Mars has been in your own sign since June 28, giving you more energy, which is in general good for health. However, it can make you impatient and, with so many retrogrades, can make you feel frustrated. Also, it can lead you to push the body further than is warranted. This is the downside healthwise.
The power in your 6th house from the 22nd onwards is good news for health. It shows that you’re paying attention here. It is also good for job-seekers and for those who employ others. There are nice prospects in store. This also gives a good work ethic and superiors will take note.

Retrograde activity once again reaches the maximum for the year. From the 9th to the 12th 60 per cent of the planets will be retrograde, and even after the 12th there will still be half of the planets going backwards. The good news is that in the coming months retrograde activity will gradually decline. Things will start moving forward again, little by little.
There are some good points to so much retrograde activity. It forces us to slow down and take stock in many areas of life. It’s not so much about ‘doing’ but about gaining clarity on things, and as clarity is gained, plans can be formulated for the future. When the planetary momentum shifts to forward motion, you will be in a good position to make progress.
Your strong 6th house until the 22nd – showing a focus on health – will stand you in good stead for afterwards when health is less easy than usual. Until the 5th you can enhance the health through abdominal massage and diet. You also respond well to earth-based therapies (with the Grand Trine in Earth until the 22nd). So, mud packs applied to parts of the body that bother you, mud bathing or bathing in waters with high mineral content are all good. After the 5th give more attention to the kidneys and hips. Hip massage will be beneficial. Apply the methods mentioned in the yearly report. The most important thing is to maintain high energy levels. Never allow yourself to get overtired.
The month ahead is a strong social month – this month and October are probably the socially strongest in your year. The Eastern sector of self is still stronger than the social West, but the West is more pronounced than usual. Everything is relative. On the 22nd you enter a yearly love and social peak. (You’ve had greater love and social peaks in your life, but this is relative to this year.) Singles are going to date more. All of you, single, married or in a relationship, will be going to more parties and gatherings.
Love doesn’t seem that serious though. It’s all about fun and games – another form of entertainment. Venus, your love planet, will be in your 5th house of fun from the 6th onwards, while the Sun (your fun planet) will be in your 7th house of love from the 22nd. The two planets are in mutual reception, guests in each other’s sign and house, which is a positive aspect. The two planets are cooperating with each other.
This is also good financially. It shows that you’re earning money in happy ways. You’re probably taking on more risk than usual (and that’s a lot), but you seem lucky in speculations. You’re spending on fun things too. The message of the Horoscope is enjoy your life, and love and finance will take care of themselves.
October
Best Days Overall: 1, 2, 11, 12, 19, 20, 28, 29, 30
Most Stressful Days Overall: 9, 10, 15, 16, 21, 22
Best Days for Love: 3, 15, 16, 21, 22
Best Days for Money: 4, 5, 13, 14, 21, 23, 31
Best Days for Career: 5, 14, 21, 22
Last month on the 22nd the planetary power shifted from the night side of your Horoscope to the day side, from the lower to the upper half. Home, family and emotional issues are becoming less important and the focus is more on the career. Your career planet, Saturn, started to move forward on September 29 so the timing is perfect. Things in the career are moving forward. You’re getting ready for a new career push.
Health still needs your attention. This is one of your vulnerable months – especially until the 23rd. So, as always, rest and relax as much as possible. Do your best to maintain high energy levels. This is a month where you respond well to detox regimes. Perhaps surgery is recommended to you, but since your health planet Mercury will go into retrograde motion on the 14th, get a second opinion. Detox should also be explored. Safe sex and sexual moderation are important. A herbal colon cleanse might be a good idea.
You’re still in the midst of a yearly love and social peak, which will go on until the 23rd. However, Venus will spend most of the month in Virgo – from the 2nd to the 28th – and she is not very comfortable in this sign. In astrological lingo, she is in her ‘fall’ – her weakest position. The urge to socialize is there, but the social magnetism is not up to its usual standards. The important thing is to avoid destructive criticism and perfectionism. This is not going to help love. If you can avoid these pitfalls, love should go well.
Venus in Virgo is better for finance than for love. She is part of a Grand Trine in the Earth signs – a very fortunate aspect for wealth. The financial judgement will be sound. You will be a more careful shopper and get value for your money. You will tend to earn money the old-fashioned way, through work and productive service. Bosses, elders, parents and parent figures seem helpful financially.
Venus has another one of her solstices from October 29 to November 2. She pauses in the heavens (in her latitude motion) and then changes direction. This will happen in love and finance too. It is a good pause. A pause that refreshes.
On the 28th Venus enters Libra, her own sign and house. Here she is more powerful. Earning power will be stronger, although you’ll work harder for it. Your social magnetism will also be stronger – but do you have the interest?
November
Best Days Overall: 7, 8, 16, 25, 26
Most Stressful Days Overall: 5, 6, 12, 18, 19
Best Days for Love: 2, 3, 12, 21, 22
Best Days for Money: 1, 2, 3, 11, 12, 19, 21, 22, 27, 28
Best Days for Career: 2, 11, 18, 19
The planetary momentum is now forward: by the 29th 90 per cent of the planets will be in forward motion. So the pace of life is quickening, just as you like things. If you’ve used the retrograde periods properly, you’ll be in a good position to move forward.
Mars’s retrograde will end on the 14th. This is an important development as Mars rules your Horoscope and he has been retrograde since September 9. You now have more confidence, more direction, more clarity about things.
Venus is still in her solstice state until the 2nd, so don’t be alarmed at the natural pause in love and finance. It is a cosmic pause that will lead you in a new direction.
We have another lunar eclipse at the end of the month – the fourth one this year. It happens, technically, on the 30th but you will feel its effects earlier. Sensitive people feel an eclipse as much as two weeks before it actually happens. The good news is that this eclipse affects you relatively mildly and it does not impact powerfully on other planets (only Neptune is sideswiped). The eclipse occurs in your 3rd house, and students below college level are affected. They can change schools and educational plans. There can be disruptions at school or shakeups in the management of the school.
Siblings, sibling figures and neighbours are also affected. Siblings and sibling figures will need to redefine themselves for the next few months. This will change their mode of dress and the image they present to the world. Cars and communication equipment are likely to be temperamental – repairs or replacement might be necessary. It will be a good idea to drive more carefully over this period. Every lunar eclipse affects the home and family; this has been happening all year and this eclipse brings more of the same. There are dramas in the lives of family members, and especially of parents or parent figures. Family members are more temperamental too.
Health is much improved over last month, and it will improve even further next month. In the meantime, enhance the health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report. Until the 11th do more hip massage; after the 11th you respond well to detox regimes. Safe sex and sexual moderation are also important after the 11th.
Love seems delicate until the 21st. You and the beloved are seeing things in opposite ways and seem distant with each other. This doesn’t necessarily mean a break up: there is just a need to bridge differences. Love will improve after the 21st. It becomes more erotic. Sexual magnetism seems the most important factor for singles. Even for those in a relationship, good sex will cover many sins.
December
Best Days Overall: 5, 6, 13, 14, 22, 23
Most Stressful Days Overall: 2, 3, 9, 10, 15, 16, 29, 30, 31
Best Days for Love: 2, 3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 22, 23
Best Days for Money: 2, 3, 8, 11, 12, 16, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27
Best Days for Career: 8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 27
You have a very eventful month ahead, Aries, but good. Saturn moves away from his stressful aspect with you on the 18th and will start making harmonious aspects. Jupiter will do the same on the 20th. And though you will still need to keep an eye on the health after the 21st, the stresses will be nowhere near the intensity of January, June/July or September/October. Until the 21st enhance the health with thigh massage. A herbal liver cleanse might also be a good idea. After the 21st enhance health through back and knee massage.
The sixth eclipse of the year occurs on the 14th. It is a solar eclipse which occurs in your 9th house, so avoid foreign travel over that period. If you must travel, try to schedule your stay around the eclipse. This eclipse affects children, children figures and college-level students. There are changes in educational plans – sometimes they change schools, sometimes they change courses, sometimes there are shakeups in the school – in the management or the rules. If you are involved in a legal issue there will be a dramatic turn one way or another. You are closer to resolution.
Perhaps more importantly, your religious, theological and philosophical beliefs get tested (this will go on well into next year). The eclipse brings a crisis of faith. Some beliefs will need to be modified; some will need to be discarded. These changes will impact your whole life. They are probably not pleasant when they happen, but ultimately they are good. Neptune, your spiritual planet, is affected by this eclipse (it is a more direct impact than last month’s eclipse). Thus there are spiritual changes – changes in practice, teachers and teachings. A spiritual ‘course correction’ is happening. A good thing. There are shakeups in charities and spiritual or altruistic organizations that you’re involved with, and there will be dramas in the lives of guru figures in your life.
On the 21st you enter a yearly career peak, although it won’t be as strong as your last one in January. You have probably attained many of your short-term goals. Career is still important, but now you are not so career driven in the way you have been for most of the year.
Jupiter and Saturn in your 11th house (Saturn entering on the 18th and Jupiter on the 20th) show that you are making new and significant friends, and that these friends are helpful in your career. You are mixing socially (not necessarily romantically) with important people.
Venus will be in your 8th house until the 15th. Thus you seem very involved in the finances of the spouse, partner or current love. He or she had a very good financial period last month, and it will still be good in the month ahead. There is good financial cooperation between you. This is also a good period to pay down debt or to borrow, depending your need.
In love sexual magnetism is still the prime factor. This will change after the 15th when there will be a need for more philosophical compatibility. Love and finance are good this month.

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!
Finance
Taurus is very money-conscious. Wealth is more important to them than to many other signs. Wealth to a Taurus means comfort and security. Wealth means stability. Where some zodiac signs feel that they are spiritually rich if they have ideas, talents or skills, Taurus only feels wealth when they can see and touch it. Taurus’s way of thinking is, ‘What good is a talent if it has not been translated into a home, furniture, car and holidays?’
These are all reasons why Taurus excels in estate agency and agricultural industries. Usually a Taurus will end up owning land. They love to feel their connection to the Earth. Material wealth began with agriculture, the tilling of the soil. Owning a piece of land was humanity’s earliest form of wealth: Taurus still feels that primeval connection.
It is in the pursuit of wealth that Taurus develops intellectual and communication ability. Also, in this pursuit Taurus is forced to develop some flexibility. It is in the quest for wealth that they learn the practical value of the intellect and come to admire it. If it were not for the search for wealth and material things, Taurus people might not try to reach a higher intellect.
Some Taurus people are ‘born lucky’ – the type who win any gamble or speculation. This luck is due to other factors in their horoscope; it is not part of their essential nature. By nature they are not gamblers. They are hard workers and like to earn what they get. Taurus’s innate conservatism makes them abhor unnecessary risks in finance and in other areas of their lives.
Career and Public Image
Being essentially down-to-earth people, simple and uncomplicated, Taurus tends to look up to those who are original, unconventional and inventive. Taurus people like their bosses to be creative and original – since they themselves are content to perfect their superiors’ brainwaves. They admire people who have a wider social or political consciousness and they feel that someday (when they have all the comfort and security they need) they too would like to be involved in these big issues.
In business affairs Taurus can be very shrewd – and that makes them valuable to their employers. They are never lazy; they enjoy working and getting good results. Taurus does not like taking unnecessary risks and they do well in positions of authority, which makes them good managers and supervisors. Their managerial skills are reinforced by their natural talents for organization and handling details, their patience and thoroughness. As mentioned, through their connection with the earth, Taurus people also do well in farming and agriculture.
In general a Taurus will choose money and earning power over public esteem and prestige. A position that pays more – though it has less prestige – is preferred to a position with a lot of prestige but lower earnings. Many other signs do not feel this way, but a Taurus does, especially if there is nothing in his or her personal birth chart that modifies this. Taurus will pursue glory and prestige only if it can be shown that these things have a direct and immediate impact on their wallet.
Love and Relationships
In love, the Taurus-born likes to have and to hold. They are the marrying kind. They like commitment and they like the terms of a relationship to be clearly defined. More importantly, Taurus likes to be faithful to one lover, and they expect that lover to reciprocate this fidelity. When this doesn’t happen, their whole world comes crashing down. When they are in love Taurus people are loyal, but they are also very possessive. They are capable of great fits of jealousy if they are hurt in love.
Taurus is satisfied with the simple things in a relationship. If you are involved romantically with a Taurus there is no need for lavish entertainments and constant courtship. Give them enough love, food and comfortable shelter and they will be quite content to stay home and enjoy your company. They will be loyal to you for life. Make a Taurus feel comfortable and – above all – secure in the relationship, and you will rarely have a problem.
In love, Taurus can sometimes make the mistake of trying to control their partners, which can cause great pain on both sides. The reasoning behind their actions is basically simple: Taurus people feel a sense of ownership over their partners and will want to make changes that will increase their own general comfort and security. This attitude is OK when it comes to inanimate, material things – but is dangerous when applied to people. Taurus needs to be careful and attentive to this possible trait within themselves.
Home and Domestic Life
Home and family are vitally important to Taurus. They like children. They also like a comfortable and perhaps glamorous home – something they can show off. They tend to buy heavy, ponderous furniture – usually of the best quality. This is because Taurus likes a feeling of substance in their environment. Their house is not only their home but their place of creativity and entertainment. The Taurus’ home tends to be truly their castle. If they could choose, Taurus people would prefer living in the countryside to being city-dwellers. If they cannot do so during their working lives, many Taurus individuals like to holiday in or even retire to the country, away from the city and closer to the land.
At home a Taurus is like a country squire – lord (or lady) of the manor. They love to entertain lavishly, to make others feel secure in their home and to encourage others to derive the same sense of satisfaction as they do from it. If you are invited for dinner at the home of a Taurus you can expect the best food and best entertainment. Be prepared for a tour of the house and expect to see your Taurus friend exhibit a lot of pride and satisfaction in his or her possessions.
Taurus people like children but they are usually strict with them. The reason for this is they tend to treat their children – as they do most things in life – as their possessions. The positive side to this is that their children will be well cared for and well supervised. They will get every material thing they need to grow up properly. On the down side, Taurus can get too repressive with their children. If a child dares to upset the daily routine – which Taurus loves to follow – he or she will have a problem with a Taurus parent.
Horoscope for 2020
Major Trends
There are two major headlines in your Horoscope this year. The first is the enormous power in your 9th house – three long-term planets are there for most of the year. The second is Uranus in your own sign. This began last year in March and will continue for many more to come.
The power in your 9th house is a positive thing. The 9th house is very beneficent. It is so beneficent that even maleficent planets that occupy or pass through there become kinder. So this is a year for making religious and philosophical breakthroughs. It is a year for travelling and expanding your horizons. It is especially good for students either in college or applying to college and it indicates success in their studies. Focus tends to bring success. It is a year where a deep theological discussion or the visit of a minister or guru is more interesting than a night out on the town. It is a year for going deeper into the meaning of life and your personal philosophy of life.
