Voice of Astrology Horoscope for Taurus, 2011

Taurus has as its motto, life in consort with the natural world.  How we treat nature is how we treat the feminine in all of us.  This sign is the epitome of pleasure, just ask one and they'll tell you.   Venus is also the goddess of attraction and as such she attracts the joys of pleasure we feel when we are enjoying beauty, or the purr of a cat.  In our bodies Taurus rules the throat.  You will find that they have a very distinctive voice. For example, singers Barbara Streisand, Bono, Cher, Kelly Clarkson, to name a few.

Taurus is the first of the money signs.  They can make money easily and can save it just as easily.  They really do not feel comfortable without a saving account.  They are also known for their ability to cultivate land and make it a happy place in which to grow life.  These loving Earthy people can be a bit stubborn, or a nicer way to put it,  enduring or steady in the face of conflict.  They do not run from confrontation, but rather like it as a form of amusement to entertain them.  These thoughtful souls need time to absorb new thoughts and ideas.

Taurus’ move slowly and need time to assimilate.  They will not be rushed.  They are possessive and need to be aware of this so that they can let go.  This quality represents a fear of loss that can be easily remedied with fortitude and a sense of consciousness.  They are not terribly social as they prefer to relate to the world in their own way, and do not need acknowledgment of others.

Taurus people are very conservative and solid.  They have a tendency to be cautious and move slowly to a conclusion that they feel comfortable with.  They are also the master of patience.  The total opposite of Aries where living fast is a way of life.  They have a great sense of when to move in anger.  When that button is pushed, after a spell of irritation, then look out for the bull to rage at you.  It can throw you off balance when just a minute ago they were smiling,  then out of the gate, the bull attacks.  Where did that nice guy go?

What the Planets are Doing...

Welcome to all you Venus orientated souls.  The Sun enters Taurus on April 20th at 3:18 am PDT.  Bring on the easy life after the drive of Aries.  Go out and plant your garden with organic soil and see what pops up.

Also on April 20th, Venus, the ruler of Taurus, moves into Aries at 9:06 pm.  It will be 12:06 am on the east coast.  My condolences, Taurus, just kidding.  She will be floating around your 12th house so dreams can be active and fast moving.  Venus is not exactly happy in Mars' sign however she'll tolerate it well.  Venus does move into Taurus on May 15th, so happy days will be here again.

Mercury returns to it's forward motion on April 23rd at 3:04 am PDT.  We can begin to get our energy of accuracy back as this retrograde has been difficult for all of us. 

Mars enters Taurus on May 11th at 3:04 am.  What a relief for many of us. This move can make you stand up a bit higher so you can make your wishes known.  You won't be taking a back seat during this time. 

May 15th, both Mercury and Venus move into Taurus.  We can feel the relief until May 15th as there will be 2 planets in Aries.  After that, the driving force in the universe can take a breath, and begin to relax a bit.  In the mean time we can accomplish wondrous things if we think them through and not jump into everything at once.  If we really tune in we can see the forces to work and respond to the energy in a positive manner.  This can bode well.
