March 2012 horoscope for Taurus
Today, February 28th, the 12th Mercury starts to retrograde. If you want to get well informed about Mercury retrograde, please read my article about it. March will be such a complex but interesting month! In the middle of such a chaotic time in politics and global financial turmoil, we may experience a little prospect of recovery or at least a momentary rise in our hopes, thanks to Jupiter, the lord of prosperity and good fortune and Pluto the transformer and powerful planet, beautifully aspecting each other, for the first two weeks of March. This is the third and last meeting of Jupiter and Pluto, which have been on and off since July 2011. The area where Jupiter is traveling in your chart is where you can see the light of hope. Mercury the planet that rules transportation, travel, communication, learning, and the media, is retrograde from March 12th until April 4th. Mars and Saturn are retrograde as well, so we have to adjust our timing with the Cosmos; in other words, be patient and don’t hurry on your projects, but instead go over them as many times as is needed to make them absolutely perfect. Success and improvement will come... slowly but surely. And here comes the Equinox, representing the first day of the year in astrology and we are eager to start something new. Did you ever try to drive your car with the hand brake pulled? The car engine is on making that revving noise, the wheels are spinning but the car doesn’t move. That’s the feeling we are going to have in all activities in the month of March. Mercury enters Aries on the 2nd and we tend to think less and talk more. We can get stuck in trying to prove our points of view. It’s healthier to stop shouting and quit proclaiming truths that are really only opinions. Inner wisdom comes in silence! It is an excellent time for self-reflection. However use the first 10 days of March, to get your tasks taken care of, like buying electronics if needed, traveling, moving, relocating, launching projects or presenting a business proposition before Mercury goes retrograde on the 12th. Mercury remains in Aries until March 23rd. This, dear Taurus, is a time for you to plan in secret or to prepare the right strategies you will implement on a project that should be launched between May 9th and May 24th, when Mercury will be in your sign in full speed helping you to get your ideas released. You will speak up and communicate what you have been preparing all this time. If you don’t have any projects in the works, start one; don’t waste this opportunity to show the world how talented you are. Today the 4th, work duties and serious matters can take your concentration away from a love affair. You have to choose between pleasure and serious responsibilities; you won’t be able to have both. Don’t worry if the object of your love doesn’t show too much appreciation, tomorrow is another day and everything can change! Venus the lady that rules love, beauty, the arts and luxury is entering your sign dear Taurus, the most sensual and steady sign, today the 5th. We don’t want superficial love, we want a stable relationship. The arts will benefit from this time, which is lasting until April 3rd. We can see improvements in the cosmetic industry, like the launching of an amazing product or an FDA approval of a beauty contraption that can improve something relating to the human body. We've got a languid demeanor that makes everything we do seem sensual. Venus your ruler planet in your sign happens once a year and this is the time you are the most exuberant human being on the planet. You are charming, attractive and sensual dear Taurus; if you are single and looking for a new love, you can bet you’ll find the one at this time. Venus will also enhance your creativity and inspire you to show all the beautiful things you can share with the world, whether in the arts, dance, music, fashion or photography. On the 6th dear Taurus, you are in love with love and you are an inspiration to others! Your good will stimulate others to help you in any way. The angels say AMEN to your wishes. On the 8th, when the Sun rises, at 5:40 AM, there’s a full moon in Virgo, very close to Mars retrograde in Virgo as well, creating such a tense morning that will continue on for the next 7 days. Let’s look at the big picture instead of picking the unimportant details and making a big deal of it all. Stick with what is really meaningful for you. This full moon wants us to connect with the wholeness, the universal love and to the people dearest to us. Everything else goes, but the feeling of love is eternal.
For you dear Taurus, besides connecting with the universe, you must have fun, all the fun you can get! It’s more like a pleasure seeking moment than a reaching out for larger goals. Be easy on yourself at this time, because you need free time to be creative and to express yourself, this is your mood for this full moon, that’s the way to reach out to your life goals. You feel like being in love and you may pour your heart out to a lover or a romantic affair reaches a moment of splendor. This is the perfect day for love! Today the 12th Mercury starts to retrograde. If you want to get well informed about Mercury retrograde, please read my article at: Mercury retrograde. Mercury is retrograde in Aries, the sign of action and energy. Mars the planet that also rules action and energy is also retrograde in Virgo since January 23rd and remains there until April 13th. Mars is in Mercury’s ruling sign (Virgo) and Mercury is in Mars ruling sign (Aries); as we say in astrology, they are in mutual reception, which is when each planet is in the sign ruled by the other. To understand what a mutual reception is, think of time-share house-swaps: you have an apartment in New York City and want to summer in Brazil; someone in Brazil wants to come to New York at the same time. The deal is made, you live in each other’s homes, getting very close together without ever meeting, and the mutual exchange touches both lives. This fact will empower both planets and the retrograde action will be much stronger, which could create quite a frustrating energy. Currently, we can’t count on the energy we need to initiate something or to stay in action. We may experience problems in transportation, travel, railways, flying, in sending correspondence, computer related issues and most activities that include action, such as sports, protests and decision-making.
The working class can be impaired by things like having to wait for any measures or reform action about to be taken in their favor. With everything, it feels like the whole world is in slow motion… If we insist in acting fast and getting our projects done, we may become very frustrated because, IT’S NOT GOING TO HAPPEN AT THIS TIME! “As above, so is below.” Ok dear Taurus, lets understand how this mutual uncommon planetary event will affect you. Until March 23rd, Mercury is placed in your area of hidden subjects and subconscious mind, so you will have plenty of time to elaborate and re- elaborate on your projects or one special project and have all the time to go over it and perfect your work with extra research and more information. The only down side is that you can be a little forgetful and mess up your appointments which you can usually control easily if you are aware and have an updated agenda.
The area of love and romances will be affected as well, giving you more time to connect with your deepest feelings and find out what you really feel for that guy or girl and what you can expect from this relationship. Just observe your partner’s behavior at this time (until April 13th) but don’t make any decisions. Your intuition will be very accurate, as will your creativity and self-expression. Listen to your heart, but don’t make any important moves that could impact your life in the future. It’s time to use your Taurus 6th sense and meditate on the subjects you want to understand… and dig deep within. We have to take this time to perfect out projects, redo them, review them, return to places we have been to before, and reconnect with people we haven’t seen for long time. We ought to research deeply subjects of our interest, and most importantly, we have to be patient and let the results unfold at their own pace. Step back! Relax, Mercury goes direct on April 4th and Mars on April 13th and then you will have the best and most perfect and precise project or decision organized or made, ready to be launched. Jupiter and Pluto, makes their last trine out of three, between March 8th and the 18th, and opportunities can knock on our door… It’s a fantastic time to review your investments or make adjustments to your savings plan. Unfortunately this beautiful energy won’t be in full range, because we can’t count on Mars and Mercury, which will be asleep and slow. But just the fact that they are retrograde and under this fortunate transit, may protect us from something harmful that could have been worse if we didn’t have this blessed aspect and the retrograding planets. This planetary configuration could cause something like that lucky unsuccessful attempt to bomb Times Square a couple years ago when the police caught the bomber in time and avoided the worst. For you dear Taurus, Jupiter in your sign is a guarantee that the universe will be protecting you from any harmful energy; you are the dearest of this planetary combination and no matter how many planets are in retrograde you can still get great opportunities. All you have to do is follow your intuition and read what is under the surface, yes be attentive to the obvious but put great attention to the unread and untold. If you have a scheduled trip at this time, you will have a great time for sure! On the 13th a relationship that has been on and off can become deep and meaningful to you. Your ruler Venus is teaming up with the powerful Pluto and your feelings are strong today, dear Taurus. If you are single you can find someone who could change your life, for better of course. The 14th is a super lucky day. This is one of those days when couples fall in love, the stock market rallies, we hear good news in a broadcast, and our hopes are raised. If you want to pick a day to have an important meeting, to set a date with someone special or to just have fun, this is THE day! Venus is teaming up with Jupiter and Pluto, (and don’t forget Jupiter is in beautiful aspect with Pluto) and Mars is also in a fantastic angle with Jupiter and Pluto! There aren’t many days like this one very often; mark this day on your calendar and share your experience with me in my blog, Yes! I’m 58; I want to know what kind of lucky experiences you had today. If this is going to be a 5 stars day for everyone else dear Taurus, for you it will be a five thousand star moment! It’s an event that doesn’t happen very often and it carries your name on it, it’s a package from the heavens addressed to you. Your ruler Venus is hugging her pal Jupiter in your sign, and at the same time Venus is kissing the sex guy, Mars who is also in good harmony with Jupiter, so it’s a ménage a trois made in heaven. It’s a very special day for you when you can and should schedule anything important, because it’s going to work in the best possible way.
As for love…. forget it! You have everyone desperate to be with you! If you have anyone in your life, he or she will proclaim his or her love for you; you could set the wedding date today or you could decide to move in together. If you are single you can find the best match you could dream up, and this relationship will be HOT! And don’t forget Jupiter in your sign is in perfect aspect with Pluto, so your life can change drastically for much, much BETTER today. The sun enters the sign of Aries today the 20th. The Equinox is coming! Plan something for the Equinox in advance and enjoy the fast trip to reaching your goals. The Sun now is entering your area of the subconscious mind, illuminating anything that is out of your sight. Equinox happens twice a year, springtime and in the fall. It’s when the sun crosses the plane of the earth’s equator and day and night are of equal length. The day the sun enters the sign of Aries, (same day as the Equinox) is seen by astrologers as the beginning (first day) of the astrological year. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac; Aries is the initiator, the pioneer, and always ready for action. Aries' motto is "Ready to start”
When the sun enters the sign of Aries, the universe is open for new beginnings. There’s this energy of initiation which is appropriate for starting new projects, new routines, a new diet, a new exercise program, to launch a new book, an art exhibition, to change locations, to start a new job or a new life. This energy is comparable to going sailing when there is a tailwind, and you don’t have to row, but just head the boat in the direction you want to go and enjoy the sailing without much effort. However with Mars and Mercury retrograde the tailwind sailing can be replaced by the pulled brake while the foot is on the pedal effect. We should hold off on initiating anything today, but we can set new goals, make our resolutions for the year, or plan something to be implemented after April 13th. It’s a time to perfect our projects. The new moon on the 22nd in Aries marks the real first new moon of the new astrological year. We can propose a change in ourselves, in our behavior and in how we approach our tasks more efficiently, how we connect with others, and how we bring out our creativity. During this new moon, you can discover something very special about you, in terms of talent or creativity, the hard side is how to tap into this great find. Try to remember your dreams, (take notes if you wake up in the middle of the night, because it is likely that you will forget come morning) and get a therapist to interpret your dreams, they can be very weird, but they can also be an opening for your future. The new moon in Aries underlines our uniqueness. On the 23rd, Mercury goes back to Pisces until April 16th. Pisces represents mystical dimensions beyond what is immediately available to our five senses of this physical world, so things can be quite confusing, when dealing with mundane subjects… Some can follow the wrong GURU during this time thinking he is the salvation for your soul, only to find out later he is only an impostor.
Mercury will be in your area of friends; besides the fact that you could have some misunderstandings with your friends, you can also find an old friend on Facebook or while walking down the street and have a great time together remembering the good times you used to have.
The Sun and Uranus join the same energy of Aries on the 24th, emphasizing the affirmation of the New Moon in Aries that we are unique and special. There will be something that only you can do, a path that only you can walk, and a story that only you can write. Bet on it!
Have a great month and happy new astrological year!
