2012 Yearly Horoscope for Taurus

see another sign Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces

Overview

With lucky Jupiter continuing to bless your stars, you can definitely expect to have the Midas touch in 2012, Taurus. Take advantage of your cosmic carte blanche during the first half of the year and get yourself firmly on the map. The first six months of the year are part of an ongoing personal renovation project before generous Jupiter leaves your stars. Not that you'll be losing much once the planet of fortune and fame moves into your neighboring sign and starts to bless your money sector. On the contrary - as soon as Jupiter moves into Gemini in June, your luck continues to build while grounding you in positive energy. The second half of the year will bring you great financial prosperity and opportunities to expand your talents.

You certainly won't starve for love, lust and creativity in 2012. Mars, the planet of action, will heat up your romance sector for the first half of the year. The first four months of 2012 could bring the return of old flames. Use Mars's first quarter retrograde phase to wrap up old creative and romantic business. Having both Mars and Jupiter working hard on your behalf for the first six months of the year is a glorious predicament, indeed. Between mid-May and late June, your ruling planet, Venus, will turn retrograde, so mark that period on your calendar as a reminder to slow down, reflect and re-evaluate your relationship priorities. In fact, this would be an ideal time to take a hiatus from responsibilities in favor of completely relaxing and immersing yourself in beauty.

Money and finance take center stage for most of the year as you experience several gains and losses. The key to your sanity will be to ride the wave of unpredictability and, in the end, trust that you'll still come out ahead. Pay special attention to your finances around the major eclipse points in May, June and December. Watch for new money-making opportunities around your birthday. It's just in time, because you may very well need to pad your piggy bank for some unexpected expenditures in June and July.

Romantic

With sexy Mars heating up your love and romance sector for the first half of the year, you'll have no shortage of suitors in 2012! While Mars will be retrograde until May, you may find your energy consumed with lovers from the past. That's not necessarily a problem, as long as you realize you must sometimes go backward in order to move forward. Just don't get too caught up in your past's paradise, because the second half of 2012 is all about the new. You're a romantic pleasure-seeker in any case, so expect a slew of fabulous events through which you could very well meet your next serious partner.

How many years have you been saying, 'Just one more year and I'll be happy'? Well, wish no longer, Taurus! Love is about to take a serious and committed turn this October, once Saturn enters your partnership sector. It's no longer a matter of if it will happen, but rather how soon. Get ready to dive deeper into your next commitment than ever before. With Saturn, the cosmic taskmaster in Scorpio, passion and profound intimacy are essential. Get ready to learn the great love lessons of your life over the next two-and-a-half years while Saturn tours your sector of significant relationships. Scorpio is a fixed Water sign, so feelings will easily become deep fixations.

November 2011's total solar eclipse new Moon in Scorpio activated your relationship sector. Love has likely felt more like a hurricane at the onset, but trust that you're sure to see a profound series of change and passionate transformation over the next several months. The theme of 2012 is to commit and spend quality time with those you cherish most. Make the time to cultivate and/or nurture deep and lasting relationships.

Career

You're in stellar standing in 2012, especially during the first half of the year. You'll definitely feel like the 'It' sign, with Mars and Jupiter doing your bidding. Your creativity is off the charts with the action planet, Mars, running an extended six-month stint in your sector of self-expression. Mars will be retrograde during the first quarter, which could create the illusion that not much is moving forward - and yet you've never felt more creative and inspired. Trust that all your inner preparation will meet with great rewards and forward motion.

Neptune had been causing some confusion about your professional identity over the past few years, but now that it will be leaving your career sector for good in February, clarity - if not a major epiphany - is coming. Write everything down, because breakthrough ideas will come like flashes of lightning and will be as easily forgotten as fast as they come. It's time to translate all the gifts of inspired creativity and vision that Neptune brought you over the past several years into flourishing future plans. The tragedy would be to keep all of these gifts locked up as mere potential.

When the big eclipse points hit your money and talent sector this summer, you'll see another huge wave of changes unfolding over the latter half of 2012. And since you can be the most stubborn of all signs when it comes to embracing the new, you may actually welcome this colossal cosmic push. There is no going back, Taurus - you're destined for bigger and more glamorous things (with many of them likely involving extensive travel). La Dolce Vita, baby!
