Areas of Expansion in 2022 for Taurus:
Your Taurus 2022 Horoscope points to areas of life that are destined to expand and grow.
- Friendships
- Community
- Business Income
- Associates
- Dreams/Happiness Goals
- Spirituality
- Privacy
- Mental and emotional wellness
Until May 10th, and then October 28th-December 20th, 2022, your connections to others, group associations, and friendships continue to expand and grow. This influence began in 2021 and continues–in steps–in 2022. It’s a pleasant, supportive transit that only comes around approximately every 12 years.
This influence spans three date ranges, and we’re on the second and third wave this year:
- from May 13-July 28, 2021,
- from December 28, 2021-May 10, 2022,
- and from October 28, 2022-December 20, 2022
In other words, you’re experiencing these themes in steps, the first step of which occurred last year from May to July. You begin 2022 having just begun the second step.
It’s now the time to feel considerably more confident about the future. You’re gaining confidence in your ability to set plans in motion that will allow you to accomplish some of your most cherished hopes and dreams.
This transit can seem to fill you with ideas about the future. You are planting seeds, so to speak, aiming to get started on projects that will reap the rewards in the future. While this can be exciting, try not to take on more than you can handle. Your vision is quite optimistic, and you might overestimate what you can do down the road! However, one or two projects can be inspiring and also quite innovative. Remind yourself that more is not necessarily better and that sometimes “less is more.”
With more contact with others, whether it’s about an expanded real-life group of connections or online, you are sure to come up with new ideas and gain inspiration. Others can point you in new directions. There can be a cause that you work towards enthusiastically. A new communications project can excite you and bring you into contact with interesting, helpful people. Business income should increase.
It can also be a time of budding friendships and/or group involvement. New people may come into your life and seek your companionship, or existing friendships refresh and enhance. Opportunities to advance or new learning experiences can come through associates, friendships, and networking. For many, this can be a vital time for an internet business.
People can be friendlier than usual to you, and you may benefit from group connections or networking. You are popular within groups, and circumstances have a way of turning in your favor. You can accomplish wonders with your initiatives or causes that you believe in.
You’re in great shape to enjoy the fruits of your recent labor, promotion, and successes. You display more tolerance of others, and you’re inclined to take interest in alternative subjects.
Potential challenges: Over-emphasis on activities that take you away from your practical responsibilities, too often.
However, for the most part, you are likely to take advantage of this period in your life to expand your social life and friends base and dream up exciting new paths for the future. You’re in a particularly good position to connect with friends and benefit from networking or putting plans into motion. It’s also a powerful time to lead a group, organize, and start up a new endeavor, especially an innovative one.
Booster transits help you in February, April, and May. Friendships may be quirky and at times confusing, but also bring a lot of pleasure into your life. You could find new friends in people with strong Pisces and Sagittarius traits. Friendships with people whose cultural background is very different than yours could be enlightening. The connections you make this year help you grow and thrive, encouraging your independence and self-acceptance.
From May 10-October 28, and then from December 20th onward, the areas of life that expand, grow, and reward you are your spiritual world, compassion, private life, and tolerance. These are periods for looking within and learning your inner strength. These are also times for appreciating some level of solitude.
This influence spans two date ranges, with the first wave happening in full this year, and the second one starting near the end of 2022:
- from May 10-October 28, 2022,
- and from December 20, 2022-May 16, 2023.
You’re experiencing these themes in steps, starting this year from May to October.
Matters from the past magnify in your life now. Your inclination is to sort through the attitudes that serve you well and the behaviors that need to go so you can grow, improve, and thrive. This theme prepares you for the times when Jupiter transits your sign –when you’ll then be ready to share yourself more fully with the world. [By the way, Jupiter will be in Taurus from May 16th, 2023, to May 25, 2024.]
This is generally a warm, protective cycle, although with Jupiter in the background in your chart, there may be some sense that you are not truly living or experiencing your life to the fullest or that your joy in life is not as apparent to others. It’s a somewhat more withdrawn, reflective period of your life. You may be exploring the hidden elements of life or developing your spirituality now.
You may also be more markedly compassionate and empathetic. Events occurring now expand your inner world and your innate compassion, warmth, or inner eye.
This can be a powerful period for volunteer work or work done behind the scenes, in private, or in the helping professions.
Because this transit connects your sector of intimacy, shared resources, and debts with your sector of solitude and endings, this can also be a time when your relationship with intimacy or debts is going through changes. There can be hidden or elusive elements to your intimate life or shared resources, or you could be putting a long-standing problem along these lines behind you. It’s possible you’re dealing with secret debt or a hidden relationship.
Potential challenges: Escapism. It can be tempting to escape your everyday responsibilities and challenges. In particular, you might try to avoid reliance on drugs, drinking, or other “glamorous” forms of escape. It’s true that you need more breaks from the usual, but it’s best to aim for healthy forms of hiatus.
Jupiter’s influence is generally considered positive, and it is, ultimately. However, it acts to magnify the area of the chart that it affects, and at times it can be uncomfortable if you are having difficulties in this area.
In your case, if you are lonely or feel helpless, and if you have trouble facing your past, then this influence can heighten these issues. Ultimately, it’s for good. Initial magnification can help you see, starting the process that leads to improvements. The cosmos asks you to surrender some of your attachments and surrender to the unknown. Releasing control is necessary.
Building your faith is the work you are doing now. While you tend to play a supportive role to others, if taken too far, you will need to draw some boundaries with your energy and time. There can be some strains on mental and physical health in spots.
However, what you’re doing now leads to significant improvements. There can be stronger joy in being of service to others, but do be careful that you take care of yourself as well.
Connecting with people from your past can figure strongly, or you can be quite focused on past friendships. Sometimes with this influence, a previous enemy or person you didn’t like now becomes a friend.
For the most part, you are likely to feel emotionally secure and supported during this cycle. Your perceptions heighten. Your ability to make sacrifices for others increases, and you can build your confidence in yourself as you help and support others.
This influence is particularly favorable for activities taking place “behind the scenes” or otherwise privately and in the soul. It’s a cycle in which you become more compassionate, empathetic, and sensitive or get in deeper touch with these traits. You might work on ridding yourself of self-destructive tendencies, deep-seated fears, and deeply-ingrained tendencies towards guilty feelings. You are more able to get in touch with your subconscious mind, and in fact, confronting your fears can be pretty pleasurable during this period.
Charity, giving/donating anonymously, volunteering, and helping others without expectation of reward will be most fulfilling during this cycle. Helping others helps you.
Your dreaming world may be especially rich yet also lighter, helpful, and more intuitive. Meditation and retreats may benefit you now, as they regenerate and invigorate your spirit. You can find much pleasure and growth in solitude and contemplation.
More vital interest in spirituality is possible during this period. There can be surprising events and changes to your inner world. Intuition heightens. Aim to pay attention to what comes to you in the way of dreams or hunches. You may very well discover new interests and desires that help you rid yourself of outdated habits or attachments to the past that no longer serve you well. A secret might come to light for some of you that serves the same purpose.
Your dreaming world is active in 2022. Spiritual teachers may come into your life. A feeling of spiritual protection is with you, and your faith in the “unseen” begins to grow.
Areas of Contraction and Lessons in Simplicity:
Your Taurus 2022 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.
- Career
- Life Path
- Reputation
All year, the areas of your life that require a “back to basics” approach involve the sector of your solar chart that rules career, reputation, responsibilities, long-term goals, and your life path. This is the most public area of your chart. It depends on your age or the current stage of your life, this area of your solar chart relates more to your career path or your responsibilities and public life. Authority figures are ruled by this sector of the chart as well. Again depending on your current circumstances, these can be parents, bosses, managers, the government, and teachers.
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 crack under the pressure of these tests. Those that are strong will endure and strengthen. You can help this process along by actively strengthening vulnerable areas.
This influence began and wove in and out of influence in 2020, but it became a consistent transit in 2021, and continues to be so all of 2022. Saturn will transit this area of your chart until March 2023.
You’ll feel these themes more strongly earlier or later in the cycle, depending on whether you were born earlier or later in the sign of Taurus. In 2022, those most directly affected by this transit are those born from approximately May 1-14 and those with an Ascendant of 12 to 25 degrees Taurus.
During this cycle, your career requires critical decisions and choices. Major projects may come to fruition, and this can be a time for reaping their rewards, but there can be some disappointment now as well if you haven’t achieved what you wanted to accomplish. You are certainly more accountable for what you have and haven’t done.
Projects that you have been working on behind the scenes or that you’ve left unfinished might come to fruition, or you could be using them to further your career. Your career might involve more altruistic goals or helping others could figure strongly. You may need to employ some caution with regards to elements from your past, as these might come before the public eye in some way during this cycle.
You may acquire a higher position now, and you are likely to feel the weight of increased responsibilities that come with it. There can be issues to handle with a parent or parent figure, or a boss/authority figure in your life.
While this period can be a tad difficult at times, particularly when Saturn forms a square to your Sun or Ascendant, there are some dazzling spots, making it a rewarding period overall, particularly if you focus more on long-term benefits and less on short-term frustrations.
It’s a solid time to show the world what you can do. Success can be realized now. If you’ve been working hard at a project or endeavor, it may culminate at this time.
Nevertheless, you can sometimes do battle with your personal needs for more independence. Occasional clashes with authority are possible. When you try to express your originality or individuality, you could feel a bit off-center and ungrounded. This is a time to free yourself from certain old habits but also to establish new and healthy habits or routines.
Saturn is in one of the signs that it rules, Aquarius, during this period, and performs well here as a result. The last time Saturn moved through Aquarius was from 1991-early 1994. Many of you (especially those with a Taurus Ascendant – What’s My Ascendant?) will enjoy a career peak of sorts at some point during this cycle — this is a time of achievement, accomplishment, harvest, recognition, and the taking on of new responsibilities. If you’ve cut corners, however, this can be a time of dealing with those consequences and making things right.
Areas of Excitement, Innovation, Independence, and Speed: The Self
Your 2022 Taurus Horoscope points to areas of your life that seem to speed up so that you can take some risks, innovate, and revolutionize.
- Personality
- Independence
All year, you are compelled to make changes. This exciting transit lasts a total of approximately seven years. You’re feeling major rumblings of change again in 2022, although you could find them easier to manage than in previous years.
The image you present to the world and your personality alter quite rapidly now and in the years ahead. You are embracing change, pushing yourself beyond your normal limits, expressing your independent streak, and taking a few personal risks.
The need to express yourself differently remains strong as Uranus transits your Sun sign. We are arriving at the midpoint of this transit in 2022.
Potential negatives: While personal changes are necessary and perhaps inevitable, foolish risk-taking and pointless rebellion are not! You don’t need to throw away everything from your past or totally clean the slate in order to express your independence. Taurus knows these things intrinsically, but with influences occurring now, it can be helpful to remind yourself. Aim to tame your urges to rebel if it’s just for the sake of it, or to prove something to the world. Answer your instincts rather than simply react to others if you feel restricted or confined.
Otherwise, this is a time for discovering your own unique path, and you may be making a bit of a splash as you forge ahead. Your sign has a reputation for being quite content and easygoing, as you tend to seek out harmony, sometimes at all costs. However, this new theme in your life suggests you won’t risk feelings of being confined, limited, or unauthentic just for some measure of peace.
Changing your career path can be in focus now, and it affects your sense of freedom and the expression of your personality. For some, becoming your own boss can be in focus.
Tauruses most affected by this transit in 2022 are those born from approximately May 1-9 and those with an Ascendant of approximately 11-19 degrees Taurus.
Boosters happen, particularly in February and July, the key to success seems to be to seek opportunities where you typically don’t look. You attract support or well wishes from others, especially friends, and you are thinking more positively about your future. As you change and evolve, be especially mindful of how you are letting go of the past. Do so with sensitivity and mindfulness so that you turn over a new leaf with more confidence and pride.
You might find yourself attracting people or lessons into your life that encourage you to detach from traditions or conventions that have kept you from growing. It’s a good time to make pivotal friendships or group connections.
Areas of Change, Purging, & Transformation:
Your 2022 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
- Independence
- Personality
- One-to-One Relationships/Partnerships
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 creative work and meet with success.
You are in excellent shape for boosting your life experiences or studies. Meeting people, even virtually, or studying new ideas or topics can be life-changing.
February is particularly strong for boosting learning, clout, and sense of adventure. You’re approaching your life or topics of interest and projects with more gusto and passion. You can be a mentor or help others in significant ways, or you could be working with the public in some capacity, influencing others. May brings another boost related to friendships, happiness goals, and pursuing your dreams. It’s a good time to connect with people who help you reach your goals. An improvement to your life or lifestyle is likely.
In 2022, the Moon’s Nodes and eclipse activity have moved from your sectors of shared finances, material and emotional support, and your intimate life, to questions of independence and partnership.
Transits this year emphasize lessons related to independence, courage, self-reliance, and partnership. They nudge you towards understanding your needs for autonomy and companionship. You’re exploring these themes, and you’re also trying to find a good balance.
With the North Node moving through your solar first house from January 18th forward. This is a powerful nudge to better yourself and improve your life! It’s a year for developing true self confidence–allowing yourself to shine.
This points to a genuine need to learn how to rely on yourself, which ultimately will bring you more joy and opportunity. It’s a time for you to reach a balance between partnering and independence. Your personality and your partnerships evolve in important ways. Personal appearance, your body, your image, and your independence are areas of special focus in 2022. There can be important relationship changes this year and the next.
Your Planetary Ruler in 2022: Venus is your planetary ruler. You begin the year 2022 in the midst of a Venus retrograde cycle, but then you’re free. With your ruler back to its normal speed, life feels a little smoother.
Venus turned retrograde at the tail-end of 2021: from December 19, 2021, to January 29, 2022. (Keep in mind there are preamble and hangover periods involved with this–Venus comes out of its retrograde shadow on March 1st). This is not an ideal time for new endeavors, beginnings, or launches, but it’s a useful period for looking back and learning from the past. Rest, reflect, and reconsider.
More power to you when your ruler is in your sign, and in 2022, this period is from May 28th to June 22nd. Better dates for Venus are February 16, April 30-May 1, June 20-21, August 2, September 25-26, and November 12-13.

So, for example, the start date of Taurus can be April 20th, 1999, at 8:48 AM Eastern, but the next year, Taurus begins on April 19th, 2000, at 2:39 PM Eastern.
