Areas of Expansion in 2017 for Taurus:

Your Taurus 2017 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.

Work
Health
Service
Habits
Partnerships
Negotiations

Until October 10, 2017, you experience a boost to your work and health endeavors. The desire or need to expand a work project can be in focus now. This transit continues since September 2016.

Your work, daily routines, and health routines continue to expand and grow. This is a time when your work projects or duties expand, or you have more employment opportunities. You can be so confident of your abilities to take on projects and endeavors, however, that you might overload your plate, so do watch for that. This influence is with you until October 10, 2017.

You find more joy in your work (as long as you don’t take on too much), self-improvement endeavors, and taking care of your health. If you provide a service to others, it is likely to prosper. You are more successful in hiring people to work for you, if applicable, and improvements to your working environment are likely. It can be easier than usual to find employment now. You may get a new job during this cycle or significantly improve an existing one. Work tends to be very available to you. There is a tendency now to focus on the details of your work, and you might sometimes feel a little overwhelmed with monotonous tasks.

You are proud of how useful you are to others during this cycle. The more integrity and honesty you bring to your services, the more “payback” you will receive. Health is likely to prosper now, and medical procedures or programs, if necessary, are more likely to be successful. There may be an inclination to put on some weight, however, if you don’t watch your sweet tooth. Some people get a new pet during this cycle.

Your work might involve more services or the assisting of others during this cycle, and for some, health-related or healing professions can be attractive at this time.

This can be a time for transforming your working life and when you put a tremendous amount of effort into your work or daily routines.

Overload or the magnification of problems surrounding work can be experienced during this cycle, especially in March and August-September, when you might experience vague health issues, the need for time away from your duties either to take care of yourself or of others requiring care, or the consequences of taking on so much that you have trouble taking time for yourself or vacationing and learning. Socializing may also interfere with your workload.

However, for the most part, this is a good time for gaining some appreciation for what you do or for your skills, for finding work, and for working relationships. Particularly in August, you are better able to manage your time and work on securing your life in key ways. Practical accomplishment is possible now. This is also an excellent period for fitness and health programs that are sensible enough to work and produce lasting positive results.

From October 10th onward, your relationships receive a boost of forward-moving energy. This cycle that lasts almost thirteen months helps you succeed in partnership.

Your partnerships, relating abilities, and powers of negotiation begin to grow and expand. New partnership opportunities (yes, even plural) can arrive now, or the chance to bring fresh energy to an existing committed relationship emerges. Relationships entered into now are generally successful and happy — at least for the time being, they are mutually beneficial. Sometimes, this transit absolves an existing partnership, but if this is the case, it is likely to come as a relief, or it is a “blessing in disguise.” Meeting someone better for you at this point in your life may be a reason for this, although it’s important not to jump into something new blindly. Your ability to get along with others is enhanced as you are especially willing to compromise, and you are more appealing than usual. This influence will be with you until November 8, 2018.

The positive potentials of this transit are many: You can negotiate more successfully, and, if applicable, win in legal matters. Legal matters or challenging relationship problems from the past can be resolved, and more casual disputes can be settled amicably as well. You may find yourself taking on the role of consultant or advisor, or you could benefit from help from same. Good publicity may come your way. If your career has you working with or before the public, you can safely expect increased popularity now, particularly if you do counseling or negotiating in your job. Relationships and partnerships benefit from expansive, warm energy, difficult relationships may be absolved, and/or successful new ones are entered into during this period.

Jupiter rules your sector of intimacy, shared assets, and transformation. Any of these things can be tied with partnerships during this time. A romantic or business partnership could form through connections you make in your pursuit of lifestyle changes, or a lifestyle change/makeover may result from a collaboration. A partnership may strengthen as you combine and merge your resources. For some, there can be a sudden partnership that becomes intimate quickly.

This can also be a time when shared beliefs, interests, and ideologies are a focal point in a close relationship. For some, a significant person comes into your life with common educational goals or belief systems, possibly through long-distance connections, schools, or publishing/online activities. For many of you, you are attracting people who want to help, who are on your side, and who take a strong interest in you.

Potential negatives: You may be attracting partners who are more concerned with freedom than with pairing, or who seem to be quite extravagant or full of themselves. There could be troubles associated with an existing partner’s extravagance or demand for freedom, and you might feel this from time to time beginning in December. There can be difficulties merging assets and dealing with power dynamics in your relationships. You’ll get a chance to work through conflicts of interests and overload as you move into 2017.

However, for the most part, you are likely to enjoy an improved social life during this cycle. You learn a lot through your experiences and interactions with an important “other.” Beginning in December, you are in an excellent opportunity period for taking advantage of the benefits of this influence. Alliances might be made, and partnering matters run smoothly. Friendships become very cozy for some of you, and a spirit of friendship can figure strongly in a partnership. A partnership can be a source of inspiration, and the realization of a long-term dream or goal seems more likely now through the support or positivity of a friend/partner. People coming into your life can be creative, artistic, or inspire your creativity. There can be more compassion and warmth in a relationship now.

Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:

Your Taurus 2017 Horoscope points to areas of contraction, restriction, and necessary “slimming down” in order to test for stable foundations. There are always areas of life that require more simplicity. Tests may be part of the picture as you learn that life with only growth and expansion can run away with itself.

Support
Intimacy & Sexuality
Sharing & Shared Assets
Finances
Beliefs
Education
Worldview
Travel

Until December 19, 2017, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach involve the sector that rules intimacy, sharing, and shared finances, or money and property that come from sources other than your own personal income. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen.

This influence began in December 23rd, 2014, retreated for the summer of 2015, and stays with you until December 19, 2017. It can be felt most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Taurus. This year, those born with an Ascendant of 21 to 30 degrees of Taurus and those born from May 12-22 are most directly affected.

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 decrease, or another form of financial support may be taken away or limited during this cycle, requiring you to assume more independence concerning making a living.

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. In April and November, the challenges of this position are more likely to be felt. You may need to deal with addictive behaviors, difficulties with a friend, or disillusionments about a long-term goal that no longer seems feasible or viable. You may be dealing with sexual or power-related undercurrents that disrupt a friendship, or your relationship with a partner could intrude upon your enjoyment of friends and groups.

However, it’s a strong time for handling financial matters, especially debts and taxes, in a logical and realistic manner. These are unlikely to be drastic changes, but rather more along the lines of slow but sure progress, little by little. Helping you along are aspects peaking in August (a very productive time), and May and November (powerful for release from burdens). The work you do could be supported by a spouse’s money or other people’s money in general. Or, your work may simply be related to others’ talents and resources in 2017. Help seems to be magically there when you need it, and your own awesome strength and faith is always there to draw upon. You are learning to put more value in the intangibles in life.

From December 19, 2017, and onward, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach involve the sector of your solar chart that rules higher learning, belief systems, travel, and adventurous experiences. There may be tests of sorts in these areas of life as if the universe is checking that the foundations are strong. Those things built on weak foundations may very well crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong, however, will endure and strengthen further.

This influence will be with you until December 2020. You’ll feel it most strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Taurus. In 2017, it’s only affecting the first two degrees of Taurus Ascendant and the first two days of Sun in Taurus. However, it’s an influence that’s up and coming and “in orb” for the first decan of Taurus.

Tests can come to your belief system or learning endeavors during this cycle. The need for reliable, solid, practical training can become very apparent now. You might scrutinize the belief system that you have held to date, and question your faith – in others, in yourself, and in life itself. You are seeking out practical and workable solutions to problems.

You might find that your ability to leisure-travel or engage in higher learning is limited during this period, for whatever reason. Travel may be for business purposes only. You may not be as adventurous, preferring to stick around home and your neighborhood, or perhaps for some, stuck there. This can also be a period of teaching others what you have learned.

The term of this transit is one of greater realism and practicality. You feel more capable of meeting your responsibilities. Life feels robust and stable, and the benefits of this influence are likely to be felt most strongly when Saturn officially forms a trine to your Sun or Ascendant. Now and in the coming years, you are likely to enjoy many opportunities to set your life in order. Saturn is in very good shape, transiting in harmony to your sign and also transiting the area of your solar chart that it rules.

Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed:

Your 2017 Taurus Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.

Spirituality
the Past
Private Life

In March 2011, you entered a lengthy cycle of review of your past attachments, those things keeping you from exploring your individuality, and the things that make you unique. This process spans many years (it’s with you throughout 2017 and beyond, until March 2019).

Initially, there can be some elements of your private life that are exposed. Secrets that you had kept might surface, for example. This might have felt uncomfortable at first, but it’s part of a process that involves detaching yourself from certain areas of your private life and your past. Many of you are more accustomed to this energy, but for some of you, those born later in the sign of Taurus (25 to 28.5 degree Taurus Ascendant and May 15-19), this energy is relatively new.

The aim now is to free yourself from attitudes that have restricted you from moving forward with your life. Ultimately, you’ll be freer to start anew – a life that in which you express yourself more authentically. Circumstances are such that this process comes more easily and naturally May and November. You are working hard at letting go of those attachments that simply don’t serve you well any longer, and you’re rather fearless doing so.

Changes can feel a little more challenging particularly in March and September when there can be problems balancing your attention to work and private time.

Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:

Your 2017 Taurus Horoscope reveals areas of life in which change and transformation take place. It’s a time for “out with the old, in with the new.”

Beliefs
Travel
Attitudes & Outlook
Career
Home
Family

Attitudes, belief systems, and learning continue to transform this year. You may be purging some of the beliefs or attitudes that no longer work for you. There can be a wonderful exposure to a new perspective, lifestyle, or culture. Some of you might publish a creative work and meet with success.

There may be people in your life who are bothered by the changes you are making, and these problems can be magnified particularly in March and August. Circumstances may be such that you take on too many tasks, and even though you enjoy your work and daily routines very much during this period, they can keep you from exploring the world or expanding your experiences.

In 2017, the Moon’s Nodes continue to affect your amusement/creativity and romance sector until May, and you can benefit greatly from expressing yourself more playfully and uniquely. This is one of the major keys to happiness now. The Nodes and Eclipses also activate your sector of home and family. It’s a time for attending to the home and hearth, for better balancing your professional and personal lives, and for discovering your needs for nurture and security. From May forward, there is a real need to get your domestic life into order, as this can bring fantastic benefits and much joy to your life, particularly around the eclipses in August (career, responsibility, and public life eclipse) and February and August (home and family eclipse).

Your Planetary Ruler in 2017: Venus is your planetary ruler. Venus is retrograde from March 4-April 15, 2017. (Keep in mind there are preamble and hangover periods involved with this, and to be super safe, consider the dates from January 30-May 18). This is not an ideal time for new endeavors, beginnings, or launches, but is useful for looking back and learning from the past. More power to you when your ruler is in your sign, and this year, this period is from June 6th to July 4th.
