DAILY 
April 22-May 1
On April 20, the Sun moved into Taurus, and we are all things ‘earthy:’ sensuous, bull headed, stable, if not placid, creative, full of lovely song and dance, practical and desirous of being useful. The Practice is one of becoming conscious in our bodies, and of our bodies, of allowing sensuality and a sense of touch full rein. We are to belly-breathe, creating inhales and exhales full and rich to support the body as it roots down more deeply, not only into the earth but to standing strong. Taurus energy may be stubborn, but that stubborn streak is filled with creativity and desires to use that creative font toward practical ends, to make the earth a more beautiful and desirous place to inhabit.
This week grows out of the New Moon of the 18th. We have begun anew, and hopefully feel supported by the Aires New Moon energies of fiery go-get-em courage. A Taurus Sun, Mercury, and Mars balance the fire, offering stability to grow and tame the heightened mental machinations flying around this week. Our enthusiasms may overwhelm the over-large to-do list, but it’s a good time to take action on ideas that have been brewing. But as the Bull advises, keep it simple, keep it real.
With Pluto as an ally to Mars, our energy is in forward march, just be careful about the prisoners you take. You are determined, but be mindful of your strategy. Pay attention to new trajectories. Insure they can hold the necessary structure and timing that will be needed. At the weekend, re-adjust how you are prioritizing time and values, especially if part of you is resisting change. Take another look, and stop for a moment to calm the fearful parts within that are more anxious of upcoming shifts. Connect with like-minded others who support you as you journey toward the unknown.
