A part-time interest or weekend hobby will also deliver a heavy workload or psychological burden this year, so make sure you know what is involved before you sign up. Opportunities to travel more widely – or even emigrate – will begin this year. The first seeds will be sown from February-June and from the end of November. Many Taureans will also consider returning to study or writing a book in 2008.
Love
Single Taurus
You will have to live in the real world this year, as Prince Charming belongs in fairy tales. Nevertheless, you will learn more in 12 months than you have in the last 12 years, and this will help you build a solid relationship for the future. Keep life simple by avoid the period around February 21 and early November for decisions and discussions. A reconciliation or new partnership is possible in September and October.
Taurus with a partner
Taureans have staying power and you will need it this year, as you will need to take a patient, practical approach to unavoidable issues involving your son, daughter, pregnancy or adoption plans. Your tenacity will also help you make progress with ongoing intimacy or sex issues. For good results, steer clear of late February and early November for decisions but ask for full support between August 7-30.
Career
Skip complications by avoiding January 13-February 18 for professional paperwork, plans, projects and discussions. Make the most of a special career ally from February 18-March 12 though, as this person could be invaluable for the rest of the year. Avoid the period around August 16 for important decisions and discussions, as a situation which has always hovered on the brink of chaos could unravel then.
Money
If you are committed to studying, teaching, writing, publishing, travelling, emigrating or devoting yourself to your spiritual beliefs, then the money will be there when you need it this year. You are almost at the end of the most intense financial cycle in around 250 years in 2008. One issue from 2006 or 2007 will be replayed in the last six months of the year, but after that, it will be gone for good.
Health
To avoid delays, complications or wasted paperwork, skip September for appointments, or ‘final’ conclusions about your health, wellbeing or diet. You are in a much better position after October 15, when the facts and figures will be at your fingertips. By Melbourne Cup day, you will have a logical answer to a straightforward question, or be in a position to retrace your steps from early spring.
