TRENDS FOR 2012: You are still riding high on the back of the wave that Jupiter presented to you in your life last year. This means you're in the best possible position to call the shots, but it takes maturity and responsibility to do so. Remember too, that nothing lasts forever, so remind yourself that this is still your year, but only up to the early part of June. It is therefore up to you to make those plans to travel, happen, for example. As long as you can look back and see how your horizons were broadened as opposed to just your waistline. Your partner is grappling with problems of his/her own and this is likely to place greater demands on you as from the early part of October.
HEALTH AND WELL-BEING: Having the protective influence of Jupiter in your sign should still ensure that you're glowing with health. As you know, too much of a good thing also has its downside, so take a good look whether your lifestyle is putting your health at risk. The first six months is an excellent time if you wish to make positive changes in the full knowledge that you have a team of supporters around you. Any changes you make are bound to be long term and you're unlikely to see the end result before the early part of October. Nevertheless, for a Taurus to get off the couch and get moving, there has to be a big carrot at the end of that stick. Take things one day at a time.
WORK AND MONEY: Work has probably been more slog than anything else over the past few years. In addition, you've been watched over by a specialist of sorts, which means there has been little room to manoeuvre or do your own thing. Early February sees an important, but subtle change in your career. Gone is the wishful thinking, to be replaced by a new reality of sorts. It will be useful for you to start building alliances, especially if this suggests a move away from employment towards self-employment. You're not know as someone who takes big risks, so do things at a pace that is comfortable for who you are. At least you can say you're looking forward to less and not more supervision.
LOVE AND RELATING: Your relationship planet Mars, spends the entire first half of the year on the sign of the perfectionist, Virgo. Half of this time it is in backwards motion, from 24 January to 14 April, which means relationship could become a particular challenging part of your life. Have sympathy for him/her though, as he/she is likely to be grappling with problems of his/her own making. All of this pre-empts a new definition of love and relating, however, and between end August and early October, you'll realise there is a new dispensation about to come into being. The eclipse on the 13th of November is to be observed with due caution, as that will define the way forward.
