Mercury resides in Taurus until May 29, and a First Quarter Moon ushers in contemplation on May 21. Madame G recommends kicking back and enjoying the sun. Taurus’ influence remains vigilant and strong. Two themes will weigh supreme this week: grounded communication and common sense. Every good quality has a shadow. Appreciate the past but don’t get stuck.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Learning new things is always challenging. You become aware of your own shortcomings and potential problems. Instead of taking the easy way by ignoring the problematic, try flipping it around. When you look at something in a new way, very often a solution presents itself. Your way is merely one way of doing something. But, there are many. Who knows, it might be fun!
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
This week, friends, co-workers, family members, and maybe even people on the street will be intrigued by your energy. Don’t let it bother you. They’ll soon send their attention elsewhere and bother someone else. In the meantime, help out. If someone asks for advice, you may give it—if you believe in what you’re saying. If not, simply listen. In turn, you may need a friend some day.
Gemini (May 21-June 20)
All the leaves are brown, and the sky is gray… You may feel as if the something has leeched the light out of the world, but that’s merely perception. The sun is bright and Summer is here! You may find that the best way to get through the hardest part of low energy is by slowing down. Breathe deep and seek the company of a good friend. Don’t wallow alone. Everything is okay.
Cancer (June 21-July 22)
You may not know much. But, you know enough to know better. That’s okay. There is a difference between “knowing” and “understanding.” The choice is yours. You don’t have to learn from your mistakes. You will save time by doing this. Still, it’s your choice. In the end, it comes down to how much you’re willing to let your ego go to soar above the clouds.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
The clown always wears two faces. One is happy and free. The other is weepy and sad. Which one do you prefer? You might argue that the weepy one (might be) more honest. However, it’s our inability to let go of our pasts and the idea of our future that prevents us from being happy in the right here, right now. Treat others with respect in deed and action and enjoy other’s respect.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)
Life is not fair or kind. It’s also beautiful and amazing. These dual truths are hard to accept. We are so lucky to be alive right now, in this moment in time. The odds against our existence are astronomical. We are one out of nine billion on the planet. The strange coincidences that brought our ancestors together are profound and extraordinary. We’re a blip in time. Make it a good blip!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct.22)
So your heart is in the right place, what will you do next? It’s hard to tell someone that they’ve done wrong and it’s even harder when it’s yourself. But, when you make a mistake or make one of your employees feel uncomfortable it’s important to address this situation head on. Don’t start shifting blame to those around you just because you don’t want to face the music. You got this!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Decisions, decisions, decisions... Will you or won’t you? These are all very good problems to have. You have shifted to the higher life forms. When you spend your time running around in the dirt, squaring off against the fools around—just grin and bear it. Your eyes are on the very coveted prize. You’re looking ahead and making the right decisions. Keep moving forward.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
You can’t keep putting off the inevitable. Life will come at you like a freight train. It stops for no man. In case, you don’t know what to do just follow the long line of aggrieved people. You may have to apologize for your failures and move onward. Your greatest asset is your ability to shrug off the opinions of others. But, sometimes the ones around you are correct. Take action!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
You’re entitled to your truth. But, so is everybody else. You are not all knowing or judging. Stop and ask yourself why you think the way you do. Force yourself to look inward and question your own motivations. You can’t just keep doing the same thing over and over expecting different results. Only you have the power to change your life. You will or you won’t. It’s that simple.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
You wear your heart on the inside of your sleeve. It may not be hanging out there for the world to see, but it’s there for anyone who notices. Your emotions may feel beyond your comprehension, or beyond other human beings. Don’t let this get you down. Your sensitivity is an asset. Use your personality as a source for good in this world and reap the benefits.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20)
You may feel rattled this week, but don’t let it get you down. It should come as no surprise that you may have to stick to those you care for like glue. In the end, it all comes down to how you treat those around you. Creating a deep connection takes time. Don’t force something that isn’t really there and don’t shy away from the hard choices in life. Patience is a virtue.
