Your spiritual life has been important for some years now. Your career planet Uranus is in your spiritual 12th house and in many cases Taureans are opting for a spiritual-type career, working to balance that with the normal material concerns. In other cases, the spiritual life, the spiritual practice is the career. It is the most important thing these days, the mission in life.

Uranus in the 12th house shows much change, fermentation and experimentation in the spiritual life. Many are running from one teaching to the next, from one teacher to the next, from one practice to the next in search of the path that works for them. The danger here is ‘faddishness’. It is great to be experimental and to try out different things, but more homework should be done. The fact that something is new and hot – popular – doesn’t necessarily mean that it is good. This kind of attitude can set back your spiritual progress for years. On the other hand, experimentation often leads to new knowledge and insight. It’s a mixed blessing.

Uranus in your 12th house suggests that you benefit most from a scientific approach to the spiritual practice. There is a deep and beautiful science behind all these strange and mysterious practices and teachings. It is good to understand this as it will enhance both your faith and your practice. Faith is very important in spiritual practice, and when it is bolstered by scientific understanding the practice will go better. Taureans are down-to-earth, practical people. So, letting go of evidence-before-your-eyes-based thinking and ideas is quite a challenge. This is another reason why the scientific approach will help you.

Uranus in the 12th house brings much ferment and change on its own. But this year, your spiritual planet, Mars, is more erratic in his motion than normal. He will be retrograde (which only happens once every two years) from April 17 to June 29. Then, for almost three months, from August 9 to October 30 he will be ‘out of bounds’. The retrograde period of Mars will be good for reviewing your spiritual life and seeing where improvements can be made. Intuitions and dreams need more time to be deciphered and digested. Intuition needs more verification during this period. When Mars is ‘out of bounds’ it shows that you’re going outside your normal sphere in search for spiritual truths. You’re moving outside your ‘box’.

With all this upheaval going on it is good that Neptune is in your 11th house of friends. This shows that you’re attracting spiritual kinds of friends – and you need this now – to keep your practice stable.

All this spiritual activity and growth is challenging your personal religion and philosophy of life. This whole area is getting reformed. It is dying and will be reborn in a new and better form. It is wonderful when old and false beliefs die. These have been the cause of many of your problems. But, good though it is, it’s not that pleasant while it’s happening.
