Taurus – a powerful conjunction of the planet Mercury which rules the lower logical mind and the planet Jupiter which rules the higher more abstract and philosophical mind are going to be together in your third house which is the house of the mind and the sign Cancer. This is going to bring some extra sensitivity to your mind because Mercury actually is very powerful in this house since it’s one of the houses that he rules but also because of the sign of Cancer. Jupiter is exalted in the sign of Cancer so that also brings some extra power here. What you’re going to have to do to take advantage of all this extra power is to open yourself not only the power of analysis which is Mercury but also the power of abstract thought which is Jupiter. This also can be a very psychic and intuitive combination of energy so how you take advantage is that you learn as much as you can about new things that you feel drawn to. What is attracting your attention? You may have an opportunity to travel because this is the house of travel and you may have an opportunity to take classes on things that you want learn. You may try to express yourself in different ways and more emotional ways than you have in the past, so don’t be afraid of your emotions. This is also the house that rules your close environment and family members, siblings and people that are close to you. You may find improvements and opportunities through all of those areas so do not be afraid to try new things to expand your mind and to express your ideas and thoughts. They may be very creative, very intuitive, and right on point.

Taurus – the second half of the month starts with a double whammy of excess energy we have Saturn conjunct Neptune in the 12th house. It’s the house of spirituality, the house of going behind the scenes, and of self undoing. You have to be careful not to hurt yourself in some manner but it’s also the house of prayer and meditation. It is squared to Jupiter in the sign of Cancer which makes it very sensitive so you’re going to have to keep your mind clear because your emotions might not be very clear. You might have some conflicts with people especially in your environment or even siblings. You also need to be careful to pay attention when you’re traveling or doing any type of communications cuz this is the house of communications as well. During this same time period Mars and Uranus are square. Mars is in the beginning of your fifth house of romance and creativity and Uranus is at the end of your first house. You’re going to have to be very careful the way you approach people and the way you approach pleasure. You may also have to be careful with children. They may be a little bit too rambunctious. This is a very quick reacting type of energy and it can upset other people or other people might try to upset you. Make sure you practice peace, otherwise you may cause some conflicts that you really don’t want. So the second half of the month has a lot of volatile energy in it, so do be a little bit careful, do take your time, and do develop your spiritual essence and your intuition. They will help you not hurt you.
