Your Personal Horoscope 2009: Month-by-month Forecasts for Every Sign. Joseph Polansky
8th to the 25th) and in spiritual-type settings (after the 25th).
Your financial planet moves very speedily this month and this shows great financial confidence, quick decisions (and probably good ones) and a sense that you cover a lot of ground financially. You are making quick progress. Until the 8th earnings and financial opportunities still come from your career, good professional reputation, the favour of elders and parent figures and authorities in your life. After the 8th earnings come through friends and through involvement with professional or trade organizations (perhaps charitable organizations as well). Financial intuition is important after the 25th (it is always important, but now more so).

Saturn has been the handle of a ‘bucket-type’ chart for some months now and is still so this month. This shows that regardless of your success and many interests, it is your faith, your religion, your positive world view that helps you lift up your life.
Last month Venus, your personal planet, the Ruler of your Horoscope, went Retrograde. And although this didn’t stop your career success or social life, it left you with a feeling of being directionless—you were not quite sure what you really wanted. You have tasted career success and are probably asking yourself, ‘Is that all there is?’ It is good for you to be thinking like this, reviewing your goals—especially your personal ones—re-evaluating and seeing where you can make improvements. The timing for this Retrograde couldn’t be better. For by the time Venus starts to move forward on the 17th, you will be clearer on your goals, and when the Sun moves into your sign on the 19th you will be ready to leap into action.
Keep in mind that most of the planets now (and it’s been this way for the past few months) are in the Eastern, personal sector of your chart. They are reaching the maximum point very shortly. You have the power to create conditions as you desire them to be with minimum outside interference. If you do your personal homework and review during Venus’s Retrograde, your creation will be much better and happier.
Though you still have many interests this month—career, friendships, group activities and organizations—the main headline this month is spirituality. Your 12th House is chock full of planets: 50 per cent of the planets are either there or moving through there in the month ahead. So this is a month for making spiritual progress, for spiritual breakthroughs and revelations. Your innate spiritual gifts are very much increased. You will have more supernatural-type experiences (though some of you might regard them as ‘coincidence’). Your dream life will be more active and you will be more open to spiritual teachings. This is a great period to go on that spiritual retreat or pilgrimage to a holy place; it is also good for getting involved in charities and altruistic kinds of activities. As you follow the call of your spirit you will find (especially until the 9th) that all your financial needs are taken care of as well. Generally people feel that spirituality is impractical and that they need to focus on practical issues in life. But this month you will discover that this is not so. It is eminently practical and has prepared for all of your needs.
Love is more complicated this month. Both Venus and your love planet, Pluto, are Retrograde (Pluto begins to Retrograde on the 4th). So you are in a period for reviewing your marriage, love relationship or friendships and seeing where you can make improvements. Avoid making any major love decision (one way or another) right now. Gain clarity and perspective now.

Last month, on the 19th, you entered a yearly personal pleasure peak—a time for taking care of the body, giving it its due, and for enjoying all the pleasures of the body. This personal pleasure peak is still in full swing. On the 20th, you will enter a yearly financial peak too, so you are in a prosperous period as well. Sounds like Taurus heaven—plenty of money and plenty of sensual delights. Enjoy!
The main interests this month are career (which is wonderful all year, but will get even better after the 20th); the body, the image and personal pleasure; finance (especially after the 20th); and spirituality.
Like last month this is still a great time for going on spiritual retreats, meditation seminars, spiritual lectures or religious-type pilgrimages. And it’s also good for getting involved in charitable and altruistic kinds of activities. You are successful and prosperous these days and it is good ‘to give back’ to the source. Spiritual-type exercises are also good, things like yoga or tai chi.
A spat with the beloved early in the month doesn’t interfere much with the overall love life. It passes quickly. Your beloved seems into standard religion, while you are more into spirituality and mystical kinds of experience, but you need not fight about this—both approaches are valid.
Health is good this month. You can enhance it further by giving more attention to the head and face (like last month). Scalp and face massage is excellent. So is cranial sacral therapy.
Your travel planet, Saturn, starts to move forward on the 17th and also receives very wonderful aspects, thus there are travel and educational opportunities happening. Students are doing well in school too.
Finances are good, but keep in mind that Mercury is going Retrograde from the 7th to the 31st of this month and this complicates a basically beautiful financial period. Earnings will continue, wealth will be increased, but there are probably little glitches and delays. As always, do more homework in your financial life—in your decision making—during the Retrograde period. There are happy financial opportunities in real estate, from the family and family connections, restaurants, hotels and the food business. Your spouse or current love is prospering after the 20th and seems generous with you.

Though the Sun has left your 1st House you are still very much in a personal pleasure peak: Mars moves into your 1st House on the 1st and Venus, your ruling planet, moves in on the 6th. You have a lot of energy, personal magnetism—you exude electricity and sex appeal—charm and grace. Your personal sense of style is very sharp right now. You can get your way through charm and grace or by sheer brute force if you choose. You are still very much in an independent frame of mind and should continue to create conditions as you desire them to be. This is a time where the world needs to adapt to you, not vice versa.
On the 6th the planetary power makes an important shift from the upper to the lower half of your chart. For the next four to five months, most of the planets will be below the horizon of the Horoscope, the first time this has happened this year. Career is still important and very successful now, but many goals have been achieved and it is time to take a breather—the pause that refreshes. Shift some energy to the family and to your emotional life. Cultivate your feeling of harmony. Work on career goals by the methods of night—by dreaming, goal setting and visualization—rather than by the methods of day, which are overt action. You are in a period where you are gathering the inner forces for even greater career expansion later on in the year.
Your yearly financial peak is still
