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.

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,
