THE SUN ENTERS TAURUS & SQUARES PLUTO:
On Thursday April 20th at 4:14 A.M. EDT we enter the fixed earth season. Spring will be in full bloom and people will tend to be more stubborn and set in their ways. Taurus is a very loyal and sensual sign. It likes “stuff”, including money, nice possessions, good food and a comfortable home. But most of that just makes the bull feel secure and stable. Taurus also need strong, solid relationships and its well-earned stubborn nature has as much to do with wanting to keep the status quo. They don’t really like change, and are known to stay the course through the most arduous challenges. You can rely on them to be there when needed, and to keep a solid footing. This month is an opportunity for us all to embrace that concept and to keep our aim steady and unbending. Mercury will retrograde tomorrow possibly throwing another monkey-wrench into the mix.
THE SUN SQUARES PLUTO:
On Thursday April 20th at 12:27 P.M. EDT this harsh energy will test us all. Expect others (and you) to be unyielding and demanding. What’s behind that attitude is what matters. Are you just being stubborn for effect or for ego, or are there things that you know you can change and are getting ready to roll up your sleeves and take on the task of putting those changes into play? The unyielding energy of Pluto and the relentless approach to your problems and issues will tend to add to the overwhelming Taurus energy and keep you on an unbending and obsessive road. The challenge is to be focused and clear in your choices while still keeping an open mind. If you can do that, this will be a very productive period. With Mercury about to retrograde for the next 3 weeks in Taurus it will be hard to redirect your footsteps. And Pluto’s influence will make it all that much more difficult.
