Your Zodiac sign, also called your sun sign, is simply the position of the sun in your horoscope at the moment of your birth. The complete horoscope includes the planets, the astrological Houses, and the aspects between planets. That's a whole lot more.

     Therefore, predictions based only on your Zodiac sun sign can't be very precise. Still, they give some general clues, since the sun is almost as important in the horoscope as it is in the sky above us.

     It shows your situation and sentiment when you're not involved in other things, for example when you rest or are unoccupied by something special.

     A 2012 astrological prediction based only on what Zodiac sign your sun occupies can only be vague and incomplete. It may also be completely wrong, if other ingredients in your horoscope contradict it.

     For a full bodied and complete 2012 horoscope taking all horoscope ingredients into account, see my reading of the 2012 World horoscope here.

     Anyway, for your amusement – here are a few words about what the year might hold for you, based only on your sun sign. Take it for what it is.

Taurus 2012 Horoscope

In the 2012 New Year horoscope, Jupiter is in the beginning of Taurus. This shows that you will have a very eventful and prosperous year. Things go your way and you seem to get a lot of lucky breaks, especially when it comes to your economy and your general well-being.

     This is particularly true, from early this year, if you're born in April, but you will have this fortunate boost in your life somewhere in they year, depending on when in the Taurus period you're born. For most of you it's within the first six months. But it will have a fortunate influence all through the year for every Taurus.

     Jupiter is in an opposition aspect to Saturn in Libra, which means that the fortunate events this year are threatened by some heavy obligations you have towards all kinds of partners – in love as well as business and other fields. If you follow your duties, your luck seems to run out. If you go where opportunity leads you, you need to ignore certain duties. The choice is always difficult.

     These complications are the most troublesome in the beginning of the year, especially if you're born in April.

     The trine to Capricorn, where both Pluto and the sun are in the 2012 horoscope, shows that there are major changes going on in your social life that you benefit from. What happens is expected, so you are prepared and have few problems adapting to it. At good times, it seems that the whole world is developing towards your advantage.

     The square aspect to Aquarius and its planets Venus and Neptune, implies that you have some trouble adapting mentally and intellectually to your new situation, although it's beneficial to you. You need to learn and understand new things, a process that sometimes takes a lot of work. Don't worry – you will learn and you will adapt, it's just not always easy.
