Many astrologers, some very well-known and all the column type astrologers like Susan Miller, etc, use whole house astrology and put everyone's sun in the first house and things can be very accurate even for people not born in the morning, so see what might fit with this. If you know your time of birth I'll look for that, too. Usually the general sign reading for Taurus, since you are burning Taurus energy for fuel your entire life PLUS a more specific reading for your actual houses based on your natal chart, is most accurate. Here's a take on Taurus:<br /><br />Today Mercury is in your career house (10th), he stations retrograde Tuesday and squares Mars in your partnership house (7th). This could be something like discussions or plans for the future may be put on hold as relationship disagreements lead you and your partner (some type of equal relationship) to some kind of impasse. <br /><br />Then as Mercury continues backward he quickly reenters your opportunities house (9th) and it will be time to take a second look at long distance travel, education, legal issues, wedding, expansion. Certain realities about expansion or these areas may need to be confronted. This carries thru most of January and is a bigger influence than the 10th house stuff. <br /><br />The New Moon at the end of the week in your opportunities house (9th) could offer up a risky new path that’s exciting and also nerve wracking, but keep in mind that Mercury retro can delay forward movement. There’s NO RUSH. <br /><br />Venus is in your house of shared resources (8th) - on Tuesday he squares Neptune, bringing something like a surge of dreamy "passion" or maybe the desire to throw caution to the wind and spend what you don’t have (other people's money/ shared resources). You could be tempted to accelerate a relationship or make an unwise investment. The conjunction with Saturn by the end of the week, could bring you up short, as you’re confronted with financial or emotional boundaries. You or your partner may feel overwhelmed (and short-changed) after the initial rush. Go slow, and take care with "other people's money" - debts, taxes, loans, your partners finances and physical boundaries. As your options narrow, which sounds like a bad thing, but it isn't - it's just a smaller, sturdier thing - what is left is the truth. Again NO RUSH.<br /><br />Jupiter retro (tomorrow's post) in your house of self-expression (5th house) can put romantic or creative stuff on pause as you slow down and take stock of what’s come your way so far. You may need to do more with creative materials or look more closely at certain details or promises in a new romance or creative venture. There could be something you missed (regarding a creative project, new attraction or children/pregnancy) that requires your attention. Again NO RUSH. Jupiter is going to be kissing up to the North Node of destiny later on this month (and off and on thru June) so something about that 5th house is in your "destiny" - this will somehow be about 'expanding what you know' and remember the North Node is in Virgo so we get there with small, measured steps - you are taking something small and crafting it into something better or into something that serves others. <br /><br />Hope this makes sense. xo<br /><br /><br />Catherine Ivinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-25045829953530875942016-01-04T20:00:43.852-05:002016-01-04T20:00:43.852-05:00Christine - Do you know the time you were born by ...Christine - Do you know the time you were born by any chance?<br /><br /><br />- Cat :)Catherine Ivinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01642469475264570967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3644717516426101893.post-37926378428307240012016-01-04T18:10:54.780-05:002016-01-04T18:10:54.780-05:00Hi Catherine, Could you do a brief reading for thi...Hi Catherine, Could you do a brief reading for this retrograde for my chart? I've got a lot of things coming up right now and I'd like to prepare myself. April 18, 1986. Beaumont, TX. If you're busy I understand but I love the way you explain things so I thought I'd ask. Have a good week!<br />ChristineChristinenoreply@blogger.com
