The spiritual life – especially the abstract variety – is generally not that important to a Taurus. Taurus is down to earth and practical. Taurus sees life on earth – even the mundane things – to be spiritual. (You’re probably right too!) You feel close to the Divine when you are physically comfortable and at ease. But over the past six or seven years this has begun to change. The spiritual life has not only been important but active and full of dynamic change. Very experimental. Very interesting. Uranus, ensconced in your 12th house has seen to that. Your career is partly responsible for this. In order to get to where you want to go, your spiritual understanding must increase. And, in many cases, people involved in your career are on a spiritual path and this has enhanced your interest. No matter, the Divine knows exactly what will attract you.

With Mars as your spiritual planet you like the path of action. You like to express your spiritual ideals in positive actions. Silent meditation is generally not for you. You like to be doing something – building an orphanage, hospital or church. Feeding hungry people. Doing practical acts of charity. Being there for someone in hospital. This tendency is even more pronounced these days and it’s very good. But along with this the Horoscope is indicating some scientific, intellectual background too. Uranus is the planet of science. A scientific approach to the spiritual life will not diminish your actions, but enhance them. You will know why you’re doing what you’re doing. Your faith will be buttressed by knowledge.

Uranus rules astrology. Astrology has a very strong spiritual basis to it. We call it esoteric astrology. It is a philosophy of the stars. Thus this is a valid spiritual path these days. Jnana yoga, hermetic science and kabbala would also be interesting. These are rational scientific approaches.

Uranus in your 12th house shows ‘spiritual experimentalism’. This has its good and bad points. On the positive side, you learn what path, what approach works for you through trial, error and observation – the scientific method. On the negative side it can make a person a ‘spiritual faddist’, running after the latest fads and trends, jumping from one to another. Spiritual progress takes persistence. If you jump around too quickly you only delay yourself.

The main challenge this year is integrating spirituality with a worldly career. Everyone finds their own personal solution to this. Some people opt for a spiritual-type career. They work for a charity or start a non-profit organization and work at it full time. Some people pursue a worldly career and start a non-profit business on the side. Some people get involved in charitable works while involved in a worldly career. You will find your solution for yourself. There are no rules about this.
