Taurus Horoscope for July 2016

This is a big monthly cycle for you, Taurus, especially if you are ready for some new life direction of an idealistic nature. The recent shift of Mars, your partnership sector ruler, to forward motion implies a changed atmosphere in the significant area of how you relate to significant others in your life. With Uranus also involved, there could be swift or perhaps unforeseen consequences that could yet prove to be extremely positive in the long run. Visionary planning must also yield to the nitty-gritty truth of your circumstances, but that does not make for setback so much as course adjustment. Your idealism remains, in muted form, as more appropriate to your renewed understanding of what you are actually up against. You are transforming in the very core of your being, and your surroundings, including your relationship connections, are changing as well, making for a better match.

You are poignantly caught up in the push-pull symbolized by Saturn and Neptune in dynamic alignment, which could be expressed in the contrast between the pressure of restricted circumstances and an almost naïve feeling of idealism that comes over you at times to be more allowing. You could experience both the desire to merge with another, and resistance to giving in. This applies to friendship as well as close relationship, and to groups that you favor, or causes that you espouse.
