Taurus: April 20 – May 20
“I’m at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I’ve just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.”
— Rodney Dangerfield
Hello 2014!
This year you want to travel to new lands, meet new people, discover new ideas and explore new beliefs. It’s a drive for freedom triggered by a dance between Uranus and Pluto from June 2012 to March 2015. This influence is bold and revolutionary! Now it’s time to focus on your external world. You’re making big plans because you believe in yourself and your future success. Actually, things look great because later this year your home life will be rewarding and supportive. Go with your opportunities but also go with the flow where you must patiently wait. (You gotta know when to hold and when to fold.) Mars Attacks!
In 2014, fiery Mars will energize you more than it has in 33 years. Ta da! You’ll be PowerPoint on steroids at work. You’ll be focused, aggressive and competitive. You will set high standards for yourself and others because you want to be organized, efficient, effective and productive. (Frankly, you’ll be bossy.) But in March, April and May, when Mars is retrograde, all this energy will be softened. This means you’re busy delegating like mad in January and February, then pulling back for three months, then moving forward with a vengeance for the next three months. (Sheesh!) This same high energy applies to your health. Then in June, it’s all systems go and you’re out jogging, biking, doing yoga stretches and being a superhero. Money — the second most important thing
You will work hard this year! (March, April, May being the exception.) You will pour energy into your work because you will take pride in what you do. You’ll want credit for your accomplishments, which means you won’t feel like a team player. Expect improved earnings from marketing, advertising, teaching, writing, sales and editing plus driving for a living. Late in the year, profits related to real estate and family-run businesses or home-based businesses will improve. In the bigger picture, ever since last year you have been more empowered and confident. You have a stronger sense of direction. However, there is one area related to your work that will suffer. Relationships with co-workers and professional partners are under the gun. It’s too easy to feel critical of each other. Some partnerships will end. Some employees or co-workers will quit. It is what it is. Keep in mind that Mars makes you assertive and bossy for most of this year, so be aware of your style of relating to others. Love is chemistry, sex is physics
You are tactile and sensual. (You juicy peach.) You love good food, good wine, good sex and a nice place to live. This year relations with others will improve because you are friendly and frank. Not only are you more willing to talk, you’re in a positive frame of mind. You’re tolerant, generous and broadminded, which means you’re better company. People will want to be in your presence. Furthermore, you’re refreshing and interesting because you’re entertaining new ideas, beliefs and ways of looking at the world. However, Saturn is opposite your sign. (This occurs once every 30 years.) And this means difficulties with partners and friends are unavoidable. Dicey relationships will end. Even good relationships will need to make adjustments.

Home and family are where you really score in 2014. Family members want to see you because you’re optimistic and willing to communicate and explore big ideas. (Relations with siblings are sweet.) In July, you enter an 18-month window that is the best time in more than a decade to enrich where you live and improve family relationships. You might move to bigger digs or buy and sell. (Best time for real estate in 12 years.) In the same vein (different arm) relations with family members will be happier and mutually generous. By the end of 2014, your home life will be the happiest it’s been in years! Sneak peek beyond 2014
Your home and family life will continue to improve in 2015 and, by late 2015 and 2016, expect a vacation and delights with romance, love affairs plus chances to explore the arts, the entertainment world and the hospitality industry. All the fun stuff! Many will expand their families through birth, marriage or adoption.
