Taurus season begins as the sun enters earth sign Taurus at 10:24 PM on Tuesday, April 19. Taurus is the sign of beauty in physical form: Everyone is taking their time to enjoy life’s pleasures, especially the visually beautiful, sensual, manmade things!

Mercury clashes with moralistic Saturn on Sunday, April 24, at 9:49 PM, which might bring arguments based on principals and shifting understandings of law. New rules can be written. Agreements change based on a common belief. Communication is more forgiving, but potentially misleading. On Sunday, Mercury connects with dreamy Neptune at 6:37 PM, and the arguments that people make might be unrealistic, yet reveal something about their ideals. Double check that everyone is on the same page before moving forward with something permanent.

All times ET.
