Continue to focus on your inner wellness, on finding your point of emotional harmony and comfort. Career success is going to be there for you all year, but you need to find your emotional centre and be comfortable with your success. Focus on the simple pleasures of the home and the hearth. Be present at important events in the children’s lives. Cement family relationships. All your career planets are still retrograde so you are in a period for review of your career and not for overt actions.
Your 5th House is very strong this month and you are still very much into a yearly personal pleasure peak. Taurus-born people like to work, but have fun as you do so. For singles this is a time for love affairs, and there are many opportunities. You look good and the opposite sex takes notice. You seem more relaxed and at ease this month and this too comes across well with the opposite sex. Those already in serious relationships are having more harmony there. On the 11th, your love planet, Pluto, finally starts to move forwards after many months of Retrograde motion. The social confidence is coming back. If you’ve used the previous months to review your love life, you are ready to implement your improvements. For singles there is an important romantic opportunity from the 19th to the 21st—this has serious possibilities. For those of you who are attached, this period brings happy social opportunities—invitations to parties or meetings with friends.
After the 22nd you are in a more serious work-oriented period. Though health is good, you seem more focused on it, more into healthy diets and lifestyles. You can enhance your health further by giving more attention to the heart (until the 20th) and the small intestine (after this).
Your financial planet goes Retrograde from the 7th to the 29th so be more cautious in your financial dealings, planning and expenditures. This Retrograde phase won’t stop earnings, but more care will prevent much lost time and effort. Mistakes in communications and thinking can be costly. Read the fine print in all contracts and don’t be afraid to ask questions and resolve all doubts. Try to avoid speculations from the 18th to the 29th—you will be sorely tempted. Money comes the old-fashioned way, through work. But investors should look at the health field for profitable opportunities.
A parent or parent figure has a drama from the 16th to the 18th—perhaps there is a spat with the mate or current love. Family members seem more temperamental during this period as well. Be more patient with them. There are wild mood swings with family members.

The cosmos never springs surprises on us. It always announces its intentions long before actual events happen. If you feel that you have been taken by surprise, it only means that you weren’t attentive to the messages that were sent. This month, there are very positive messages coming career-wise, and the cosmos is announcing that it is time to get focused here again. Dawn is not here yet but it is about to break—get ready. First off you are hard-working and serious, and this is noticed by your superiors. Second, there are job changes brewing, or changes in the conditions of the workplace. Saturn will move into your 6th House of Work on the 29th—this shows work opportunities in foreign lands or with foreign companies in your native land. There will be travel that is related to your job and career. Jupiter in your House of Career the whole past year starts to move forward again (on the 18th) after many months of Retrograde motion. The Sun will move from the lower half to the upper half of your Horoscope. It’s almost time to let go of family issues and achieve your other goals.
Your career is very good this month and next month it will get even better.
Retrograde activity has lessened over the past few months. By the 18th, 80 per cent of the planets will be moving forwards. This allows more rapid progress both in the world and your personal goals.
Finances are good this month too. Until the 10th you earn money in happy ways—doing what you like to do—or perhaps even at leisure activities or parties. Speculations are favourable all month. There is a nice payday on the 20th or 21st. Your spouse or partner prospers and is generous with you. Perhaps you get a very attractive mortgage or loan opportunity, or meet people who are willing to invest in you. Something that you thought valueless turns out to be worth a nice amount of money. But mainly you earn through your work and your social connections.
Love seems happy too. It is a sexually active kind of month. You are in the mood for more than just sex, but this is not always up to you—you and your partner need to compromise more. On the 23rd you enter a yearly social peak. And love will improve. There will be more parties, more social invitations and more going out. There seems to be more family gatherings and entertaining from home. Family members are playing cupid after the 23rd.
Your health is good, but rest and relax more after the 23rd. Enhance your health by paying more attention to the small intestine (until the 15th) and the kidneys and hips afterwards. The spine, knees, teeth and overall skeletal alignment become more important for the next few years—see our discussion in the yearly report (page 55).

Last month the planetary power was about to shift from the lower to the upper half of your Horoscope. This month it actually happens. By the 8th, 70 per cent (and sometimes 80 per cent) of the planets are above the horizon. Jupiter started to move forward last month (in your House of Career) and Neptune (also in your House of Career) moves forward on the 4th—also after many months of Retrograde motion. So, let go of family obligations for a while (or keep them to the bare minimum) and focus on your career.
Jobseekers should have had success last month, but there are still good opportunities this month until the 8th. After the 8th social connections, or perhaps your spouse or partner, have opportunities for you. Those of you who hire others might be thinking of cutting back now, and it might be wise.
You are well into a yearly social peak right now and it will last all month. You are reaching out to others, working to create the social life of your dreams, taking the initiative. There is a very happy romantic opportunity coming on the 8th or 9th. This doesn’t mean that you have to take it—the planets rarely take away free will—but the opportunity is there. There are three planets in your House of Love and I read this as three suitors or girlfriends who are vying for your affection. For singles this can be confusing, but it is a nice problem to have. Better that than no opportunity.
Last month was sexually active and the trend continues this month as well. From a health perspective the danger is of overdoing a good thing. Safe sex and sexual moderation are important factors in health from the 8th onwards. You need to rest and relax more until the 22nd. Detox regimes are powerful after the 8th. The kidneys and hips are important before the 8th.
There is a partnership or joint venture opportunity happening until the 16th. In general social connections play a huge role in earnings then. Your spouse or partner is prospering—but working very hard—and there are more challenges (short term) for him or her. This is a wonderful period—all month—for refinancing old debt or paying off debts. It is good to deal with tax issues now too. If you are involved
