Welcome to Taurus season!
Taurus
Robin Eisenberg

Mercury enters gentle Taurus at 6:29 AM on Monday, April 19: With the planet of communication in this earth sign, we have more patience to see our conversations through to the end. People will be more rigid in their opinions and possibly more shy when it comes to beginning a conversation. Also on Monday, Taurus season begins as the sun enters Taurus at 4:33 PM! Taurus is the fixed earth sign of the zodiac, ruled by Venus. Beautiful things take time to create. In Taurus’s world, beauty manifests in real objects rather than passions or ideas.

On Thursday, April 22, Venus meets Uranus! Venus is at home in Taurus where it can be luxurious and indulgent, but when it connects with rebellious Uranus, these lush aesthetics take on a more unusual form. Look out for inventions in art and fashion, as well as some cryptocurrency news. On Friday, April 23, Mercury also meets Uranus. Mercury is the planet of commerce and communication, so make sure you have the correct address entered in whatever shipments you’re making.

On Saturday, April 24, Venus clashes with Saturn at 12:21 AM: This is a commitment set in stone, but it can also mean symptoms of cold feet if things don’t feel so secure. Whatever is not solid enough to support our desires is going to get a hard push down and collapse. Ephemeral beauty and frilly romance are only appealing if there’s something substantial enough to keep.

At 7:58 AM on Sunday, April 25 Mercury also clashes with Saturn, and there are a lot of rejections. A heavy mental atmosphere follows. People are not going to be so optimistic right now, but at least there will be some sense of redemption as Mercury meets with Venus at 6:19 PM on Sunday. While things are tough and slow, there is an ability to think about the better things that have weathered the storm.

All times ET.

Aries

After having so much to say these past few weeks, you feel a shift when the planet of communication leaves your sign. Mercury and the sun in Taurus will have you thinking more about what you need to sell or purchase in order to support your most immediate endeavors. There will be a lot of receipts and statements to mull through, and a newfound appreciation for what you already possess. You’re meeting challenges and taking steps to address long-term investments in your future as Venus and Mercury clash with Saturn, the planet of rules and restrictions. Whatever discipline you engage with now is going to pay off in the long run. While things might seem tough, you can still keep a positive mental attitude about the future as Mercury meets with sweet Venus. Talking with friends will help you remember the vision!

Capricorn

After spending so much time focused on your home life and taking initiative on all things domestic, it’s time for you to turn on cruise control.
