With Pluto moving out of Sagittarius where it has been for the last thirteen years and into Capricorn on November 26th 2008, where it will stay for the next sixteen years, many Taureans will be breathing a huge sigh of relief. This has been quite a stressful time for Taurus and you have had to deal with many upheavals and changes. Now that Pluto is in an Earth sign like Taurus, you will find that you will feel less stressed. Pluto is moving into your ninth house which rules education, international matters, legal affairs, teaching and publishing. All these areas could come under the spotlight during this next Pluto cycle. You will be expanding your horizons and could very well take up a deeper course of study or research something spiritual that appeals to you. Your challenge this year is to be more realistic and practical in all aspects of your life. When you are focused and full of energy, you are able to accomplish wonderful things. You are inspired and you can start new projects that will lead to success, as long as you stay the course and do not entertain too many unrealistic thoughts that detract from this purpose. Overall it will be a good year for Taureans with plenty of opportunities for success. However, it also appears to be a year of distractions and fantasies. You are advised to shake them off, and set your sights upon the attainable and real.

Jupiter moved into Aquarius on January 5th 2009 and is transiting your tenth house. It stays there for the next year, so this is an excellent time to expand your career. You may want to change jobs or to explore new avenues. Neptune aligns with Jupiter in your tenth house during this year, so you may well find success and expansion to go after your career dreams. With Neptune in your tenth house, you may find that you are fantasising about your career ambitions and may be setting yourself up for disappointment. If you live in the now, you will be all right as you will exude plenty of charisma this year, but you must assess carefully the people who come into your life at this time. The North Node is in Aquarius from 2008 until August 2009 – so you will have the destiny pull of the North Node with Neptune in your tenth house of career. This is likely to open up many doors for you, especially in February and August.
