TAURUS
April 20 - May 20

You will definitely have a much easier time of it in 2001 than you had in the late `90s. All those difficult choices - to stay in this podunk neighborhood, or move to more meaningful streets - behind you. That relationship where you felt taken advantage of? You're not putting up with any crap now, are you? And that big risk that obsessed you last year that felt resolved last summer? So beyond it you are. (Geez, why am I writing in a parody of time-speak, so brilliantly parodied by Wolcott Gibbs in his famous profile on Taurean Henry Luce - "Backwards ran the sentences until reeled the mind.")

2001 at a glance: January to mid-February - you won't hit the bull's eye, but folks won't see the one on your forehead. Late spring, you finally tie up loose ends for all kinds of projects that went astray last summer and fall. Birthday month and beyond - those fire sign folks (and the air signs, especially Gemini) just won't leave you alone, will they? September through October - get serious about security issues, and anything you fight for is worth it. End of the year, more obstruction, and more difficult choices. Is that a trapeze swinging towards you, or just another eyelash caught on your conjunctiva.

January 1 through 3, you'll need to be patient with the outspoken folks who talk too loudly, while January 4 and 5, the moon is in your sun sign. This always heightens your emotional response, though this isn't a time to force Aquarius and Leo into guilt feelings (yeah-right). January 6 and 7 would be good for therapy or any exercise where you have to string words together and analyze later. January 8 and 9 are excellent for interaction with others, although your water sign friends may be a little too grateful. January 10 and 11 aren't your best days for dealing with others - rudeness prevails, while January 12 and 13 are really useful for organizing small groups, or taking your time with the tedious bits you'd rather forget. January 14 and 15 could be good for promotion activities, but partnership issues could be wobbly. This will definitely be true for January 16 (superweird) through January 18. Everything will need to be spelled out then, and misunderstanding rules. January 19 and 20, be spontaneous - all the plans will be improved if you change some small aspect. January 21 and 22 could find others depressed, but you'll have the "constructive" solution. Still - don't rush anything from then through the new moon on January 24. If someone's going out on a limb, let them. January 26 and 27, your sensitivity may be reawakened, while January 28 through the end of the month is useful for putting the pieces back together. The moon returns to your sun sign on January 31.
