So you wanna actually use Susan Miller’s Taurus horoscope, not just stare at it feeling confused? Been there. Here’s how I finally cracked it.
The Overwhelming Start
I opened Susan Miller’s site, clicked ‘Monthly Horoscope’, found Taurus. Bam! Wall of text. Planets, degrees, houses – it looked like rocket science instructions written in ancient Greek. My eyes kinda glazed over. I skimmed it fast, picked out words like “career opportunity” and “financial luck”, got briefly excited, then closed the tab. What the heck did any of it mean for me, next Tuesday? Felt totally useless.
Trying Again, Slower This Time
Next month rolled around. I promised myself I’d actually read the whole thing, not just scan. Clicked on Taurus again. Still dense. I decided to break it down:
- Skipped the Intro: Yeah, she talks about the overall month vibe first, but I needed specifics. Went straight to the sections – you know, like ‘Love’, ‘Career’, ‘Money’. Those headings are your lifeline.
- Highlighted Dates: I grabbed a physical calendar. As I read each section, I wrote down any date she mentioned right next to it. “Good for contracts around the 12th” went onto the 12th in big letters. “Watch spending after the 20th” – scribbled that on the 20th. Seeing it blocked on the calendar made it real.
- Actions Not Vibes: I stopped getting hung up on the “Mars in the 3rd House” stuff. Instead, I hunted for actionable words. When she said “best days for communication are the 4th and 5th”, I underlined that. When she said “avoid signing contracts the first week”, I circled it. If I couldn’t figure out what to do from a paragraph, I moved on. Not every bit needs decoding.
- Summarized Each Section: After reading ‘Career’, I scribbled in my notebook: “Career: Pitch ideas 4-5th. Be visible mid-month (18-20ish). Boss talks late month – be prepared.” Just a few bullet points per topic.
Actually Using It This Month
With my messy calendar and ugly bullet points, it was time to see if it helped.
- I delayed asking for that contract review until the 12th like she suggested. Result? Boss actually seemed receptive for once! Coincidence? Maybe. But felt good.
- Saw her warning about tech glitches around the 15th. Was extra paranoid backing up my work that week. Good thing too – laptop had a mini-meltdown on the 17th. Lost nada. Dodged a bullet.
- She mentioned unexpected news mid-month. On the 16th, an old client suddenly called with a freelance gig I wasn’t expecting. Not life-changing money, but nice surprise!
What Finally Clicked
Don’t treat it like a novel or pure prediction. Think of it like a weather report for your life. The forecast might say “chance of rain Thursday, bring umbrella.” You wouldn’t just ignore it. Susan Miller points out potential good days for talking, signing stuff, dealing with people, or warnings like “avoid big purchases.” You don’t have to understand why it’s raining on Thursday (looking at you, Venus retrograde!), just that carrying the umbrella (or delaying that purchase) might be smart. Grab the dates and actions, skip the cosmic algebra unless you’re really into that. Started doing this, and suddenly her long-ass horoscopes became kinda… useful? Weird.
