The Day of Adopted Security | Pre-order Your 2019-20 Taurus Reading | All Other Signs
Keep moving along in your growth process; you’ve made considerable strides and are now ready for the next phase. You are looking at the world from an increasingly mature perspective, which is like coming into the full rights and power of adulthood: you are conscious of your free will, and know your ability to exercise it. Continue putting that into practice, and treat sunshine and storms alike as fuel for your journey.

Even a little awareness of where you’re coming from could go a long way right now — particularly when it comes to your sexual energy. (You can also read ‘creative energy’ or ‘life force’ for ‘sexual energy’ if it fits better, though several factors are emphasizing the more literal reading.) By ‘where you’re coming from’, I mean everything from your family of origin and their ancestors — and their baggage — to your own old hurts in the love-and-sex department (especially the ways your sense of identity or self has been impacted), to the facets of your erotic nature and history that you work hard to keep anyone else from knowing.
That’s a lot of ‘stuff’ with high voltage potential, and it may require careful handling as you figure out how to give it voice. You don’t need to shout to move this energy effectively, but it does want to move. Starting small could open the way for other, less pressurized, moves down the road — toward healing and a greater sense of freedom in being who you are.

It would be best to consider your entire situation as the need to express emotional energy. Your home reflects your feelings. Your feelings about your home and the condition of your living space tell us more about what you’re experiencing and the way you’re expressing your energy than anything else presently. It may seem that the ideas and sentiments you’re feeling are too large and too passionate for mere personal use but it seems to be working the other way: unless what you are moving through observing and learning are applied directly to your own life in tangible ways it will all seem curiously hollow. Take initiative where it counts and larger opportunities will follow.

The Day of Established Presence | Pre-order Your 2019-20 Taurus Reading | All Other Signs
Prepare to go on some adventures, whether in the physical or mental realm. Your mind is likely to be working excellently, and you may find it unusually easy to come up with interesting ideas. You can help this process along by doing what you can to maintain your wellbeing at all levels, down to choosing clean and nutritious food as often as you can; and by stimulating your brain with new and interesting experiences.

Today the Sun makes its first annual conjunction to Uranus in Taurus for this era. Are you in any kind of conscious process of becoming right now? If not, or if you feel something like that got interrupted or suspended last year, it’s possible this aspect may act like jumper cables to get you up and running. That said, it might not come through in the most convenient way; Uranus is known for being ‘revolutionary’ — which for most people (who are not instigating the revolution), means disruptive.
Yet Taurus is not a sign known for its enjoyment of sudden changes to routine, or of change simply for the sake of something different. Here’s the thing, though: most Taureans I know have a very strong sense of their core values. And if they become aware of a need to adjust in order to better express and serve those values, they can get very determined about moving in that direction.
You don’t have to be a Taurus to tap into that, however; you just need to feel how the ground is shifting, and then respond in the way that feels truest — and yet new — for you. Today’s Moon in Sagittarius should help you to access some extra optimism and flexibility if needed. Venus square Pholus is a reminder that even modest acts can express your emotions, desire, or pursuit of someone — and generate an effect.

You have likely experienced some dramatic examples of why honesty is so important. It is easy to deceive, often it’s difficult to tell the truth; but if deception traps us, truth opens like a parachute when naught else offers protection. The opportunities to dive in either direction continue to be present. You may at times wonder what, exactly, you mean when you say something; and whether what you say can ever bring across your true intentions. Still, the opening is there to make an effort, to explore, to reach — and such count for a great deal right now. There are times when restraint is the better part of valor, and this is not one of them. Make each decision one at a time, always based on the question, “What is real for me now?” That your personal reality (“personality”) can change so often or so quickly is truer to your nature than most would care to admit — but you know.

Honor your remarkable strength and your ability to persevere amid the peaks and troughs of life.

Remember you can draw on this source as often as you need it.

What truly feeds you, mind, body and soul? Do you feel like you have a split opinion, or opposed desires on that score? Mars in Gemini opposite Ceres in Sagittarius suggests you might be faced with someone or something that could fill this role — perhaps even in a mentor-like or motherly way. Depending on which option in your mind they (or it) fit, it might be more or less clear how to proceed. Perhaps start by asking lots of questions; listen carefully to what gets said (or shown, or demonstrated) and what goes unsaid. With Mars also moving into a square with Neptune in Pisces, there’s a strong imperative to check facts — and to be as honest with yourself as possible. That can get tricky if you’re feeling conflicted, or if what you want runs counter to what someone else wants. Go slowly if that’s the case. It’s okay to be wrong — we’re all just human beings trying to figure everything out, after all. So if you need to make a correction, do so sooner rather than later, and with genuine sincerity.

The Sun ingresses your opposite sign Scorpio on Monday, which indicates a shift of tone in your relationship life. Things could go one of two ways from here: toward greater depth and understanding, or toward separation. My impression is that events will proceed along a path that seems organic; emotions, like water, tend to flow with the psychic landscape. There’s a larger story involved, however, and it involves your longterm needs for clarity in your relationships. Clarity is a form of understanding, and in our current version of the world, it’s natural to experience that as vulnerability. There is also something about the nature of exchange. I believe that many people withhold generosity because to give to someone is to set up the conditions for loving them; I’ve seen over and over that we love who and what we take care of. I know it’s supposed to go the other way, and sometimes it does. The question is no longer what you can get, but what you can give. It’s no longer who belongs in your life, or not; the question is why or why not.

The Day of Worldly Challenge | Pre-order Your 2019-20 Taurus Reading | All Other Signs
Take note of any dreams or visions you might have, along with other messages you receive of that sort. There’s already a gathering of energy at your back, and you only need to steer in the direction you want. Your connections with the divine (or your higher self) and with the collective unconscious may prove invaluable guides. Listen carefully, and take in all the information offered you. What you make of it remains your prerogative.

It’s a busy day astrologically; can you feel it? Three significant objects changing signs in one day is a signal to feel for a distinct change in tone — in this case, your relationships and your body (or how you feel about both, as they intersect) could to be a focus. Sex, sexual expression and sexual secrets are also on the agenda.
Here’s what’s up: The Sun enters Taurus today, moving us into the heart of the season — and urging you to feel your body and express its needs and sensations, in according to your core values. With Uranus nearby, surprising new directions in these areas become likely. Can you roll with it? Later in the day, Venus — the planet ruling Taurus — itself moves into Aries. This may assist you in being more direct with your passion, though take note: Venus is also moving into aspect with planets that describe awareness of ‘old material’. Sex is a classic repository for repression, projection and generational secrets, so tread lightly, especially if you’re feeling fired up.
Mercury is in the mix, too, getting your head into the game with your heart and body. Pay attention to where your thoughts are directed. Finally, the asteroid Juno enters Cancer today. This looks like an enhanced need for emotional intimacy and attention. Can you offer that as much as you need to receive it from someone? With Juno also in contact with Venus, Mercury and their compatriots, be alert for any feelings of co-dependency. Stating your emotional needs directly should help to circumvent any temptation to slide into unintentional manipulation.
