Personal and Social Life in 2014

Are you hoping for a better year than previous ones, Taurus? This year, chances are you'll finally get your wish. On New Year's Day, Jupiter, planet of joy and happiness, will be in your sign, and will remain there for six months.

Jupiter usually foretells good fortune, and this could involve love, money, health, and many good friends - new and old. Taurus is a good-natured sign, and enjoys the company of friends, but this year, you'll have more to celebrate than is usual!

If part of your good fortune involves money, be careful not to spend it all in one place. Open an investment or savings account. Check out the stock market, but don't simply assume that money is your only gift from Jupiter.

You could run into a dear friend, you could decide to go on a trip, or you could start taking lessons of some kind. All of these have potential to lead to amazing developments. By the end of the year, you'll have more confidence, be more content with your life, and could be making ambitious plans for the future.

You're a sensual and passionate person as it is, Taurus, but as the New Year kicks off, you'll find yourself with an intense energy provided by the Sun, Jupiter, Pluto, and Capricorn. You're doing well on all counts, but these planetary combinations will probably be more intense and sensual than most others.

Your partner may wonder where all that passion has come from - and while he/she finds it a mystery, neither of you is going to object! You may not yet be aware of it, but the forces emanating from the planets are intensifying your strength, as well as that of your partner.

Fears and worries about money, your job, and other seemingly mundane matters will gradually decrease - and the less tense you are, the more romantic you and your partner can be. You'll talk more, laugh more, and enjoy being together more. By the end of 2014, you'll feel more aware, more light-hearted, and more amorous than you have for a long time.
