金牛座的那些人是可爱的。他们温柔热情，性感好玩，有令人喜欢的实用方法，总会在一个朋友或家人需要的时候准备好明智的建议。作为一个金牛，你从来不会轻视别人的痛苦，总是轻轻地温柔地宛转地提供一个深思熟虑的解决办法。当你事实确凿、感觉可靠时，金星的女儿知道没有理由大喊大叫。你是一个稳定的星座，所以在爱情和友谊中，你有可靠的、一贯忠诚的品质，周围的人发现你是令人喜欢的。 

对你来说，这是重要的一年，特别在你的职业和生活情况方面，接下来的8月，在其中一方面或者两方面都会展现出令人惊喜的变化。变化总会带来机遇，尽管你一直不喜欢事情变来变去，在靠近8月7号月食的时候，你要快速发现职业空缺，可能是非常适合你的。月食总是伴随着满月出现的，所以如果你在过去几周或几个月一直谈论一个新的职业职位，这次食相会得出结论。 


两周后，8月21日发生的太阳食相可能会让你考虑自己喜欢住在哪里、以何风格入住。可能你一直考虑的仅仅是临时搬家或改造，但一次食相——任何食相——会激励你采取行动。食相是新的，满月更有力量。自从1998和1999年以来（可以确切到日期和月份）在你的职业或居家生活方面你还没有过如此的食相，尽管在2008和2009年你确实拥有过狮子座和水瓶座食相。 



如果你能回忆起在1998年8月或者1999年1月下旬2月中旬，以及1999年7月8月，在你的职业或居家生活方面发生的任何重要事情，那么你可以在生日年中重新开始一个主题进行回应，行星总在运行，所以尽管食相发生在相同的星座相同的度数，正如过去的那些年月里一样，但是其他的行星也是移动的，所以历史不会丝毫不差的重新上演。回过头看看一个至关重要的主题，即将发生的事情不会是精确的效仿。（译注：1998到1999这两年似乎很糟糕。以后一直很糟糕。唯一值得庆幸的就是没有停止学习。） 


食相通常加速发展进程，所以尽管你感受不到所有食相，根据你生日的确切日期，每年你会感受到4个典型食相中的一部分。在2018年出现的一个食相可能也会涉及你的职业。特别是，1月31号，2月15号，7月27号，8月11号那些日子左右的食相。展望2017和2018年，在居家和职业问题方面你最好的机遇似乎出现在2017年8月。 


还有一个原因让这一年变得重要。天王星，这颗与激变、创意、分裂、反抗、打破旧习俗、个性化有关的行星将在明年5月15号离开白羊座——天王星自从2011年3月一直逗留在这个地方。在2018年5月中旬，天王星会进入金牛座待上接近6个月的周期，直到2018年11月6号。这被视为是未来的一个简短预览，因为当天王星进入一个星座后会在那里度过7年的时光。 

天王星在2019年3月6号回归到金牛座，直到2026年4月才会离开你的星座。如果你感觉自己的个性一直受到一些人的压制或者环境的压抑，那么在接下来的几年里，天王星会带来许多机遇突破这种状况，让你成为自己一直希望成为的人。你的生活方式或着装方式也可能开始有所变化。天王星的特点之一是，甚至会让你比实际年龄看上去更加年轻。 



在你的生日年度中，在生活其他方面可能发生更多的机会，因为在你生日年度的开始，木星（礼物和幸运的赠予者），仍然位于天秤座，自从2016年9月木星就开始待在那里。由于木星正在行经你的第6宫预防健康宫，你会找到对待饮食与锻炼的新方法，你会喜欢的。 


每隔12年，木星进入天秤座12个月，所以今年2017年10月10号，木星一旦离开天秤座，这颗仁慈的行星将会在2028年回归这一星座。 



因为被木星点亮，第6宫也掌管着你的工作任务宫，直到10月10号木星离开天秤座，你可能会有最有趣的工作。这些项目会教给你若干新技能，让你获得其他令人垂涎的工作，从而展示出你的经验和才能。 


财务方面，监工的土星自从2014年12月以来一直位于你的第8宫他人钱财宫 。主政这特殊宫位的并不一定总是令人惬意的行星，但好消息是土星将会在2017年12月20号离开天空上的这一点。 

最后，有一些关于爱情的特别令人激动的消息。在2017年10月10号木星进入天蝎座待上接近13个月，直到2018年11月8号，在占星意义上，你拥有最美好的婚姻相位。古代占星家总是认为这种相位是结婚的良辰吉时，此时结成的婚姻会长久幸福成功顺利。如果你已经结婚了，你的伴侣可能特别善解人意，结果是你们两个都能享受幸福。木星也会与长途旅游联系在一起，所以你与伴侣可能来一次终身难遇的海外度假。 




如果你没有在约会或者没有结婚，你会充分利用2017年10月10日到2018年11月8号木星在天蝎座这段时间里所带来的极好能量，形成繁荣有利的潜在业务关系。在占星意义上，第7宫婚姻宫本质上是一个契约宫，举行一对一严肃庄重承诺合作的宫位。 




这种能量不会互相排斥——感情和业务成果都会有。木星有一种神奇不可思议的光泽，代表着重要的珍贵能量，所以你会考虑一些能利用这种能量的方法。 


在你的生日年度里，你有很多原因对自己的社交生活感到兴奋。 


圈出9月5号到10月22号，将其作为一个特别有说服力的时期去寻觅爱情，尤其是对于单身的牛牛来说。在那段时间里火星位于处女座，开启你两年新感情的一段时间。如果你有伴了，你也会喜欢这段时期，因为你会找到更多的时间与你的伴侣待在一起。你把感情倾注于爱侣身上，爱侣也会回报大量的关爱，将其投注于你身上。 

4天后的10月26号，你会迎来今年最幸运的日子，此时木星连接太阳。不管在10月26号你有什么日程安排，一定要考虑利用这一天做一些重要的事情。 

还有一个日子是需要圈出的黄金日子，也就是2018年1月6号，此时木星与火星对齐。这两颗行星在你的第7宫相遇，第7宫有关深厚感情的承诺和婚姻，尽管月亮没有在第7宫好几天（直到1月11号才到），不管你如何看待它，这两段日子为不朽之爱而闪耀。

Happy Birthday, Taurus!

Those of the sign Taurus are lovely creatures. They are soft and warm, sensual and playful, and have an enchanting way of having practical, sage advice ready whenever a friend or family member needs it. As a Taurus, you will never be dismissive of another’s pain and always offer a thoughtful answer, delivered softly, gently, and diplomatically. Venus’ daughter knows there is no reason to shout when your facts are accurate and your sensibilities are sound. You are a fixed sign, so in love and friendship, you are true-blue and consistently loyal, traits everyone around you finds lovable.

This will be a big year for you, especially in terms of your career and living situation, and one or both may show surprising moments of change this coming August. Change always brings opportunity, and although you don’t always like to see things shift, you will need to be quick to spot professional openings that might be just right for you near the lunar eclipse on August 7. A lunar eclipse always arrives as a full moon, so if you were in talks about a new career position over past weeks or months, this eclipse could crystallize discussions.

Two weeks later, the solar eclipse of August 21 may have you thinking about where you’d like to live and in what style. You may have been thinking only casually of a possible move or renovation, but an eclipse—any eclipse—could propel you to action. Eclipses are new and full moons on steroids. You’ve not had an eclipse in your career or home life area like these since 1998 and 1999 (to the exact date and month), although you did have eclipses in Leo and Aquarius in 2008 and 2009.

If you can recall anything important that occurred in your career or home life in August 1998 or late January/mid-February 1999 as well as July/August 1999, you may be able to pick up a theme that might be echoed in this birthday year. The planets are always on the move, so while the eclipses may be in the same degree and sign as they were in those years, the other planets will have moved, so history does not repeat precisely. Look back to see an overarching theme, not an exact echo of what will occur.

Eclipses usually speed progress, so while you won’t feel all eclipses, you will feel some of the typically four each year, depending on the exact date of your birthday. The coming ones that may also touch your career will be in 2018. Specifically, those will come by January 31, February 15, July 27, and August 11. Looking at 2017 and 2018, your best opportunities in home and professional matters appear to take place in August 2017.

This should be a big year for another reason. Uranus, the planet of sudden change, creativity, disruption, rebellion, iconoclast, and individuality will leave Aries next year on May 15—a place Uranus has been since March 2011. In mid-May 2018, Uranus will enter Taurus for a nearly six-month period, until November 6, 2018. This is considered a short preview of what is to come, for when Uranus enters a sign, he remains there seven years.

Uranus will return to Taurus on March 6, 2019 and not leave your sign until April 2026. If you have felt your individuality has been stifled or suppressed by any person or condition, Uranus may bring many opportunities during the coming years to break out and be the “you” that you were meant to be. Your lifestyle or mode of dress may also start to change. One of the hallmarks of Uranus is that you might even appear to look younger than you have in years.

There are many more opportunities due in your birthday year that will fall into other areas of life. As you begin your birthday year, Jupiter, the giver of gifts and luck, will still be in Libra, a place Jupiter took up in September 2016. Now that Jupiter is moving through your sixth house of preventive health, you may find a new way of approaching eating and exercise that you will love.

Jupiter enters Libra every 12 years for a 12-month period, so once Jupiter leaves Libra this year on October 10, 2017, this planet of goodness will not be back until August 2028.

The sixth house, so lit up by Jupiter, also rules your work assignments, and until Jupiter leaves Libra on October 10, you may be given the most interesting assignments. These projects could teach you a number of new skills that might land you other plum assignments to showcase your experience and talents.

Financially you have had taskmaster Saturn in your eighth house of other people’s money since December 2014. This has not always been an easy planet to host in this particular house, but the good news is that Saturn will leave this spot in the sky on December 20, 2017.

Finally, there is some VERY exciting news concerning love. When Jupiter moves into Scorpio this year on October 10, 2017 to stay nearly 13 months, until November 8, 2018, you could have the finest marriage aspects in the zodiac. Ancient astrologers always felt this to be the most auspicious time to wed for a long, happy, and prosperous marriage. If you are already married, your partner might do exceptionally well, and you both may enjoy prosperity as a result. Jupiter is associated with long distance travel, too, so you may take an overseas vacation of a lifetime with your partner.

If you are not dating or married, you could use this glorious energy brought by Jupiter in Scorpio from October 10, 2017 to November 8, 2018 for forming potentially prosperous business relationships. In astrology, the seventh house of marriage is essentially a contractual house where one-on-one serious, committed collaborations take place.

This energy is not mutually exclusive—there could be both a romantic and business outcome. Jupiter has a magical, miraculous patina, and represents important, rare energy, so you may want to think about ways you might be able to tap into it.

In your birthday year ahead, you have lots of reasons to be excited about your social life.

Mark down September 5 to October 22 as a particularly potent period for finding love, especially for single Taurus. Mars will be in Virgo during that time and could start you off on a new two-year romantic cycle. If you are attached, you also may enjoy this period, for you might find you have more time to be with your partner. You can lavish affection on your partner and may receive bushels of flattering attention in return.

Four days later, on October 26, you will come to the luckiest day of the year, when Jupiter will conjunct the Sun. No matter what might be on your agenda near October 26, consider using this day for something important.

There is another day for you to circle in gold, namely, January 6, 2018, when Jupiter will align with Mars. These two will meet in your seventh house of deep emotional commitment and marriage, and while the moon won’t be in this seventh house for several more days (not until January 11), no matter how you look at it, both of these days could sparkle for everlasting love.
