Taurus
The Bull: (April 20 — May 19)
There may be strife in any relationship with whom you share resources at this time. That could be concerning debts owed to you or vice-versa. If it is within a sexual relationship the issues may be played out through challenges in emotional intimacy, differences in values, or sexuality. Don’t play ego games here.
For All Signs: Multiple aspects involving Saturn this week suggest that the general mood of the week will be serious. At best the energies are productive, practical and businesslike. At worst we will be critical of ourselves and each other. Saturn represents the inner teacher and self discipline. Sometimes others play the role for us, pointing out our deficits or what needs to be improved. At other times we become our own self-critic, with a range of mental prodding to personal fanny kicking.
Aries: This is an excellent time to pursue any activity that requires your mental concentration. The Rams are not always able to sit still enough to learn theoretical information, but right now the energies are right. Go signals are given for contracts and written communications, along with short-distance travel.
Gemini: Concentrate on bringing integrity and honesty into everything you do at this time. If you attempt to get away with what you should not, you can bet someone, somewhere, will be watching and will report right away. Remain in the background for a couple more weeks for best results.
Cancer: Issues that have been brewing for awhile in your relationship(s) are coming to a turning point. You and another may be vying for emotional control. This can be very subtle and create long-term issues that occasionally explode to the surface. You know control is not satisfying. Look for ways to share equally.
Leo: Wow! You are juggling way too many balls in the air at one time, and it is all on center stage. Only the Lion could handle this balancing trick while appearing regal and in cool control. A project is coming to fruition now, along with the normal daily grind.
Virgo: Of all the signs, you are the hardest critic on yourself and sometimes others. The mind is made of jabbering monkeys and sometimes we cannot readily control its behavior. In such periods, it is useful to remember that you are not your mind and you do not have to believe everything it says, whether that is about you or others.
Libra: Changes may be occurring in your primary relationship. One or the other of you is probably trying to hang onto what is familiar. Growth must be allowed to happen or the relationship will become stale. Let things flow naturally.
Scorpio: There is a potential for becoming caught in ego games with a loved one. Any of the “games” will do, but this week’s aspect is particularly fond of playing “How much do you love me? Prove it.” You or the Other could be asking the question. Concentrate on that which is more authentic, such as, “I need reassurance.”
Sagittarius: Little niggling details are a nuisance in your path this week. “Don’t sweat the small stuff.” However, the bigger picture says that you are making headway and having good fortune in your business or educational pursuits. Activities involving travel or expansion beyond your normal territory are favored.
Capricorn: It seems that all the important things in your life fall into extreme categories of very good or very bad during this period. Please notice the lead paragraph because Saturn is your ruling planet. You might be overly critical of yourself or others this week.
Aquarius: Activities involving partnerships, clientele and significant others are going favorably at this time. Communication breakdowns are highly possible during this period, so make an effort to say what you mean and ask for feedback about what the other heard.
Pisces: Be very careful about your use of words in communications at this time. You might be misunderstood or you may have difficulty understanding someone else. Ignore gossip and do not participate, lest it turn around and bite you in August. Work and career life is favored. Past efforts are now rewarded.
