Overview for 2008
With Saturn in Virgo, and Jupiter/Pluto in Capricorn, you are finally beginning a year that offers growth in your life. As you are the third member of the Earth Trilogy you gain most benefit in January, September and November from the combination of the above. This indicates that progress comes through your own efforts to a large extent, but with the support of a very small group, made up with people who have the other two earth signs prominent in their horoscopes.

Personal Opportunities for Taurus:
Times of opportunity: This kicks off in late January to early February with Venus in Capricorn and is enhanced from 18 April until 24 May. Venus in your own sign 1-24 May allows you to put your personal stamp and your desires into everything you do. Set a personal goal in this time.

Personal Challenges for Taurus:
February and August are generally months that offer more challenging situations as the signs of Aquarius and Leo are the prominent signs in these months. As you are all part of the `fixed group of signs' there can be clash of wills in these times. Mercury moving retrograde in Aquarius on 29 January until 20 February can disturb communications suddenly between you and others. Keep your opinions to yourself and watch what you say and to whom.

Relationships/Finances for Taurus:
Saturn in Virgo is now travelling through the romance and love sector of your horoscope making this area one to give serious thought to. Relationships of long standing can be more testing. Those entering a new relationship this year expect it to grow and develop. Parenting can be another issue that raises its head this year, so many Bulls may become parents, or grandparents for the first time.

If you are prepared to put in sustained effort this year should see your financial base improve. If you were born 10-16 May though you need to be careful when borrowing money especially around late May. May is a critical month for financial affairs in general, but as you have the opportunity to clear some debt in this time, be aware it is better than borrowing more. Joint financial affairs improve September-November.

Career for Taurus:
Opportunities for advancement are offered to you this year even though you may have to travel or relocate yourself to get the best options. It is best to stick with what you know, but improving your existing knowledge or qualifications is offered also from September.
