January 2015 horoscope - Taurus

I follow the sidereal calendar; this is the January 2015 horoscope for birthdays from 16^th May to 15^th June of Taurus Ascendants and Moons

The New Year begins with you having your eyes and heart set on romance and relationships. Partnerships for good or bad are not an easy thing to deal with these days but it is what takes up your focus and time for good or for bad. A lot of Taureans are set on making things works, you’re not ready to let go, and those who are single finally want to meet that special someone. You are in a very romantic mood these days and the first three weeks of the months are an excellent time to put your feelers out.

If love is not so much on your agenda, then it’s anything that gives you some new inspiration and insights that teach you something new such as a new course or a trip to a foreign place. For some Taureans, these new learnings and insights directly feed into your work, which, over time, has turned into something more fulfilling and meaningful. If not, then this month, you’re keen to make sure you move towards that goal – a 9-5 job where you feel you can’t make a different to others and to your own life is not what gives you purpose anymore. Especially Taureans with their Ascendant in this sign are likely to develop more of an interest in spiritual, potentially also religious subject – and even write about it. Publishing and writing is an area that’s highlighted these days, so you may do well trying your luck there.

The full Moon on 5^th of January in Gemini is a time for you to reflect on just these subjects and in line with what’s happening around your finances. Again, this could tie in with your developing interests and insights in a number of areas as some of you are likely to establish a little sideline business. This is not an easy task at the moment – there are some stumbling block in the way – but you’ll regret not having tried if you don’t.

Not everyone may agree with your vision for financial gains but this full Moon is in the nakshatra of Purnavasu, ruled by Jupiter, the planet of luck and expansion. This is the nakshatra of the excellent, the good and the ‘blessed’ and the bright one. With Jupiter being the ruler of this nakshatra, it indicates wealth, goods, riches and property; it is ruled by the god of capital wealth or the god of life. It gives the ability to ‘create’ - in form and in structure – hinting at success in everything they undertaken now. This is the nakshatra of the natural educator with a love for world travel and a pronounced interest in religious belief systems, ritual traditions with a love for children. So, ultimately, a gainful period after a couple of hurdles and potentially some difficult (or expensive!) situations you’ll have to face.

With Mercury in the sign of Capricorn, you’ll also have a very clear idea and ability to express your thoughts – although not an overly emotional placement, at least, you’ll be able to reason rationally. At least until 21^st January, this is a nice placement if you wanted to write, publish, research and learn. It’s a more outgoing period that feels less heavy than the previous month and enables you to approach certain situations from a high-level perspective without getting drawn into any drama…or less so, anyway. Mercury then goes retrograde on 21^st January and until 12^th February 2015. The consequences or hiccups of this retrograde period can be felt until 4^th March 2015 – after this time, things to do with your finances, children and romantic interests.

The new Moon on 20^th January in Capricorn again highlights communication, research, learning and travel plans but also to a certain extent has an impact on your marriage. Whatever new projects and initiatives you have in mind, now is the time to start thinking about those. It’s not a time to start implementing with Jupiter and Mercury in retrograde motion but at least you can work on your vision and mission statement both in terms of partnerships and professionally. Have a great month, Taurus!
