Taurus Weekly Horoscope

Warm up those spirit fingers! You’re eager to collaborate on a group project while the moon syncs up with Mercury, Mars and Neptune in Pisces through Wednesday the 13th. Take it upon yourself to get everyone excited about your collective potential. You may be charged with the task of motivating the team, and you shouldn’t be deterred by people’s initial skepticism or lukewarm responses. Sell it, Taurus! Paint a picture of the outcome you could create together. Having a clear plan—and one that you’re revved up about—will naturally inspire others to jump on board.

Still searching for your 2013 Valentine? Get online. Internet dating could serve up a potent surprise with this quartet of planets in your tech-friendly eleventh house. Since meeting for your first cup of coffee on V-Day is like, serious pressure, squeeze in an espresso date prior to Thursday. Who knows? You might feel enough of a spark to have Date No. 2 on the 14th.

The moon will be in Aries and your fantasy-fueled twelfth house on Valentine’s Day. Forget the ho-hum candlelight dinner. Take your date to an erotic poetry reading or dress-up party with a chocolate fondue fountain for dipping strawberries in…which you’ll naturally feed to each other in a most suggestive way. Warning (or perhaps not)! You will be a little boundary-challenged on Valentine’s Day, and a hot-and-heavy make-out sesh could go farther than you anticipated. Pay attention to your honey’s body language. Just because you’re comfortable with maudlin public sentiment and sloppy PDA doesn’t mean your date feels the same. Remember, this is a celebration of love, not The Taurus Show.

Or, if you’re the one feeling awkward and uncomfortable, speak up! Going along with something that doesn’t feel right to you is a relationship buzzkill. Trust your instincts and honor your boundaries, even if you’re worried you might hurt somebody’s feelings. It’s better than throwing yourself to the wolves!

Still processing a breakup? Have some sinister fun at an Anti-Valentine’s Day party. Laughter is the best medicine for healing your heart. The moon will hover in Taurus for most of the weekend, reviving your independent spirit. Pick up the reins on a stalled passion project and make sure your schedule includes plenty of “me time.” Taking a short weekend trip can revive your spirits too. Go visit a friend at her cute pied-a-terre, or check into a spa for a night and enjoy a mini solocation. If you’re spending time with others, take command of the plans. It’s OK to be a little bossy when the moon is in your sign!
