and promotion. (Of course old-fashioned hard work is also part of the equation, but it’s not the total picture.)
Health needs more attention all month, but especially after the 21st. Rest and relax more, this is the main thing. Don’t allow yourself to get overtired. Enhance your health by giving more attention to the liver and thighs (until the 5th) and to the spine, knees, teeth, bones and skeletal alignment afterwards. If you feel under the weather a visit to a chiropractor or osteopath might be a good idea. Give the knees more support when exercising.
You are not only advancing career-wise this month, but we also see much spiritual growth. Jupiter and Neptune (two spiritual planets in their own right) will be conjunct most of the month. This shows inner revelation, spiritual and religious breakthroughs, an active dream life and supernatural-type experiences.
Love is happy this month—especially later on in the month. Venus (your love planet) and Saturn (your career planet) are in mutual reception (each is a guest in the other’s Sign and House—a very positive aspect). Again this shows an office romance. Your career and love life blend together very well. You tend to socialize with people of high status and prestige—those above you in status. You find love as you pursue career goals, and the reverse is also true. Career opportunities can happen at parties or as you pursue your social goals. For marrieds this shows your spouse’s cooperation with your career and also your spouse’s career success.

Taurus is the most earthy of all the Earth Signs. If you understand that Earth is more than just a physical element, that it is a psychological attitude as well, you will get a better understanding of the Taurus personality.
A Taurus has all the power of action that an Aries has. But Taurus is not satisfied with action for its own sake. Their actions must be productive, practical and wealth-producing. If Taurus cannot see a practical value in an action they will not bother taking it.
Taurus’ forte lies in their power to make real their own or other people’s ideas. They are generally not very inventive but they can take another’s invention and perfect it, making it more practical and useful. The same is true for all projects. Taurus is not especially keen on starting new projects, but once they get involved they bring things to completion. Taurus carries everything through. They’re finishers and will go the distance so long as no unavoidable calamity intervenes.
Many people find Taurus too stubborn, conservative, fixed and immovable. This is understandable, because Taurus dislikes change—in the environment or in the routine. They even dislike changing their minds! On the other hand, this is their virtue. It is not good for a wheel’s axle to waver. The axle must be fixed, stable and unmovable. Taurus is the axle of society and the heavens. Without their stability and so-called stubbornness, the wheels of the world (and especially the wheels of commerce) would not turn.
Taurus loves routine. A routine, if it is good, has many virtues. It is a fixed—and, ideally, perfect—way of taking care of things. Mistakes can happen when spontaneity comes into the equation, and mistakes cause discomfort and uneasiness—something almost unacceptable to a Taurus. Meddling with Taurus’ comfort and security is a sure way to irritate and anger them.
While an Aries loves speed, a Taurus likes things slow. They are slow thinkers—but do not make the mistake of assuming they lack intelligence. On the contrary, Taurus people are very intelligent. It is just that they like to chew on ideas, to deliberate and weigh them up. Only after due deliberation is an idea accepted or a decision taken. Taurus is slow to anger—but once aroused, take care!
Finance
Taurus is very money-conscious. Wealth is more important to them than to many other Signs. Wealth to a Taurus means comfort and security. Wealth means stability. Where some Zodiac Signs feel that they are spiritually rich if they have ideas, talents or skills, Taurus only feels wealth when they can see and touch it. Taurus’ way of thinking is, ‘What good is a talent if it has not been translated into a home, furniture, car and holidays?’
These are all reasons why Taurus excels in estate agency and agricultural industries. Usually a Taurus will end up owning land. They love to feel their connection to the Earth. Material wealth began with agriculture, the tilling of the soil. Owning a piece of land was humanity’s earliest form
