Aries & Aries Rising

As the Sun enters Taurus on April 19th, the spotlight swivels from you to the ways you find anchorage in the touchable, smellable world. Taurus corresponds to the part of your chart where money flows, where you collect treasures and trinkets and relish the tangibility of things. The Sun here will also reveal your own talents and resources, including the superpowers you’ve been nourishing, which offer tremendous value to those around you. Between April 30th and May 3rd, you will be asked to navigate these waters with greater care than usual, as the Sun’s conjunction with Uranus may send a rogue wave. It would be prudent to avoid major decision making around this time, especially concerning your income or assets. Use this moment for system-checks and corrections. The situation may feel constraining at first, but there’s a chance you can lean on these walls when you feel off-balance.

Taurus & Taurus Rising 

The Sun will swell into Taurus between April 19th and May 19th, beckoning forth any seed ideas you’ve been gestating over the past month. Seeds do a fair amount of their burgeoning beneath the soil, but the Sun in Taurus wants to shed light on you and your missions, whether you feel strictly ready for that visibility. Taurus is a sign that sets its own pace, but you may not have total control over timing come April 30th, when the Sun gnashes into a conjunction with Uranus. You’re likely no stranger to Uranus’ ripples and rebellions, as this planet has been residing in Taurus since 2018. Still, there’s a chance that any tension you’ve been holding may pimple to the surface now. Be honest with yourself about what you need and communicate those requirements to others. Certain potholes will get patched on their own, but it would be a mistake to dismiss them as unimportant. Finding balance between freedom and structure is a story you’re working out all year.

Gemini & Gemini Rising 

Between April 19th and May 19th, the Sun will pour into the most shrouded corner of your chart, revealing to you certain thoughts, feelings or signals that only emerge in private. This is a time to be protective of your space, to recognize that even if you’re physically alone in a room, sustaining fifteen simultaneous DM threads does not qualify as solo time. Around April 30th, you may experience a few bumps from places you don’t expect. Maybe an online troll will attempt to lure you down a rabbit hole, or you’ll be asked to face certain internal dragons. In either case, try to recognize how your body, mind and heart speak to you. Give yourself a break, in all senses. You’ll be better equipped to break through if you offer yourself a chance to recuperate your energy and resources.

Cancer & Cancer Rising

Starting April 19th, the Sun radiates in Taurus, spilling warmth on your friendships and wider community. New friendships may germinate, or you may discover the resources to nourish pre-existing connections. Turbulence may arrive around April 30th, when the Sun will join Uranus, highlighting everyone’s need for space. In a year where you are being asked to stretch the ways you collaborate, you may feel frayed around the edges, or sapped of your patience for certain social graces. It’s okay to say no. It’s okay to leave your phone on airplane mode. The emotional composting you do instinctively will only nourish your collaborations and the dreams you cradle for the wider collective. When you feel overwhelmed or wobbly, come back to the fixed earth qualities of Taurus. Sink your heels into dirt; cook something ambrosial (and share it with friends); accomplish a single, tangible task, like weeding, or organizing your desk.

Leo & Leo Rising

From April 19th - May 19th, the Sun will shine through Taurus, brightening your life’s work or vocation. Your career may be one area of life where you think tangibly and search for concrete measures of success. If so, the Sun’s passage through Taurus may offer you the affirmations or revelations you’re waiting for. This year, it’s likely you’ve been negotiating the tension between pursuing your singular path and accommodating the needs of other people. Even if you’ve been able to ignore this friction for a while, a situation may snag your attention around April 30th. What unfolds may surprise you; it may ruffle your lion mane. It’s also an integral step to balancing your commitments, yearnings and your urgency to shine. Your gold standard will always be a bit illustrious and regal. May you hold your partnerships and collaborations with equal esteem.

Virgo & Virgo Rising

The Sun blooms into Taurus on April 19th, amplifying any urges you’ve been nursing to expand your mind or other horizons. After a year in quarantine, you may be experiencing an insatiable travel itch. Alternatively, a wisdom tradition or spiritual path may beckon your attention, inspiring you to wander with your mind. To the extent you identify as a perpetual student or wanderer (and you can interpret these titles as broadly as you like), it’s likely you’ve nosed against some personal growth edges in the last three years. Such themes may be reactivated around April 30th, when the Sun crosses Uranus in Taurus, testing your comfort zone. Any limits you’ve imposed on yourself may be revealed now and radically redefined.

Libra & Libra Rising

The Sun will enter Taurus on April 19th, smearing light into the corners of your life you tend to keep guarded. This part of your chart serves as a storage trunk: possibly cobwebbed, but also a holding zone for all that you share with other people. That includes resources and wealth, but also secrets, baggage, emotions, and grief. These processes may feel less than smooth around April 30th, when the Sun will bump into Uranus, releasing unexpected ripples. If you’re invested in a collaboration, you or the other party may want to reimagine the initial arrangement. These pivots could feel unsaddling at first, as this is an area of your chart that normally remains constant. The negotiations that unfold should occur in the open, with everyone’s witnessing. The Taurus Sun will light a candle for these processes: in vigil, or to illuminate the path.

Scorpio & Scorpio Rising

While you may be someone who merges ecstatically with other people, the ways in which you partner could be surprisingly concrete. You may fall in love with someone else’s corporeality: wooed by their smell, their touch, their reassuring body heat or mass. In non-romantic collaborations, you may seek similar tangibility, your co-conspirators’ actions resounding much louder than their words. Since 2018, it’s likely the expectations you’ve cultivated in your commitments have been upturned or revised. Some of those themes may emerge, in gilded if all-revealing light, as the Sun joins Uranus on April 30th. Possibly you feel constrained by certain unions, or your partner does and that stirs an intimacy issue or two. The Sun will help you clarify the unsaid rules, even if drawing them into the well-lit or vocal realms feels decidedly unnerving.

Sagittarius & Sagittarius Rising

As the Sun moves into Taurus, you are called home to the tangible practices that help contain your wildfire. Between April 19th and May 19th, your wellness habits could offer one area of life where you actually relish a routine. Whether that’s dedicating hours to the garden, concocting herbal remedies, or moving in a way that feels mindful, there’s something vivifying about every minute you spend in conversation with your body. The same applies to your work practices and the systems you’ve implemented to facilitate a smoother flow. While these systems hold you up, and together, the structures could feel confining between April 30th and May 3rd. Rather than tear down the scaffolding you’ve worked so hard to construct, consider the micro ways you might exercise your freedom. Express your needs; delegate; take a day off; commune with your finned, furred or plumed companions. Find anchorage in the physical rituals that help you feel vital.

Capricorn & Capricorn Rising

Between April 19th and May 19th, the Sun in Taurus casts a lustral glow over your creative practices. This is a fertile time, where your grand designs will seek physical emergence. Alternatively, if you have children in your life, they may occupy a central focus. In all cases, you will be asked to prioritize feeling good. Get concrete about it: book a massage, or swap backrubs with your honey. Eat something exquisite, whatever that means for you. It may feel harder to have fun around April 30th and May 3rd, where an unforeseen variable disrupts the routine, or rains on your party. The clouds will part swiftly, but whatever tensions come to light at this time may link to a story you are living out all year. Take mental notes, but don’t get mired in blame games or other details.

Aquarius & Aquarius Rising

Matters of home and family are spotlit between April 19th and May 19th, as the Sun coasts into Taurus. If your abode feels like a construction-zone, or home office, you might use this month to reorganize. Center the items that make you feel snug or serene. Simple adjustments can change the mood in a room, such as adding a plush rug you find at a thrift store, or painting your walls a warmer shade. Equally, the Taurus Sun may spill light onto family dynamics that require some tending. These processes may feel easier said than done around April 30th, when a surprise event could flip the script. It’s likely you’ve been managing these undercurrents all year, if not longer. This is a reminder to practice elasticity. Structures aren’t necessarily stronger because they’re unmoveable or changeless.

Pisces & Pisces Rising

As the Sun rolls into Taurus between April 19th and May 19th, you may feel inspired to reconnect with siblings or other kindred souls, especially if it’s been a minute (or global pandemic) since you’ve seen them. This is also a season to tend to your writing or learning projects, which could feel extra generative right now. Expect detours around April 30th, when the Sun’s conjunction with Uranus will highlight the changes or volatility you have been managing in this area since 2018. You may feel restricted by a force you can’t identify, whether that’s your own self-imposed limits (or writers’ blocks), or some external structure. Whatever glitches are revealed at this time, they offer keys to understanding the wider story you are unfurling.
