Taurus Monthly Horoscope: December 2017

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:

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

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until December 21st:

The Sun continues to highlight your solar eighth house. Your attention turns inward, as well as to close personal relationships on a deeper level. Personal transformations, personal power, and intimate matters fulfill you most during this cycle. There may be a strong focus on other's money, such as the resources of a partner, inheritance, banking and loans, or taxes.

You are more intense in your mood and disposition, and perhaps even secretive, at this time of year. You are more in touch with the deeper and even primal elements of your own personality, and more able to see these things in others. This can be a determined and personally powerful time of year if you apply the energy of this transit constructively.

From December 21st forward:

This month, with the Sun spotlighting your solar ninth house, your focus turns outward, away from the more personal concerns that have occupied your thoughts in the last months. More than any other time during the year, you are feeling most adventurous and willing to take a leap of faith. This is a cycle in which you seek a higher meaning to your life, and/or seek out new experiences that take you beyond the here and now, and beyond the mundane details of day-to-day life. Anything that broadens your experiences attracts now.

A lack of superficiality finds you straight to the point, interested in the truth of things. It would be wise for you to consider scheduling a vacation, adventure of sorts, or a course that expands your mind. These don't have to happen now, but taking the time to recognize your needs for escaping the daily grind, taking a few risks, and feeding your spirit for self-expression through some form of adventure or higher learning, will help you to feel good about yourself. The only caution with this cycle is that you could lose touch with managing everyday affairs and important details.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until the 24th: 

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

From the 25th forward: 

Venus graces your solar ninth house during this period. A taste for the exotic takes hold during this cycle. Routine affairs simply don't seem to satisfy. You receive pleasure from anything that expands your horizons, both physically and mentally. Foreign people and places may particularly appeal now. You tend to be expansive and generous when it comes to love. A love interest who attracts you during this cycle may be somebody who you previously wouldn't consider attractive, or someone whose cultural background is very different than yours. You have a taste for the exotic and the spirit to match. Public relations work, promotion, and other such endeavors are favored now. It is more about how you express yourself than the specifics of what you are saying that helps sway others to your position. There could be especial rapport with foreigners and with women if you are traveling during this period. You are all the more attractive and charming with this position, which increases your popularity. If a romance were to begin now, it is more likely to be with someone of a different background or educational level, or someone you meet through travel. You have a taste for the exotic now that can show up in many areas of your life--who you are attracted to, what you buy, the kind of art or entertainment you enjoy, and so forth.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

All month:

Mercury continues to transit your solar eighth house. The ability to analyze and rationalize some of the deeper elements inside yourself and in your intimate life now can benefit you. This is also a good time for sorting out finances, particularly money shared or coming from other sources other than your own personal income.

You might particularly enjoy discussing topics that you typically don't verbalize with someone special during this cycle. Anything taboo, mysterious, or puzzling can be especially fascinating for you just now. You have little interest in small talk. You are more aware of subtleties and nuances during this cycle, and you can use this increased insightfulness to improve your life.

Mercury is retrograde from December 3-22:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar eighth house this time, extra care should be exercised regarding any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality just for now, or approach these matters with more sensitivity if they can't be left for a better time. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend during this period, and in fact it's an excellent period for review. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with financial officials and intimate partners; or take this time to re- examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until the 9th:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters. If there are disagreements and disputes that erupt on the job now, they may be due to a feeling of stress or impatience, or they could come from your desire to get things done independently. It's best to apply energy productively to completing projects that are unfinished or even to get ahead of yourself. It's a strong period for feeling motivated for starting a new health or fitness routine.

From the 9th forward:

Mars energizes and animates your solar seventh house. Partnerships may suffer from ego conflicts, or opposition from others may be challenging. Use the extra energy that Mars brings to this sector of your chart to work cooperatively on relationship problems. You may even find that you seem to need someone's help in order to do what you want to do during this cycle. Relationships are vivacious and dynamic during this period. When a difference arises, you are quick to settle it, and have little patience for sweeping matters under the rug. Your close personal relationships are lively during this cycle--full of conflicts and resolutions or reconciliations.

Overview Horoscope:

December 2017: The first three weeks are strong for research and strategy, dear Taurus. Mercury is retrograde from the 3-22, but this shouldn't subtract from your efforts -- it simply means a change of approach. Look back before moving forward now. While you should wait to begin brand-new projects until after the 22nd, you can be busy refining or reworking those already in progress and should meet with success. Finances deserve special attention, notably shared money and property as well as loans and support payments. There may be delays or uncertainty in these areas, but December is strong for sorting out long-standing issues and for discovering hidden or overlooked resources, so you're likely to come out ahead. Energetically speaking, the month picks up the pace considerably by the 22nd, and even more so after the 25th. You could feel as if you are moving out of the dark and into the light, and you're likely to find the spirit and motivation to embark on unusual or merely different adventures. Overall, however, this is a month in which you're more heavily invested in your relationships, and there can be less time or energy for personal plans and pursuits than usual.

Until the 9th, Mars continues to push you in the work-and-health department. Hopefully, you are able to pace yourself. The energies of the 5-6 can help on this front: productivity is good and you enjoy tackling a challenging but realistic project. Support is there when you need it most, but it comes in ways that are more practical than symbolic, and it's important to look at actions rather than words. This is a time when you feel a strong compulsion to take charge of health and fitness matters.

From the 9th forward, you pour more energy into your social life or close relationships. Partnerships may be on the combative side, but this is also an excellent time for facing problems and dealing with them straight away instead of dragging things on longer than they should. Alternatively, this is a time of greater relationship activity, whether you become more active with a special person in your life, or if a person in your life helps fuel your motivation to make changes and improvements.

A Jupiter-Neptune aspect that benefits you all the way until August 2018 begins this month and its themes are subtle but inspiring. This is a period of learning a lot through your experiences and interactions with a significant other in your life. It's an excellent and extended opportunity period for forming or strengthening alliances and improving the spiritual or friendship element of a partnership. Friendships can become very cozy, as well. You're likely to seek a kindred spirit now, and a partnership can be a source of inspiration. Another side of this aspect involves the seeking and realization of a long-term dream or goal, which 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 increased compassion and warmth in a relationship in the months ahead.

The heavy emphasis on your intimacy sector in the first three weeks of December suggests a more desirous month or paying particular attention to your innermost desires and needs. Your intimate life is a big deal to you this month, so that time spent developing a key, deep relationship or on your psychological development is time well spent.

Watch for overspending on things you don't need from the 3-22. It's not the best time for lending.

Perhaps the biggest headline of the month is Saturn's move into the sign of Capricorn. Until 2020, Saturn transits in harmony with your sign and moves through your solar ninth house. Overall, this is a more stable, predictable, and practical time for you. You're likely to enjoy a steadier pace now. This transit encourages you to build something slowly and carefully -- an approach that is most satisfying for you as a Taurus. This is also a valuable time for the learning and study of practical skills and brushing up on your knowledge. With Saturn here, you’re challenged to look at life and your future more realistically and practically. There can be important accomplishments in publishing or education for many of you.

These themes will be with you for the next three years, but you're getting hints of it this month from the 20th forward. This is not the time to be idle — you have a great need to make productive use of your time, especially concerning learning endeavors and long-term goals. You might recognize the need to concentrate, focus, and specialize now, and this is a period for adding more structure to your life by setting reasonable but definite goals.

Taurus (Born May 1 to 10) and Taurus Ascendant from 10 to 20 degrees Taurus:

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

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

All month:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

All that is deeply personal comes into focus now. Intimate matters are especially important to you during this cycle. Just how well you are handling your life comes up for inspection. Your self-mastery skills and psychological predisposition matter to you more than usual. This is the time of year when you are most desirous of change on a deep level. Clearing out psychic "junk" or ridding yourself of bad habits may be part of the picture now. You are more willing than usual to explore life's secrets.

This cycle brings greater in-depth understanding and an inclination to delve beneath the surface of matters to get to the bottom of them. Research uncovers new material that allows you to develop a better overall picture of the year's events. This is an especially introspective cycle during which you have the chance to truly uncover your personal strengths and talents. On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until December 9th: 

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close. Smoothing out your close personal relationships is what makes you happy during this cycle. You have a greater need than usual for contact and exchange with an intimate partner. If single, you are more willing than normal to enter into a committed relationship. In general, you are adaptable when it comes to your affections.

From December 9th forward: 

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing.

Taurus (Born May 11 to 21) AND Taurus Ascendant from 20 to 30 degrees Taurus:

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

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until December 11th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar seventh house--your partnership sector. This can be a time of much learning through the mirror of close relationships. It's not the time to push your agenda or personal plans forward; rather, it's a cycle in which you are at your best when you recognize the need to form alliances, to give back to a special someone, and to compromise in order to find some balance in your life.

It's a strong period for putting yourself into another person's shoes and to better understand him/her. You may be meeting with someone strong and assertive by nature now, or a partner is more assertive and needy of attention. There may be some competitive feelings between you and a significant other now. Focus is on reconciliation, forming or cementing bonds, diplomacy, consultation, one-on-one interactions, and negotiations. You may feel a little drained physically now, temporarily.

From December 11th forward:

The Sun energizes your sector of transformation, change, sexuality, personal growth, regeneration, others' money and resources, addictions, and taxes. As a result, this is not the most gregarious of months for you. You take a step back, focus on intimacy with a partner, or simply retreat a little from the hectic pace of life. This is an excellent time to create a budget or financial plan, or to rid yourself of bad habits that undermine your sense of personal power and self-mastery.

On a more practical level, you may be dealing with joint finances and shared resources now more than usual.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until December 17th: 

Venus continues her trek through your partnership sector. Meaningful and harmonious relationships--both social and romantic--define you during this cycle, affecting your mind, body, and soul. Financial or social success may come to or through your marriage partner at this time. Special attention to and from a partner is in focus, and flattery works to your advantage! Give to a partner exactly what you would like to receive just now. It's not about you right now--it's about someone else close.

From December 17th forward: 

Venus graces your solar eighth house now. During this cycle, a financial boost is possible, or you may gain financially through your partner. A deep and intimate connection made now could be revitalizing and even healing. You are more inclined to want to smooth over differences in a partnership concerning the sharing of power, intimacy matters, finances, and other emotionally-charged topics. Intimate relationships are intensified now. Either you or your partner want a deeper union.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Mercury is retrograde from December 3-22:

All Mercury retrograde cycles particularly affect you in terms of communications with lovers or children, and regarding financial affairs, because Mercury rules these areas of your life. Your judgment with regards to personal finances (Gemini-ruled for you) as well as romantic partners and creative endeavors may not be up to par just now, so do avoid "signing on the dotted line". Speculation is not advised during this cycle.

Occurring in your solar seventh and eighth houses this time, extra care should be exercised when it comes to negotiations, one-on-one communications, and any financial initiatives that involve shared resources. Be as non-judgmental as you can with a partner. There may be the need to revisit old issues in a partnership, or there could be some communication problems with a partner. An ex-partner may resurface during this cycle. Delays are very possible when it comes to receiving support, loans, and taxes. It may be better to side-step arguments with loved ones that revolve around intimacy and sexuality. Investments made now may not go the way you want them to, particularly those involving joint finances. It may be hard to rely on the input of your partner now, and money you were counting on may not be forthcoming. It's best to budget rather than spend. Misunderstandings with your partner now can do some damage if you (or your partner) focus on words said instead of the meanings behind the words. If you need to talk through problems, do your best to be as non-judgmental as possible, and don't over- react to what your partner has to say either. Mixed messages coming from a partner, or a disappointment, could occur now. You may not be as adept at mediating disputes for the time being, but it's a good cycle in which to improve your negotiation skills. Re-thinking a partnership arrangement is possible now, but you should avoid jumping to any premature decisions. It would be wise to be especially clear when it comes to communicating with partners; or take this time to re-examine issues rather than communicating about them prematurely.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

All month:

Mars continues to animate and energize your solar sixth house. Energy and initiative for work, health, and other daily activities increase. You are self-motivated when it comes to these matters.
