Your financial planet goes retrograde on the 30th, so try to wrap up important purchases, investments or financial decisions before then. Though you are a very down-to-earth, practical person, this month your financial intuition is very strong and you should pay attention to it. Also this is a period where you learn that wealth is spiritual – that your own efforts are often futile – your wealth comes from the grace of a higher power, which actually owns all the money in the universe.
Love seems stable early in the month, but after the 20th gets more complicated. A marriage or current relationship gets tested. Give your spouse or partner as much freedom as possible now.
Your 11th house of friends, groups and organizations is still strong until the 20th – see last month’s remarks. After the 20th your 12th house of spirituality becomes very strong. (It has been active and strong since January 22, but now even more so.) You are in a period of exploring the invisible side of life, of making spiritual breakthroughs and gaining insights and knowledge. Often these things will come in dreams or through the direct intervention of the spirit – through supernatural kinds of experiences which you know are special. A good month for going on spiritual or religious-type pilgrimages to holy places or spiritual retreats. With Uranus now in your 12th house you are breaking out of outdated, restricting spiritual paths and experimenting with new ones.

For a down-to-earth Taurus, the month ahead is unique. Your 12th house, which was very strong last month, gets even stronger. The planets are having a convention in your 12th house: 70 per cent of them are either there or moving through there in the month ahead. Taurus tends to focus on the world of the five senses. But this month you are very unworldly, to say the least. There is no way for you to deny the reality of the invisible worlds now. Even family members are involved in spiritual issues.
Everything we wrote of last month is still in effect, only stronger. This spiritual focus is very positive now, for various reasons. It will bring breakthroughs in your career and finance. There will be breakthroughs in spiritual healing and in ways to transform the body (especially after the 21st – but earlier, too).
With this much power in the 12th house, it is important to be on a spiritual path, otherwise this can lead to over-indulgence in alcohol or drugs.
With all this inner guidance it is safe to create the conditions that you want in your life. You have the power and the wherewithal to do it. As always, build wisely. Ultimately we are responsible for our creations. The universe holds us responsible and we will have to live with what we create, good, bad or indifferent. Most of the problems we face are not the result of ‘bad luck’ – only the result of things that we ourselves have created.
Many of you will have your birthday this month. This is a good period to review the past year, atone for and correct mistakes and set new goals for the year ahead. Your birthday is your personal new year and should be treated like a ‘new year’.
Health is good this month and can be enhanced even further by paying more attention to your feet until the 21st, and to your head, face and scalp afterwards. Head and face massage is powerful after the 21st. You respond very well to spiritual therapies (other-worldly therapies) all month. The role that the spirit plays in health will be better understood.
Your financial intuition continues to be good – and it will get even better after the 23rd when Mercury starts to move forward again. Hold off on important financial decisions until after the 23rd.
Be more patient with your beloved from the 9th and 13th. Avoid confrontations or power struggles. Your beloved should be more careful driving and in general avoid risk-taking activities during this period.

This month the planets make an important shift: they move from the upper (career) half of your horoscope to the lower (home and family) half. By the end of the month there will be more planets in the lower half than the upper half. You have had some very powerful career months, now it’s time to take a breather and focus on your family and your emotional life. When we are driven by the need for outer success, we tend to do whatever needs to be done regardless of how we feel. Thus there is a tendency to lose emotional harmony. If this continues for a long time, it can lead to all kinds of health, domestic and spiritual problems. Happily, the universe doesn’t allow this to go on for too long, and almost forces us sometimes to shift our attention. The sun is setting on your year. Night is falling. Night is for sleeping, dreaming, visualization and ‘inner kinds’ of activities. It is for re-grouping your forces so that when the next sunrise comes, you will leap into your outer activities renewed and refreshed. So welcome this lull; it is for your ultimate good.
We see another alteration this month as well. You shift from ‘other worldliness’ – the abstract, supra-sensual dimensions of spirit – to hard-core, earthly reality. Your 1st house becomes very powerful – this began on the 20th of last month, but gets much stronger now. Now it is the pleasures of the senses that delight you. You are into a yearly personal pleasure peak. Your spiritual understanding will help you to enjoy these pleasures even more and won’t let you abuse them. There is something delightful about a good meal, prepared well, or a good body rub.
With your 1st house so powerful, health is good. Self-esteem is high. Regardless of what is happening in the outer world, you are a ‘somebody’ – a being – someone significant and important. This is a period for having your own way in life. The cosmos supports this. Your way is the best way for you. Create conditions as you desire them to be.
If there is a health problem, it comes from ‘too much of a good thing’. You have too much energy. And you might be prone to waste it on frivolous things. Mars enters your sign on the 11th and, while this gives you much physical energy and enhances musculature and athletic ability, it can also make you impatient and confrontational with other people. This can lead to conflicts or even violence. So use Mars’ energy in a constructive way. Venus enters your sign on the 16th and this gives beauty and glamour to your image. You look and dress beautifully. You have a special sense of style these days – a special taste – thus it is good to buy clothing, jewellery or personal accessories during this period. Your financial planet also moves into your sign on the 16th. This tends to prosperity. Financial opportunities come to you. Money comes to you. You are spending on yourself, investing in yourself. You have an ‘image of wealth’ during this period. On the 21st the Sun enters your money house and you begin a yearly financial peak. Family is very supportive financially. You are spending on the home and family, but can also earn from them. Job opportunities are also coming to you (if you are looking for them) after the 16th. Venus makes a beautiful aspect with Jupiter from the 10th to the 13th and this too should bring financial rewards (and job opportunities as well).
Love is much improved this month. More placid and calm. Singles have many love affair opportunities from the 16th onwards – they come to you. But these are not serious, long-term relationships.
