Overview for this Month: Taurus (All)

March 2016

The month ahead brings opportunities to improve friendships, grow romantic affairs and creative projects, and connect with your deeper needs and desires, dear Taurus. Feelings for friends or a lover can be complicated and require some sorting.

While there is certainly activity in your social sector this month with a Solar Eclipse at least one inner planet in this sector at any given time in March, there can also be an introspective quality to you with strong influences in your private and emotional sectors. Soul-searching is essential in March. Listen to your intuition at the time of the solar eclipse on the 8th. It's a time for breakthrough ideas that are bound to bear fruit down the road. A friendship may begin or end - the need for a fresh start becomes obvious. Certainly with Mercury in your friendship sector from the 5-21 and then Venus here from the 12th forward, you're in a great position to network, connect, and share. People are bringing opportunities into your life, and your special charm is helping this along.

Mars moving into your intimacy sector on the 5/6 is especially significant, as it will spend quite a bit of time here with an upcoming retrograde cycle stretching things out. This is a time for focus on intimacy, shared resources, joint finances, debts owed and due, personal power, and power dynamics in a close relationship - all very weighty matters! Complications are part of the picture, particularly with Saturn in the same sector clashing with Jupiter this month. While there can be some ups and downs to deal with, the potential for a breakthrough in an intimate relationship is strong. Jupiter's energy is strong for romantic and creative playfulness, but Mars and Saturn are in a serious, intimate zone. You can be sending out mixed signals about the depth of your feelings or commitment to others.

While your romantic or creative life can get complicated this month, there are also rich opportunities to grow and advance. There can be important turns of events surrounding romance, children, entertainment, and creative projects. You may be finding more meaning in your projects or hobbies. Powerful and meaningful connections might be made. Travel, publishing, and promotion can be rewarding. There can be especially happy times with friends on the 10th and then the 19-21. Connections made now feel spiritually rich.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd can be a final cosmic push to sort out work problems. Health or work matters can reach an important turning point. If your work or daily regimens have become too monotonous and have taken a toll on your spirits, circumstances occurring now push you to make needed changes. This comes at a time when Jupiter and Saturn are facing off and you can be trying to sort out your relationships and commitments, so this can be a time of heavy thinking. However, it's a fabulous time to get going on a new or improved health and fitness endeavor.

Taurus (Born April 21 to 30) and Taurus Ascendant from 0 to 10 degrees Taurus:

March 2016 Taurus Horoscope: Love, Career, & General Trends
 

March 2016

 

Overview.

The Sun this Month: Central Focus, Consciousness

Until March 20th:

The Sun continues to put a spotlight on your solar eleventh house. During this cycle, you are planting seeds for the future, dreaming up plans that you might begin to develop two months down the road, if they still seem viable then. You are more aware of the benefits of networking, and you might find some great ideas through others now. You might be working in a team now. You could be questioning some of the rules you have been living by and you could be ready to try something totally new. You are more attracted to that which is progressive or unconventional during this cycle.

From March 20th forward:

The Sun travels through your twelfth house now, marking a time of retreat and regeneration. Think about the attachments you have--to things, people, and routines--and consider which ones are dragging you down. This is a time when competitive energies and the ego are on a bit of a break. It's not the time to push ahead with brand new projects. Rather, it's a time of reflection, dreaming, and recharging your batteries. Situations that have naturally outgrown their usefulness in your life can now be put behind you. Endings of natural cycles may be part of the picture at this time of year. Your energy is largely applied to personal and private affairs now. Your disposition is introspective. Rest and reflect, and prepare for a more outgoing cycle when the Sun moves into your first house.

Eclipses

A Solar Eclipse Occurs on March 8th:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

The Solar Eclipse marks a new beginning for you. Letting go of the past is necessary in order to move forward. This eclipse occurs in your solar eleventh house, suggesting that a new approach to friendships or new friendships altogether, a new path towards happiness and fulfillment, new associations or affiliations, or plenty of social activity are in store for you. You may see the light in a friendship, realizing its importance in general, as well as the importance of acceptance and camaraderie. Circumstances may be such that you bring a new spirit of friendship into a romance or other connection in the next months. This can be invigorating.

A Lunar Eclipse Occurs on March 23rd:

A general rule of thumb regarding eclipses is to avoid major decision-making in the week before and after an eclipse. This is because new information that could change our perspective often is revealed in the week after the eclipse. There is absolutely no need to suspend projects already in progress. Essentially, it's better to take in right now--to observe and get in touch with feelings.

This Lunar Eclipse stimulates your solar sixth house. Surprises surrounding work, working relationships, daily routines, or health issues are in store. Something that has been "in hiding" or brewing under the surface of things comes to light, or there is a significant fruition or culmination. Flaws come to light and demand a clean-up. This could manifest as, for example, a work project coming to an end or bearing fruit, a surprising announcement on the job, a circumstance that calls for you to support a co-worker, a flurry of activity prompted by the demands of work or for your services, a surprising health matter, and other such possibilities. You can use this surge of emotional energy to make positive changes to your routines. Do something to improve your work conditions if they are annoying you--even if it's a small act of kindness with a co-worker or bringing in something to brighten up your desk or office. Get going on your exercise or nutrition program that you've been toying with in your mind.

Venus this Month: Love, Romance, Social Life, Comfort

Until March 12th:

Venus continues to transit your solar tenth house. Relationships with authority figures, superiors, and with the public are in focus during this cycle. It's a strong period for diplomatic relations, although a negative expression of this position could be bending over backwards to please rather than positive, friendly relations. It's a time when being a team player reaps the most rewards, and you may be mixing business with pleasure now. This may be a time when you are especially enjoying your career or position and making the most of it.

From March 12th forward:

Venus graces your solar eleventh house now. Forming harmonious, warm social friendships, possibly related to group activities within a club, can figure now. You may meet someone through such group activities; consequently, your interests will be shared. Whether or not you do, the bottom line is that sharing interests with someone is what makes you happy during this cycle. Venus here enlivens your friendships and group associations with charm and grace. You are more peace-loving than usual and slightly detached on a personal level. If a romance were to begin during this time frame, it would be characterized by a strong feeling of camaraderie, but it could also be rather impersonal and perhaps lacking in depth and intimacy.

Mercury this Month: Communications, Learning, Connections, Transportation

Until March 5th:

Mercury continues to transit your solar tenth house. Career matters are busy at this time, and there can be plenty of thoughts and/or conversations about your profession, your reputation, or your social standing during this cycle. It's a good time to analyze your work tasks and to streamline them or improve your skills. There may be increased contact with the public now, or you might experience an increased need to be heard and acknowledged for your intelligence, skills, capabilities, and ideas.

From March 5-21:

Mercury is transiting your solar eleventh house. Your mind is bright, alert, and active during this cycle, and you have the ability to come up with unusual and inventive ideas. Sharing your thoughts with others is a prime interest. Others tend to particularly enjoy your conversations during this transit--you are willing to listen as well as add your own thoughts. As well, your ability to grasp unusual subject matter and to intuitively understand what others are trying to say win you some brownie points! You could also do a lot of thinking and musing about your own happiness and long-term goals.

From March 21st forward:

Your mind is focused on private matters and past issues while Mercury transits the twelfth house of your solar chart. This is a time when you are least likely to speak out of turn or to express yourself freely. You're searching behind the curtain, and examining the past for answers. This is a good time for research, quiet contemplation, and meditation; but do avoid getting dragged down by issues that have outgrown their worth and purpose. Examining the past in order to improve the future is certainly worthwhile, as long as you don't waste your energy on guilt. Creative endeavors could prosper now, particularly those that draw upon the emotions or that require creative visualization skills, such as poetry, art, acting, and other such activities. You are likely to require a certain amount of solitude in order to get your thoughts together or to be mentally productive. You are less likely to chat indiscriminately during this transit, and tend to be a little secretive or tight-lipped for the time being. This may be important, in fact, because this position of Mercury is sometimes associated with the uncovering of secrets, so discretion may be in order.

Mars this Month: Energy, Drive, Courage

Until March 6th:

Mars continues to move through your solar seventh house. During this period, strife is possible in your close personal relationships, as a significant other is now mirroring some of your own issues with assertiveness and anger. Attracting aggression in others during this cycle is a clue that there are unresolved issues within that need tending. You might actually seek some form of conflict, whether intentionally or not, in order to deal with these issues. There can be competitiveness in your life now. Any troublesome issues that have been dormant in a relationship are likely to surface, and can now be handled straightforwardly.

From March 6th forward:

Mars energizes your solar eighth house now. Sexuality and intimacy are stimulated under this transit. Negative expression of this energy is the tendency towards ego conflicts concerning jointly held property or money. Conflicts with partners over values or possessions are possible. Occasionally, this transit could bring a crisis or ending of some kind. Something you hear about now might disturb or touch you deeply. You are likely to be more strategic in your actions during this period, as you become aware of the subtleties of human interaction. This is a time when your best course of action is to recognize that you need, or rely on, others for support.

This is a time for focus on intimacy, shared resources, joint finances, debts owed and due, personal power, and power dynamics in a close relationship - all very weighty matters! Complications are part of the picture, particularly with Saturn in the same sector clashing with Jupiter this month. While there can be some ups and downs to deal with, the potential for a breakthrough in an intimate relationship is strong. Jupiter's energy is strong for romantic and creative playfulness, but Mars and Saturn are in a serious, intimate zone. You can be sending out mixed signals about the depth of your feelings or commitment to others.

While your romantic or creative life can get complicated this month, there are also rich opportunities to grow and advance. There can be important turns of events surrounding romance, children, entertainment, and creative projects. You may be finding more meaning in your projects or hobbies. Powerful and meaningful connections might be made. Travel, publishing, and promotion can be rewarding. There can be especially happy times with friends on the 10th and then the 19-21. Connections made now feel spiritually rich.

The Lunar Eclipse on the 23rd can be a final cosmic push to sort out work problems. Health or work matters can reach an important turning point. If your work or daily regimens have become too monotonous and have taken a toll on your spirits, circumstances occurring now push you to make needed changes. This comes at a time when Jupiter and Saturn are facing off and you can be trying to sort out your relationships and commitments, so this can be a time of heavy thinking. However, it's a fabulous time to get going on a new or improved health and fitness endeavor.

About  Our Monthly Horoscopes:

Our detailed monthly horoscopes are designed to reveal and interpret the current transits of the Sun, Mercury, Venus, and Mars in your solar chart. Because these energies or transits do not unfold neatly into any given calendar month (many transits carry forward from one month to the next), you will find some of the energies continue from a previous month. For example, the Sun might transit the second house of your solar chart from June 21 to July 22, so that you will find a similar interpretation for this transit in both June and July's horoscope. This is normal and expected. Transits don't suddenly change as the calendar month changes.

These monthly horoscopes also include an overview paragraph, as well as other energies specific to the month, such as retrogrades, eclipses, or major outer planet transits.

The Highlights section reveal lunar cycle dates. Lunar cycles repeat themselves approximately every 28 days, so it is normal to see the same lunar peaks, such as "Your Personal New Moon" and "Monthly career peak" repeat themselves from month to month, but with different dates. They serve as a helpful guide to cycle peaks in different areas of life, such as financial, career, romance, and partnership.

The horoscopes are divided into three groups or decanates, and the differences between the groups are subtle in parts, and large in other parts. For those who prefer a whole sign approach to horoscopes, simply read the first decanate regardless of your birthdate.
