Youre a regular philosopher of love this week, Taurus, thanks to two pairs of planetsVenus and Mars, and Saturn and Pluto–forming friendly angles to each other and broadening your outlook on what makes an ideal partnership. Last week, your trademark stubbornness was in full swing. This week, those sore subjects and sticking points pave the way for deeper love and understanding. Youll feel willing to discuss, listen with an open mind, and try on another perspective. Hallelujah! Let go of your need to have all the answers; you dont have to come prepared this time. Instead, co-create a solution through a dialogue (tip: dont just talk at people, listen too!). Through these conversations, youll hit on a solution that you could never have dreamed up on your own: a true win-win. Turns out the best relationships are not the ones that are wholly conflict-free (yawnboooooring). Relationships bring out the good, bad, and ugly, helping us grow and stretch. Its how you and your partner resolve your differences that mark the true measure of success. That means youll have to give a little, Bull; it cant be my way or the highway. With the rubber meeting the road right now, youll have plenty of opportunities to learn the fine art of compromising and collaborating. You might even team up on a professional venture with the one you love, or with a close friend. Who says business and pleasure cant mix? As long as you clearly delineate responsibilities, this could be the start of a profitable chapter in your union. Start researching holiday travel deals too as a sexy getaway a deux may be the perfect elixir for an ailing relationship. Passport, please. You might be marking the end of the world as we know it in tropical Tulum, a sacred site of the Mayan prophecies, or sailing along the Adriatic coast as 2013 rings in. Single Bulls can expect some horizon-expanding experiences in the game of love. Youre free to take a gamble now and entertain an impractical relationship (you live in two different cities, s/he doesnt meet your parents strict religious standards, you work a high-level corporate job and fall for a firemanyou get the picture). The Mars-Venus angle helps you open your mind and put those finger-wagging Taurus morals to bed. Saturn and Pluto bring some legitimate, go-the-distance options into your world. Assume nothing, Taurus. If youre even the slightest bit intrigued by someone this week, you owe it to yourself to explore. The same holds true for business dealings, so if you already have a ring on it, funnel this desire to form fresh partnerships into the realm of your career. Teaming up with an overseas or out-of-state collaborator can help you expand your reach, broadening your outlook on life exponentially. Take time to check the GPS on your existing partnerships and ventures too. Are you happy with the direction they are flowing in? Structured Saturn helps you recalibrateand quickly! You might make a sharp turn this week, surprising the people around you immensely. Dont worry: theyll pick their jaws up off the ground eventually and see the method to your madness. Make your leap!

General Characteristics of Taurus

Sensual Taurus is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty. Your sign loves great food, romance and beautiful things. Venus kicks your five senses into high gear, so you are are happiest when surrounded by the best of everything. Satin sheets, gourmet dinners, a glass of red wine, and boom...you're relaxing into one of your famous, 14-hour naps. Not that you don't work hard, too. Like a bull, Taurus operates at two speeds: either totally relaxed, or charging headfirst towards a target. You prefer to keep the peace, but when you're pushed past your limit, watch out! Underneath it all, you just want to be comfortable, and surrounded by life's finest offerings. Taurus knows what s/he likes, and that's that. You stick with your opinions, and you don't change unless there's a really good reason. You can be stubborn...but on the upside, you're also loyal and dependable. Just be careful not to get stuck in a safety zone or your life could become stagnant. Take a chance and try something new. Sometimes, change and risk can bring the progress and reward you're wishing for.
