Your Personal Horoscope 2017. Joseph Polansky
change direction. In the case of Venus (which is the more important one for you) this happens from the 16th to the 19th. So, this calls for a pause in your affairs and then a change of direction. It is a pause that refreshes. It might feel like a ‘stoppage’ but it’s not.
Mars, your spiritual planet, has his solstice from the 23rd to the 30th. This suggests a change of spiritual direction – perhaps a change of direction in the charities or causes that you support.

Health became more delicate last month on the 23rd and remains so until the 22nd of this month. This is nothing serious, just less than usual energy. Try to get enough rest and sleep. This is a short-term issue. After the 22nd your health and energy will rebound. Enhance the health in the ways mentioned in the yearly report until the 7th. After the 7th give more attention to the colon, bladder and sexual organs. Love is active and happy, but there’s no need to overdo the sex thing. Your body will tell you when enough is enough. A herbal colonic might be a good idea if you feel under the weather.
The love life is still the main headline this month, with your 7th house still very powerful. Indeed, on the 7th Venus moves in and makes it even more powerful. You are socially popular and socially active. The 12th and 13th seem especially good on the romantic front (and bring a nice payday too). New friends come into the picture on the 16th, 17th, 29th and 30th. (This can happen online or via more regular ways.) Many of you will be more involved with astrology or have your personal horoscopes done.
Finances will be good this month (always important for you, Taurus). Until the 6th your social connections are important in this: your like-ability is important. After the 6th, as Mercury enters your 8th house, you prosper by ‘cutting back’ – by eliminating waste and duplications, by cutting needless expense, by paying down or refinancing debt. It will be a very good period in which to get rid of old possessions that you don’t need or use. Function should be your guide. Things that you use, keep. Things that don’t get used should be sold or given to charity or otherwise disposed of. The financial planet in the 8th house suggests a need to make others rich. The financial interest of others (especially your partner or spouse) should come before your own. As you put others first, your own prosperity will happen naturally. Tax issues should be considered in financial decision-making. Those of you of appropriate age should consider wills and estate planning – it’s a good period for this. It’s also a good month to purchase insurance or annuities, if you need them.

The planetary power began to shift to the upper half of your Horoscope in October, and during this month the shift becomes much more pronounced. Mars moves to the upper part of your chart on the 9th. Thus all the planets (with the exception of the Moon) will be in the upper half of your chart – and between the 14th to the 27th, even the Moon will be in the upper half. The career and outer goals are most prominent now. Emotional wellness will happen as a side effect of outward success. Focus on the career now. Great progress is being made here this month – and it’s still not your peak career period (this will happen in January and February 2018).
Mars’s move into your 7th house indicates spiritual-type friends these days. Love is more spiritual. Singles have romantic opportunities in spiritual settings – at charity events, spiritual seminars, lectures etc. If you can avoid power struggles in your relationship (one of the problems with Mars in the 7th house), love should be happy. The two rulers of libido – Mars, the generic ruler, and Jupiter the ruler of your 8th house – are both in your 7th house of love.* The sexual attraction and sexual magnetism is the most important thing. It’s not everything to be sure, but will cover many problems in a relationship. You can’t build a long-term relationship only on that, but this is still the primary attraction.
Mercury, your financial planet, spends most of the month retrograde – from the 3rd to the 23rd. This complicates holiday shopping. If possible do it early, before the 3rd. If this is not possible, just do more homework and make sure the stores have a good returns policy. With your financial planet in Sagittarius all month, the tendency could be to overspend.
Health is good this month. There are two planets in stressful alignment with you – Mars and Jupiter – but that’s it. The other planets are supporting you or leaving you alone. You can enhance health further (if you feel under the weather) through detox regimes (until the 25th) and thigh massage. A herbal liver cleanse would also be helpful. After the 25th enhance the health through back and knee massage.
* Pluto, a generic ruler of libido (along with Mars) is your love planet as well.
