This is an excellent week for just about any form and expression of creativity. Even if you're not working in a creative profession, you'll be very imaginative indeed this week Taurus!

Paint and re-paper a room or hallway, making your house even more attractive in so doing. You're quite sensitive, this week, to the esthetical side of your surroundings.

Emotionally speaking you're in a very special mood indeed, the next few weeks. You'll feel like telling everyone within your circle of friends and family what you think about them, whether it concerns a pleasant message or not. You're on the warpath, so to speak. Because of this you'll easily get into conflicts, something that is usually completely foreign to your nature.

Try to be wise and listen to other people, even if it's just for a bit. Their viewpoints are not always wrong. A fault confessed is half redressed. There are people who really care about you Taurus!

This is an important month for finances and possessions as the brightest star in the zodiac spotlights your money. The sun’s transit of your 2nd house could point to something you value which may not have anything to do with finances.

Mercury transits your earned income until June 25, so money and possessions won’t be leaving your conversations or internal dialog for a while. You may be planning to make an important purchase, or working on a budget or savings plan. Your strategy may be to improve your earning power and savings, or you may be negotiating for the best price on material goods. Your challenges are that you have some worry or difficulty with finances regarding children, leisure, or romance.

The new moon June 12 also falls in your 2nd house of earned income, material goods, and values. You’ll have two weeks following this new moon to begin anew, although the first week is the most beneficial. You may ask for more hours at work or your shifts could change. This new moon may prompt you to save, budget, or make a purchase. This would be a good transit to shop for transportation or make repairs. This new moon may encourage you to have a garage sale. Whatever you begin now should be well underway by the time we reach our full moon in two weeks.

Venus glides into your 4th house June 14 – July 10. Venus in your home and family sector may find you enjoying more time at home or there may be parties, family functions, or the desire to spruce up your surroundings. Relationships with family benefit from this transit. Family may seem generous or more supportive now. It’s possible that with your financial influences, home is where you need to be this month. A 4th house Venus transit can bring more money into your home, or could be helpful for real estate agreements.

Mars leaves your 4th house of home and family on June 7, after an unusually long 8 month transit. Mars does not respond well to the 4th house; however, in Leo, a compatible fire sign, it may have been helpful for you. Mars will now transit your 5th house of pleasure, children, and creativity June 7 – July 29. This transit will be helpful for your creative works or for sharing your talents. Children or youth activities may keep you busier than usual, although this transit could cause some conflicts as well. Mars will support your travel plans, learning new skills, your romantic relationship, or contacts with people far from home.

Jupiter, the planet of expansion, abundance, and luck enters your 12th house of confinement, spirituality, secrets, and mental health on June 6, 2010. Taureans born April 21 – 25 will notice Jupiter’s opportunities and blessings in June and next month in July. Jupiter will then retrograde in July, moving back into the late degrees of Pisces, and then re-enter Aries in January 2011. If you were born after April 25, you will experience this planet of blessings next year. You may not appreciate now how you will benefit from a 12th house transit, but you will when you look back on this transit. A flower will not bloom unless its seed is planted deep within the soil where you cannot see it. The seed is watered and nourished by the nutrients in the soil before its first stalk springs forth to life. When Jupiter enters your sign in June 2011, your life will blossom and open up to new possibilities.

The 12th house is the area of your life where you go to heal yourself from past hurts. If you are long suffering from something that has happened to you, or perhaps you have had an experience that has been difficult for you to release, Jupiter can help you to come to terms with it and help you let go. You may even let go of aspects of yourself that you no longer find desirable.

Jupiter is co-ruler of Pisces and the 12th house in the natural zodiac. You will be learning about the spiritual dimensions of life during this time. You may be asked to teach by playing an important role in someone’s spiritual development. You might find a person that acts as a spiritual teacher or guide for you. This person could be anyone you meet, or someone you already know, though not necessarily someone that is publicly recognized.

This is also an important transit for having greater compassion and empathy for those who suffer or for those who cannot help themselves. You may become passionate about helping others because you realize that by helping one person or living thing, you help many. Just be careful not to take on other people’s problems.

This Jupiter transit may find you spending more time alone. This could be for research, learning a new skill, or working on an important education, publishing, or media related endeavor. It’s also possible that you’ll need this transit to recover from a surgery, a difficult transition in your life, or from a past hurt that takes you some time to work through. The transit will not influence you for a full year, although it could if you have several planets in Aries.

Uranus, the planet of sudden insight, unexpected events, and independent thinking will conjunct abundant Jupiter on June 8 in your 12th house of isolation, secrets, and spiritual matters. This aspect occurs at the opening degree of Aries, a sensitive degree in astrology which is also known as the Aries point. This opening degree of Aries is sometimes related to the public and fame. If your birthday falls April 21 – 25, you will be influenced most! The closer your birthday to April 21, the more powerful this aspect will be for you.

This Jupiter/Uranus aspect will be powerful through June 15, the same day the moon meets up with Venus in your 4th house of home, family, and property. Whatever unfolds may regard a family or property matter. Other hot topics now may concern a child, a creative/artistic endeavor, a sibling, an investment, a pregnancy, divorce settlement, a financial contract, or reconciliation amongst family.

The full moon at 5° Capricorn on June 26 is a powerful partial Lunar Eclipse. This eclipse belongs to Saros Series 120. The last eclipse in Saros Series 120 occurred June 15, 1992. Eclipses of the same series are woven together with similar energy threads; therefore, some part of your life in 1992 may have ended and a similar theme may be emerging now. You might not be old enough to remember the events of 1992, so to help you judge your response to this month’s eclipse, think back to June 24, 2002—what happened later that year when we had a lunar eclipse at 3° Capricorn?

Hosting an eclipse in Capricorn may bring issues of structure, commitment, career or social status, productivity, discipline, and determined effort.

Lunar Eclipses finalize what has gone before or the issues peak and no further progress is made. Lunar Eclipses help to close chapters in our lives. Lunar energy influences us internally, at an emotional level; therefore, you may feel sad or hurt by what unfolds. You can’t move forward carrying the past with you, Taurus.

You will know how your life is being influenced by the end of July; however, this eclipse may have some influence over your circumstances through Dec. 2010. In addition, the last week of September this year may be significant regarding this eclipse when the sun meets up with Saturn and squares this eclipse point in your chart.

Pluto conjuncts the eclipsed moon in Capricorn at this lunar eclipse. Pluto’s influence can cause obsessive behavior, power struggles, or impulses to rise, as its energy it transformative in nature. Pluto has the power to change your life, your emotions, your relationships, and your domestic conditions.

The eclipse occurs in your 9th house of education, legal matters, long distance travel, people far from home, a publishing or media related issue, your beliefs, or long-range plans. One of these topics will be ending for you in order for a new phase to begin. This lunar eclipse may have some influence over finances, a legal binding contract, government assistance, or your partner.

Taurus born within 5 days of April 25 will be influenced most by this lunar eclipse. Read your rising sign for a more detailed and accurate assessment of how this eclipse will unfold for you.

Have a great month!
