Joseph Polansky - Your Personal Horoscope 2016

The kidneys and hips. These areas are also always important for Taurus. The hips should be regularly massaged. Regular herbal kidney cleanses are also beneficial.

The liver and thighs. These only become important from September 10 onwards. Thighs should be regularly massaged and a herbal liver cleanse or detox might also be a good idea.

Jupiter rules your 8th house of transformation, and his presence in your house of health from September 10 onwards suggests that detox regimes will be helpful after that date. It also indicates the importance of safe sex and sexual moderation.

Venus is your health planet. She is a fast-moving planet and every month she will be in a different sign and will receive different aspects. Thus there are many short-term trends in health, depending on her condition. These trends are best dealt with in the monthly reports.

Your 4th house of home and family has been strong for the past two years, but not this year. Many of you have moved or made any renovations that needed to be made. This year you can coast. You seem satisfied with the status quo and have no need to make major changes. There’s nothing in the cosmos against it, by the way – just no compelling urge.

Jupiter has been in your 5th house since August 2015, and will remain there for the first half of this year. This indicates enhanced fertility for Taureans of childbearing age. Pregnancy wouldn’t be a surprise.

We have two solar eclipses this year. One on March 9 and the other on September 1. Since the Sun is your family planet, these eclipses will affect the home and family situation. Generally, these are the times when we discover any hidden flaws in the home. Often repairs are needed. Family members will tend to be more temperamental during those periods too – so more patience is needed with them.

A parent or parent figure in your life is prospering this year. He or she is likely to be more generous with you. This same parent figure could be having a surgical procedure this year.

Children and children figures are prospering, and siblings or sibling figures in your life are likely to move or renovate their homes in the coming year – mostly likely from September 10 onwards. (It could happen in the first half of 2017 as well.) If they are of childbearing age, the women are more fertile. The family circle will get enlarged through birth or marriage.

Children and children figures in your life may want to move – they feel cramped where they are – but it is not advisable this year. They are better off making better use of the space that they already have. Grandchildren have a stable, static domestic year.

Siblings and sibling figures seem burdened by health issues. They can improve their health by paying more attention to the liver, thighs, spine, knees, teeth and bones. They need a daily disciplined health regime. Children and children figures can benefit from head and face massage.

If you are repainting, decorating or beautifying the home, July 12 to August 22 is a good time. This is also a good time if you’re buying art objects for the home.

Though there doesn’t seem to be a need for major renovations this year, if you choose to do these things (this is free will on your part) March 1–6, April 21–May 20 and July 22–August 22 are good times to do them.

Taureans are always interested in money – it is basic to their nature – but this year less so than usual. It’s merely a question of intensity. Some years are like that.

I read this as a very good signal. You are basically prosperous and content with things as they are. You have no need to pay too much attention here. However, should financial difficulties arise (and this is not likely until after September 10) the solution is to start paying more attention to this area of your life.

This is a prosperous year. Jupiter in the sign of Virgo is making fabulous aspects to your Sun, which is a classic indicator of prosperity and overall success. This aspect gives optimism and the feeling of good fortune. You catch the lucky breaks in life.

Jupiter in your 5th house for the first half of the year gives luck in speculations. If guided by intuition it might be a good idea to invest harmless sums on the lottery or some other kind of speculation. Prosperity need not happen this way – a person needs the right natal chart for this – but it is one of the avenues the cosmos can use.

A parent figure prospers and is more generous with you. There is good family support.

Jupiter is the ruler of your 8th house of transformation, and this gives many messages. There is good fortune with estates, taxes and insurance claims. There is good spousal support. It is easier to borrow and your line of credit is probably increased. Outside investors are easier to attract if you need them.

As we mentioned earlier, Jupiter will enter your 6th house on September 10, bringing very happy job opportunities to you. You’re a hot commodity from September 10 onwards.

Career doesn’t seem much of a focus this year, not the way it usually is. Your 10th house of career is empty with only short-term planets transiting through there. This is more of a party year than a career year. I read this too as a good sign. You’re basically content with the status quo and have no need for dramatic change. It will be a stable kind of year.

Your career planet, Uranus, has been in your spiritual 12th house for many years now. A strictly worldly kind of career is not appealing these days. You need something that is meaningful, something that benefits all of humanity, something idealistic. This aspect is excellent for careers in the non-profit world, with organizations dedicated to causes or charities. It also shows that even if you are in a worldly kind of career, being involved with charities and causes would advance your status. Bosses and superiors would make note of this. Important connections can be made in these kinds of activities.

With Uranus as the career planet, you need a career that offers much change and variety. It favours a freelance type of career. Also, your technological expertise is very important here. You need to stay up to date.

When Saturn left your 7th house late in 2014 a dark cloud lifted off you. The love life had not been happy. Marriages and serious relationships were tested, and many dissolved. The first half of 2014 was very serious in this regard.

Jupiter’s move into Virgo last year was also a big help as he started making nice aspects to your love planet, Pluto. Right now – especially until September 9 – you are in a great love and social period. After a few years of stress and testing, you’re a better person and more able to handle relationships.

The good thing about stress is that it reveals inherent flaws – both personal and in a relationship. Thus, it is easier to correct these flaws. Relationships that survived the past few years are good and will probably last for ever.

Love is happening now, but there’s no need to rush into marriage. Take your time. Next year is much better for marriage than now.

Your love planet, Pluto, rules sex, among other things. Thus the sexual magnetism is the primary turn-on in love. There’s nothing wrong with this, but sometimes people make too much of it. By itself, sex is not enough to hold a relationship together. (Many of you learned this over the past few years.)

Pluto rules your love life from the sign of Capricorn. This shows a practical approach to love. You like the good provider, the person of status, the person who can help your career. Also it shows more caution in love. You are slower to fall in love now than before 2008, when Pluto was in Sagittarius. You’ve become more careful.
