2010 PROSPECTS FOR TAURUS

2010 SUMMARY
Concentrate on what matters most – building firm foundations for your most ambitious plans, and nurturing precious family members.

THE YEAR AHEAD
A change in your public status might be the first intriguing point on the horizon this year. Your thoughts may focus initially on financial questions. You may be wondering what has happened to your past good fortune and how exactly you can restore it. The answer is that your romantic desires, professional hopes and domestic duties are far more interlinked than you often imagine and, if you get one area sorted out, then the others should follow. Partners may have the edge in any disagreements but, throughout, what they have to say is very important, so do be open to compromise. It’s a fine time for overseas connections, by the way, so always keep your options open.

LOVE AND ROMANCE
You know what you want, but not always what you need. Somehow, though, it seems that you may be responsible for a certain amount of romantic tension, perhaps because you tend to make demands which can never be fulfilled. Be careful, as stress in any field could seriously hamper your financial prospects and you don’t want problems of the heart to hit your cash flow. Far better to keep relationships on an even keel and maintain a prosperous aura. November is bound to be an interesting month, if only because you’re facing a combination of creative social opportunities and continuing overseas travel. You would certainly gain enormously from a trip to far away places.

KEY DATE:
The Full Moon on November 6 gives you a much-needed energy boost.

CAREER AND MONEY
Your year gets under way with such astrologically harmonious conditions prevailing that there’s no danger you will come unstuck, providing you adopt a subtle approach to your affairs. On the other hand, if you force issues at the wrong moment, your plans could well unravel. And that’s why you need to be less concerned with your own feelings and more aware of colleagues’ questions. There are also excellent indications if you are in the property market, but don’t be reckless or you may get more than you bargained for.

HOME AND FAMILY
It will soon be your duty to go into battle! At the heart of the matter is Mars’s magnetic movement through your chart in January and February, pushing you harder than ever to boost your reputation and prestige. But will family members back you? Yes, but only if you’re nice to them. No shouting! You may not be surprised to hear that domestic ambitions are dominant in June, although you will realise just how closely your public hopes are tied to your private world. It might not be until July or August that you achieve your wish of more spacious and comfortable accommodation. That’s not long to wait, and any delays will provide you with the time to revise plans in your favour.

BE CAUTIOUS
Avoid conflicts during March and April.

TIP FOR THE YEAR
Be generous without expecting anything in return.
