Surprise, surprise!  Your career is due for a fabulous rise this February.

But first, family and / or property matters seem to be everywhere now, and you may as well deal with it.  The full Moon on Saturday, January 30, in your fourth house brings this issue to a little crescendo.  The outcome of which will be determined by your actions starting this weekend -- so get talking!

I know you hate to be pushed and I do apologize, dear Bull.  It's just that you make everything so much easier with foresight and good planning.  You are the genius of planning ahead.  Now you can profit well from it!

As Taurus Jupiter said: Free at last, free at last, oh God Almighty, free at last.  This is how you will feel.

Dear Taurus, communication is crucial now, however crazy-making it is.  If you're reading your horoscope the day this begins, Saturday, January 23, make a special effort, particularly with those in close proximity to you. 

From neighbors to siblings, this weekend is the time to start talking and visiting.

Why?  (I know, you may already feel: enough already!)  Because this effort will make things easier for you day-to-day -- and it will also help in your CAREER. 

A slight warning: Mars is also retrograde in your fourth house of home and family, so the results you want don't come in immediately.  Do employ your awesome powers of patience though as you wait for things to bear fruit.  They will!

One of your gifts is the real joy you get from satisfying your to-do list.  Whereas other signs don't look far ahead enough to see consequences, YOU DO.  Although you're yearning for freedom right now -- well, we're being honest here, aren't we?  -- just little, tiny communiques will give you the freedom you need.

But as I began by saying...The real light at the end of the tunnel this February is your tenth house of career, which is in a massive shift position.  How on earth have you stood it?  (Not moving.)  To be under that much pressure is just unbearable. 

Now, you have a month to heal from this, and to move forward anew.

In your tenth house, you have: life-saving Sun, love and beauty planet (and your ruling planet) Venus, enchanting Neptune, healing Chiron, brilliant Mercury as of Wednesday, February 10, and a lovely new Moon on Saturday, February 13.

Your tenth house rules:

Your career

Your public reputation

Professional acclaim and recognition

Fame

What You Are Known As

Claiming your talents

Your ambitions

Striving and attainment

And often -- your MOTHER

It's been tough.  But now success comes.  Work helps you move forward, especially with a path you changed in 1990.  Think back to that year.  Was it a year full of changes, or what?  BUT your everyday routine was easier to deal with.  As was your health.

Which you haven't had so much of recently.  This is why this month will be a turning point in your life, dear Taurus.  If you ALLOW it to be.  Just work on getting things done and follow up with your exercise and diet.  Go back to old habits if they suit you.  Which I think they might. 

Saturn is retrograde in your sixth house of everyday, work, and health. 

Saturn's lessons always makes me think of your fellow Taurus, the existential philosopher Soren Kierkegaard (born May 15), (most of our most brilliant and radical thinkers were born Taurus: from William Shakespeare to Karl Marx) who said: "Life is a hard teacher; she gives the test first, the lesson after."  So it goes with Saturn.

But it doesn't always have to be this way!  If you learn the lessons and apply them -- preventatively.  Be extra mindful of your health, Taurus, and you will see the rewards.

February is an amazing month to find someone to help you in this area.  Anyone from a physical trainer to an acupunturist to the right doctor to a good massage therapist to relieve stress will present themselves to you this month. 

Particularly after your ruling planet, beautiful Venus, joins lucky Jupiter and inspirational Uranus on Thursday, February 11 -- soon to be joined by the life-saving Sun a week later on Thursday, February 18. 

Get thee to a physician as your fellow Taurus William Shakespeare wrote! 

And to the gym...or a dance class...or a yoga center.

You will feel so much better, and then you will be able to accomplish anything.  

And there's lots you want to accomplish.  Your dreams, your greatest hopes and desires, grow huger this February.  Lucky Jupiter in your eleventh house brings them on! 

Allow yourself to daydream...to plan big...to let your dreams soar...

And, because Jupiter also rules wealth and prosperity, these will be profitable for you. 

As will professional colleagues and friends in your field.  You will be introduced to important contacts, and your name will be passed around like wildfire!  As you know, you already have a good reputation.  Now, watch it rise. 

In love and romance, a new perspective arises for you.  Attached bulls: you will experience a second honeymoon, and feel closer intimacy.  Single bulls: get yourself out there because there's someone new for you to meet! 

Wait until the end of February, however, before you make a commitment. 

The asteroid Juno moves into your sign of Taurus, and into your first house, at the end of the month, and this will find you ready to plunge into deeper waters.

Just ENJOY for now.  And not only in romance!  You have SO MUCH to look forward to and I, for one, can't wait to see you experience your happiness!
