YOUR 2003 FORECAST
This year packs a lucky wallop for you, Taurean! Much of what worried you last year fades away as you're renewed with hope and optimism!

MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT

Don't be surprised if you start off the year insisting to yourself that you will never be truly happy. Blame your dreary attitude on another messy-but-temporary Mercury retrograde, from January 2 to the 23. Fortunately, things will start looking up soon. (If you're eating nonstop in the meantime to make yourself feel better, stop!) By mid-February, you kick a great fitness program into high gear. Suddenly you're smiling again.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS

Blessings flow your way as love pours in from every direction. Were you thinking that your family and friends didn't really love you? Wrong! On March 11, when Uranus enters Pisces, you realize that the world is a gentler, kinder place than you previously thought. Domestic challenges fade into the background, and issues with friends also happily diminish.

LOVE AND ROMANCE

What looks like a very promising romantic relationship may leave you feeling pressured to make a commitment. Be aware, though, that the eclipse on May 15 in your opposite sign of Scorpio could cause you to want to back out of this relationship. Hang in there and try to coast through the troublesome feelings until June 1. You would also be wise to avoid making romantic commitments around the time of the lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 8.

CAREER, MONEY AND MORE

Great success is possible for you this year! You have worked long and hard for the past three years, and it's time for a hearty payback. The most promising periods for financial success are the months of February, June and September. Try to avoid signing contracts during the Mercury retrograde from April 26 to May 20, and around the time of the lunar eclipse in Taurus on November 8.
