Taurus
APR 20 - MAY 20
In the Top Spot
The emphasis on your sector of goals and career is already underway, Taurus, with the sun and powerful Pluto encouraging you onward and upward. While it might take a while to get a feel for how Pluto is working in this high-flying zone, the radiant sun in Aquarius until February 18 compels you to seek out the spotlight. This is your time to shine, so make a point of sending your resume to key companies, especially if you’re looking for a new job or change of career. Become more visible so you can be noticed by all the right people.
This message will be reinforced many times over this month and beyond. With quicksilver Mercury entering Aquarius on the fourth, this is a good time to give presentations, market your business, and get your message out to the world.
Yet the new moon in Aquarius on February 9 will need careful handling. While it could inspire you to make a risky move, you’ll need to have a game plan before you go for it. Acting on the spur of the moment could end in failure, while a calculated risk is far more likely to succeed.
Fiery Mars enters Aquarius on the twelfth, followed by Venus on the sixteenth, so the cosmos is encouraging you to put all your effort into getting ahead. This is also a good time to socialize with those people who can help you move up the ladder to the success you so desire.
Once the sun eases into Pisces and your social sector on February 18, you’ll become aware of opportunities to move in circles that are great for gaining new friends and boosting your business clientele.
Finally, the full moon on the twenty-fourth occurs in Virgo and your leisure sector. That means you might be ready to share your feelings for someone or showcase a skill or talent that you’ve kept hidden until now.
