TAURUS – April 20 to May 20

The entire zodiac act as symbolic triggers or thought forms to energize themes and archetypal impulses. Often phenomena can be observed as part of these relationships.
Taurus the bull is often a time for moving into the sensory world with enjoyment. Just think of the story of Ferdinand the bull that enjoyed sitting under the tree smelling the flowers. Does that put you into the mood for this zodiac time?  Indeed! So, take time to check out the “new green”, bulbs and buds.
             Love making becomes amorous; however, tempers can be deepened with stubbornness. This is a great time to not fight and instead, make love.
           Massage therapists get ready for an upswing and boom. This is the time of the year that people especially seek massage and being touched.
           Since Taurus rules the throat look at neck issues and throat issues as symbolic of needing to speak up. Writers can find their voice but beware of resistance to explore new thought. 

Those lymph glands might need a little spring cleaning also. There could be a new strain of virus to protect against

This period starts out with a Grand Earth Trine, Full Moon and Moon at Apogee. I suspect that the temper side of Taurus the Bull could be problematic. Especially since Mars and Jupiter are in an opposition at the same time.

I can feel the Bull pawing the ground. Themes could stir anger and reactions with athletes and soldiers. With Saturn going direct in the first week of May themes of expertise and authority will set seeds for potential anxiety for many.

Since Taurus rules the 2nd house and themes of spending and earning money, this period could be a roller coaster ride for the economy.   

The 3rd sign of the zodiac takes its name from the Latin word for twins. In the mythology the primary association is of Pollux and Castor. These brothers were warriors and during a cattle-stealing adventure, Castor was slain.
           Pollux, the immortal brother, asked Zeus that either he might die also or his dead brother might share his immortality. Zeus allowed the brothers to alternate so that one spent a day in the underworld while the other was among the gods; on successive days they traded places.
         So, the Gemini period could have themes of alternating from the dark side to the brighter and livelier side of life. Choose the livelier and enjoy the outdoors.
           Other themes of Gemini are the mental prowess of invention, creativity and research. Writers could become successful with their research. Look in the science labs for inventive links that activate cures.
           Since Jupiter, Mercury and Neptune all go retrograde during this period we will need to review and edit our ideals, who we want to be aligned with and what we believe.
           Athletes will need to be extra careful with their limbs and we might see some changes in the line-ups for the Olympics (without political cause).

Monday the 26th of May is a day to mark on your calendars with Mercury and Neptune both going retrograde and in a trine. If you can spend the 25th, 26th, and 27th in a special “ivory tower” you could transcend the ordinary with your ideas. I anticipate pioneering ideas that are beneficial for humanity will emerge. True, we could become hesitant from the retrograde influence – but we could also go deeply inward to embrace an increase of intuitive thinking and knowing.

Dreams could become highly active and interesting. Best advice: Keep a dream journal and practice the approach of seeing all sides of a question before taking action.
