Happy Birthday Taurus!
Life can be adventure. Many different planets swirl into new areas affecting one and all,Taurus and non Taurus. Your ability to flex and adapt could be tested, and we all know how stubborn the famed bull is.
Greeting you as you blow out the candles on your cake, sending mental wishes, is the planet Jupiter. This planet draws luck and expansion, but do understand that luck and expansion can also go too far., especially if happens too quickly.
Jupiter resides in the part of the sky associates with your friendships and dreams. Certainly networking and expanding your social circle stars as an ongoing happening. Before you walk around dangling your lucky rabbit�s foot, check in with yourself. See if you still want what you wanted years ago. People change. You change. What was right previously might not be today.
You have a unique ability to create your desires, putting them into concrete form this year, with a slight exception of the summer, when Jupiter dodges out of your sign into Aries. A partnership could be unusually important in creating a goal, or be part of the goal.
This transit ends January 2011, when Jupiter enters formally Aries. You become like a cat with nine lives when Jupiter is in Aries. No matter what comes down the path, you come out a okay. This period is a closing off a luck cycle, where you might do some completing, before the next Jupiter cycle begins in 2012.
The negative as mentioned is to go to extremes with this planet, ie partying all the time with new friends etc. What is clear is you are your enjoyment of life which will be much more than in the recent past.
Another planet is completing its seven year transit of the same area of the chart. Unpredictable friends, sudden events, and re-evaluation have come with this transit. For the most part, you probably will not experience any more impact, unless you were born in the last few days of Taurus. The purpose of this transit is to encourage you to question your choices, making new ones that are more authentic. Also what you desire can pop in from left field. The weeks around July 5 and December 5, 2010 will reveal if Uranus has any more surprises for you.
The July date might have slightly different impact, as like Jupiter, Uranus will dip into Aries for several months starting end of May. You are getting a preview of years to come during the summer. This period will end mid-August. Uranus will not return to Aries until March 10, 2011. You will be having stunning insights when this transit is in full swing.
You could experience a lot of confusion dealing with bosses or authority figures. Another way of looking at this situation is that a boss is nebulous or not clear. Learn to ask questions that help both of you clarify. Neptune in the sector of your chart that rules career and community involvement could also have some of you pinnacling to your dream jobs or in an unbelievable community involved role. Neptune can be very positive , helping create dreams. For artists, it is unusually creative. It also can be someone back stabbing you, or at least who speaks with a forked tongue. Be aware of the possibilities, both positive and negative. Key dates here are: May 31 and Oct. 6, 2010. Events around these dates could point to Neptune�s impact on you.
Taurus is a sign that is ruled by Venus. As a result, Venus transits could be more important than many others. Venus will be going retrograde on Oct. 8, 2010. Planets do not move backwards but they do slowdown. At that point they give an optical illusion of going backwards, or what we call, going �retrograde�.
This phenomena occurs every year and half. Do you personally go retrograde? No. The phenomena at work does encourage you to re-evaluate your life and what is and is not working. The period Venus is retrograde do not act on your feelings or decisions, give it at least a month after Venus goes direct. This year Venus will go direct on November 11, 2010.
For some Taurus, these weeks might seem like a sequence of bad hair days. ( Please do not change your look in this period-you might not like the end results). Sometimes as Venus is love , a past lover or friend where there has been a separation returns. We have our own versions of what happened in this or that relationship. At this point, you can understand what really went wrong, claiming responsibility for your side of the issue. Sometimes couples go back together.
The one rule of thumb with a Venus retrograde is do not christen any relationships with anyone. It probably will blow up after the Venus Retro effect clears, which this year will be mid December.
As your birthday occurs in 2010, Saturn has stepped backwards into Virgo, making for some serious interactions with a loved one. Sometimes this transit can make those who are artistic or creative feel less so. In any case, you went through this transit in 2007, 2008 and part of 2009. You know how it feels for you.
The good news is Saturn enters Libra to stay there July 22, 2010. You have also had a taste of this planet in this sign last Fall. It is a call to take better care of your health and body as it is in the sector dealing with health, daily life, and work. For some, you might find that you are more fatigued than in the past. You could be prone to bone or teeth problems . (Go see the dentist). You also might find work a bit difficult, whether there is little or too much, you are not content with the existing situation. Learn to work with the existing situation to create more of what you want. You might want a second job. or others might seek a less demanding work schedule. As a positive, many lose weight during this transit. You will get a fuller perspective end of January 2011 as to how this planet will impact you personally.
Pluto, the planet of transformation reigns in a very powerful and dynamic part of your chart, which rules your mind, intellect, travel and higher education are issues. To experience growth and change in this area is to experience your life more openly than in the past. Whether through events or travel, you will see where your own mental filters have preventing you from seeing more clearly. You will open up to different type thinking, letting go of past biases.
You will see and understand on a new level. This transit will take quite a few years to experience. Know you are at the beginning. This is not a transit to fear but to welcome.
There is nearly a spiritual power to this transit, the intensity can be that great. Do not be surprised if you or someone else in the same transit turns to religion.
Do be careful because Pluto and obsession go together. You do not want to become a member of some far out cult as appealing as it might be today. Decide in a few years if this is right.
The segment where Pluto travels is also the house of law. Make sure everything is on the up and up.
Given that these are the basic tenets to your next year, you can see why you might have reason to be excited. You certainly are entering a brave, new world. Blow out your candles with the promise of giving yourself the gift of openness, thus possibilities. Happy Birthday Taurus.
Happy Birthday Taurus!
