Your Personal Horoscope 2016

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!
