General overview (April 20 - May 20):

The time has come for you to start feeling the erratic energy of Uranus moving through your sign over the next 8 years (those with birthdays around the 21 – 24 April will more than likely feel it the strongest this year). 

Change is inevitable and you have been feeling the shifts and intensity for a while now, so the focus is to use this change constructively to shift out of ruts and comfort zones and take up the opportunities that present themselves to you.

But, remember -  you are the one that needs to make the first move. You cannot just sit on your couch and think things will just land in your lap. 

Set clear intentions, network, share and ask for what you need and you may be pleasantly surprised at how things can work once you have set the ball into motion. 

Love and relationships

Jupiter is moving through the area of relationships this year, providing opportunities to expand and to really understand the deeper patterns that may be restricting the natural flow. 

Change is the key word for Taureans in 2018, so whether you are entering a new relationship, working on maintaining a long term relationship or choosing to be single, the focus is about embracing the change and directing the energy forwards and upwards.

Are you still holding on too tightly to all that’s restricting your movements?

The key ingredients are for you to make the first move, ask for what you need and to quit waiting for that perfect moment or for someone else to make the first move. 

The full moon in your sign at the end of October could be quite significant. This could be a turning point in some way, whether it is a conscious choice or whether life throws in a curve ball to help trigger the movement that is needed to bring in the change.

Work and money

Saturn moves into the hard working sign of Capricorn, pushing you to focus on your foundation areas and to work methodically on expanding your circle. 

You may get the chance to up your game and take on new responsibilities that could benefit you further down the line. In other words put in the hard work now and you can start to see the rewards later.

Mars retrogrades around 26th June-28th August where you may get the chance to change direction or retrace your steps. 

The focus for 2018 is to be open to change and to find the courage and the confidence to ask for what you need even if it seems out of your reach. 

If you don't ask you will never know, and with the lucky planet Jupiter moving into Sagittarius in November you may get an amazing opportunity to explore or expand your horizons.

Visualise what you want and go for it. Financially the year may prove to have its fluctuations as the strong energy of Uranus will be creating global financial ups and downs which then affect all of us in some way. 

Be open to the changes and go with the flow as best as you can. Keep your eye on your goal and work methodically and steadily towards it.
