HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAURUS!!
This months starts off with Venus moving into its home sign of Taurus on April 29. Venus is the planet of love, sociableness, money, values, and overall enjoying life. What you like is represented by your Venus sign. The theme for this month is simplicity and integration. Take time to enjoy life. Venus also rules art, so practice, write, paint, or anything that feeds your aesthetic soul. This is also an excellent time to tell others how much you appreciate them. This is a time to slow down, focus, integrate, and choose one or two things we want to achieve. This is Taurus season, so be aware of the beauty of what life gives us.
From April 29-May 3 Venus is squaring Pluto. Pluto is an intensifier, and can bring out the shadow side. There may be feelings of insecurity, but most importantly, focus on your self-esteem. Don’t fall prey to self-doubt. On a positive note, Venus square Pluto can give commitment to making things happen for yourself. Think about what you want; Taurus is an energy of manifestation. Through pacing the self, knowing your value, and putting ideas together in a systemized way you can create magic!!
Mars has entered its home sign of Aries on April 30. It will be in Aries until June 10. Mars is the assertive force, giving the energy to go out there and get what you want in order to feed your Sun’s purpose. Mars in Aries is dynamic, straightforward, fast, enthusiastic, impatient, and wants to make a bee line for its goals. Mercury is also direct in Aries, which is honest, straightforward, and potentially rash with its communication. With all the energy and wanting to go for it, keep the Taurus word in mind: Productivity. Taurus knows that everything has a period of gestation, and no work can be accomplished before its time. So at best, Aries gives the energy to tackle and want to accomplish goals, and Taurus gives the staying power to achieve them.
The new moon in Taurus occurs on May 7 at 10:22 CDT. New moons are beginnings, so set your intent. Taurus is a fertile sign, and is at home with the earth. Anything important you want to accomplish can bear fruit at this time, and remember to do your affirmations of well-being.
