We may feel that our own nature, our propensity to ignore or deny particular issues, to refuse to deal with matters that enrage us (and so threaten to swamp us), drains all our power away–but that’s not the reality of it. Compartmentalizing has its positives, and in this case, refusing to indulge in daydreams or fantasies, refusing to behave as if our ambitions are the only thing of worth and our happiness lies somewhere in the future, are not only what will make us productive, it’s what will bring significant power and reward, and the key to it all is: take action. Answer the call of whatever grabs your attention. Here’s a hint for handling things successfully: remember what real-life measures were most effective in the past–these hold some kind of information vital to handling what you tackle today.

For those born with the Sun at 10 Taurus. Check your natal chart for the correct Sun degree (you may want to read both the degree number and the one that follows, if you have minutes on your Sun position–that offers a more complete picture of your year ahead). What you love, your duties and obligations, loom large this year, Taurus, and you work hard to maintain and  respect that, and reap the benefits. This may sound usual, but your attention is so focused on these matters that you may not understand how significant these ‘statements’ about what you honor are. They serve as conduits of power–and you find out not just how far and deep your reach and personal authority extend, but who you are responsible for, and what your true place in Nature is, as well. It’s a year, through to your next birthday, for finding out who you are in your most powerful earthly guise; embrace it, accept it, and continue to keep your eye on what you find sacred–that’s where all the Love, Money, and other rewards lie.
