MAY 2011
TAURUS
Life gets crazy sometimes, doesn't it? Unless you are over eighty years old, you have never before experienced the transit of Uranus through your solar twelfth house and Pluto through your ninth. And it's wild. You go along thinking you've set everything up nicely. It all appears to be solid and stable, and as far as you're concerned, you could go marching along toward forever, juggling business and family, keeping your little boat from taking on water. Then, all of a sudden, you realize you have been setting yourself up for a blow.
Out of the blue everything changes. Only thing is, it wasn't at all sudden. It wasn't at all a bolt of lightning that struck you out of nowhere. The changes you are currently being exposed to have been long in coming. Fortunately, Jupiter passage the first half of 2011 have given you a haven of refuge and some much needed time to recoup, refresh yourself, and figure out what the hell you are going to do with the rest of your life.
And figure it out you will. Although it does irritate you to accept the fact that your previous way of life will not ever be the same, in your private and lucid moments even you would have to admit that it was getting pretty old. And it's not that you abhor change just because you are a Taurus. Lots of Tauruses move from place to place, change jobs or professions, and shift life styles, those are the changes THEY themselves make. It bugs them to receive a sucker punch from life. And nothing in this world hurts more than to find that the people they trusted and supported have gone and royally screwed them.
Actually this is all a blessing in disguise. Hard to see, though. Definitely sometimes really difficult to grasp it. The journey on which you are setting out will turn out to be the most enriching and rewarding of your whole, entire life. Don't worry- it doesn't mean homeless and starving on the streets of Calcutta. In fact, by mid-month when Venus and Mars return to your sign, you'll feel a lot stronger and more in control and the whole thing won't seem dire at all. What does it all mean? That's exactly the trip you are going on. You are actually being liberated from the tyranny of all the parental, school, church, government and social conditioning that has told you what is right for you.
It's a brand new life style. It's unusual. It's a role against type. It's a total departure. It's an experiment. It's an exploration into the unknown. It's not about career or fame. It is the search for your place in the Universe, and to do it, you have to abandon so many of your beliefs about who you were supposed to be.
PROFESSIONALLY
No sane business person would ever be ecstatic to hear that their life is no longer about business. No actor likes to be told that their acting “career” is over. It is important for you to understand that this is not the case. It is simply that your focus is shifting away from the pursuit of traditional goals toward achieving a sense of personal fulfillment. That certainly does not mean that you have to give up your wishes for a sense of accomplishment and contribution in the world. It's just that you want something more out of life than the usual rewards that are held out in front of us to make us perform like a bunch of seals balancing a ball on our noses so somebody could throw them one lousy fish. There comes a moment in your life, if you're lucky enough, to be moved off the track you were sitting on and not budging. While it is disruptive, it may take years to realize that a train was coming down that track, and that it was Providence that came along and gave you the chance to do something meaningful and really live- maybe for the first time.
PERSONALLY
Even when the whole world is falling apart. Nations rise up against their leaders. Global economic crises may jeopardize everyone's long-held illusions about their future security, but here's what is great. People still fall in love. Tauruses now have a desire to make a difference in the world and seek a better life for themselves and their families-off the angle, out of the fray, away from the rat race we are all programmed to run in our whole lives. With the asteroid Juno going direct this month in your solar fifth house, the importance of love and children rises up to warm your heart and show you the power of intimacy, especially if there is a Virgo person in your life. What's that? You're not possessive? You? You're not a jealous type? You? You're not competitive in love? You? Oh, that's really funny.
GEMINI
As long as you can stay in contact with friends and get out of the house, you're ok. At some point, however, you will probably go AWOL, get under the radar and hide out for a while. There is a money issue hanging over your head, and no matter how you try, it drags on and elude resolution. Try patience and honesty.
