Taurus February 2023

Delays for gratification have given you more endurance than you knew you had. (Never underestimate Taurus.) Now it’s all happening in your tenth most public house, your career and reputation house. With Jupiter recently moved into Aries, your twelfth house, your ideas are popping. The asteroid Vesta moves in to support Jupiter in this house Thursday, February 9 – until Tuesday, May 16. Vesta is the representation of the flame inside you, the one that gives you your spark of life. She is the inspiration inside you that keeps you going.

This placement also indicates that you need a lot of time for self-care, which is essential for your well-being now. And a project that’s been stalling will now able to go forward – with golden results – thanks to a wealth of planets in your public (tenth) house of career and success.

You have in here:

The energy and intention of the awesome Sun

The current Aquarius Moon

Your ruler Venus, planet of love and beauty

The brilliant communication and thought of Mercury after February 11

Stick-to-it Saturn of enduring legacy

These are awesomely positive and powerful forces blessing you in the areas of the tenth house traditionally ruled by achieving Capricorn:

Your career

Your life path

Your reputation

Professional recognition, acclaim

What You Are Known As

Your legacy

Your image

Awards, rewards, prizes

Ambition

Promotions

Honor, rank, and credit

What you are striving to be like

What you are aiming toward

People with power over you — bosses, corporations, etc.

Your attitude toward authority figures

And OFTEN — your MOTHER

Your best way forward is with wisdom rather than dominance. Personally, it’s time to forgive and let bygones be bygones.

In love, there is much happiness, but there are also some storms. A disagreement must be worked out with a partner. The answer? Fill your heart with love, Taurus. Know that you are loved. Do not act from fear nor from your bruised ego.

The only problem is…it’s very important that I’m honest with you, Taurus. Security matters, yes it does. But how long is a situation an abusive situation?

You must ponder this now as you ponder your future. Seriously. At the same time, this February your career and / or reputation takes off like a sky-rocket.

It will be an intensely creative time. A sacred time, I would say.

You can afford to spend some time alone now. Create behind the scenes. Except for the weekend of February 18-19. A new community contact / professional associate brings you a lucky tip then.

You are not going to miss your luck. I would expect a lucky break – or two!

Your planet Venus rules love and good looks, and as February gets truly underway you get the wings to fly with them again. (They’re always there; you’ve just been too distracted to enjoy them.) She blesses you particularly in groups and organizations. Makes sure you are part of one!

The only negative? Obligations may feel like sacrifices. (You give a lot to keep the peace.)

Your success in career is basically priceless this month. You have it made, dear Taurus.

Watch for a heavenly invitation to appear mid-month. New ideas and creations also have a funny way of popping up then. You are being called to participate in the world more, to perform more, and to show your love more truthfully. Love connections are already revealing good promise of this. The long chill some Bulls have felt for and from some loved ones is finally lifting.

You have lost some friends and you have had some harsh criticisms of you. You have also had it hard generally. Saturn doesn’t mess around and has a particular way of slamming you with hard realities when you are busy day-dreaming about your future, perfect life.

Your safety lies in public recognition now,Taurus, so concentrate on your career now, and leave personal drama behind. Especially about property matters or what’s going on at home. Explore outside the house. Particularly after February 11, when Mercury enters your tenth house of career and reputation.

You have felt a tornado of pressure there – you might say there was an underlying feeling of disappointment that you are not done sorting it all out – but the possibilities are endless! Go, Taurus, go!

One part of you wants to jump off into the deep blue unknown; another part of you wants to stay with the tried and true.

Your career is due for a fabulous rise, so please get going…

I know you hate to be pushed and I do apologize, dear Bull. It’s just that you make everything so much easier with foresight and good planning. You are the genius of planning ahead.

One of your gifts is the real joy you get from satisfying your to-do list. Whereas other signs don’t look far enough ahead to see consequences, YOU DO. Although you’re yearning for freedom from LOTS of friends right now — well, we’re being honest here, aren’t we? — just little, tiny communiqués will give you the freedom you need.

Which you haven’t had so much of recently. This is why this month will be a turning point in your life. If you ALLOW it to be. Just work on getting things done and follow up with your exercise and diet. Go back to old habits if they suit you. Nurturing Ceres goes retrograde here, in your sixth house, Thursday, February 2, bringing back the past.

Which leads me right into talking about this asteroid Ceres, currently trying to do its loving thing in your sixth house.

Ceres is all about nurturing – the nurturing you got when you were young, and the nurturing you give yourself now as an adult. Some of you didn’t receive very good training, and this month we look at how to make it better.

Even when you do well later in life, or have done well, it is hard for you to LET yourself do well. Or to believe it. If you lacked nurturing in a certain area, it’s harder to go forth to do it yourself later, when grownup.

It’s only challenging to learn new nurturing habits and behaviors – but it’s not impossible. It’s like anything else – you just need to do it DIFFERENTLY.

After this: No more the bitter waste of time you’ve been feeling in this area. You move on, happily, successfully – and much, much stronger.

Contracts DO work after mid-February. This is when you need to sign on the dotted line. To move forward with a new life. Proudly. (For you have done everything right.) And not look back.

Happy 2023, Awesome Taurus! I can’t wait to read you!

The snow is gone from cottage tops
The thatch moss glows in brighter green
And eves in quick succession drops Where grinning ides once hath been.
– February, John Clare

February is the dreariest month – except for Valentine’s Day, bang in the middle to bring us joy. And not only for sweethearts! For those of us who are alone, and more of us are, and by choice, than at any other time in human history, Valentine’s Day is about expressing your love. For your friends, for your fur babies, for your family, for – whomever, or whatever brings you love: express all of it! I believe we all have love in our hearts, and this is why I read you.

My job as astrologer / healer / palmist / psychic is to encourage and activate self-love, too. Very important: love YOURSELF on Valentine’s Day! Buy yourself flowers, take yourself to that movie / exhibit you’ve been dying to see, indulge in a luxurious bubble bath, treat yourself to a luscious dinner. Eat the ice cream. Why not? Love is love. It is good. It is the best.

The New York Times dubbed me “Love Guru” in a half page article they did on me in 1999. It was published on Valentine’s Day. Here it is if you’d like to read it.  https://madalynaslan.com/press/articles/the-new-york-times-article/

I still do this for clients, of course – everyone wants to know who their special person really is – but, as many of you already know, I cover everything else as well! (Viola, my lovely Virgo assistant, is waiting for your email…viola@madalynaslan.com.)

Giving you a heads up for next month. After 15 years, membership fees are finally increasing. The 2007 economy was a very different economy than 2023, as we are all experiencing. For the monthly, it’s notional – an increase of $1. This will take effect in March. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. Of course, you may opt out or cancel at any time.

YOUR DESTINY DAYS  Taurus Sun, Taurus Rising, and Taurus Jupiter, your destined times are:

(EST) Friday, January 27 after 6:42pm; all of Saturday, January 28; all of Sunday, January 29; until 3:35am on Monday, January 30; Friday, February 24 from 3:29am; all of Saturday, February 25; and Sunday, February 26 until 10:48am.
