Taurus The Bull (April 20-May 20)
An intense experience within a relationship has a purpose. You are asked to search deep inside yourself for your contribution to the difficulty, own it and confess it. Healing will be the result for you and probably the Other. It is a good time to address issues of power.
For All Signs: Venus in Aries is being hit upon by both Saturn and Pluto. This combination lends itself to manipulative tactics and lack of fair play in general. Political agreements may break down. We will continue to witness war and revolution in the news. On an individual level, situations and relationships that began in August/September are up for re-evaluation and possible overhaul. It is time to look at the overall quality and decide whether things are needing attention and repair. Maybe it is not worth the effort. In your own life situation, remain aware that the circumstances are playing a big role here. If things seem dark, maybe it is the political environment rather than the person who is the problem.
Aries: Relationships may feel intense and complicated at this time. You may sense some negative force at work. If this is so, look deeply inside for a hidden motive. Do you desire separation? Do you feel manipulated? If not, then attempt to engage the “other” in an open conversation about what you feel.
Gemini: It is easy this week to lose track of your primary intention and get caught up in sociability. If so, it wouldn’t be the worst thing that ever happened. Developments at work may seem confusing. Supervisors are somewhat evasive for reasons you cannot fathom. The next development occurs in early June.
Cancer: Your energy level is good. Positive outcomes related to your career or work in the world are reflecting well upon you. Almost anything you set out to accomplish is handled in unusually quick time. You have what it takes to be a warrior on behalf of yourself or others. People will listen to you.
Leo: Aspects particularly favor career and work life. You are in an effective position. Others agree with your guidance and leadership. A project begun near the new year is beginning to blossom now. At the very least you can see that it is on track to turn out well.
Virgo: A significant other in your life may be acting oddly or seeming secretive. This leaves you somewhat bewildered and confused. Ask. There may be nothing to it. On the other hand, if there is, the evidence will become more apparent in early June. You are more susceptible than usual to allergens.
Libra: You may be taking a sober look at one or more relationships. Even the very closest friends cannot know each other from the inside. Sometimes we forget this fact and need to become aware that we are actually separate beings, helping when we can. Sometimes our energy is too low to be there for one another.
Scorpio: You may be operating under a fear that things in your life will dissolve into chaos. Your immediate reaction is to clamp a lid on anything or anyone who seems out of order. It may be absolutely necessary in your situation, but be aware that suppressed energies will turn up later in the form of resentment.
Sagittarius: You are ready for an adventure. It may already have begun, but now you are clearly on target. Love life and romance have “go” signals and you can move forward without hesitation. You have plenty of energy and this is a joyful time in your life. Your spirits are high as a kite.
Capricorn: This is a good time to take an in-depth survey of your most important relationship. (This could also include observing yourself in relation to clientele.) Study yourself first and determine whether any harbored anger is causing you to sabotage the connection. Tackle whatever problems exist in a healthy, direct way.
Aquarius: Necessary expenses may develop this week. If not that, you could be just having a blue mood. It is one of those times when we become aware that our loved ones can never know or understand fully what is inside of us. This is an existential dilemma that everyone encounters now and then. It will pass quickly.
Pisces: Beware of impulse buys this week. You are too easily persuaded to purchase that which you don’t need or can’t really use. There is an old saying: “Don’t believe everything you think.” Take this one to heart right now. Your feelings and thoughts may be only projections of what you want to think. You might identify a piece of information as a truth, when indeed, it is merely your opinion.
