Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
Happy birthday, May-born Taureans! The Sun is cruising in your beautiful, earthy sign until May 20, beginning an exciting new yearly cycle and amplifying your natural, disarming confidence. Sure, you weren’t impervious to the screwball energies of April, but it’s a new day! Stability is over-rated—or it at least may be helpful to think that way around May 10 when a big full moon in Scorpio directly opposes your Sun and brings up feelings that you may not have expected. I’m not saying they’ll bad feelings, but just let go of the expectation of anything being too peaceful, or the cosmos will find a way to wake you up and have you smell the coffee.
All those gushy, non-linear aspects of life that you try so hard to avoid are just part of the plan this month so relax, let go, and enjoy some unplanned stimulus. Last month was all about action, but this month is more about emotional connection and really asking some larger questions. Anything that befriends the power of the unknown and the unconscious (Astrology? A metaphysical bookstore? Dream work?) will really help navigate you through this Walden-esque period of your life. On the May 16, busy-bee Mercury enters your pragmatic, get-back-to-business sign, with the beginning of the month suddenly feeling like a Lynchian montage. Not until the new moon on the 25th are you under any pressure to get your ducks in a row. Dream, dream, dream.
