Your Personal Horoscope 2013: Month-by-month forecasts for every sign. Joseph Polansky
the energy you need to achieve your goals.
Love is happy but complicated this month. On the one hand, you are mixing with the high and mighty – people above you in status. You have a knack for meeting people socially who can help your career. Love is high on the agenda after the 5th and this focus leads to success. There are romantic opportunities with bosses and your superiors this month. The problem is that you seem too practical about love. It is more difficult to show your natural warmth to others. You seem slow and cautious about love and find it difficult to give your heart to another. Those involved with Aries romantically need to be more patient with them. From the 14th to the 16th Venus makes aspects to Pluto and Uranus, and this can shake things up a bit – a lover’s spat, a quarrel, or abrupt mood changes in love. This is short term and might even lead to good later on. The air gets cleared.
Finances are good this period. Bosses, elders, parents or parent figures are supportive financially. There could be pay rises (official or unofficial) happening. Sometimes the boss doesn’t give you an actual raise but instead arranges things so that you make more. You and your spouse, partner or current love seem in financial harmony and are cooperating with each other.

A happy and successful month ahead. Until the 21st, your 9th house is powerful. Thus foreign lands call to you. Keep in mind though that Jupiter is retrograde, so foreign travel might not be so advisable. If you must travel, protect yourself. Insure your tickets and don’t schedule connecting flights too tightly. Allow more time to get to and from your destination. Religion, philosophy and higher education are important this month as well. Students at the college or postgraduate level should do well this month. Learning need not be a chore. It is actually one of the great pleasures of life, as you will learn this month.
Health is very good until the 21st. After the 5th give attention to the liver and thighs. Regular thigh massage is powerful. After the 24th, as Mercury moves into Capricorn, give more attention to the spine, knees and skin. Regular back massage will be powerful. If you feel under the weather a visit to the chiropractor or osteopath might be a good idea. Health becomes more delicate after the 21st. Try to rest and relax more. You seem very busy, more than usual, so this will be a challenge. However, if you drop the trivia from your life and focus on what is really important you will have all the energy you need to achieve your goals. In previous months you could afford to be profligate with your energy, but not now.
This month, on the 21st, the planets start to make an important shift from the Western sector to the Eastern sector of the chart. From this point onwards – well into next year – you will be becoming more independent day by day. You once again enter a cycle where you can have things your way. No need to compromise or ‘people please’; your destiny, your happiness is in your own hands.
On the 21st you enter a yearly career peak. Family is still important, but the main focus should be on the career. You owe it to your family to be successful. There is much success, much progress happening here.
Be patient with finances this month. Your financial planet Venus is in Capricorn, and so the financial trends that we wrote of last month are still in effect. Pay rises are still likely. But now you should take a long-term view of wealth. Avoid the ‘quick buck’. Build wealth methodically over time. This is a very good month to set up a financial plan, or long-term savings or investment plan. Your financial planet will go retrograde on the 21st, so avoid major purchases or important financial decisions after the 21st. Do your holiday shopping early this year!
Love is a mixed picture. On the one hand, you are active here – aggressive in love. You seem popular as well. Yet, you seem out of synch with the beloved. You will have to work harder to make things work. He or she seems on top right now, calling the shots, and this could be hard to handle.

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’ 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,
