Taurus (21 Apr - 21 May)

Your forecast for July 2010. 

I normally record the monthly videos as late as possible to maximize current influences.  Late last week, the man who makes the videos happen, Mr. Birthday Matcher, got diagnosed with kidney cancer, he's under the knife in a few days time.  So this month's video's are shorter and not the normal.  Please remember that essentially I am a one man band (with a little bit of valued help).  Normal service resumed next month.

Your reputation for stability and solidity sometimes precedes you, and this month is great for conforming to stereotypes.  You can use your normal abilities to improve your capacity for determination, thoroughness, resilience and perseverance.  Of course, others may see this as downright intransigence and stubbornness, but that's their problem not yours.  You can quietly plug away in the background in a way that slowly but surely adds to your repertoire and builds a power base without attracting opposition or sabotaging yourself.  The key to all this is your willingness to know when to say ‘I've had enough, I think I'll stop here' as opposed to just onwards expansion. Tread the middle path.

 

Romance and Relationship

 

Make no mistake; this is one of the best times of the year for you to get comfortable with your partner, or to put out the right signals if you're single, especially from the 10th of the month onwards.  This is when established relationships begin to really mature, or when now romantic developments can suddenly blossom and flower in a way that promises decent potentials for the future.  Windows of opportunity tend to float across in front of you, and if you take them then you'll do well, and if you don't you'll lose nothing but in the long run you may regret not taking chances whilst they were there.

 

Work and Money

 

This is a good time to ingratiate yourself with others, to slowly and steadily bring yourself to a place where your worth to others becomes not so much indispensable as wanted and valued, mainly due to your willingness to go the extra mile for the benefit of all, not just yourself.  Your capacity to be of duty and service to others at this time is much appreciated, and you can feel a functional and wanted member of community or family through your efforts.  Just don't get into the martyr and victim trip, to do so would endear you to no-one, and make you feel very alone

.

Health and Spirit

 

The big planets in the heavens are occupied elsewhere, so this is a good time to quietly lower some of your shields and allow a degree of maintenance and spring cleaning to take place.  There are no new situations coming in that are going to dramatically disrupt your schedule so you can take the opportunity to do a thorough systems check in readiness for potential times to come, and by doing so bring a greater degree of efficiency and effectiveness into your operation.  You're the quietest sign of the Zodiac at the moment, and there's a good case for saying that if it's working, don't fix it.

 

Your forecast for 2010

here is your yearly summary. 

Generally speaking, you're the quietest and calmest sign of the zodiac during 2010, with the exception of those of you born after the 15th.  There's no sign of new major challenges coming, although the confusion and uncertainty of recent years still lingers in the background.  There's no new limitation or restriction, although the time of mid April to mid May and the run up to it are difficult in terms of clear communication, there are likely to be misunderstandings or misplaced communications.  But this time excepted, 2010 is one of the best years for a long time for steady stable forward movement.  No new big problems.

 

Romance and Relationship

 

All of March and most of April is easily the most beneficial times of 2010 for your love life and all its potentials.  Particularly good is the immediate time around April 16th, when you can seemingly attract everything you want.  Just be careful what you wish for, if it comes too true you may regret it in times to come.  Everything seems to be flowing relatively smoothly, so don't rock the boat too much unless you're bored or feeling too much in a rut.  In reality, 2010 should be one of the best years romantically that there's been for a ling time.

 

Business and Finance

 

A seemingly fortunate year, where the times of mid January through to the end of May bring a number of opportunities and chances in ways that rarely occur.  These opportunities are like windows floating across in front of you - if you take them you'll do well; if you don't then you lose nothing.  However, mid April through to mid May is not recommended for making large scale decisions or signing contracts or agreements, as this time can bring very mixed signals about the truthfulness of any financial or business developments. 

 

Health and Spirit

 

There is a background slow swell of positive energy transforming and regenerating much of your life, but this energy is coming at least partly from the un and subconscious as much as physically manifest, and the best thing you can do is get out of its way. It's a year of generally smooth operations, with no new big push or pull in any radical way,  but at the same time stay alert for opportunities to explore new directions because initiation and innovation are always going to be lurking somewhere in the background, and there will be sudden chances...

 

MERCURY will spend eleven weeks in Taurus due to its retrograde nature, suggesting that the 3rd to the 17th of April is highly experiential and frustrating, 18th April to 12th May is reflective, and 13th May to 10th June is doing it properly.

 

VENUS occupies your sign from the 1st to the 24th April

 

MARS doesn't touch your chart in 2010

 

JUPITER is being very nice indeed until the end of April, and then blessing those of you born from the 14th onwards

 

SATURN is finishing a time of stability with those born after the 16th until July, and then leaves you alone.

 

URANUS is bringing a favourable and opportunistic energy into your life in 2010, especially if you're born after the 16th.

 

NEPTUNE can bring confusion to those of you born after the 16th, so no new long term plans are advised without external advice.

 

PLUTO is bringing an energy of regeneration and metamorphosis into your chart this year, especially if you were born between the 23rd and 25th of April. The opportunity to remold oneself comes rarely, and should be taken.  Think caterpillar and butterfly.
