Taurus The Bull (Apr. 20 – May 19)
You may be discouraged or feel somewhat overwhelmed as the week begins. Your energy level and possibly your attitude will be droopy through the 7th. Take some extra time to sleep. This is a temporary downer and should not be taken too seriously.
For All Signs There are several classic cosmic aspects in the sky this week that represent the potential for accidents, explosive anger, and general irritability. If we use these forces to best advantage, we will tackle major projects that require a lot of physical energy. The mix of planets calls for controlled force, such as that which would be used when deliberately collapsing a building. Double check every element of a mechanical activity twice and concentrate on accuracy. Drive with care.
Aries Take special note of the lead paragraph, Rams, because it particularly applies to you. Adopt an attitude of docility and avoid any situation that appears to lead toward battle. If you indulge your ego in a fray now, you will ultimately regret it.
Gemini A financial issue may pressure you to ponder your true feelings very carefully. The Twins are great thinkers, but it is a challenge to know your feelings. You may believe you feel differently every day, but the truth is the feeling remains the same.
Cancer A significant project related to your career or life direction is arriving at a critical turning point. It may require all the ingenuity and concentration you have to bring it to fruition. Avoid legal activities, travel, and publishing at this time.
Leo This week may bring disappointments concerning partners, contracts, or resources that you expected to share with others. Initiatives in these areas that began in early February are particularly subject to revision at this time. Your energy level is going through a short low cycle.
Virgo This is an incredibly busy week, so find your running shoes and don’t bother to take them off at night. You may be speaking in depth with a partner or someone with whom you share resources. It is possible there is a previous misunderstanding which needs clarification now.
Libra Early in the week you are excited about sharing yourself with another. There may be interference in activities concerning loans, debts, or investments. Beginning on the 10th your ruling planet throws favorable light onto legal, educational, ethical, and publishing interests.
Scorpio Give particular attention to the lead paragraph. The most likely territory for potentially explosive anger is in the arenas of lovers and children. Vehicles and/or other machinery may break and require attention. Hold the explosive feelings until they have time to settle.
Sagittarius Your desire to expand territory in any direction is thwarted by factors that are beyond your control. Home and family concerns may interfere with social life or community building activities. This is frustrating, but temporary. Meanwhile romance and creativity continue to be strong.
Capricorn Now is the time to work on a mental project that requires more than normal concentration. Even as you do so, there will probably be frequent interruptions by people or circumstances in your environment. Do the best you can to set clear boundaries.
Aquarius Circumstances beyond your control delay or postpone activities involving travel, the law, education, and publishing. Give this aspect a couple of weeks to move out before you try again. You may be prone to see everything through a dark colored lens. Remember that the light will return.
Pisces You have so many things on your mind and so much to do that it could look like you are running a circus. It will be very easy to lose your temper because you are racing and others will not or cannot cooperate at your pace. You probably need to work alone this week for best results.
