Taurus Monthly Forecast

Because the Sun will always spend the majority of the first three weeks of February in your career sector, the solar spotlight is always on your career and professional situation, matters and options at this time of year. However, this year with a lot of water having already passed under the bridge before the Sun even returned last month. While Pluto returned to your career sector for a few months in 2023 and even returned again on the same day as the Sun in January 2024, when he returned in November it was to put down roots. With the planet of change and transformation here now until 2044, this is the overlapping of the start of this new professional year and of a new two decade long journey. Helping you to focus on the more immediate job of getting this new professional year up to speed is having Mars in your career sector until 15th February, the Sun until 18th February and the dwarf planet Ceres, who is on her first deep dive into your professional needs and priorities in four years until 24th February. Closely aligned with this is Jupiter, whose direct turn in your income sector on 4th February will take the brakes off and turn the lights green. With Pluto not only here for the rest of the year but for the next 20 years, by 24th February this is when it will become more about the journey. At the same time, this will see the focus on your social life, friendships, teamwork and networking increase as the month progresses, for as the Sun, Mercury and Ceres leave your career sector it will be to return to your friendship sector, where they will all spend the rest of the month. This will put them in harmony with Mars, who until turning direct in your communication sector on 24th February is keeping the communication lines open to the past as well as with the asteroid Juno, in your relationship sector until 20th February. Meanwhile, while Venus will begin the month in your friendship sector, she will leave and return to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 4th February, though will return for a do over later next month.

There is change in the air this month, with the dynamics looking very different on the romantic front than what you would normally expect at this time of year. On the one hand, you have the South Node in the first full month of its 18 month transit through your romantic sector, something that while not a planet is going to keep the spirit of romance alive while defending against roadblocks and barriers, whether real or imagined. The South Node will always put a lot of focus on the past, something that will take on new meaning when Venus, the planet of love returns to a nostalgic and reflective part of your chart on 4th February. This should be the start of a nostalgic trip down love's memory lane that will end 24 days later with Venus' return to Taurus but instead, that won't happen until early June. This is because of a retrograde turn early next month that will take the planet of love into even deeper reaches of love's memory lane and will eventually see her retrograde all the way back out and back into a social and serendipitous part of your chart, where she begins this month. Adding to a sense of romantic nostalgia will be the Moon's monthly visit to your romantic sector from 13th February to 15th February, something that will see these romantically charged lunar vibes reach their peak on Valentine's Day. Meanwhile, it is the asteroid Juno, the queen of commitment who has been flying the flag for your relationships, with her return in early November until her departure from your relationship sector on 20th February continuing to keep the focus on your relationships. In a case of perfect timing, the Moon will make its monthly visit from 18th February to 21st February, ensuring you are emotionally engaged and aware during Juno's final hours as she leaves. Fortunately, a retrograde turn next month will bring her back in April to spend another five and a half months here.
