The Sun enters Taurus this week in the 8th House of Sex, Death, and Other People’s Money. Whether you are mourning the death of loved ones or the demise of your love life on lockdown — all the while awaiting economic relief — remember the universal principle of renewal, summed up tidily in the phrase “April showers bring May flowers.” Transcending suffering requires determination, like the persistent lotus that rises from mud. The Sun’s conjunction with Uranus, however, incites rebellion against imposed norms. Instead of endangering others, find a healthy hobby … like online yoga.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
With ruler Mars in the 5th House of Expression, your romantic side is given a dash of zest. Wear red, be playful, but avoid overexpressing yourself to the point of being dramatic. It’s a bed, not a stage.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
Venus in the 9th House of Travel & Wisdom inspires you to expand your horizons. While a foreign excursion may be out of the question for now, you might be into exploring the world one takeout meal at a time
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
You may find yourself giving more advice than usual with ruler Mercury in the 7th House of Relationship. While your gift of gab easily translates to helping others make peace, can you arbitrate for the voices in your own head?
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
The New Moon in the 8th House reveals your more intimate side, empowering you to expose yourself, so to speak. In terms of finances, you may consider planning ahead. A penny saved is a penny earned.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
With your ruler, the Sun, in the 8th House, the time for change is nigh. Focus on just one intimate partner, learn how to budget, and rid yourself of any habits that undermine your true power. Step back, dive deep.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
Although you love to be right — and usually, mostly, are — now is the time to make peace with anyone you’ve wronged, while ruler Mercury is in the 7th House of Relationship. It’s a two-way street.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Ruler Venus in the 9th House of Travel & Wisdom has you salivating for other cultures. If that applies to your dating life, find someone who will share the adventure with you, and try not to get lost in translation.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Personal changes are well under way with ruler Pluto’s lengthy transit of the 4th House of Home and Family. Be aware of issues from your childhood that keep popping up, and nip them in the bud with a hug.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
With ruler Jupiter transiting the 4th House of Home and Family, you’re likely to be enjoying your lockdown with your loved ones. Contentment is the greatest form of wealth. Share the love.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Ruler Saturn in the 5th House of Expression tests your self-love. Put the best of you to work during this period and reward yourself with genuine pride. You don’t need anyone’s approval.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
Uncertainty surrounds both pleasure and money with ruler Uranus in the 8th House of All Things Intense. Try not to rely on others for support right now. Pursue happiness with a closed purse
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
Ruler Neptune in the 6th House of Wellness may make it challenging to stick to a routine. The added stress from global events may not help, either. Instead of self-medicating, try meditating on the self.
