Georgia Nicols' Taurus Forecast for 2008

Introduuuucing - 2008!!

The New Year Begins

If you can start this year traveling somewhere - anywhere - (especially for pleasure) you'll love it. In January, you're keen to learn new things and discover more about life. Relationships are cozy; and the wealth of others continues to benefit you. (Hey - this sounds good! You like good food, good wine, good sex and a nice place to live.) After a nice long massage, you love to wrap yourself in cash.

By February, bosses, parents, teachers and VIPs really notice you. Dress sharp. People are so impressed with you, you'll be given increased responsibilities. Don't worry -- piece of cake! Opportunities to travel still exist, along with exciting possibilities in higher education, publishing, the media, medicine and the law. (I'm liking this.) It's an adventurous way to begin your new year.

By March, you're schmoozing with pals and joining clubs and organizations. You're enjoying the company of others and vice versa. You might take a class or join something. Some will develop a crush on a boss or someone richer. (This certainly gives new meaning to "office supplies.")

It's easy to get people's respect now. When you speak -- they listen! And you do want to speak up about something.

Spring is Sprung

You want to hunker down a bit in April, but friends won't let you. Everyone wants to see your face. Oy vey. The price of being loved. New friends will enter your life now; nevertheless, you maintain the desire to work behind the scenes or work alone. You know your birthday is approaching, and this makes you thoughtful as you ponder what your new year should be all about. After all, who's driving this train anyway? You're the conductor.

By May, you're out there flying your colours. It's your birthday! With the Sun in your sign you easily attract opportunities and people to you. Secret love affairs might be bubbling away. (Sex is a gripping experience.) But the good news is money disputes and disagreements about shared property, inheritances, insurance matters and the like are either settled or starting to fade from the picture. (Thank gawd!) You feel strong now. Your communications with others are direct, forthright and confident. (Most of you have wonderful voices because Taurus rules the throat.) It's a busy time!

June is all about money, money, money. You're doing some serious spending. You're shopping for beautiful things for yourself and loved ones. And at a deeper level, you're giving thought to your value system. You want to know what's important because you don't want to put your money on the wrong horse. Chaos and increased activity at home due to visiting guests, renovations or possible moves are likely. Be patient with family members. (They're here for the duration.)

Salad Days of Summer

Summer is going to be busy! And it's going to be fun. You have a strong desire to talk to others and enlighten them about something. You're running around taking short trips, doing lots of errands, talking to people and enjoying time with siblings and relatives. You're full of moneymaking ideas, and possibly discovering another source of income. Home continues to be chaotic and active.

Finally, you get some time to kick back and relax out on your deck with a pitcher of sangria. You'll enjoy entertaining at home, inviting people for barbecues or a dip in your pool (if you're so lucky.) Family discussions are rewarding. You're proud of your home. Buy antiques and beautiful things to enhance your digs. Home is where the art is.

Back to School

In September, you're ready to work hard and get good results for what you're doing. Your standards are high, and if possible you're delegating and telling others what to do. Plus, you've got lots of bright new ideas about your job. You're really into planning, and doing things perfectly. You might be polishing some special techniques.

And you're also getting more thought to your health. Drink water! (Highly recommended.)

But this month is a mixed bag because midst all this productive activity, you want to party! You want to have fun. And so you shall. What is most important to you now is maintaining your freedom to be able to do your own thing without fear or apology. You feel lighthearted and playful. Time spent with children will be rewarding and fun. Your creative juices are flowing. Shun that keyboard - a user and his leisure time are soon parted.

Freeze That Frame

Now the Sun is directly across from you drawing your focus to close friendships and partnerships. For some reason, you're wrapped up with someone else. (Professionally or intimately.) And yet at the same time, because of Mars opposes you as well, someone is contesting whatever you do or say. The gloves are off!

Fortunately, the wealth of others will come your way. Intimate moments are just as sensuous and sensational as you can make them. And believe me, as the most sensuous sign in the zodiac (you ripe, juicy peach) you know how to make them! (It's easy to make a friend. What's harder to make is a stranger.)

Be moderate where pleasure is concerned: avoid fatigue. Practice safe eating: use condiments.

In December, your passion deepens. (What! More?) Conflict about shared property, and disputes about inheritances, insurance matters, taxes and debt are likely. If you're lucky, you'll let Venus talk you into taking a trip. Be a snowbird if you can. Or take a cruise. A cruise is the perfect Taurus holiday because food is an important part of your diet.
