Warm up those spirit fingers! With the sun cruising into Pisces on Monday the 18th, its officially teamwork time. Scrap plans to go rogue and welcome a month of joint ventures and collaborations. Theres strength in numbers after all. Although you may be sharing the pie, if you pick the right allies, youll have a far bigger pastry to slice from. Finding your tribe may require a bit of dabbling and social experimentation though, so be patient with the search process. Your personality is a complex blend of flavors and you dont click with just anybody. Although you can be a no-nonsense, salt-of-the-earth type, you are also ruled by Venus, the planet of beauty and love. Dancing between the practical and creative realmsall with a nod to art and luxury–is one of your skills. There ARE others like you out there, Bull, so make it your mission to find them. You may already have met them in fact. On Saturday, the 23rd, social Mercury turns retrograde in Pisces until March 17, making you nostalgic for the good old days. Take a little trip to reconnect with your dearest pals; get the band back together for a mini reunion tour. But be superdiligent about your travel plans. Scheduling snafus and communication breakdowns tend to increase during Mercurys backspins. Read the fine print BEFORE you put down the deposit on that eight-person beach house rental only to discover a fleet of hidden charges not included in the per night price. Yikes! This particular retrograde will also hit your eleventh house of technology. Your printer could die just as youre rushing to make copies of a big presentation or you could discover that your charger cable is on the fritz. So annoying! Take extra precaution and back up your digital dataand dont wait until the last minute for any tech-related tasks. Sync your devices early in the week instead of waiting until Saturday and scrambling to do so. Do you need to learn a new piece of software? Mercury retrogrades are excellent for research and training. If your inner geek is hungry, sign up for that class in Quickbooks or WordPress; take the blogging or social media workshop. As Mercury is the planet of communication, be hyper-vigilant about the messages you send via text or email. This could be one of those times where you hit the Reply All button for a response meant for merely one pair of eyes. Keep your phone locked while youre out partying, lest you butt-dial that client youre trying to woo during one of your Saturday night ragers. Eek! Theres another retrograde to contend with this week. On Monday, structured Saturn makes a slow, five-month U-turn through your seventh house of relationships. The taskmaster planet will be driving in reverse until July 7, making it imperative that you strengthen existing partnerships, even if the process is exhausting. Theres no cutting corners with Saturn at the helm. Whether for romance or finance, Saturns backspin demands that you spell all agreements out to the letter. If youve been doing business on a handshake deal or assuming couple status just because youve spent every weekend for the last month in someones bed, there could be some rude awakenings this week. You know what they say about the word assume: dont let it make an ass out of u and me by blithely carrying on. Initiate those tough conversations about the future and figure out if youre truly aligned with the one youre considering for the role of your other half. Already in a relationship? No more coasting! Date nights arent just an interesting concept; they are a necessity to maintaining your bond. Put them on the calendar as non-negotiable events. Saturn retrograde may bring circumstances that separate you from your boo, such as one of you taking a job that requires frequent travel. Set up Skype dates and send each other daily Instagrams to provide a visual window into each others worlds. Some Bulls will be dealing with legal matters pertaining to a divorce or breakup, or hashing out the finer points of a business contract. This could be slower going than hoped between now and July 7. Spring for a decent lawyer who can help you dot every i and cross every t. With tenacity and integrity, you can work these matters out!

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.
