The Week Ahead for Taurus

Let the good times roll! This is a superb quarter for most Taureans, and by May any winter blues should be firmly behind you. Mid-March a beautiful trine aspect between Jupiter in your sign and Pluto brings buried treasure to the surface, whether in the form of a fabulous opportunity, material benefits or a journey in nostalgia. Take note of events at this time because they contain the seeds of future happiness. Early-to-mid April puts the emphasis on health and well-being: nurture yourself and start a new fitness programme – you’ll see why in May. Events around15 April could prove hard work but, as they say, no pain – no gain. Your birthday should be extra special this year, especially if it falls on or near 13 May: in any event, this part of 2012 is one of joy and celebration. Have the courage of your hopes and dreams.

Put a ring around the week of 12 March. While this may turn out to be a great success for all kinds of reasons, love, romance and relationships are the most likely cause. Should a relationship have been going through a troublesome time, much can be done to set matters to rights in mid-March. Maybe you have already chosen this date for a romantic celebration, even a wedding – if not, why not? The week of 7 May is another positive period for love. Focus on the good in partners and don’t keep bringing up the past: until mid-June you are in a Jupiter cycle, so new beginnings should be made and growth assured. Think back to 2000, because there are echoes of that year’s events in those of spring 2012. You are cautious by nature but if ever there was a time to take a risk of the heart it is now.

You have more influence than you think, and this could apply to your ability to be in charge of your future and the effect you have on employers, colleagues and people in positions of power. If you knew you had nothing to lose, you’d speak your mind and make your ambitions known, and, with a cosmic tail wind such as you have behind you, set out your market stall with confidence. The aforementioned periods – mid-March and mid-May – are opportunity in a bottle, whether offers are on the table or you make a courageous move. 2012 is a great year for the Taurean entrepreneur; it’s also a year in which travel and international organizations play a large part in your professional and financial growth. The eclipses of 20 May and 4 June fall in the financial zones of your solar chart indicating a sudden and unexpected loss or gain.
