Happy birthday, Taurus!
Anyone born this week will pick up some of the humor and joy that often surrounds the next sign of the Zodiac, Gemini.
A Venus-ruled Taurus born this week will certainly be practical and love digging in the dirt, but they also will love a good story and have a keen sense of humor.
The stubborn ways of Taurus will also be a familiar personality trait, but at least this practical Taurus will be able to laugh about it.
Their keen mind will always think of money and what it can buy. Like any fixed sign, Taurus needs a solid place to call home – even if they travel the world. This sign of all the signs of the Zodiac, needs a place to call home and to dig in the ground.
People born this week: Candice Bergen, May 9, 1946; Bono, May 10, 1960; Louis Farrakhan, May 11, 1933; Emilio Estevez, May 12, 1962; Ravi Shanker, May 13, 1956; George Lucas, May 14, 1944; Jasper Johns, May 15, 1930; and Henry Fonda, May 16, 1905.
This is the week of the full moon, but by Thursday, May 15, life will cool down and we can return to a smooth and casual routine. Unless of course we enjoy chaos and then the drama continues with Mars still in Libra. Once again Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn should watch out for both good and bad vibes. Life is bound to be exciting now for everyone born under those signs. Another reminder, Mercury goes retrograde in less than a month, June 7 to be exact.
Aries (March 21 to April 20) Expect a new and positive direction and you won’t be disappointed. A newcomer in your circle of friends could prove to be just exactly the person you need in your life now. Don’t let anyone talk you out of giving your new ideas a try. The opportunity will appear, so grab it.
Taurus (April 21 to May 20) What might appear to be a difficult path could turn out to be exactly what you need now. So don’t ignore what might seem to be a challenge, it could turn out to the best thing in the world for you in the near future. Right now, you could seriously consider taking a tiny risk for love.
Gemini (May 21 to June 20) Let’s face it, there is nothing you enjoy more than a relationship challenge. So watch what is going on all around you now and you will find one delightful opportunity coming your way. An old friend could turn up at an odd time. If you make no judgment and just enjoy yourself, you will have a time to remember.
Cancer (June 21 to July 20) In the blink of an eye you could be headed in a new direction. This will be good for you now since you tend to find yourself working too hard and not playing enough. You need to review your real goals and then take it from there. This is a choice that only you can make. Talk to a trusted pal and then decide.
Leo (July 21 to Aug. 20) A newcomer in your life could trigger some past love. Just go slowly and keep your ideas to yourself. In that way you won’t have to live with the regrets of a possible mistake. Life should be bubbling around you and it will continue if you just let it. Your positive attitude will pay big dividends.
Virgo (Aug. 21 to Sept. 20) Using your communication abilities could get you exactly where you want to go – if used properly. The time has arrived for you to make demands on yourself that you have ignored in the past. You are in line for more responsibility at work and, if you concentrate, your wish will come true.
Libra (Sept. 21 to Oct. 20) Your credibility may be tested but don’t worry, you will come through with flying colors. There is no need to take anything personally this week. You are merely being tested for a higher role in a fantastic venture. You will love the new outlook you are now developing. Just be your usual cool self.
Scorpio (Oct. 21 to Nov. 20) The transition you are undergoing now will allow you to develop into the businessperson you were born to be. So maintain your latest goals by staying true to yourself and your goals. This is no time to do anything but make more demands on yourself.
Sagittarius (Nov. 21 to Dec. 20) Stay clear of anyone involved in heavy drama. The only thing it will do for you is cramp your new role. Keep moving your feet both on the dance floor and on the road. Your active life now will lead to an awesome lifestyle. Just don’t get caught up in a newcomer’s problems. It could cost you time and money.
Capricorn (Dec. 21 to Jan. 20) The time has come to stop the talking and deliver on your promises. Just pull everything together and you are ready to make a big move. More money and more power should be the goal and it should be yours within months. Your Saturn-ruled sign calls for discipline. That is what you need now.
Aquarius (Jan. 21 to Feb. 20) If you take the first step toward your ultimate goal this week, you will accept more responsibility. Without that one ingredient, you won’t get where you want to go. Once you understand that, new people – especially the opposite sex – will start appearing. So get busy and stay away from too much senseless fun.
Pisces (Feb. 21 to March 20) Having a golden job is everyone’s wish and yours should come true if you just let it trigger your heart. A friend is busy but needs your tender, loving friendship more than ever. So try taking time from your busy Neptune-filled life and have a meal together. Also, arrange some party time with a beau.
