This is an eventful and tumultuous kind of month. Active. Hectic. Filled with change.

First off, there will be two eclipses this month – these practically guarantee dramatic change. Aside from this, Jupiter makes a major move into your 7th house of love on the 10th. Both the month and year ahead are strongly romantic. Then, on the 22nd, the planetary power shifts from the lower half of the chart to the upper half. This signals a psychological shift in you. Hopefully, by now, you’ve found your point of emotional harmony. You’ve brought the home and family into order. Now it is time to focus on the career and your outer objectives. Your career planet Saturn started to move forward on the 18th of last month, so there is now mental clarity and good forward momentum. Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, spends the month ‘out of bounds’ and will ‘pause’ in the heavens from the 19th to the 28th. This pause is a good thing. With all the excitement going on this is a pause that refreshes. You need to get your bearings.

The solar eclipse of the 1st is a strong one, so make sure you have a nice easy schedule. Avoid risky, high stress kinds of activities – reschedule them for a better time. The eclipse not only impacts on the Sun, but on Mars and Saturn as well. It occurs in your 6th house of health and work, indicating job changes and changes in the conditions of work. These changes can happen within your present company or with a new one. (The impact on Saturn reinforces this – it shows career changes too.) There will also be changes in the health regime – dramatic ones. Sometimes this kind of eclipse brings a health scare. However, your overall health is good (though you need to be more careful from the 22nd onwards) and so this will most likely be nothing more than a scare.

There are also dramas with parent figures in your life and shake-ups in your industry or company. There is a need now to rethink the career path, to revise your plans and strategies. Many of you are into travelling this month – Mars is in your 9th house. But unless it is essential it is probably better to reschedule these visits, especially long trips or foreign trips.

The lunar eclipse of the 16th occurs in your 12th house, indicating important spiritual changes – changes in practice, teachings and perhaps teachers. There is much instability in charitable or spiritual organizations you’re involved with, and life-changing dramas in the lives of gurus or spiritual figures in your life. Every lunar eclipse brings family dramas for you, and this one is no different. Thus it is good to be more patient with family members (and especially a parent or parent figure), as they are likely to be more temperamental than normal. If there are flaws in your home, now is when you find out about them so that corrections can be made.

Jupiter entered your 7th house of love on September 10. On September 22 the Sun also entered your 7th house and you began a yearly love and social peak. For many of you (depending on your age) you are at a lifetime love and social peak, which continues until the 23rd of this month. Many a marriage (or relationships that are ‘like’ marriage) will be happening in the year ahead. But as was mentioned earlier, don’t be too quick to jump into marriage. This is only advisable if you’re willing to put some limits on your freedom.

Neptune, your spiritual planet, spends the month very near the point of the solar eclipse of September 1. This shows continuing instability in spiritual or charitable organizations and in the lives of guru figures you’re involved with. Your intuition and dreams need verification; don’t be so quick to make judgements or act on them. Take the time to ensure that you got the message properly.

Health needs attention until the 23rd. Make sure you get enough sleep and don’t waste time or energy on frivolities. Focus on the important things in your life. You can enhance your health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report, and in addition you can give more attention to the diet and small intestine until the 7th. From the 7th to the 25th give more attention to the kidneys and hips. Massage the hips regularly. A kidney detox might be a good idea too. After the 25th pay more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs. This is a sexually active kind of month, but there is no need to overdo it. Listen to your body.

Mars, the ruler of your chart, has been ‘out of bounds’ since August 9, so you’re venturing into faraway places – places outside your normal sphere. Travelling is much better this month than last. Avoid high stress activities or confrontations from the 18th to the 20th and from the 27th to the 29th. The 18th to the 20th brings intense sexual encounters; libido is higher than usual.

The month ahead seems prosperous. Until the 18th there is good financial support (and opportunity) from the current love or partner and there is good financial cooperation between you. This is a very good time to borrow or to pay down debt, according to your need. It is also a good time to get rid of old possessions that you no longer use or need. Clear the decks so that the new and better can come in. It’s good to eliminate waste too, redundant bank or brokerage accounts or needless expenses. Until the 18th you prosper by cutting back – getting rid of the useless. After the 18th, you prosper by growth: earnings start to increase.

November

Best Days Overall: 2, 3, 11, 12, 19, 20, 29, 30

Best Days for Career: 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 19, 20, 29, 30

Neptune is still very near the solar eclipse point of September 1. The spiritual instability that we’ve discussed in the previous months continues. Take your time in interpreting dreams, intuitions and psychic readings. The real meaning could be different from what you think it is. On a worldly level this aspect can show flooding and upheavals in the oil, natural gas and water industries.

Your 8th house of transformation became powerful on October 23 and remains so until November 22. This favours detox and weight loss regimes. Those of you involved in personal transformation and reinvention should have a more successful month. These projects go well.

Health and energy are good all month. You can enhance them further through detox regimes, as we have mentioned, and also by giving more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs. Like last month November is a sexually active kind of month and the tendency is to overdo it. After the 12th give more attention to the liver and thighs. Thigh massage and liver cleansing will be beneficial.

Your 9th house becomes powerful from the 22nd onwards, and there is travel or happy travel opportunities. College or post-graduate students are working hard, but there is success this month. Foreigners, foreign travel and foreign companies are important financially and from a job perspective.

Foreigners are appealing in love too. With Venus ‘out of bounds’ all month you’re moving outside your usual social circle, and perhaps even to foreign countries. The same is true in finance. There’s a need to think ‘outside the box’ – to try things you normally wouldn’t try.

On the 12th Venus moves into your 10th house of career, and this transit boosts the career. It indicates social (and perhaps romantic) interactions with bosses, superiors and authority figures. You have both their social and financial favour. Pay rises – overt or covert – can happen. A parent or parent figure is financially supportive.

You seem very successful these days. Mars, the ruler of your Horoscope, has been in your 10th house since September 27 and remains there until the 9th of this month. You’re working hard, but you’re at the top of your game. And, you haven’t really hit your career peak yet. This will happen next month.

December

Best Days Overall: 8, 9, 16, 17, 26, 27

Most Stressful Days Overall: 1, 2, 3, 14, 15, 21, 22, 29, 30

Best Days for Love: 2, 3, 12, 13, 21, 22

Best Days for Money: 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13, 21, 22, 31

Best Days for Career: 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 16, 17, 26, 27, 29, 30

Career is the main headline this month. Your 10th house is very strong – 50 per cent of the planets are either there or moving through there. This shows a lot of power – a lot of cosmic support – and a lot of focus. There is no obstacle that you can’t overcome. Your yearly career peak technically begins on the 21st as the Sun crosses your Mid-heaven and enters your career house. But you will feel it even before that date, especially from the 8th to the 12th as the Sun moves over your career planet, giving it positive stimulation. This is also a nice career aspect for your children or the children figures in your life.

Children or children figures should stay out of harm’s way on the 1st, 7th, 8th, 11th and 12th. There is no need for them to indulge in daredevil-type stunts or to tempt the fates.

You’re working hard and succeeding this month, but after the 21st be more health conscious. This is a short-term issue, however. Next month, after the 20th, health and energy will improve. In the meantime rest more and make sure you get enough sleep. Pay attention to the spine, knees, teeth, bones, skin and overall skeletal alignment. Regular back and knee massage will be powerful. If you feel under the weather, a visit to a chiropractor or osteopath might be just the ticket.

Students at the college or post-graduate level have some educational surprises from the 19th onwards. There could be important changes to educational plans. Travel plans seem unstable during that period too.

Mercury goes retrograde on the 19th, which means that job seekers need to do more research before accepting job offers. Be more careful how you communicate with bosses and superiors too. Make sure you say what you mean and that you heard what they’re saying. Don’t be afraid to ask questions and get clarity. Changes in the health regime also need more consideration.

Your financial planet has been in Capricorn since November 12 and is there until the 7th. This is good for finance. It indicates a sound and conservative financial judgement and a long-term perspective on wealth. It favours setting up savings and investment plans. On the 7th Venus will move into Aquarius, your 11th house. Friends seems financially supportive. Online activities boost earnings. It will be good to be involved with groups and organizations. Good to invest in high tech equipment.

Online activities boost the love life from the 7th onwards. Singles find good fortune on the online dating and social media sites. Love has been good for many months now, but becomes especially so from the 7th onwards.

Understanding a Taurus

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’s 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 are 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 their 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’s 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’s 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 of wealth: Taurus still feels that primeval connection.

It is in the pursuit of wealth that Taurus develops intellectual and communication ability. Also, in this pursuit Taurus is forced to develop some flexibility. It is in the quest for wealth that they learn the practical value of the intellect and come to admire it. If it were not for the search for wealth and material things, Taurus people might not try to reach a higher intellect.

Some Taurus people are ‘born lucky’ – the type who win any gamble or speculation. This luck is due to other factors in their Horoscope; it is not part of their essential nature. By nature they are not gamblers. They are hard workers and like to earn what they get. Taurus’s innate conservatism makes them abhor unnecessary risks in finance and in other areas of their lives.

Career and Public Image

Being essentially down-to-earth people, simple and uncomplicated, Taurus tends to look up to those who are original, unconventional and inventive. Taurus people like their bosses to be creative and original – since they themselves are content to perfect their superiors’ brainwaves. They admire people who have a wider social or political consciousness and they feel that someday (when they have all the comfort and security they need) they too would like to be involved in these big issues.

In business affairs Taurus can be very shrewd – and that makes them valuable to their employers. They are never lazy; they enjoy working and getting good results. Taurus does not like taking unnecessary risks and they do well in positions of authority, which makes them good managers and supervisors. Their managerial skills are reinforced by their natural talents for organization and handling details, their patience and thoroughness. As mentioned, through their connection with the earth, Taurus people also do well in farming and agriculture.

In general a Taurus will choose money and earning power over public esteem and prestige. A position that pays more – though it has less prestige – is preferred to a position with a lot of prestige but lower earnings. Many other signs do not feel this way, but a Taurus does, especially if there is nothing in his or her personal birth chart that modifies this. Taurus will pursue glory and prestige only if it can be shown that these things have a direct and immediate impact on their wallet.

Love and Relationships

In love, the Taurus-born likes to have and to hold. They are the marrying kind. They like commitment and they like the terms of a relationship to be clearly defined. More importantly, Taurus likes to be faithful to one lover, and they expect that lover to reciprocate this fidelity. When this doesn’t happen, their whole world comes crashing down. When they are in love Taurus people are loyal, but they are also very possessive. They are capable of great fits of jealousy if they are hurt in love.

Taurus is satisfied with the simple things in a relationship. If you are involved romantically with a Taurus there is no need for lavish entertainments and constant courtship. Give them enough love, food and comfortable shelter and they will be quite content to stay home and enjoy your company. They will be loyal to you for life. Make a Taurus feel comfortable and – above all – secure in the relationship, and you will rarely have a problem.

In love, Taurus can sometimes make the mistake of trying to control their partners, which can cause great pain on both sides. The reasoning behind their actions is basically simple: Taurus people feel a sense of ownership over their partners and will want to make changes that will increase their own general comfort and security. This attitude is OK when it comes to inanimate, material things – but is dangerous when applied to people. Taurus needs to be careful and attentive to this possible trait within themselves.

Home and Domestic Life

Home and family are vitally important to Taurus. They like children. They also like a comfortable and perhaps glamorous home – something they can show off. They tend to buy heavy, ponderous furniture – usually of the best quality. This is because Taurus likes a feeling of substance in their environment. Their house is not only their home but their place of creativity and entertainment. The Taurus’s home tends to be truly their castle. If they could choose, Taurus people would prefer living in the countryside to being city-dwellers. If they cannot do so during their working lives, many Taurus individuals like to holiday in or even retire to the country, away from the city and closer to the land.

At home a Taurus is like a country squire – lord (or lady) of the manor. They love to entertain lavishly, to make others feel secure in their home and to encourage others to derive the same sense of satisfaction as they do from it. If you are invited for dinner at the home of a Taurus you can expect the best food and the best entertainment. Be prepared for a tour of the house and expect to see your Taurus friend exhibit a lot of pride and satisfaction in his or her possessions.

Taurus people like children but they are usually strict with them. The reason for this is they tend to treat their children – as they do most things in life – as their possessions. The positive side to this is that their children will be well cared for and well supervised. They will get every material thing they need to grow up properly. On the down side, Taurus can get too repressive with their children. If a child dares to upset the daily routine – which Taurus loves to follow – he or she will have a problem with a Taurus parent.

Horoscope for 2016

Major Trends

Last year, as Saturn left your 7th house, the love and social life turned around. For some years – especially in 2013 and 2014 – it was severely tested. Many a Taurus got divorced – a traumatic experience for anyone, but especially for a Taurus. Good relationships survived, but it wasn’t easy. Happily things are much better now. Last year, on August 12, Jupiter moved into Virgo and started to make harmonious aspects to your love planet, Pluto. This aspect is still in effect until September 9. More on this later.

Uranus has been in your 12th house for many years now. Thus spirituality has become very important in your life. In many cases, Taurus, you are opting for a spiritual career. Others are making it a priority in their lives. This trend continues in the year ahead.

Pluto has been in your 9th house for many years. This shows a death and rebirth of your philosophical and religious beliefs. Many are dying and many are being reborn in a new form. The belief system is an ultra-important part of life, too often ignored by the psychological community. But it influences every area of life. Changes here change the life.

Jupiter spends most of the year in your 5th house. This makes Taureans of childbearing age much more fertile than usual. This aspect also tends to involvement with children in general – your own or other people’s. It’s a fun kind of period. A party period.

Jupiter moves into your 6th house on September 10. This is an excellent aspect for job seekers and for those who employ others. Even if you’re currently employed, many happy job opportunities will start to happen.
