Last year, 2012, was basically a good year. The long-term planets were not stressing you out and were mostly friendly towards you. Health should have been good and overall energy was basically high. However, late in the year, in October, Saturn moved into Libra and into stressful alignment with you. Those of you born early in the sign of Taurus - from April 20 to May 5 - are feeling this most strongly. Those of you born later in the sign are feeling it now but will feel it more intensely in 2013. So, there is more resistance now. This stress is not enough to cause failure, but it does slow you down a bit. Your energy needs to be watched and there is more resistance to your goals.

Current marriages or serious kinds of relationships are getting a good testing; business partnerships too. In general there is less social activity in the year ahead.

Your social sphere, your friendships are getting spiritualized and more refined. You will be attracting more spiritual types into your life as a result. Taureans are basically traditional, conservative people, but not in spiritual matters now.

You are experimental arid scientific now. You are changing teachers, regimes and practices, probably multiple times. Those of you who have never been involved in spirituality will probably get involved this year or in coming years. Those of you already on the path will be changing that path. There is much ferment and upheaval in this area of life. There is also much upheaval in charitable or altruistic organizations that you are involved with.

Your most important areas of interest this year are finance (until June 27); communication and intellectual interests (from June 27 onwards); love and social activities; religion, philosophy, foreign travel and higher education; friends, groups, group activities, organizations; and spirituality.

Your paths of greatest fulfillment will be finance (until June 27); communication and intellectual interests (after June 27); love, romance and social activities.
