supportive (the planet or point is in direct, harmonious relationship with your sign).

As you can see, there is very little in the way of outer planet challenges this year for Taurus. In fact, the Jupiter challenge is an opposition, which is not as difficult as a square.

 

Overview: Harmony and Challenge of Outer Planets:

You have incredible support from Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron again this year, Taurus. These long-term influences have been on your side for years and will continue to support your efforts for years to come. 2017 is no exception! Tauruses are more imaginative and spiritual than usual under these influences.

Taurus is a sign that is typically more interested in practical realities than intensive self-analysis, but these planetary influences suggest a greater interest in understanding the spiritual forces active in your life.

Saturn forms an awkward angle to your sign until December 19th. This can be a nagging background influence — from time to time, you feel the need to make adjustments, particularly in your intimate relationships.

Uranus is in a side-by-side sign with yours until it enters Taurus in 2018. You’re rarely comfortable making radical changes in your life, although you sense that you must detach yourself from some elements of the past in order to thrive in upcoming years. 2017 is an excellent year for intuiting where you may be over-attached — working on these areas can help you tremendously going forward.

Pluto’s support of your sign highlights your strong willpower and your ability to make long-term plans, patiently working towards your goals.

Tauruses naturally have an excellent ability to stick with things and follow through. This trait is most defined in years when Saturn supports you, and this hasn’t happened since Saturn was in Virgo from 2007-2010. It will occur again from December 19, 2017, forward (until 2020).

You have the patience to nurture something into being, and this can relate to a project, business, garden, or relationship. This trait is highlighted with Neptune, Pluto, and Chiron in your corner in 2017.

Pluto is assisting you in opening your mind to new ideas and broadening your horizons. This is not always an easy task, as your work can keep you from exploring as much as you’d like, particularly until August. Travel and higher education can be stronger and growing drives in 2017.

Relationships continue to face tests. These are not as in-your-face as they were in recent years — 2017 is more about making adjustments and dealing with possible dryness in the intimacy department of a long-term relationship (more on this later – Saturn in the solar eighth house).

Your devotion and dedication to friends are emphasized in 2017. There are considerably fewer problems with friendships, associates, group associations, and networks this year. This will improve ten times over starting in December 2017 and through much of 2018. Even so, this area of your life is subject to some confusion or lack of definition from time to time. You can experience some yearnings for a kindred soul in your life.

One of the most rewarding influences of the year assists you in finding a nice balance between innovation and tradition. This happens in your spiritual and emotional worlds. While you can be feeling some sense of lack or limit in your intimate life, you are able to find steady outlets for self-expression elsewhere, and this takes some of the pressure off relationships. There may be also some financial relief.

This is a powerful year for spiffing up your work, daily routines, and health regimens. Go big in these areas, but know your limits!

The modern ruler of your career sector, Uranus, has been spending recent years hidden away in your privacy sector and continues to do so throughout 2017. This generally points to work behind the scenes and less visibility in your career. After Uranus moves into Taurus in 2018-2019, however, changes are very much on the horizon in this respect and regarding career, reputation, and responsibilities. For now, you’re inclined to keep your head down and keep plugging away at what you’re doing. It wouldn’t hurt to begin thinking about possible new beginnings. This may, for some of you, point to a new field or job, but for many, it can be a time for reinventing yourself in your career. In 2017, you benefit from the modern and ancient rulers of your career sector, Uranus and Saturn, in harmonious relationship to one another, and this tends to promote stability and gentle progress.

From October forward, you benefit from a wonderful influence for close, one-to-one relationships. This transit happens once every twelve years and often greatly improves a partnership or brings a new partnership into your life. People help you, want to be around you, and view you as an ideal partner. This transit will last until November 2018 and its benefits will be more apparent after December 2017.

 

Your Solar First House: Identity, Personality, Image, Physical Body, Manner

TAURUS and ruler VENUS. With this position, you come across as content, sensual, strong, loyal, and steady. You have a calming and even healing influence on others, and don’t like to be rushed. This trait is emphasized whenever planets transit your sign.

In 2017, the Sun is in your sign and identity sector from April 20-May 20. This is a period of personal power and strength. You are in control of how others see you, making it a great time to assert or present yourself, alter your manner or appearance, and improve your approach to the world around you. Make things work for you — allow yourself to shine!

Mercury is here from March 31-April 19 and then from May 16-June 6. There are two periods because Mercury turns retrograde in your sign on April 9th. Mercury is retrograde from April 9th to May 3rd. This period overlaps with a Venus retrograde period from March 4-April 15th. This can be a time of misunderstandings and slowdowns, no doubt. However, this can also be an important time for looking within and to the past for answers.

Take your time with important decisions and avoid making drastic changes until these retrograde periods are over. Some of the decisions you make in early April are likely to later involve a change of mind or change of heart. The period from May 16-June 6 is excellent for knowing what you want and making easy and quick decisions. You are communicative and you’re understood. Your ideas are well-received.

Venus is in your sign from June 6-July 4. This is a powerful time for personal appeal and magnetism. You are attracting what and who you want. This is a time for presenting yourself more appealingly, and for pampering yourself a little. People love your aura and your style.

Mars is in your sign from March 9-April 20. This is typically a very assertive, active, and enterprising period. However, this time around (in 2017) it comes at a complicated time when Venus is retrograde and Mercury is retrograde in your sign, and people don’t quite understand your intentions. As such, you may be seen as particularly aggressive or even uncouth at this time. Tone things down as much as possible. Mars is handy to have in your corner to increase your drive and energy levels, but without the benefit of other influences smoothing over rough corners, there can be some awkwardness now.

Your Solar Second House: Money, Resources, Natural Talents, Security, Comfort

GEMINI and ruler MERCURY. With this position, you think (and talk) about money, personal possessions, valuables, and comfort matters more than most people. You likely have more than one source of income. You are clever when it comes to business and money-making ideas.

You always do better with money when Mercury is in good shape, such as in your sign and forming harmonious aspects or in a harmonious sign. Look to the bottom of this section for Mercury retrograde periods that should be avoided for brand new initiatives. Mercury retro is just fine for getting back money owed to you, however, and is sometimes beneficial for getting good deals and sales.

In 2017, the Sun is in your money house from May 20-June 20. This is a time of more pride in your income, valuables, and talents. If you need to take charge of your money, ask for a raise, or make a big sale, this is a better period of the year for doing so.

Mercury is here from June 6-21. This is a time for coming up with particularly clever money-making ideas. It’s also a valuable time for analyzing income sources, making a budget, talking to financial advisors or friends who know a lot about finances, and for information coming in that supports your money-making efforts. There can be times when you fret or worry a little too much on these lines, however.

Venus is here from July 4-31. It’s a good time for gifts, purchases, and acknowledgment. People are happier to give you things and help you out. You can be a little indulgent now, however. This sometimes ends up being a period of more money coming in, but going out in equal measure.

Mars is here from April 21-June 4. The drive to make yourself comfortable or accumulate and earn more is persistent. May 12 and 30 are particularly strong for enterprise, courage, and business success.

Mercury in your sign (when it is direct and Venus is also direct) is a good period for money and gifts coming to you, and this occurs from May 16 to June 6.

New initiatives revolving around money and business are best avoided while Mercury is retrograde: December 19, 2016-January 8, 2017; April 9-May 3; August 12-September 5; and December 3-22. These are perfectly good times for building upon work in progress and researching or renewing old projects, but you may want to hold off on brand new launches.

Your Solar Third House: Communications, Studies, Commuting.

CANCER and ruler MOON. You have good emotional rapport with others in conversations, and you have special flair and warmth in your writing or speaking.

The Sun is in your communications sector from June 21-July 22. This is a time for reaching out, presenting ideas, extending warm gestures, visiting, running errands, shopping for devices that help you communicate and commute more effectively, deciding on courses, and exploring different options.

Mercury is here from June 21-July 5. There is a nice overlap with the Sun’s transit here. You are admired for your ideas and intelligence. Your anecdotes, opinions, and input are seen as desirable. People ask you for advice. You learn quickly and easily.

Venus is here from July 31-August 25. You are bringing wonderful warmth and charm to your communications. You benefit from employing diplomacy now. You may be verbalizing your affections very well now, or there can be a focus on loving chats and sweet talk. Some of you will find or enhance love through the phone or chat lines, or with fellow students or in the neighborhood. It’s also a favorable time for relationships with siblings.

Mars is in your communications sector from June 4-July 20. You are ready to take on multiple projects or to push a particular idea or project forward. There can be impatience and brusqueness to watch for. Impatience with communications (speaking or writing too soon or sloppiness) and with movement (which can lead to small accidents, tripping, driving aggressively, etc.) should be managed.

There might also be small and frequent arguments with others, and for some in the areas ruled by the third house, which includes siblings, classmates, on the road, with neighbors, and so forth. Otherwise, this can be a time of enterprise and independence that helps you move closer to your goals. Much of the time that Mars is here, Venus is in your sign, and this combination is excellent for stating your mind without upsetting too many people!

Better times for presenting your ideas and coming across well in your communications are when the Moon is in your sign:

Your Solar Fourth House: Home, Family, Support System, Base, Personal Life

LEO and ruler the SUN. This is where you want to shine. You are proud of and creative around your home. You express power and take charge most comfortably with family and at home. Your strong personality tends to dominate the home environment. You invest a lot of your time, energy, and money into your home. You need a home life that’s comfortable, rich, and warm.

The Sun is in your home sector from July 22-August 22. This is a great time for taking charge of your home life, spiffing things up, entertaining in the home, or simply relaxing and enjoying the comforts of your domestic life. There can be times when your pride is great and you want to take the lead – perhaps some will object from time to time. This is a good time for making very long-term plans. Yours is a sign very capable of making plans years in advance and eventually putting them into action successfully, and now is a great time for considering long-term security.

Mercury is in your home sector from July 5-25 and then August 31-September 9. There can be increased activity in the home now. Love relationships prosper by getting comfortable and sticking closer to home. Purchases made for the home may be contemplated, but there can be some backtracking or rethinking in the first week of September, so be a little more cautious about spending big money now.

Venus is here from August 26-September 19. This is an excellent period for beautifying the home, hosting and entertaining in the home, getting comfortable with a lover, and making peace with family and loved ones. This may not be the very best time for attracting new love relationships, but it’s great for getting comfortable in your home base and for bonding and maintaining current relationships.

Mars is here from July 20-September 4. This can be a rather aggressive or hectic, impatient time on the home front, although overlap dates with Venus help mitigate this (August 26-September 4). It’s a great time for taking first steps to resolve problems with family and around the home, as long as you’re not too impatient about it. You may feel the reason to defend yourself or family now but watch for a generally defensive manner. Mars square your sign points to some accident-proneness and irritability.

Vesta is here until mid-July, and you can be very dedicated to building the home you long for. This is an excellent period for working on, from, or around the home.

The True Node of the Moon is here from May 9th forward. It’s your calling to make right with family and secure your home life now — great rewards are yours in so doing. It’s time to de-emphasize career or worldly goals a little so that you can invest more time and energy into the home and family.

Your Solar Fifth House: Love, Romance, Dating, Children, Entertainment, Hobbies, Creative Expression

VIRGO and ruler MERCURY. You thrive best when these areas of your life are consistent, running well, and practical or well-organized. Your expectations of creative projects, children, and love relationships are high.

Look to periods when planets are in Virgo and making happy aspects, and when Mercury is in Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn and in good shape by aspect for better times for love, romance, and dating.

The Sun is in your romance and creativity sector from August 23-September 22. You’re extra proud of your romance, children, and creative projects now, and if something’s out of whack, you’re likely to put a lot of energy into fixing it. You are coming across smoothly and energy levels are generally good. You are likely to find that you get what you want or where you’re going with fewer obstacles, although there can be some issues to deal with until September 5th with Mercury retrograde at the same time. From September 5-22, you are in a great position for endeavors that involve performing and expressing yourself. Hobbies can thrive now.

Mercury is here from July 26-August 30 (retrograde for part of this, from August 12th forward), and then September 10-29. Relationships thrive with communication but watch for the retrograde period from August 12-September 4. This can be a time of looking back in your love life before you move forward, and love can get complicated. People from the past can be a theme now, whether it’s about someone reconnecting with you or thinking (obsessing) about the past.

Slow down a little, give people space, and then talk things through from September 10-29. It’s an excellent time for games, recreation, winning in competition or doing particularly well with your communications, studies, and mental pursuits. You get help from lovely Venus for part of this period.

Venus is here from September 20-October 13. Charm galore! This is a fabulous time for attracting who and what you want. You’re in love with love, and you’re beaming. People love being around you, and you love the admiration.

Mars animates this house from September 5-October 21. This is an incredibly exciting time for your love life, and for your personal magnetism. You pursue your heart’s desire now. Part of this time, Venus is in this same house, boosting your appeal even further. Particularly around October 5th, you are in great shape for romantic excitement.

The True North Node of the Moon is here until May 8th. You are going out on a limb and expressing your playful, romantic, and creative side, and it opens up lovely opportunities for you.

 

Your Solar Sixth House: Work, Habits, Health, Routines, Pets

LIBRA and ruler VENUS. Talent, aesthetics, and the good things of life. When it is combined with this sign of fair play and ambition on the sixth house of work, service, and health, they provide a very strong combination of influences for the achievement of goals. Work will be original and consistent, with a real concern for the welfare of others, and generally good health can be expected.

The Sun is here from September 23-October 22. It’s time to get back to business. This is a stellar time for getting back into a satisfying routine or into shape. If you’re already sailing in the areas of daily routines and habits, you’re likely to enjoy these things even more. You take pride in your work, services, job, and health now, and it shows! Watch for getting nitpicky, however. Fretting doesn’t become you!

Mercury is in your work and health sector from September 30-October 16. Consume all sorts of information about your work, skills, and health and then sort through what’s worth your time. This is a period for sorting out kinks and problems in your daily affairs. Your nerdy side comes out and people love you for it now.

Venus is here from October 14-November 6. This is a wonderful period for smoothing out differences with co-workers or with others with whom you share your regular daily routines. It’s also a time for injecting more beauty and warmth into your daily routines. Although you may not be especially productive in the traditional sense in your work until Mars enters this house too (on October 22nd), you’re working on getting things more balanced, beautiful, and harmonious, and that counts for a lot!

Mars is here from October 22-December 8. Approximately once every two years, Mars is a guest in this sector of your chart and revs you up, motivating you to work harder (or smarter) and get into better physical shape. Work at your own pace if possible, or you may get into conflicts with people you share your day with, such as co-workers.

Jupiter is here until October 9th. One of the best periods in twelve years for enjoying your work and health routines, and for opportunities to improve these things as well.

Your Solar Seventh House: Partnerships, Marriage, Negotiations, Balance

SCORPIO and ruler PLUTO/MARS. You come over as very easygoing, simple, and peace-loving, but you tend to attract partners who are very complex. Your relationships tend to be very passionate and often quite possessive as well.

The Sun is here from October 23-November 21. This is a period for taking special pride in your relationships, for presenting one of your most companionable faces to the world, and for taking charge of your connections and partnerships.

Mercury is in your partnership sector from October 17-November 5. Talk is sweet right now, and you’re going to be doing a lot of it. You are inclined to weigh decisions more carefully, and perhaps enjoy the process, particularly if it’s with someone special. Intelligent or talkative people enter your life now.

Venus is here from November 7-30. Another amazing time for companionability. Friendly, warm, loving, or supportive people are drawn to you now. You’re seeking peace in a partnership.

Mars is here from December 8th forward (until January 2018). There may be battles of sorts with others, and particularly a partner, but this can be bypassed if you work on staying active together rather than turning the increased energy of this transit on one another. If there is dirty laundry to air, now is the time it will surface, but the good news is that you’re not sweeping things under the carpet and you’re dealing with problems directly and efficiently.

Jupiter is here from October 9th forward (until November 2018). See more about this transit above and below. In sum, this is one of the best years for partnering and negotiating in twelve years.

Your Solar Eighth House: Others’ Money and Resources (Shared), Intimacy, Self-Empowerment, Transformation

SAGITTARIUS and ruler JUPITER. You might consider yourself rather lucky when it comes to intimate relationships, money or resources through partnerships, and support from others. You need to watch for overlooking, glossing over, or ignoring financial matters at times, simply because you’d rather not deal with the details.

The Sun is here from November 22-December 20. This is one of the most introspective periods of the year for you. You look before you leap now, preferring to observe and strategize rather than jump into action.

Mercury is in your intimacy sector from November 6-December 31 (retrograde for part of this – from December 3-22). You’re investing a lot into your intimate life. You are inclined to investigate and observe, sometimes overanalyzing others’ motives. However, you may learn important things, and possibly secrets, as your powers of perception are stronger now. Watch for becoming suspicious or for pushing too far for answers.

Venus is here from December 1-24. This is a good time for a partner’s income, for sorting out financial matters, for disagreements with money, property, or possessions to resolve in your favor, and for receiving loans or support. It can also be an exciting time for your sex life. This transit can help offset some of the more restrictive influences of Saturn in this sector, but is always experienced as a better period when Saturn isn’t here! (Saturn leaves this sector on the 19th, although it can still influence Tauruses born later in the sign).

Saturn is here almost all year, until December 19th. This transit points to some restrictions in your intimate or financial life. There may be less interest in intimacy for some during this transit. You may be taking a hard look at dependencies and over-attachment. However, it can also be a steady and predictable time for eighth house matters.

Your Solar Ninth House: Expansion, Education, Travel, Publishing, Promotion, Adventure

CAPRICORN and ruler SATURN. Generally speaking, you have a conservative approach to the matters ruled by the ninth house (travel, expansion, adventure, religion, philosophy, higher education, etc.). These matters fare best when Saturn is in good shape. Saturn is in excellent shape from December 19th, 2017, forward. They also fare better when the Sun, Venus, and Mercury are here and forming helpful aspects.

The Sun is here from January 1-19 and December 21-31 in 2017. This is a time of increased pride in your personal philosophy, morals, and general outlook. You are seeking out ways to add a little more adventure or excitement in your life.

Mercury is in your adventure sector from January 1-3 (retro) and January 12-February 6. This is a good time to research and discuss travel or educational opportunities.

Venus transits this area of your chart from December 25-31. Venus is happy here, subtly boosting your appeal. Tastes in love and pleasure are a little more exotic. You’re bolder and more adventurous in your love life.

Pluto is a long-term guest in this house (all year and beyond). You’re seeking more power through mind expansion, building your knowledge, traveling, or publishing. Your ideas and personal philosophy are evolving.

Saturn is here from December 19th forward (until the year 2020). Saturn is very comfortable in this position in your solar chart. This is a perhaps less exciting period of your life, but it’s a stabilizing and steady one. It’s easier to get your life into order under this influence.

Your Solar Tenth House: Professional and Public Matters, Career, Long-term Goals, Responsibility, Reputation, Life Path Goals

AQUARIUS and ruler URANUS/SATURN. These areas of life are a mix of unstable and stable, or these areas of life fluctuate between these states. For example, many Tauruses hold down jobs for years longer than others, but then experience a sudden break from their job or industry. You’re a valuable worker who stands out from the pack.

Your career and reputation sector is not a place of very much activity this year, and thus you may not see too many developments in these areas in 2017. However, the ruler of this sector, Uranus, is well-supported by Saturn in 2017, and this can point to a strengthening of your position.

The Sun is here from January 19-February 18. You are taking more pride in your career now. You’re recognized as a leader, and you more easily and readily take charge.

Mercury is in your professional sector from February 7-25. Your voice is heard during this period. You are speaking with authority. This can be a good time for careers involving sales and/or communications.

Venus is here from January 1-2. This is a period of coming across especially well with bosses, teachers, or parents, and for smooth public relations. Your reputation may get a boost.

Your Solar Eleventh House: Friendships, Community, Higher Aims, Dreams, Happiness Goals

PISCES and ruler NEPTUNE/JUPITER. You have an interesting mix of friends who are usually quite colorful. You have a real soft spot and much empathy for your friends. You may attract artist or unusual types as friends, and some drifters or people who end up deceiving or completely surprising you. In 2017, friendships seem to be status quo for the most. However, influences beginning at the end of 2017 (December 2017) and sticking with you into 2018 bring great benefits from friends and networks.

The Sun is here from February 18-March 20. This is a time of year for thinking about goals for building a happier, more satisfying life. Your spirits are good. Friendship and networking activity is favored.

Mercury is in your friendship and group sector from February 26-March 13. More activity with friends, groups, associates, and networks is likely now. Conversations are valuable.

Venus transits here from January 3-February 2 AND April 3-27 (retrograde until April 15th). Connections with friends are in focus. Some backtracking, stalling, and looking to the past is likely while Venus retrogrades. You may be in limbo about a relationship. For some, money from business can be delayed until the week of April 15th.

Mars is here from January 1-27. Mars brings a need for action, but sometimes it stimulates conflict due to impatience and a direct approach that demands facing problem areas head-on. This is a time for getting results, whether or not they stir up a bit of controversy. However, watch for impulsive and impatient behavior.

Neptune is a long-term guest in this house (all year and beyond). You are looking for a kindred spirit during this long-term transit. There can be a special connection or devotion to a friend, although there can be difficulties defining your relationship.

Chiron is a long-term guest in this house (all year and beyond). You connect with like-minded people who have similar backstories or childhood experiences.

Your Solar Twelfth House: Privacy, Anonymity, Endings, the Subconscious, the Soul, Self-Undoing

ARIES and ruler MARS. Aries is active and impulsive, and so is Mars energy. Although Taurus is a steady, predictable sign, you can be quick and final when it comes to ending things that have outworn their purpose. You should always watch for a tendency to keep things to yourself to the point that you’re self-sabotaging through impulsive or daring acts.

Mars moves at regular speed and in direct motion all year, suggesting these areas of life are more straightforward in 2017 than they were in 2016. Your ability to deal with inner demons and endings improves considerably.

The Sun shines its light here from March 20-April 19. This is a time for spiritual regeneration, some extra down time, and reflection on your next steps. This comes at an ideal time – when your ruler, Venus is retrograde. Reflect, consider, and observe instead of beginning all-new projects and taking definitive action.

Mercury is in your privacy sector from March 14-31. Thoughts turn to the past and you communicate less. Decisions take some time to form, and this is a natural process. Take your time. You may be reconsidering past actions.

Venus is here from February 3-April 2 (retrograde from March 4th forward, however) AND April 28-June 5. This is a time of putting some of your needs on hold so that you can take care of others. There can be a reclusive streak in you now, and benefits may come to your private world. You are compelled by the hidden, private, and inner worlds now. Especially while Venus is retrograde here, you may be reviewing your feelings or you can be in limbo.

Mars is here from January 28-March 9. You’re likely to feel a little frustrated with some of the elements of your life that don’t have an answer, and now you’re ready to take action on them. However, you may be in limbo or at an editing or finalizing stage with significant endeavors in your life. This is not the time to begin brand-new projects. You may be feeling limited, indecisive, or ineffective just for the time being. Honor your need for more rest.

Uranus is a long-term guest in this house (all year and beyond). You may be ending some things abruptly again this year as Uranus helps release you from unconscious habit patterns by stirring up your private life and interjecting some unusual coincidences into your life. This is a time for slowly but surely ridding yourself of secrets that have been wearing you down, and from attachments that have been curtailing your freedom.

 

Other Notable Influences in 2017

Juno spends most of the year in your solar ninth and tenth houses. These are areas where you’re seeking more personal power this year. Freedom is important to you this year, but you’re also working to establish yourself as an authority in your field or as an effective manager. If you’ve been treated unfairly, you’ll do whatever you can to fix the imbalance. This ambition can help you to focus on skills development, courses, and training. The year is excellent for these endeavors.

May and June are powerful for building a business or money-making idea, for starting a savings plan or boosting a current one, and for developing talents.

You’re more vocal about your favorite causes in July and August, when you aim to make a difference.

November and December are strong for securing a relationship and devoting more concentrated time and energy to making a connection work.

 

Outer planets move through the chart very slowly. As such, if you were born early or in the middle of the sign, for example, you’ll feel the acute elements of outer planet transits earlier (and sometimes years earlier) than those born later in the same sign. Below are some refinements for these transits based on the three decans of Taurus.

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

2017: Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

Until October 10th, Jupiter continues to move through your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Jupiter is fun, positive, and likes to do things in a big way, making this is a fantastic time for bringing new life to your daily routines, diet, work, and fitness programs. Stale, lifeless elements of your routine can be put behind you now. You're finding ways to make things fun and rewarding rather than simply going through the motions. With Jupiter, you have to watch for taking on too much or going too big. Yes, finding more meaning in your work and daily affairs is exciting, but if you shoot too high, then you may end up with more than you can handle. Any type of service that you may provide is likely to go well now, mainly because you are finding more joy in being of service. You are more successful in hiring good workers, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. You find more enjoyment in the work you do, and it is easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle. Work tends to be very available to you--perhaps even too available in that you don't know which one to choose. The best way to handle this transit is to take pride in and recognize your usefulness--this is bound to give you a great deal of joy, and you are likely to be rewarded as a result. As well, the more integrity, directness, and honesty you bring to your services and work, the more "payback" you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more apt to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don't watch your appetite and/or choice of food. Some people get a new pet during this cycle, and this brings them much joy. 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 something, and this could mean taking on more work than you can handle, getting lost in the details and organization necessary to keep your daily life running smoothly, and so forth. Watch that overconfidence doesn't lead you to overload your plate.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth house, from January 1-February 5, and from June 9-October 10.

From October 10th forward, Jupiter, the planet of growth and expansion, transits your solar seventh house. During this cycle, you may enjoy benefits through marriage, serious partnerships, common-law partnerships, business partnerships, negotiations, and/or contractual agreements. This is a period of your life when you're more likely to establish a significant partnership, or you could be enhancing an existing relationship. It's one of the better transits under which to get married. You can negotiate more successfully than usual, and, if applicable, you are more likely to win in legal matters or other forms of official negotiations. Financial benefits could possibly come through partnerships. For those of you who are already partnered, you are likely to find more joy in close relationships due to a more easygoing and tolerant attitude towards others and partnering in general. It's especially important to be fair with one another and to share your ideas and ideals. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past might more easily be resolved now, and even more casual disputes are likely to be settled during this cycle. The need for freedom in your social relationships is strong, however, and if it is not forthcoming, you could feel caged in and restless. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from the same. Good publicity may come your way. If your work involves the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, or you might receive good reviews, feedback, or word-of-mouth opportunities. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, or successful new ones are entered into this year. 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. Also, although Jupiter is generally considered positive and happy energy, close relationships could end during this cycle, but if they do, it's generally in order to move on to a happier, healthier, more tolerant relationship. A warm, open, and honest approach to others wins you positive new relationships or enhances existing ones.

Jupiter transits opposition your Sun/Ascendant. You might fall victim to wasting opportunities, time, or resources when transiting Jupiter opposes your natal Sun. Generally, this transit is a "feel-good" transit. You are likely to be feeling quite powerful and optimistic. The problem with the transit, for some, is that you might over-reach as a result of these inflated feelings of importance. This need not be the case at all. In fact, you might find that you receive a much-needed boost to your ego at this time.

 

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

Saturn asks us to follow at least some of the rules, be responsible, and pick up our socks wherever he’s found in the chart. Saturn spends approximately 2-1/2 years in a sign. In the eighth house now, 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 anymore. 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 concerns that lead you to believe you need certain things in order to survive. Taxes might be an issue during this period. Facing the realities of debt may be another.

Some of you may be supporting a partner, or a partner could be earning a little less. Towards the end of this transit, 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 no longer be available during this period. This requires you to assume more independence regarding 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 quite 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. You’ll find that you waste considerably less energy by facing up to realities rather than living your life procrastinating and feeling vaguely guilty all of the time. It’s an excellent time for sorting through your finances and dealing with the power dynamics in a partnership more equitably.

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.

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 2017 for your decan of Taurus.

Neptune 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.

 

Until May 2017, the North Node transits your solar fifth house, and you are pointed in the direction of creativity, uniqueness, standing out from the crowd, love affairs, and sharing your heart. You can benefit greatly from making 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. Don't be afraid to get creative, go steady, and stand out!

From May forward, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fourth house, and some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your private life, home, and family. You need to let go of your tendency to over-manage your life and others' lives, to relax your standards of perfection and achievement, and to avoid falling victim to living through the eyes of society instead of valuing our own personal (as opposed to professional/status) achievements. By working on your inner foundation and your "base", success will ricochet back to your public and professional lives. And, of course, your domestic world is sure to improve by leaps and bounds.

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

This is a great year for studying spirituality or tuning into your spiritual needs. Friendships can be unusual and inspiring at times. Pressures on your intimate and financial lives ease and you feel more comfortable in 2017.

For those born approximately May 7-10, and those with an Ascendant of 17 to 19 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.

This year, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fourth house, and some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your private life, home, and family.

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

2017: Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends

This year, you get excellent support from Chiron, and you are more personable than ever. People respect you and your choices. You are more comfortable in your own skin. However, there can be some new challenges with finances, particularly from sources other than your regular income. You may need to sort out debts, whether they’re owed to you or you owe. Facing dependencies is likely this year, and doing so will improve your life many times over, even if it’s uncomfortable for a while.

 

From January 1-March 24 then from August 20th forward, Jupiter continues to move through your solar sixth house. During this cycle, you are likely to see benefits in the areas of work and health, as well as daily routines. This transit enhances your ability to handle the details required to do a good job, and others become more aware of your skills. Benefits may come through work itself, co-workers, or employees during this cycle. Jupiter is fun, positive, and likes to do things in a big way, making this is a fantastic time for bringing new life to your daily routines, diet, work, and fitness programs.

The most favorable periods for these matters occur while Jupiter is in direct motion in your solar sixth house, from January 1-February 5, and from August 20-forward.

Saturn transits your solar eighth house this year. This transit will run until at least the end of 2019 for your decan. This transit is new to your decan, making its themes a little more intense in 2017, after which you become increasingly more comfortable with the energy.

Saturn asks us to follow at least some of the rules, be responsible, and pick up our socks wherever he’s found in the chart. Saturn spends approximately 2-1/2 years in a sign. In the eighth house now, 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 anymore. 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 concerns that lead you to believe you need certain things in order to survive. Taxes might be an issue during this period. Facing the realities of debt may be another. Some of you may be supporting a partner, or a partner could be earning a little less.

Towards the end of this transit, 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 no longer be available during this period. This requires you to assume more independence regarding 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 quite 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. You’ll find that you waste considerably less energy by facing up to realities rather than living your life procrastinating and feeling vaguely guilty all of the time. It’s an excellent time for sorting through your finances and dealing with the power dynamics in a partnership more equitably.

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.

Uranus begins or 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 in preparation for Uranus’ transit of your Sun or Ascendant.

Neptune continues its lengthy transit through your solar tenth house this year, 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.

Pluto continues its lengthy transit through your solar eighth house this year, This transit continues to have the effect of gradually deepening your interest in the hidden, mysterious, or taboo side of life, as well as your own deeper nature, primal urges, and desire for control. Attitudes towards dependencies on others, finances, and intimacy continue to transform this year.

For those of you born May 12-20 and with a Taurus Ascendant of 21-29 degrees, Chiron is transiting sextile your Sun/Ascendant this year. This influence is a 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.

Until November 2017, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar fourth house, and some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through your private life, home, and family. You need to let go of your tendency to over-manage your life and others' lives, to relax your standards of perfection and achievement, and to avoid falling victim to living through the eyes of society instead of valuing our own personal (as opposed to professional/status) achievements. By working on your inner foundation and your "base", success will ricochet back to your public and professional lives. And, of course, your domestic world is sure to improve by leaps and bounds.

From November 2017 forward, the North Node of the Moon is transiting your solar third house, and this suggests that some of the greatest joys - and challenges - come through learning, communications, and connecting. You need to learn to listen to others so that you discover the value of true communication and exchange and to see both sides of a situation. Learning to slow down, to be sensitive to social graces and networks, and to sensitize yourself to others' needs and communications, will release you from nervous tension and help you achieve more happiness and inner balance.
