Taurus
For the Week of March 29, 2009
Go on. Let it all out. All the past junk we’ve been talking about. Gradually, this week, you’re going to be seeing the weirdest connections between what’s going on in your life right now and your subconscious drives. You may feel tempted to withdraw, which would be healthy right now – it can be scary to express everything that you want to at this point, but it’s unhealthier not to. So spend as much time as you can figuring out what’s going on – writing or emailing might be a good way to channel this energy, particularly with people from your past.
Oddly enough, the more you’re able to work out during the beginning part of this week, the bigger the payoff will be at the end for your work life (even if the issues you’re working through have nothing to do with your career). Take a step back and see if you can find the pattern that’s drawing it all together – a little bit like a Magic-Eye, only with a better payoff. Those things were never as exciting as you thought they were going to be, were they?

Slow but steady. If I had a dime for every time someone said that about Taurus. . . well, I'd be bored out of my skull. Unlike most of us, though, you probably don’t find that boring – that’s a compliment! This week, it is. Romance – particularly a romance begun through friendship – has a good chance of building into something more this week, into something more fun than the average relationship – think Spencer Tracy, Katharine Hepburn (also, it might be added, a Taurus).
You’re going to be obsessed with your love life all week, more or less, particularly as it relates to who you are and your conception and presentation of yourself. Cool, everyone needs time to process things this way. Just don’t let it get to you, and be sure to use that Taurean energy to keep yourself grounded in reality – you’re going to need a good dose of it!
For the Week of March 15, 2009
Oh, Taurus. It’s been a mixed bag for you lately, hasn’t it? It can be hard for you to be social – or at least, outgoing – at the best of times, but what a weird journey it’s been over the past few weeks. Work demands, group drama, all the junk from your romantic past coming back to bite you in the ass –
Well, it’s about to get – if not better, certainly different. Which is always interesting, isn’t it?
Time to think back over the past year. Figure out what worked for you and what didn’t, especially where your relationships to others are concerned, in whatever context that makes sense for you: work, friendship, love. Try to sort through everything – don’t worry about doing anything with it right now, this is more of a period of quiet reflection.
These lessons might be reinforced by your friends and those around you, particularly younger people, who you’ll find especially attractive right now (not too young, and not in that way – please). Maybe you see yourself in them to a certain extent? Take a look at Joan Didion’s essay Goodbye to All That, especially if you live in New York, but even if you don’t – (http://www.mtholyoke.edu/~zkurmus/html/didion.html). There’s a part where she writes:
. . . there was a song in the jukeboxes on the Upper East Side that went “but where is the schoolgirl who used to be me,” and if it was late enough at night I used to wonder that. I know now that almost everyone wonders something like that, sooner or later and no matter what he or she is doing, but one of the mixed blessings of being twenty and twenty-one and even twenty-three is the conviction that nothing like this, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding, has ever happened to anyone before.
So think about that. You’ll have more energy soon. It’s all starting to come together, I swear. Things always do.
