Taurus 2010 Overview - Astrology Forecast, Horoscope Prediction

Jupiter expands whatever he touches. He usually spends about 13 months in each zodiac sign. His job is to bring joy, adventure, open-mindedness, advanced education, travel, global perspectives, and a sense that we are all one big happy family and not so very different from each other. Because of his expansive tendencies, he brings “prosperity” and “abundance” to whatever concept he is focused on. If things are good, he brings an abundance of good. If things are bad, he brings an abundance of bad.

As 2010 begins, Jupiter is still in Aquarius and your tenth house until January 18th when he moves into Pisces and your eleventh house. Normally, Jupiter spends about 13 months in each zodiac sign, but this year it is a bit different. Jupiter flies through Pisces at mock speed and then moves into Aries and your twelfth house on June 6th. Later, he turns around and heads back into Pisces and your eleventh house on September 9th. Then on January 22nd, 2011, he moves back into Aries and your twelfth house again, where he will remain throughout the first half of 2011.

While in Aquarius, Jupiter focuses on social networking, friendships, group activities, the Internet, and teamwork. Aquarius rules over independence, freedom, eccentricities, and wanting to be seen as both a unique individual and a great team player. “All for one and one for all”, “We are all in this together”, “Together we stand, divided we fall”, and “I am my brother’s keeper” are Aquarian philosophies that Jupiter is working to encourage and embrace. Globally, this has been one of the major themes of 2009.

For Taurus, this is happening in your tenth house of professional goals and aspirations, leadership, public reputation, climbing the Ladder of Success, and what your role is within your community. Careers involving teamwork, networking, the Internet, sciences, engineering, and/or interconnectivity could seem very appealing to you. Being allowed to be your unique individual self while also contributing to something bigger than yourself is going to work better for you rather than having to be one of many unknown drones in a large bureaucracy. It is not that you are not capable of doing drone work, but that Jupiter is passing through this area of your chart and reminding you of how important it is for you to be your authentic self and to not sell out on your dreams.

In Pisces, Jupiter focuses on kindness, compassion, charity, emotional well-being, spirituality, intuition, empathy, and bringing a sense of “magic” to the world.

For Taurus, he will be in your eleventh house of friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science, interconnectivity, and the Internet. At this point, Jupiter’s focus will become more about your social life, sciences, networking, teamwork, and the Internet. Your life is blessed with more friends, more social outings, more clubs, etc. You could find that careers involving committee meetings, teamwork, networking projects, Internet activities, and/or the sciences (interconnectivity) are also blessed at this time. When Jupiter is left to do as he pleases from within Pisces in your eleventh house, he will bless this area of your life and could possibly include financial growth as part of his “abundance”. When other planets clash with Jupiter as he travels through here, he will increase the chances for dishonesty, secrets, self-destruction, and/or bureaucracy to cloud whatever you are trying to do. You could find that a friend or colleague is hiding something from you and the rest of the group or you could be the one who is not being completely honest with your colleagues.

In Aries, Jupiter embraces Aries’ pioneering spirit, enthusiasm, fiery passion, and willingness to compete for the sheer entertainment of it. Unlike Aquarius’ teamwork approach to life, Aries is all about racing to the top and being number one. Aries is generous, boisterous, and charming. The competitive nature is not a selfish or mean energy, but a childlike “last one there’s a rotten egg!” type of playful energy. Jupiter can have great fun bringing more of this optimistic can-do energy into the world.

For Taurus, it happens in your twelfth house of mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-destruction, secrets, intuition, spiritual mysteries, charities, bureaucracies, and hidden forces working behind the scenes. While Jupiter travels through this area of your chart, he will be working to bring you more joy, emotional stability, a “can do” attitude, and a sense of adventure to your life. When things go badly though, he will increase the gullibility, deception, bureaucracy, self-destruction, and/or depression that can occur in this area of your life. However, his goal is always to bring joy and good luck whenever the opportunity arises.

When Jupiter backtracks and revisits Pisces and your eleventh house, you could find that he is either bringing back friends, colleagues, and acquaintances from the past, or he is simply giving you a second wave of strong positive social networking energy to work with. Once again, you could be dealing with dishonest, delusional, and/or destructive friends and colleagues or you could be enjoying good times with good friends and finding it easier to networking and collaborate with various teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, etc.

Saturn creates our personal challenges and “tough love” learning experiences. He usually spends about two and a half years in each zodiac sign. His job is to create learning experiences that are often uncomfortable but ultimately quite meaningful. Saturn also rules over karma, cause and effect, ethics, and our sense of civic duty. Therefore, it is not only important that we learn our life lessons well, but that we also conduct ourselves with honor and integrity while going through these challenges. If we stay out of trouble, behave ethically, buckle down, and learn our lessons well, then Saturn rewards us with a gift just before he leaves that zodiac sign. For example, if Saturn were traveling through the area of our charts that deals with professionalism, leadership, and success, then he would teach us some tough lessons about those concepts. Then, if we learned our lessons and we behaved ourselves while doing so, Saturn would reward us with a job promotion, professional kudos, public recognition, etc. We would be better at our jobs, better at leading our companies and communities, and/or we would be better at marketing and advertising ourselves. If on the other hand, we did not learn our lessons, or we were unethical, blamed others for our problems, cheated, lied, etc then Saturn would simply move on to the next zodiac sign and we would have nothing to show for all the drama and trouble that we had just endured. Saturn gets a bad reputation because many people think he is simply mean for the heck of it, when in actuality, he is like a “tough love” parent forcing us to grow up and act like a responsible adult. Might not be very fun, but the rewards are well worth it.

As 2010 begins, Saturn is still making a preview visit in Libra and your sixth house. He will backtrack and revisit Virgo and your fifth house from April 8th until July 20th. During that time, he will make sure that you learned the life lessons you were taught over the last couple of years. Then he will return to Libra and your sixth house where he will remain until October of 2012.

While in Virgo over the last couple of years, Saturn focused on our ability to feel like useful members of society. Virgo rules over daily work tasks, to-do lists, coworkers, productivity levels, organizational skills, tools, and our physical health because if you are not physically able to do your fair share of the work, then you are not able to feel useful and productive. The idea is that we are contributing something to society and not just lazing around picking daisies and playing Frisbee. As lovely as eternal vacation might seem, at some point in our development, we all get bored of constant playtime and need something important to do. “Did my life matter? Did I contribute anything meaningful to the world? What is my legacy, if any?”

For Taurus, this happens in your fifth house of personal pleasure, lovers, romance, playtime, hobbies, creative talents, pets, children, sports, leisure, luxury, and happiness. With Virgo as part of this area of your life, you could find an interest in careers that involve these types of industries. Saturn would help you to analyze the pros and cons of each “happiness” industry and whether or not you really could earn a living in that manner. Everyone wants to love the work they do and feel as if they are being paid to do whatever they love best. Musicians, athletes, gourmet chefs, painters, actors, etc fall into this area of the zodiac. On good days, Saturn helps you figure out how to make these kinds of careers work for you. On bad days, Saturn convinces you that it is all a fantasy and that you should not risk it. Your challenge could be to make your dream job into a reality or your challenge could be to give yourself permission to have any fun at all. You could also find the lessons are about your love life, pets, children, and others that you love deeply. Maybe your loved ones are creating dramas, testing your ability to give them unconditional love, and/or you are struggling to be able to create these types of relationships in your life. Maybe you cannot find a lover, or you and a spouse cannot conceive children, or you are having terrible luck with finding a suitable pet, etc. Regardless, Saturn is challenging your “happiness”.

While in Libra, Saturn focuses on our partnerships. Libra rules over marriage, best friends, business partnerships, and competitors (think yin-yang). While in this zodiac sign, Saturn forces us all to look at who we choose to partner with, what kind of partnerships we like, and how we behave within our partnerships. It is not uncommon for marriages to suffer, best friends to “break up”, and for business partnerships to dissolve. Competitors can become vicious, especially if they are pointing out real flaws in our character and not just making stuff up. Libra rules diplomacy, fairness, justice, and mediation too. Globally, we could see these topics becoming quite challenging for all countries. Various government leaders will be challenged to pick carefully which countries they choose to partner with and which they choose to keep as enemies. They would do well to remember Saturn’s focus on karma, integrity, and civic responsibility.

For Taurus, hosting Saturn in your sixth house of daily work, to-do lists, productivity, physical health, and “feeling useful” can be quite stressful. Taurus is a hardworking zodiac sign that takes their responsibilities seriously. It can be hard on a Taurus to NOT be well organized, productive, healthy, and/or able to get along with coworkers. You could find that Saturn challenges your health, making it difficult for you to do your fair share of the work. You could find that a boss or authority figure constantly nags that your work and efforts are not good enough. No matter how hard you work, they do not appreciate your hard work and sacrifice. You could have trouble finding work, especially in this current economy, or you could be under-employed, or you are stuck in a job you hate because it is too risky to quit. It can be difficult to find a better job than the one you have. Remember that Saturn’s goal is to toughen you up, smarten you up, and prepare you for greatness. So, buckle down, do your job as best you can, and take care of yourself physically. When Saturn leaves this area of your life, your career and body should be in a stronger position than when you started. Since Libra rules your sixth house, you could find that business partnerships are especially vulnerable to Saturn’s “teaching moments.”

Uranus is the eccentric genius, rebellious teenager, and social networking guru of the zodiac. He usually spends about 7 years in each zodiac sign. He rules over friends, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science (interconnectivity), electricity, and the Internet. He can bring teamwork, friendships, networking, and a sense of belonging to something bigger than yourself into your life. He can also bring stubbornness, eccentricity, rebellion, and perversity. This is because at his core, he is trying to convince us to be our unique individual selves but also to be a great team player. Thus, like a teenager, he is trying to find himself while being very susceptible to peer pressure. Those who master Uranus’ teachings often make charming and charismatic leaders. Uranus also encourages us to think outside the box and brings a certain eclectic brilliance into our lives. Like the eccentric genius and the rebellious teenager, he brings pleasant surprises and unexpected chaos. Uranus promotes humanitarian ideals like brotherhood, “all for one and one for all”, and “united we stand, divided we fall.” He is not asking us to be sheeple, following the crowd mentality with blind faith. He is asking us to know our unique gifts and to be strong enough in our self-knowledge to be able to work well in a team and to be able to socialize without losing our sense of individuality.

As 2010 begins, Uranus is still in Pisces and your eleventh house. He will stay in this area of your chart most of the year, but will be visiting Aries and your twelfth house from May 28th through August 13th. Then he moves back into Pisces and your eleventh house until he makes a more permanent move into Aries and your twelfth house in March 2011.

There are zodiac signs where Uranus shines and is emboldened to bring about wonderful brotherly love and incredible scientific advances, like when he was in his own zodiac sign, Aquarius from the middle of 1995 until the early part of 2003. While there, the everyday use of the Internet took root and blossomed. Prior to that, he was in Capricorn building the systems of the Internet. Yes, the Internet has been around for a long time, but it was during the time that the planet in charge of the Internet was traveling through the zodiac sign in charge of the Internet, that the Internet seriously began to grow and expand into the incredible tool that it is today.

In Pisces, Uranus is somewhat subdued. Pisces rules over the hidden forces that work behind the scenes. Therefore, things like mental health, secrets, self-destruction, addictions, spiritual mysteries, bureaucracies, and “fogginess” are ruled by Pisces. Therefore, we now have gambling, porn, and other self-destructive activities available online. We also have government bureaucracies trying to legislate for or against Net Neutrality and spam. We have all kinds of spiritual, mental health, self-help, and “positive attitude” information readily available as well. Is it any wonder that people are becoming addicted to the Internet? On the other hand, Uranus’ time in Pisces has helped us to befriend people from all over the world that we otherwise would not have gotten to know. Global brotherhood is much easier to encompass. Pisces believes in sacrificing for the greater good and Uranus is a huge fan of humanitarianism. Together, they bring us websites that work to educate and promote helping those less fortunate in other countries. Uranus may not have the razzamatazz in Pisces that he has in some other zodiac signs, but he is not without his charms within this area of our lives.

For Taurus, this has been occurring in your eleventh house of friendships, teams, clubs, committees, professional associations, networking, science, interconnectivity, and the Internet. Hosting Uranus in this area of your life can be exhilarating. He rules over this area of the zodiac and is like a king in his own country, more powerful than anywhere else. You could find you are a great friend and team player. You could be especially drawn to computer sciences, networking, technology, Internet, engineering, and “connectivity” careers. If nothing else, it is a lovely time in your life to be carefree and happy, socializing with dear friends.

Once Uranus moves into Aries, he can have some fun. Aries is innovative, entrepreneurial, competitive, and loves being the first one to come up with a new idea. Uranus is in love with new technology, teamwork, being unique while being part of something bigger than one’s self, and a brainstorming genius. Both are extroverted, social, and stubborn. Both are clever, fast, and pride themselves on their uniqueness. At first, Uranus will enjoy a lovely summer visit into Aries and then later next year, he will formally move into Aries for the next few years. He reminds me of a teenager visiting a college campus before moving there permanently during the college years. This first visit will be exhilarating and then going back into Pisces will feel stiff and too confining before he makes the official move to Aries. Globally, we will probably see the Internet and new technology take off like crazy. It will be interesting to see how the planet of teamwork and brotherly love affects the world while in the zodiac sign of warriors and “me first!” Does “me” or “we” prevail?

For Taurus, Uranus will also be moving into your twelfth house of mental health, attitudes, addictions, self-destruction, secrets, intuition, spiritual mysteries, charities, bureaucracies, and hidden forces working behind the scenes. When other planets clash with Uranus, he will bring chaotic mood changes, stubbornness, and/or unexpected issues involving deception, delusion, bureaucracies, and “fogginess”. Problems involving government agencies, hospitals, prisons, large corporations, and other institutions could seemingly pop up out of nowhere. When other planets work nicely with Uranus or they just leave him alone to do his own thing, he will be working hard on your behalf to bring a friendly, funny, upbeat joy to your moods. He will bring sudden flashes of inspiration, brilliant brainstorming, and an intuitive ability to work with groups of people into your life. Corporate websites and working in big technology based companies could prove quite interesting and profitable at this time. You could also find you are hit with a bit of an independent streak and might want to strike out on your own professionally or spiritually. Allowing yourself this kind of freedom could be quite uplifting emotionally.

Neptune tries to bring emotional well-being, spirituality, and a touch of magic to whatever he touches. Unfortunately, he also has a tendency to bring self-destruction, bureaucracies, and gullibility too. He usually spends about 14 years in each zodiac sign. Neptune rules over mental health, attitudes, intuition, secrets, spiritual mysteries, paranormal activities, charities, bureaucracies, and other hidden forces that work behind the scenes. If things are good, he brings compassion and a touch of magic. If things are bad, he brings delusions and fogginess.

As 2010 begins, Neptune is still in Aquarius and your tenth house. He will stay here until January 2012.

In Aquarius, Neptune is behaving in sort of a yin-yang energy to Uranus. Uranus is in Neptune’s zodiac sign and Neptune is in Uranus’ zodiac sign. They are each doing their thing, but focusing on the other’s topics. While Uranus is creating brotherhood online, Neptune is trying to make mental health, spirituality, and bureaucracies work for everyone. One brings teamwork to humanitarian causes; the other brings humanitarian causes to teamwork. One says, “I am mentally healthy and self-assured so that I can be a great team player.” The other says, “I am a great team player so that I can feel mentally healthy and self-assured.” Is it any wonder that “Yes we can” became the global motto in 2008? To some, it is a delusional concept full of lollypop dreams and gullible “kool-aid” drinking. To others, it is the logical and necessary blending of global teamwork and universal compassion.

For Taurus, Neptune is blessing your tenth house of professional goals and aspirations, leadership, public reputation, and success. You already approach these topics from an Aquarian “all for one and one for all”, brotherhood, and originality perspective. When things are going well, Neptune will magically help your career and when things are not going well, Neptune will muddy the waters and make it very difficult to figure out which direction you should be heading in. It is somewhat like your professional path is a maze or labyrinth and sometimes Neptune helps you to intuitively “know” which way to go. And at other times, Neptunes has you crashing into brick walls and running down dead ends. Following a spiritual path, a path of compassion and heart, etc can help. If you are drawn to psychology or any kind of career that helps others to overcome their personal demons, that could help you to not suffer as much from Neptune’s travels through this area of your chart. On the other hand, Neptune can also cause you to constantly daydream, worry, and wonder about what professional path you will take, should take, could take, etc. Being dreamy while in a creative, artistic, or musical industry is not that bad. Being dreamy in a more traditional career could be a problem. Maybe the answer is to spend the next few years praying, meditating, etc to find the right professional path for you. I am not saying you should be into mumbo-jumbo weird stuff, but that following your gut instincts might be easier than trying to force a more logical method. To some extent, Neptune has a “whatever will be, will be” effect on your professional goals at this time.

Pluto psychoanalyzes, empowers, and/or heals whatever he touches. He has an uneven pattern and can spend as little as 13 years or as much as 32 years in any given zodiac sign. His job is to uncover the hidden truths within our lives and to either empower us with passion and self-righteousness, or to heal us by forcing us to go through a Phoenix Rising type of experience. It can be painful to endure Pluto’s scrutiny, but it can ultimately prove to be incredibly uplifting. Personal rebirth is often the result of Pluto’s passage through certain areas of our life. Pluto rules over trust and sharing. It is often through hidden motivations, hidden assets, hidden agendas, hidden resources, and/or through loyalty and fidelity matters that we find out what we are really made of and we find out what our partners are really made of. Pluto can reveal gifts, assets, stamina, and psychological resources that we had no idea existed within ourselves. And Pluto can reveal the selfish, greedy, and emotionally crippling aspects of ourselves too. All too often, he uses our need for sexual intimacy and financial teamwork (trust and sharing) to teach us these lessons. The reason that Scorpios are known to be so revengeful is because Scorpio co-rules over the trust and sharing concepts with Pluto. Breaking trust is the worst thing you can do to a Scorpio. From Scorpio’s perspective, nothing could possibly be more important that the ability to trust others.

As 2010 begins, Pluto is still in Capricorn and your ninth house. He moved into this area of your life in 2008 and will stay here until January 2024.

In Capricorn, Pluto focuses on doing the right thing because it is the thing to do. Capricorn rules over professionalism, leadership, goals and aspirations, success, civic duty, public recognition, and earning the respect of our peers. Remember earlier when we talked about Saturn and how he teaches us about karma, cause and effect, and “tough love” style life lessons. Saturn rules Capricorn and so Capricorn embraces the concepts of “tough love”, doing one’s civic duty, and ideas like “If I don’t take care of this, who will?” When in Sagittarius, Pluto promoted exploring the world and all of the various cultures, peoples, religions, etc. Sagittarius promoted freedom to explore and to dabble in various religious and cultural teachings. The idea that all religions are more alike than different and therefore we can pick and chose bits and pieces of which ones we like is a very Sagittarian approach to religion and spirituality. We focused on global travel, politics, and mass media. Pluto had a good time digging deep down into the truth about our political beliefs, our religious practices, our international diplomacy, and such. Now, he is focusing on the business systems, ethics, integrity, and professionalism of our world. Do the large corporations follow ethical business practices? Do we have integrity in our government agencies? Do we as individuals, as communities, as states, as countries… do we take on a parental role and look out for those in need or do we focus on our own personal agendas? It may not feel like a lot of fun, but this is the perfect energy for fixing the economic system, the environmental policies, the human rights violations, the health care system, welfare programs, voting fraud, etc. Big systems that are broken can be fixed, healed, restructured, and/or demolished in a smart and tenacious manner. We have the planet of passion, truth, and rebirth focused on the zodiac sign of responsibility, integrity, and leadership.

For Taurus, Pluto is in your ninth house of global perspectives, laws, religions, academia, philosophy, mass media, and travel. You could find that these are all industries that could be very profitable for you over the next few years. Taurus lawyers, judges, clergy, professors, public speakers, broadcasters, publishers, and those of you working in the travel industry are all going to benefit greatly from hosting Pluto in this sector. If you do not work in one of these ninth house industries, then you could find that global matters, traveling, exploring, philosophy, and foreigners are all areas of great passion for you while Pluto is in this area of your chart. Perhaps you have always wanted to live abroad, teach, go back to college, publish your writing, or explore other people's cultures. Pluto could give you the passion and tenacity needed to make these types of dreams come true.
