The Sun transits into Taurus this week, and for most of us this marks the start of a season of growth and progress. There is hope that this will lead to wonderful and beautiful things, that nature’s hard work is somehow done, so we can enjoy the flowers of spring.
With the Sun square Mars, there may be more pressing matters at hand, distracting us from beauty blooming right in front of us. With so much changing our very livelihoods, how can we pay attention to anything else?
Of course, that’s why we need to embrace the beauty around us. By no means should you stick your head in the sand and act as if daffodils and hyacinths will solve all the world’s problems, but take a walk, touch the grass, breathe some fresh air.
This is the season for realizing the world’s problems aren’t yours alone to solve.
ARIES
March 21 – April 19
Your need for self-expression is enhanced this week, giving you the confidence to step into the spotlight. Just be sure you’re showing off your best angles.
TAURUS
April 20 – May 20
While this week begins your month-long birthday celebration, it’s not all a party. Expect to struggle with your sense of purpose and confidence in your goals, aspirations, and finding the resources required to achieve them.
GEMINI
May 21 – June 20
Don’t let ambiguous or confusing relationships impede your drive for self-actualization. You have friends who can help you through. Don’t get hung up on the ones who aren’t really there to do that.
CANCER
June 21 – July 22
It’s not always the friends you make along the way who help you toward your goals. Sometimes it’s those who try to stop you that end up helping you in the long run. Choose your enemies wisely.
LEO
July 23 – Aug. 22
While it is tempting to do nothing but order unnecessary but beautiful things online, there are better uses of your time and resources. Don’t go overboard.
VIRGO
Aug. 23 – Sept. 22
The waning phase of anything can also be the transformation phase if you let it. While certain things come to their deserved conclusions this week, focus on how those changes can spark something new.
LIBRA
Sept. 23 – Oct. 22
Getting organized may feel like an uphill battle, especially without physical support. Get creative with your tactics to complete tedious and overwhelming projects.
SCORPIO
Oct. 23 – Nov. 21
Be out there with needs and you will soon see who is standing in your corner and who has ulterior motives. Some friends won’t lift a finger to support you. They’re probably not worth keeping around.
SAGITTARIUS
Nov. 22 – Dec. 21
Quick changes are happening for those around you while you are feeling like your progress has been halted. Not all change is for the better. Take it slow.
CAPRICORN
Dec. 22 – Jan. 19
Accept help from people you may not always agree with. Don’t let your personal feelings stand in the way of progress. If you do, you might regret it down the line.
AQUARIUS
Jan. 20 – Feb. 18
After you’ve given breath to your ideas comes the work of giving them form. Develop a routine and a community around an idea to bring it into reality. Ideas alone don’t change the world.
PISCES
Feb. 19 – March 20
You should be able to rely on your community for support, but you also need to be able to accept criticism coming from it. If you’re not willing to hear it, that’s on you. But if they’re not willing to give it, you’d better find friends who will.
