According to Sandy

The 2nd sign of the Zodiac, Taurus, has the Bull as its symbol. – for a good reason. Often unwavering in beliefs, holding on after others have dropped the tug rope, just remember to “let go” when obstinacy is no longer useful. However, it is ruled by the lovely, romantic planet Venus, giving fixed, Earth sign Taurus several other ways to go. It can make us determined, practical and dependable, but it’s also a lover of beauty, good food and luxury. Loved ones are treated to poetry, music and gourmet restaurants, while getting a lecture on avoiding financial pot holes – nice mix.

For the next few weeks we can tap into those Taurean traits of strength and determination so that we solidify and complete the projects started during the high energy of the Aries Sun. Watch out for a tendency to be overcautious – don’t miss an opportunity out of fear or an unwillingness to move. Widen vision? Take a chance? Before the “no”, take another look.

Also, Uranus, planet of unexpected change and rejection of the status quo has been in Taurus since March 2019 and will remain until 2026. Don’t be surprised if there are sudden shifts in how finances are handled, how sensuality is expressed, how food is used, and how “luxury” is considered. “Change” is the operative word.

BTW – Uranus stays about 7 years in each sign, so it can have an impact.  Closer planets, like Venus, Mercury, Mars, transit for only a few months.

**As always, those most affected have the Sun and/or Rising sign in Taurus, but the rest of us will still feel the stable influences somewhere in our lives depending upon where the Earth sign appears in the birth chart.

The Sun slips into Taurus early on Wednesday April 20, 6:18AM Eastern/ 3:18AM Pacific. Second in line, but the first Earth sign of the zodiac, it is ruled by the sensual love and beauty planet Venus. However, it is also definitely practical in nature when it comes to finances due to an affinity for security. There is comfort to be found in beauty, music and art, but perhaps knowing where the money is too will give feelings of stability in unpredictable times.

The “Bull” is Taurus’ symbol for a reason – stubborn, unwavering in beliefs, will hold on after others have let go of the tug rope, etc.  For the next few weeks we can tap into these traits of strength and perseverance so that we solidify and complete the projects started during the high energy of the previous Aries Sun.

But, stay conscious, know when to let go of the rope. Sometime ya just gotta stop being the “stake” and shift to flexible. Beware of being rigid and overcautious – don’t miss out on an opportunity out of fear. Be practical, yet brave.  What a combo – Yay!

For the next few weeks we can tap into those Taurean traits of strength and determination so that we solidify and complete the projects started during the high energy of the Aries Sun.  Watch out for a tendency to be overcautious – don’t miss an opportunity out of fear. Security is attractive, especially in this financial climate, but, sometimes we have to give things a second look to see the advantage.

The “Bull” is Taurus’ symbol for a reason – stubborn, unwavering in beliefs, will hold on after others have let go of the tug rope, etc.  While Taureans are standing fast, they are also writing a little poetry for a loved one,  enjoying a gourmet meal in a romantic restaurant and checking the bill.
