2025 will be a year of plenty for you. December ends with a welcome mental breakthrough followed by improved legal and financial options. Until June 9, 2025 – that’s over the next six months – abundant Jupiter gifts you with funds. You’ll have more work and projects than you’ll know what to do with – and greater energy to carry them out, as well as those proper assistants to help! Accept and treasure those who come forward this year in your aid, for they have much to teach you. By the end of 2025, you will have many miracle mentors enter your life.
And now, this holiday season? Well, a sibling – or one who acts like your sibling – is driving you nuts, for one! But I’d say, this very moment, you still have to roll up your sleeves and finish things while you really want to escape and travel. Your ninth international house is exploding with positive planetary energy! And if you cannot travel literally, you want to in your mind, to expand your horizons, escape the rut.
For in your ninth house of overall expansion, you have:
Awesome, life-saving Sun
Brilliant Mercury, planet of thought and communications
Pallas, asteroid of wisdom and creativity
And an ambitious new Capricorn Moon on Monday, December 30
These are awesomely positive and powerful forces blessing you in the areas of the ninth house traditionally ruled by adventurous Sagittarius:
Travel
Anything international
People far away
Education
Mind Expansion
Broadened horizons
Everything far away, in your mind, and also in different countries and cities
Even outer space?
Foreign languages, cultures, and belief systems
Publishing
Academia
Schools
The Law
Mind opening and
Mind-blowing!
You have seen how different your life can be, and now it is becoming so. You may also be feeling ten times more rational that most of your friends. (You are more rational; have sympathy for us psychos!)
However comfy you may be in your lovely rut, you have too much going on in your ninth house of distant horizons and mind-expansion to stay, happy as a clam, in your shell. It can’t be helped. And it will be splendid for you!
If you simply have to stay close to home you will be trying out new classes, a different language, even new systems of belief. Wherever you are, your mind and soul will travel, and most probably, your cookies will be a little blown.
With the changes in yourself as a result. You will not be the same person when January is over.
Bluntly put, dear Taurus, you need some relief, and you need it fast.
Many of you will be ensconced with family at home. Merging with another. A new attitude will work wonders just as well as exotic travels. Your mind can do more than change your scene geographically. You are now strong enough and ambitious enough to do this. Apply yourself. As pressured as this recent time has been, remember you have faced much worse! Put your foot down with those around you. Set up fierce boundaries for yourself. This will be particularly important around and after Monday, January 6, when retrograde Mars enters your fourth house of family.
Ah yes, – what you need to watch out for this happy holiday season…
You could spend too much over the holidays – but what else is new? Lucky Jupiter which has been in retrograde turns direct in your second house of finances on Tuesday, February 4, and releases a lot of money into your life! Until June 9, 2025, that is. This will give you an intense feeling of relief.
But, until then, until February 23, watch all the short fuses around you. Mars is in retrograde!
Sexy Mars is traditionally the Roman god of war – Ares in the Ancient Greek – and it affects us ALL. Right now, Mars is in a particularly nasty retrograde, making everyone’s fuses extra short, making us impulsive, impatient, fiery, quick to offense (and to offend), and causing outright fights. Avoid confrontation during this retrograde. The retrograde can also make you tired, and you will require more rest. It began December 6 and lasts until February 23, 2025. Our environment is highly charged at this time, and you need to take extra good care of yourself. Take a breath before you speak or react – or post. Stay in peace.
Mars is closer to Earth when it retrogrades so its power is stronger on us. It is not as easy for arguments to blow over or for anger to subside. Mars reaches its peak in the cycle, which is its opposition with the Sun on January16, 2025, midway through the retrograde cycle when Mars is closest to Earth. It will feel like the world is on fire.
Full disclosure: I am most worried about Monday, January 6, an infamous anniversary for the U.S., when retrograde Mars will move into the country’s sun sign of Cancer. I am not looking forward to this day.
YOU need to watch out most for the full Moon of Monday, January 13 in your third house of communications, as this is when it will be easiest for you to lose your temper. This includes on the internet, as the third house rules, as well as siblings, cousins, and neighbors, the internet!

More No-Nos for January:
Do not hang onto the past. It’s time to move on with the new.
Taurus is the finest problem-solver there is next to Virgo but use your special gift a bit more selfishly right now.
Do not try to fix everybody else’s problems.
Do not give more than you receive!
And finally, look up and around you. Beyond the immediate circle of family that surrounds you, there’s the whole wide world. And you’re more desired in this whole wide world than you have been in, maybe, twelve years. Since 2012. What was going on in your life then?
Finally, some unexpectedly good news for your career after January 19 when the Sun enters your tenth most public house. Ceres, asteroid of nurturing, unconditional love and transitions, has already been nudging this forward, and Pluto this month abruptly brings the change, which will be sudden and sharp. Buckle your seatbelt, dear Taurus, for it will not be smooth. But it will be a wonderful step in establishing your legacy. Which you fully deserve after all your hard work.
P.S. Happy Holidays!
