** All About Taurus

All those rumors about Taureans being stubborn? They're true. But lest you begin to think that stubbornness is a bad trait, consider the way people talk about those who don't stick to what they believe in: wishy-washy, scattered, distracted. Isn't stubborn better? Of course, there are other words that suit the average Taurus quite well and have a nicer ring to them: focused, grounded and stable, to name just a few. In other words, if there's an important task to be accomplished, you'll want a Bull for the job.

But there's a lot more to that Taurean nature than the ability to make a decision and keep to it -- innate sensuality, for example. These folks are the touchmeisters of the zodiac, so if it smells, tastes, looks, sounds or feels good, they're there. Just step into the home of the nearest Taurus for ample proof. You may not find the Mona Lisa on the living room wall or a bottle of Dom in the fridge, but you'll come across something that looks just as elegant and tastes just as good. And you'll be in luck, too, because the Bull is more than happy to share ... as long as the company is of equal quality.

When it comes to relationships, in fact, the one thing a Taurus absolutely insists on is that they have something to share. These folks are very big on getting a return on their investments, no matter what or how they've invested -- and that goes for time, energy and resources. If you're involved with a Taurus on a one-on-one basis, it's not just unbelievably pleasurable, it's also a tremendous compliment!

With Venus as its ruler, Taurus settles for nothing less than the best of everything. If a Taurus isn't sure their partner answers that description on many levels, they wouldn't waste their time.

So if you're a Bull yourself, these thoughts might go through your mind every time you and your sweetie get into an argument that leaves you wondering if you should walk out and stay gone. You know you wouldn't be with them if they weren't the best, so be true to yourself and your decisions will prove to be as solid as you are!!

** Your Starcast for April 19 - May 19

April 19: Sun enters Taurus
The Sun's transit through earthy Taurus highlights your need to create more material security. So gather your pennies, put your money in a safe place, and analyze how you can improve your stability. Whether you get a job to save for college expenses or make a sensible plan for retirement, this is the time to take stock of where you are and what you want. Determination, loyalty and stubbornness are Taurus characteristics you can best utilize right now!

April 23: Venus squares Neptune and sextiles Uranus
Relationships can be trying, confusing and exciting -- all at the same time. And this week is one of those times! Pay extra attention so you don't mistake a frog for a prince, given love planet Venus's connection with dreamy Neptune. At the same time, be sure to take advantage of Venus's sextile to exciting Uranus, since this aspect signals your need to break out of old ruts and patterns.

April 24: Venus trines Saturn
The excitement and confusion of yesterday stabilizes with this sensible aspect. Inner and outer support systems fall into place, and you become clear-eyed when it comes to the important people in your life. This is an ideal time to speak up about changes you'd like to see in your relationships.

April 24: Venus enters Gemini
You encounter another relationship shift this week, as the love planet enters curious, boredom-averse Gemini. Take advantage of this social transit by signing up for a workshop or spending time at your local coffee shop -- anywhere you can be around people. If you're single, why not join a dating service? Already hooked-up? Sign up for a ballroom dancing class, or perhaps Italian lessons so you can speak with the locals on your next Roman vacation! (If you know your chart, look to the house where Venus is transiting for more ideas.)

April 26: Saturn opposes Uranus
You should be used to this aspect by now! Saturn has been opposing Uranus since November 2008 (in this series). Now these two planets connect again, emphasizing the change (Uranus) vs. experience (Saturn) mantra. No doubt your life has seen some significant changes since 2008! Your goal during this opposition is to maintain a healthy balance between responsibilities and your desire to make changes in your life. If you've resisted the message for change, you'll certainly be reminded of its importance now! On the other hand, if you've been rebellious and neglectful of your responsibilities, you will receive an important message about accountability at this time. Either way, your challenge is to build upon your experiences while also being open to change.

April 28: Full Moon in Scorpio
No sign is more passionate than this intense water sign! And with this full Moon -- always a time of increased emotions -- you can expect to feel strongly about everything. Figure out what you can let go of during this time of culmination, and make sure you don't work against your own best interests, with Mars weighing in with a square to this full Moon. Financial issues are highlighted right now, and you may need to decide where to invest your money -- whether in a child's education, or perhaps your next vacation!

May 2: Saturn quincunxes Neptune
Saturn represents building, and in Virgo it's time to streamline your day-to-day routine. Neptune represents the dream, and in Aquarius, your quest for a better life is -- and should be -- a central theme. Some of you are good builders; others of you are good dreamers. Globally and personally, these two energies are having a serious conversation right now. You are in the process of becoming clearer on the difference between your fantasies and dreams. This aspect reminds you how important it is to make appropriate adjustments in your long-term planning when environments change and new information becomes available.

May 3: Mercury trines Pluto
A Mercury-trine-Pluto aspect -- especially when both planets are in earth signs -- marks a great time to sell ideas and products, or to deepen your understanding of what's workable and what needs to be let go. Ordinarily, this would be a good aspect under which to sign contracts ... but because Mercury is currently retrograde, return instead to old ideas so you can tweak your goals.

May 4: Sun squares Mars
People tend to work at cross-purposes under this fiery aspect. Although you're likely to express yourself with a great deal of passion, you also have a tendency to be extra-concerned with getting your way. Mars heats up any planet with which it comes into contact, and you can easily get off-track by approaching people in a way that doesn't help you. Instead of pushing people to do something they don't want to do, take this formidable energy and pour it into achieving your own goals.

May 7: Venus sextiles Mars
Venus in chatty, curious Gemini and Mars in fun Leo make a great team in this air/fire combination. Venus softens Mars's hard edges, while Mars provides a strong shoulder to lean on. Opportunities to meet someone are abundant if you're single -- or if you're in a committed relationship, now is a great time to rekindle your romance. Make the most of this extremely social aspect!

May 11: Mercury turns direct
Have you had enough with glitches? As Mercury ends its retrograde in loyal Taurus, it's time to incorporate everything you've learned since April 17, when Mercury turned retrograde in this determined sign. Communication becomes easier and less confusing now, and you find it easier to make a decision. Hopefully you used the retrograde time well and have conducted a proper review and became better informed about your options. Now you can comfortably sign those contracts, send out your resume and reach out to others.

May 13: New Moon in Taurus
New Moons mark fresh beginnings, and in earthy Taurus -- the sign that rules personal values and money -- it's time for you to think about how to build and maintain a comfortable, secure life. Because so many planets connect with this new Moon, you receive a variety of messages about how to build more financial stability. Use the energy of this Moon to make a plan to save money and embody values that accurately reflect where you now are in life.

May 19: Venus enters Cancer
Are you ready to cuddle up? Making close emotional connections is more important than anything now, so enough thinking and talking! The relationship planet in this nurturing, cozy sign loves to wrap up in blankets, make some popcorn and watch a favorite movie. Single? Now's the time to reach out, for a loving heart opens up a universe of possibilities!

Enjoy the Sun's transit through Taurus

** Astrolesson: When Mercury Turns Retrograde

Since Mercury is retrograde in Taurus during most of this solar period, this is a perfect time to review the meaning of this important cycle!

Mercury is the planet that rules all communication, thoughts and perceptions. Put simply: When you think, you're using your Mercury! Mercury in Taurus in a natal chart shows a person who likes to take his or her time and deliberate carefully. You won't get quick answers from a person who has Mercury in Taurus!

With Mercury retrograde in this practical sign, it's more important than ever to slow down your thinking process. The glitches, delays and misunderstandings that are the hallmark of any Mercury retrograde period are infamous. Yet when you pay attention, you can make the most of this time by not pushing forward with your projects and plans; instead, take this opportunity to review them.

Keep in mind that because this messenger planet rules communications and travel, some of the common retrograde occurrences are delayed plans, computer glitches and stalled cars. If you can, wait until Mercury turns direct to launch anything new or make purchases related to communication or travel.

Of course, if you know your own chart, examine the house Mercury is traveling through for more information. Most importantly, work with this cycle rather than resist it, and be sure to review -- rather than act on -- information!
