A siblings or neighbor may be going through a crisis right now. Your plans may be complicated or cancelled as a result. Make this a time of quietude and rest. Change is inevitable and acceptance is the path. Expand your horizons by communicating with new people. You just might find yourself at the right place at the right time. Be yourself and open up socially and emotionally. The connections you make now will open new doors and lead you in exciting directions. Interacting with those who think differently than you will help you see the bigger picture.

You need to express yourself today, Taurus, but don’t feel pressured to share your musings as clever Mercury swings into Aries and your dreamy, intuitive twelfth house. Until May 2, make time to tune in. Unique ideas will flood your consciousness (and your subconscious), so free up your schedule and stay open to unexpected downloads of inspiration. Keep your journal, guitar or sketchpad within reach. This is the perfect time to start a meditation practice, even if it’s just sitting quietly and following your breath.
