TAURUS APRIL 21ST TO MAY 22ND

Career
No matter what your aims and aspirations have been, you are sure to see a widening of your horizons in the year ahead. Provided you've done the necessary groundwork and are sure of your own credentials, then you'll find yourself in a position of strength when it comes to exploiting - and creating - the right opportunities. Although there may be an awkward decision looming around the 9th, it seems that you are being steered in the right direction and will know what it is you should do. You feel confident that past efforts are on course for success.
Swift-footed Mercury rides high in your chart most of the month and joins forces with Neptune on the 23rd. It's a combination of common sense and pure inspiration that seems to provide you with the key to success around this time. Try to think outside your usual conventional box if applying for a job, negotiating a career change or discussing your aims with other people.
Think outside the box when applying for a new job or going for a promotion.

Love
Single What seemed rather hazy in the final months of 2007 is likely to zoom into clearer focus early in the New Year faster than the speed of light. What this means is that you'll be in a position to judge whether or not someone you're attracted to is either leading you round in circles or is simply rather shy. Transformations are taking shape and after a phase of relative stagnation the situation is about to undergo a rebirth. You will both feel better when the situation becomes clear.
Couple Feelings are liable to fluctuate unpredictably during the early stages of the New Year. You're the kind of person who instinctively seeks security in and through a relationship, but there are times when certain adjustments need to be made. Just when you feel all is settled, a minor difference of opinion around the 12th could dredge up a lot of unexpected disagreements. Possessiveness may become the big issue.
Any grey areas around a new partner will become nice and clear.

Money
If one of your New Year resolutions is to get your financial portfolio in a better working condition, then don't expect any instant results. It's not until the end of January that a more positive trend kicks in, but in the meantime you could do much to prepare the ground for future objectives. The fact is that demand on your resources will continue on the heavy side and there'll be times when you might find yourself stretched to the limit. A potential crisis date is the 19th, but from then on you will definitely begin to get a firmer handle on your personal budget. The main thing is - don't panic! It will definitely work itself out.
Stay calm if finances are a bit bumpy at first, everything will be nice and settled by the end of January.
